The total amount of Per Share Merger Consideration payable to the holders of all of the shares of MLB Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time is referred to hereinafter as the “Merger Consideration.”

2.3 Exchange of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares.

(a) OVB shall take all steps necessary to cause the Paying Agent, not later than five (5) Business Days after the Effective Time, to mail to holders of MLB Common Stock of record immediately prior to the Effective Time (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form that is reasonably acceptable to MLB and containing such customary provisions as OVB may specify (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected and risk of loss and title to Certificates and Book-Entry Shares shall pass only upon proper delivery of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares to the Paying Agent upon adherence to the procedures set forth in the letter of transmittal, and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of such holder’s Certificates and Book-Entry Shares) (“Letter of Transmittal”), and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of such holder’s Certificates and Book-Entry Shares in exchange for the Per Share Merger Consideration.

(b) Upon surrender of a Certificate or Book-Entry Share to the Paying Agent for exchange, together with a properly completed Letter of Transmittal and such other documents as may be reasonably required by the Exchange Agent or OVB, the holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Per Share Merger Consideration to which such holder of MLB Common Stock shall have become entitled in accordance with Section 2.1(d). No interest will be paid or accrued on the Per Share Merger Consideration. The Certificates or Book-Entry Shares so surrendered shall be canceled.

(c) If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, OVB or the Paying Agent, in its sole discretion, may require the owner of such lost, stolen, or destroyed Certificate to make and deliver to OVB or the Paying Agent an affidavit of that fact and an agreement in form reasonably satisfactory to OVB indemnifying OVB and the Surviving Corporation against any claim that may be made against OVB or the Surviving Corporation and to deliver a bond (in such sum as OVB or the Paying Agent may reasonably direct) as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Paying Agent, OVB, or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Certificate.

(d) Any portion of the Payment Fund that remains undistributed to holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares as of the date twelve (12) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to OVB upon demand, and any holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares who have not theretofore surrendered their Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in accordance with this Section 2.3 shall thereafter look only to OVB for satisfaction of their claims for the Per Share Merger Consideration, without interest thereon.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Dissenting Shares” means any shares of MLB Common Stock as to which a Dissenting Shareholder has properly exercised a demand for (and has not withdrawn or lost the right to demand) fair market value pursuant to Chapter 13 of the CGCL. At the Effective Time, all Dissenting Shares shall be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist. No Dissenting Shareholder shall be entitled to any Per Share Merger Consideration in respect of any Dissenting Shares unless and until such holder shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such holder’s right to demand fair market value of such holder’s Dissenting Shares under the CGCL, and any Dissenting Shareholder shall be entitled to receive only the payment provided by Chapter 13 of the CGCL with respect to the Dissenting Shares owned by such Dissenting Shareholder and not any Per Share Merger Consideration. MLB shall give OVB (a) prompt notice of any written demands for fair market value, attempted withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to applicable Law relating to shareholders’ demands for fair market value, and (b) the opportunity to consult with MLB regarding, and to direct (consistent with MLB obligations under Chapter 13 of the CGCL), all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for fair market value under the CGCL. MLB shall not, except with the prior written consent of OVB, voluntarily make any payment with respect to any demands for fair market value of Dissenting Shares or make any offer to settle, or settle, any such demands. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the condition set forth in Section 6.2(j), any and all payments to each Dissenting Shareholder on account of Dissenting Shares shall be deducted from the Merger Consideration on a dollar-for-dollar basis.

The Paying Agent shall pay the Option Consideration on the Closing Date. The Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Option Consideration paid in accordance with this Section 2.5 on account of MLB Stock Options such amounts as the Paying Agent is required to deduct and withhold from such payment under the Code or any similar Law. At the Effective Time, MLB Equity Plans and all MLB Stock Options issued thereunder that have not previously been exercised, whether or not then vested and whether or not then exercisable, shall terminate and be of no further effect. Any payments pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall be made only after the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in ARTICLE VI.

(b) Each holder of an MLB Stock Option listed on Schedule A shall have entered into an In-the-Money Option Holder Agreement in the form of Exhibit D attached to this Agreement (the “In-the-Money Stock Option Holder Agreement”) dated at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date and prior to payment of the Option Consideration, (i) confirming the number of MLB Stock Options held, (ii) confirming that the treatment of such MLB Stock Options pursuant to this Agreement and the amounts to be paid pursuant to this Agreement have been correctly calculated, (iii) acknowledging that in consideration for the cancellation of such MLB Stock Options, the holder agrees to accept the Option Consideration, (iv) containing waivers for such other matters as reasonably determined by OVB and (v) providing for the termination of such holder’s MLB Stock Options and restricting the exercise of MLB Stock Options (whether vested or not vested). Each holder of an MLB Stock Option listed on Schedule A shall be entitled to receive the Option Consideration, in lieu of each share of MLB Common Stock that would otherwise have been issuable upon exercise thereof.

(c) MLB shall take all actions necessary to ensure that from and after the Effective Time neither the Paying Agent nor OVB or the Surviving Corporation will be required to deliver Option Consideration or any amount payable pursuant to this Section 2.5 above to any Person pursuant to or in settlement of MLB Stock Options after the Effective Time.

(d) At or prior to the Closing Date, MLB and the MLB Board and its compensation committee, as applicable, shall adopt any resolutions and take any actions which are necessary to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.5.

The deposits of MLB are insured up to the applicable limits (or fully insured if there is no limit) through the DIF as administered by the FDIC to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, and all premiums and assessments required to be paid have been paid when due. No Legal Action for the termination or revocation of such insurance is pending, or to the Knowledge of MLB, has any such termination or revocation been threatened. MLB has the requisite corporate power and authority to own or lease and operate all of its properties and assets and to carry on its business as is now being conducted. MLB is duly licensed or qualified to do business in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted by it or the character or location of the properties and assets owned or leased by it makes such licensing or qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so licensed or qualified would not reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, have a MLB Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Charter Documents. MLB has delivered or made available to OVB a correct and complete copy of its articles of incorporation and bylaws, each as amended and currently in effect. MLB is not in violation of any of the provisions of its articles of incorporation or bylaws, each as amended and currently in effect.

(c) Minute Books. The minute books of MLB, in all material respects, contain accurate records of all meetings and accurately reflect all other material actions taken by MLB’s shareholders, MLB Board and all standing committees of the MLB Board.

(d) Subsidiaries. MLB has no Subsidiaries.

3.2 Capital Structure.

(a) Capital Stock. The authorized shares of stock of MLB consist of 20,000,000 shares of MLB Common Stock and 5,000,000 shares of MLB Preferred Stock. As of the date of this Agreement (i) 4,437,985 shares of MLB Common Stock are issued and outstanding (and no shares of MLB Common Stock are held by MLB in its treasury), (ii) 73,500 shares of MLB Common Stock have been reserved for issuance pursuant to MLB Equity Plans in respect of MLB Stock Options outstanding, (iii) no shares of MLB Common Stock have been reserved for future issuance pursuant to awards under MLB Equity Plans not granted on the date of this Agreement, and (iv) no shares of MLB Preferred Stock are issued or outstanding or held by MLB in its treasury. Except as set forth in this Section 3.2(a), as of the date of this Agreement, MLB had no MLB Common Stock or any other securities reserved for issuance or required to be reserved for issuance. All such issued and outstanding shares of MLB Common Stock are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, were not issued in violation of or subject to any preemptive rights, Lien, voting restriction, purchase option, call option, right of first refusal, subscription agreement, or any other similar right, and were issued in accordance with applicable Law.

(b) Voting Securities. MLB has not authorized or issued any, and there are no outstanding, bonds, debentures, notes, or other indebtedness which the holders thereof have the right to vote (or convertible into, or exchangeable for, securities having the right to vote) on any matters on which shareholders of MLB may vote.

(c) MLB Stock-Based Rights. Section 3.2(c) of MLB Disclosure Schedule sets forth, as of the date of this Agreement, a complete and correct list of each MLB Stock Option, award of restricted shares of MLB Common Stock, Contract relating to the issued or unissued capital stock of MLB, or obligating MLB to issue, grant, or sell any shares of capital stock of or other equity interests in or securities convertible into equity interests in MLB (each, a “MLB Stock-Based Right”), setting forth with respect to each such MLB Stock-Based Right (i) the name, (ii) the holder thereof, (iii) the plan under which such MLB Stock-Based Right was granted, if any, (iv) the number of shares of MLB Common Stock subject to such MLB Stock-Based Right, (v) the per-share price at which such MLB Stock-Based Right may be exercised or the shares of MLB Common Stock subject to such MLB Stock-Based Right were sold or issued, (vi) the grant and expiration dates, and (vii) the terms of vesting, including whether (and to what extent) the vesting will be accelerated in any way by this Agreement or by termination of employment or change in position following consummation of the Merger (whether alone or upon the occurrence of any additional or subsequent events). Schedule A lists every MLB Stock Option having an exercise price less than the Per Share Merger Consideration. With respect to each grant of a MLB Stock-Based Right, (i) each such grant was made in accordance with the terms of the applicable MLB Equity Plan and applicable Law, and (ii) each such grant was properly accounted for in accordance with GAAP in the financial statements (including the related notes) of MLB. All MLB Stock Options have been granted with a per-share exercise price equal to no less than the fair market value of the underlying stock on the date the option was granted within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and associated Treasury Department guidance. Each MLB Stock Option intended to qualify as an “incentive stock option” under Section 422 of the Code has been structured to so qualify. Each grant of a MLB Stock Option was duly authorized no later than the date on which the grant of such MLB Stock Option was by its terms to be effective by all necessary corporate action, including, as applicable, approval by the MLB Board (or a duly constituted and authorized committee thereof), and any required shareholder approval by the necessary number of votes or written consents, and the award agreement (if any) governing such grant was duly executed and delivered by each party thereto. MLB has not granted, and there is no and has been no MLB policy or practice to grant, any MLB Stock Options prior to, or otherwise coordinated the grant of MLB Stock Options with, the release or other public announcement of material information regarding MLB or its financial results or prospects. The treatment of MLB Stock Options provided for under this Agreement, including but not limited to Section 2.5, is consistent in all material respects with and not in violation of any document or agreement pertaining to a MLB Stock Option or a MLB Equity Plan or applicable Law. Upon the Effective Time, no MLB Equity Plan or MLB Stock Options will be outstanding. From January 1, 2015 through the date of this Agreement, MLB has not accelerated the vesting or lapsing of restrictions with respect to any MLB Stock-Based Right, or adopted or amended any MLB Equity Plan. All shares of MLB Common Stock subject to issuance pursuant to a MLB Stock-Based Right will, upon issuance on the terms and conditions specified in the instruments pursuant to which they are issuable, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable. Except for MLB Stock-Based Rights set forth on Section 3.2(c) of MLB Disclosure Schedule, there are no outstanding options, warrants, calls, subscription rights, exercisable, convertible or exchangeable securities, stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights, any other rights, awards or Contracts (contingent or otherwise) that obligate MLB to issue, transfer or sell any shares of MLB Common Stock or any investment that is convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for any shares of MLB Common Stock.

(a) Subject to Section 5.4(b) and Section 5.4(f), MLB shall not, and shall cause each of its Representatives not to, directly or indirectly (i) solicit, initiate, encourage, induce, or facilitate any inquiries, offers or the making or announcement of any proposal or other action designed to facilitate any inquires or proposals that constitutes or may reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, (ii) furnish any information regarding MLB or provide any access to the properties, books and records of MLB to any Person in connection with or in response to an Acquisition Proposal or an inquiry or indication of interest that may reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, (iii) initiate, engage or participate in discussions (except for the limited purposes of notifying such Person of the existence of the provisions of this Section 5.4(a) or negotiations with any Person with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or that may reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, or (iv) approve, endorse, or recommend, or enter into any agreement, arrangement or understanding with respect to any Acquisition Proposal (including any letter of intent, letter of interest, term sheet, agreement in principle, memorandum of understanding, merger agreement, asset purchase agreement, share exchange agreement, option agreement or other similar agreement (whether binding or not) constituting or related to or intended to, or that may reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal (other than a confidentiality agreement referred to in or permitted by Section 5.4(b)), or that is intended or that may reasonably be expected to result in the abandonment, termination or failure to consummate the Merger. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, MLB acknowledges and agrees that any violation of or the taking of any action inconsistent with any of the restrictions set forth in the preceding sentence by any Representative of MLB, whether or not such Representative is purporting to act on behalf of MLB, shall be deemed to constitute a breach of this Section 5.4 by MLB.

(b) Prior to the adoption of this Agreement by the Requisite MLB Vote, Section 5.4(a) shall not prohibit MLB from furnishing nonpublic information regarding MLB to or entering into negotiations or discussions with any Person in response to a bona fide, unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal that the MLB Board concludes in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor and its outside legal counsel) constitutes or is more likely than not to result in a Superior Proposal that is submitted to MLB by such Person (and not withdrawn prior to the furnishing of such information or such discussions) if (i) neither MLB nor any Representative of MLB shall have violated any of the restrictions set forth in Section 5.4, (ii) the MLB Board concludes in good faith, after having obtained and taken into account the advice of its outside legal counsel, that such action is required or is reasonably like to be required in order for MLB Board to comply with its fiduciary obligations to MLB’s shareholders under applicable Law, (iii) at least two (2) Business Days prior to furnishing any such nonpublic information to or entering into discussions with such Person MLB gives OVB written notice of the identity of such Person and of MLB’s intention to furnish nonpublic information to or enter into discussions with such Person, and MLB receives from such Person an executed Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement, and (iv) upon furnishing any such nonpublic information to such Person MLB simultaneously furnishes such nonpublic information to OVB (to the extent such nonpublic information has not been previously furnished by MLB to OVB).

(c) MLB shall notify OVB promptly (but in no event later than twenty-four (24) hours) after receipt of (i) any inquiry or indication of interest that may lead to an Acquisition Proposal, (ii) an Acquisition Proposal (including any modification of or an amendment to any Acquisition Proposal), or (iii) any request for nonpublic information relating to MLB (including access to the properties, books or records of MLB) by any Person that has made, or to the Knowledge of MLB, may be considering making, an Acquisition Proposal. Such notice to OVB shall be made orally and in writing, and shall indicate the identity of the Person submitting any of the foregoing, and the terms of any such Acquisition Proposal (or modification or amendment), inquiry, indication or request. MLB shall keep OVB fully informed on a current basis of any additional information requested or provided by MLB and any changes in the status and any changes or modifications in the terms of any such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, indication or request.

(d) MLB shall, and shall instruct and cause its Representatives to, immediately cease and terminate any existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any Persons (other than OVB) conducted prior to the date of this Agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal. MLB shall use reasonable best efforts to request all Persons other than OVB and its Representatives and MLB’s Representatives who have been furnished confidential information regarding MLB in connection with the solicitation of or discussions regarding an Acquisition Proposal within the eighteen (18) months prior to the date of this Agreement to promptly return or destroy such information and provide certification thereof.

(e) MLB shall not (i) release any Person from, and MLB agrees to use reasonable efforts to enforce, the confidentiality, standstill, non-solicitation or similar provisions of any agreement to which MLB is a party with respect to an Acquisition Proposal that remains in effect as of the date of this Agreement, and (ii) shall immediately take all steps necessary to terminate any approval that may have been given prior to the date of this Agreement under any such provisions authorizing any Person to make an Acquisition Proposal.

(f) Nothing set forth in this Section 5.4 shall prohibit the MLB Board from taking and disclosing to MLB’s shareholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a)(2)-(3) promulgated under the Exchange Act or complying with the provisions of Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act (as if the MLB Common Stock were registered under the Exchange Act), if the MLB Board determines in good faith after consultation with outside legal counsel that failure to do so would violate any applicable Law (as if MLB Common Stock were registered under the Exchange Act); provided, however, that compliance by MLB with such obligations shall not relieve MLB of any of its obligations under this Section 5.4 and shall not be deemed to permit the MLB Board to make a Change in Recommendation or take any of the actions referred to in Section 5.6(c), except to the extent permitted by Section 5.6(e).

5.5 Proxy Statement.

Each of OVB, OVCB and MLB shall cooperate and shall instruct their respective Representatives to cooperate in the preparation of the proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) relating to the meeting of MLB shareholders, including any adjournments or postponements thereof, to be held in connection with this Agreement and the Merger (the “MLB Meeting”). MLB shall not distribute, and shall not permit to be distributed, the Proxy Statement to MLB’s shareholders without OVB’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

5.6 MLB Meeting.

(a) MLB shall take all action necessary in accordance with applicable Law and its articles of incorporation and bylaws, each as amended and in effect from time to time, to duly call, give notice of, convene and, as soon as practicable in compliance with applicable Law, hold the MLB Meeting and, except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.6, use its reasonable best efforts to take such other actions necessary to obtain the relevant shareholder approvals, in each case as promptly as practicable for the purpose of obtaining the Requisite MLB Vote. MLB (in consultation with OVB) shall set a single date for Persons entitled to notice of and to vote at MLB Meeting and shall not change such record date (whether in connection with MLB Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof) without the prior written consent of OVB.

(b) Except in the case of a Change in Recommendation permitted by Section 5.7(e), MLB shall solicit, and use its reasonable best efforts to obtain, the Requisite MLB Vote at MLB Meeting. Subject to Section 5.7(e), MLB shall, through the MLB Board, recommend to MLB’s shareholders adoption of this Agreement (the “MLB Board Recommendation”), include such recommendation in the Proxy Statement and (iii) use reasonable best efforts to obtain the MLB Requisite Vote from MLB’s shareholders. MLB hereby acknowledges its obligation to submit this Agreement to its shareholders at the MLB Meeting as provided in this Section 5.6.

(c) MLB shall cooperate and keep OVB informed on a current basis regarding its solicitation efforts and voting results following the dissemination of the Proxy Statement to the shareholders of MLB.

(d) Subject to Section 5.6(e), neither the MLB Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) withdraw, modify, amend or qualify the MLB Board Recommendation in a manner adverse to OVB (it being understood that the failure of the MLB Board Recommendation to be unanimous shall constitute a withdrawal, modification, amendment or qualification that is adverse to OVB), (ii) adopt or propose a resolution to withdraw, amend or qualify the MLB Board Recommendation in a manner adverse to OVB, (iii) take any other action that is or becomes disclosed publicly and which can reasonably be interpreted to indicate that the MLB Board or any committee thereof does not support the Merger and this Agreement or does not believe that the Merger and this Agreement are in the best interests of MLB’s shareholders (it being understood that taking a neutral position or no position with respect to any Acquisition Proposal shall constitute an adverse modification), (iv) publicly announce its intention to withdraw, modify, amend or qualify the MLB Board Recommendation in a manner adverse to OVB, (v) fail to reaffirm without qualification the MLB Board Recommendation, or fail to state publicly without qualification that the Merger and this Agreement are in the best interests of MLB’s shareholders, within five (5) Business Days after OVB requests in writing that such action be taken, (vi) fail to announce publicly, within ten (10) Business Days after a tender offer or exchange offer relating to securities of MLB shall have been commenced, that the MLB Board recommends rejection of such tender or exchange offer, (vii) fail to issue, within ten (10) Business Days after an Acquisition Proposal is publicly announced, a press release announcing its opposition to such Acquisition Proposal, (viii) approve, endorse, or recommend any Acquisition Proposal, or (ix) resolve or propose to take any action described in clauses (i) through (viii) of this sentence (each of the foregoing actions described in clauses (i) through (viii) of this sentence being referred to as a “Change in Recommendation”).

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5.6(c) or elsewhere in this Agreement, at any time prior to obtaining the Requisite MLB Vote, the MLB Board may effect a Change of Recommendation with respect to an Acquisition Proposal, if (i) MLB has complied with its obligations under Section 5.4 and Section 5.6(a), (b) and (c), (ii) the MLB Board receives an unsolicited bona fide, written Acquisition Proposal from any Person that is not withdrawn, and (iii) a majority of the entire MLB Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its independent financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal; provided, however, that (A) a majority of the entire MLB Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure of the MLB Board to take such action would be or would be reasonably likely to be a violation of its fiduciary duties to the shareholders of MLB under applicable Law, and (B) (1) MLB provides OVB prior written notice at least five (5) Business Days (or such longer period as it may be extended upon the modification or amendment of the Acquisition Proposal as contemplated below) prior to taking such action, which notice shall state that MLB Board has received a Superior Proposal and, absent any revision to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, MLB Board has resolved to effect a Change of Recommendation, which notice shall specify the basis for such Change of Recommendation or termination, including the material terms of the Superior Proposal and the proposed documents and agreements to effect the Superior Proposal (a “Notice of Superior Proposal”) (it being understood that such Notice of Superior Proposal shall not in and of itself be deemed a Change of Recommendation); (2) during such five (5) Business Day period (as it may be extended upon the modification or amendment of the Acquisition Proposal as contemplated below), MLB negotiates in good faith (including by making its officers, directors and its financial and legal advisors reasonably available to negotiate) with OVB (to the extent that OVB wishes to negotiate) to enable OVB to make an offer that is at least as favorable to the shareholders of MLB so that such Acquisition Proposal would cease to constitute a Superior Proposal; and (3) at the end of such five (5) Business Day period (as it may be extended upon the modification or amendment of the Acquisition Proposal as contemplated below, or such earlier time that OVB advises MLB in writing that OVB no longer wishes to negotiate to amend this Agreement), a majority of the entire MLB Board, after taking into account any modifications to the terms of this Agreement and the Merger agreed to by OVB after receipt of such notice, continues to believe (after consultation with its independent financial advisors and outside legal counsel) that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and, after consultation with the MLB Advisor and its outside legal counsel, that the failure to accept the Acquisition Proposal would or would be reasonably likely to result in a violation of its fiduciary duties to MLB’s shareholders under applicable Law. In the event of any revisions to the terms of an Acquisition Proposal giving rise to the Notice of Superior Proposal that are material to such Acquisition Proposal after the Notice of Superior Proposal has been given to OVB, such revisions shall be deemed a new Acquisition Proposal and MLB shall be required to deliver a new Notice of Superior Proposal to OVB and to comply with the requirements of this Section 5.6(e) with respect to such new Acquisition Proposal, provided, however, that the notice period of clause (e)(iii)(B)(1) shall be reduced to three (3) Business Days.

(f) Nothing in Section 5.6(e) shall be interpreted to excuse MLB and MLB Board from complying with its unqualified obligation to submit this Agreement to MLB’s shareholders at the MLB Meeting and MLB shall not submit to the vote of its shareholders at or prior to MLB Meeting any Acquisition Proposal other than the Merger. Without limiting the foregoing, if MLB Board has withdrawn or modified the MLB Board Recommendation as permitted by Section 5.6(e), then, unless this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with Section 7.1, the MLB Board shall submit this Agreement to MLB’s shareholders without recommendation (although the resolutions adopting this Agreement as of the date hereof may not be rescinded or amended), in which event MLB Board may communicate the basis for its lack of a recommendation to MLB’s shareholders in Proxy Statement or an appropriate amendment or supplement thereto to the extent required by applicable Law.

5.7 Approvals.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement (including those contained in this Section 5.7), each of OVB and MLB shall, and OVB shall cause OVCB to, use its reasonable best efforts to take or cause to be taken all actions, and to do or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, and to satisfy all conditions to, the Contemplated Transactions as soon as practicable, including (i) obtaining all necessary Governmental Authorizations, and the making of all necessary registrations and filings (including filings with Governmental Entities) and the taking of all steps as may be necessary or advisable to obtain an approval or waiver from or to avoid an action or proceeding by any Governmental Entity, (ii) obtaining all necessary consents or waivers from or providing notice to third parties (including actions required in order to continue any MLB Material Contract (including any Contract entered into following the date of this Agreement that would have been a MLB Material Contract if it had been entered into prior to the time this Agreement was entered into) following the Closing or to avoid any penalty or other fee under such MLB Material Contract, in each case arising in connection with the Contemplated Transactions, and (iii) the execution and delivery of any additional instruments necessary to consummate the Merger and to fully carry out the purposes of this Agreement. Subject to applicable Law, MLB and OVB shall promptly cooperate and coordinate with the other in the taking of the actions contemplated by clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) immediately above and supply the other with any information that may be reasonably required in order to effectuate the taking of such actions. Each party hereto shall promptly inform the other party of any communication from any Governmental Entity regarding any of the Contemplated Transactions. If MLB or OVB receives a request for additional information or documentary material from any Governmental Entity with respect to Contemplated Transactions, then it shall use reasonable commercial efforts to make, or cause to be made, as soon as reasonably practicable and after consultation with the other party, an appropriate response in compliance with such request. Neither OVB nor MLB shall commit to or agree (and OVB shall not permit OVCB to commit to or agree) with any Governmental Entity to stay, toll or extend any applicable waiting period under any applicable Law without the prior written consent of the other. In the event that any party shall fail to obtain any such third party consent as required in clause (ii), that party shall use reasonable commercial efforts, and shall take any such actions reasonably requested by the other party, to minimize any adverse effect on the consummation of the Merger or on the Surviving Corporation businesses and financial condition resulting, or that would be reasonably likely to result after the Effective Time, from the failure to obtain such consent.

(b) Subject to applicable Law relating to the exchange of information, OVB and MLB shall upon request furnish each other with all information concerning OVB, OVCB, MLB, and their respective directors, officers and shareholders and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary in connection with any statement, filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of OVB, OVCB or MLB to any Governmental Entity in connection with the Contemplated Transactions. OVB and MLB shall have the right to review in advance and, to the extent practicable, each will consult the other on, in each case subject to applicable Law relating to the exchange of information, any filing made or proposed to be made with, or written materials submitted or proposed to be submitted to, any third party or any Governmental Entity in connection with the Contemplated Transactions.

(c) Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Agreement, under no circumstances shall OVB, OVCB or MLB be required, and the other party and its Subsidiaries, if any, shall not be permitted (without the first party’s prior written consent in its sole discretion), to take any action or commit to take any action, or agree to any condition, restriction or requirement, involving any of them pursuant to this Section 5.7 or otherwise in connection with obtaining the foregoing Government Authorizations, that would, or would be reasonably likely to, individually or in the aggregate, materially reduce the benefits of the Merger to such a degree that the first party would not have entered into this Agreement had such conditions, restrictions or requirements been known at the date of this Agreement (a “Burdensome Condition”); provided, however, that if requested by OVB, then MLB will take or commit to take any such action, or agree to any such condition or restriction, so long as such action, commitment, agreement, condition or restriction is binding on MLB only in the event the Closing occurs.

(d) Subject to applicable Law (including applicable Law relating to the exchange of information), MLB and OVB shall keep each other apprised of the status of matters relating to the completion of the Contemplated Transactions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing (i) each of OVB, OVCB and MLB shall promptly furnish the other with copies of notices or other communications received by it, respectively (or written summaries of communications received orally), from any third party or Governmental Entity with respect to the Contemplated Transactions, (ii) each of OVB, OVCB and MLB shall provide the other a reasonable opportunity to review in advance, and to the extent practicable accept the reasonable comments of the other in connection with, any proposed non-confidential written communication to, including any filings with, any Governmental Entity, and (iii) MLB shall consider in good faith OVB’s views with respect to and confer in good faith with OVB to resolve any disagreement as to strategy with respect to any communication by MLB with any Governmental Entity or third party relating to the Contemplated Transactions.

(e) In the event that any Legal Action is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) by a Governmental Entity challenging the Contemplated Transactions, MLB shall cooperate in all respects with OVB and shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to contest and resist any such Legal Action and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any Order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the Contemplated Transactions.

5.8 Current Information and Reports. During the Pre-Closing Period:

(a) MLB and OVB will cause one or more of its executive officers to confer on a regular and frequent basis (not less than monthly) with executive officers of the other party and to report the general status of its ongoing operations. MLB and OVB will promptly notify the other party of any material change in the normal course of business or in the operation of its business or properties (or, in the case of OVB, of OVCB).

(b) MLB and OVB shall promptly notify the other party, and in any event not later than three (3) Business Days of (i) any Legal Action commenced, or to such party’s Knowledge threatened against it (or, in the case of OVB, against OVCB), (ii) any event which may materially and adversely affect the ordinary course of business, and (iii) any event, change or effect during the Pre-Closing Period which causes or is reasonably likely to cause the failure of the conditions set forth in ARTICLE VI.

(c) MLB will furnish to OVB (i) a copy of any report submitted to the MLB Board and access to the working papers related thereto and copies of other operating or financial reports prepared for management of any of its businesses and access to the working papers related thereto; provided, however, that MLB need not furnish OVB any privileged communications of, or memoranda prepared by, the Advisors to MLB, or any confidential reports, confidential documents, or minutes of meetings, including, without limitation, meetings held by the MLB Board or its committees and by management, or any other similar materials, in each of the foregoing cases whether in writing or in any form of electronic media and which are directly or indirectly substantially related to or prepared in connection with the Contemplated Transactions and the rights and obligations of MLB under this Agreement, (ii) as soon as reasonably practicable after they become available, and in no event later than thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar month ending after the date of this Agreement (A) consolidated financial statements (including balance sheets, statements of operations and stockholders’ equity) of MLB prepared in accordance with current accounting practices, (B) internal management reports showing actual financial performance against plan, and (C) to the extent permitted by applicable Law, any other reports provided to the MLB Board or any committee thereof relating to the financial performance and risk management, (iii) as soon as available, all letters and communications sent by MLB to MLB’s shareholders and all reports filed by MLB with the DBO and FDIC and any other Governmental Entity, and (iv) such other reports, financial data, and loan reports as OVB may reasonably request relating to MLB.

5.9 Certain Loans and Other Extensions of Credit by MLB. During the Pre-Closing Period:

(a) MLB will furnish to OVB as soon as reasonably practical, and in any event not later than three (3) Business Days after receipt of the amounts and categories of any loans, leases or other extensions of credit that have been classified by any Governmental Entity or by any internal or external loan reviewer of MLB “Substandard,” “Doubtful,” “Loss” or any comparable classification, providing with respect to each such credit the aggregate dollar amount, the classification category, and credit type.

(b) MLB will furnish to OVB, as soon as reasonably practicable, and in any event not later than twenty (20) days after the end of each month, schedules including a listing of (i) Loans charged off during the previous month showing the credit type with respect to each such Loan, (ii) Loans subject to write down or change to risk rating during the previous month, including, with respect to each Loan, the original amount, the write-off amount, and credit type, (iii) other real estate or assets owned, and (iv) a reconciliation of the ALLL, identifying specifically the amount and sources of all additions and reductions to the ALLL (which may be by reference to specific portions of another schedule furnished pursuant to this Section 5.9 and, in the case of unallocated adjustments, shall disclose the methodology and calculations through which the amount of such adjustment was determined). MLB will promptly provide to OVB (and not later than five (5) Business Days after delivery) reports and other documents provided to the Loan Committee of MLB Board.

5.10 Supplemental Disclosure Schedules. During the Pre-Closing Period, MLB and OVB will promptly supplement or amend the OVB Disclosure Schedule and the MLB Disclosure Schedule, as applicable, to reflect any matter which, if existing, occurring or known at the date of this Agreement, would have been required to be set forth or described in such disclosure schedule or which is necessary to correct any information in such disclosure schedule which has been rendered inaccurate thereby. No supplement or amendment to such disclosure schedule shall have any effect for the purpose of determining satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 6.2(a) or Section 6.2(b) (in the case of OVB) or Section 6.3(a) or Section 6.3(b) (in the case of MLB) or otherwise affect the respective rights, obligations, representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the parties or the conditions to the obligations of the parties under this Agreement.

5.11 Employees; Benefit Plans.

(a) OVB and OVCB shall have the right but not the obligation to offer employment which would commence immediately following the Effective Time to any and all individuals who are MLB employees immediately before the Effective Time (employees of MLB who will be employed by OVB or OVCB are referred to as “Continuing Employees”). MLB will provide OVB with information regarding such individuals’ current employment arrangements with MLB and will otherwise assist OVB and OVCB in making such offers. Subject to the provisions of this Section 5.11, as soon as administratively practicable after the Effective Time, OVB shall take all reasonable action so that Continuing Employees shall be entitled to participate in each employee benefit plan, program or arrangement of OVB and OVCB of general applicability (individually, an “OVB Benefit Plan,” and collectively, the “OVB Benefit Plans”) to the same extent as similarly situated employees of OVB and OVCB (it being understood that inclusion of Continuing Employees in OVB Benefit Plans may occur at different times with respect to different plans), provided, however, that coverage shall be continued under corresponding benefit plans of MLB (to the extent such MLB plans have not been terminated) until such employees are permitted to participate in the OVB Benefit Plans. Accordingly, OVB and OVCB shall use reasonable efforts to ensure that from the Closing Date through the next open enrollment date for OVB Benefit Plans which provide coverages for group health, dental, and vision, Continuing Employees shall continue to be covered by MLB’s Employee Plans which provide coverages for group health, dental, and vision.

(b) To the extent that a Continuing Employee becomes eligible to participate in OVB Benefit Plans, OVB and OVCB, as applicable, shall cause such OVB Benefit Plans to recognize the service of such Continuing Employee with MLB for purposes of eligibility, participation, vesting and benefit accrual under such OVB Benefit Plans, to the same extent that such service was recognized immediately prior to the Effective Time under corresponding MLB Employee Plans in which such Continuing Employee was eligible to participate immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that such recognition of service shall not (i) operate to duplicate any benefits of a Continuing Employee with respect to the same period of service, (ii) apply for purposes of any retiree medical plans, (iii) apply for purposes of the OVB Equity Plans, or (iv) apply for purposes of any plan, program or arrangement (A) under which similarly situated employees of OVB and OVCB do not receive credit for prior service or (B) that is grandfathered or frozen, either with respect to level of benefits or participation.

(c) If any Continuing Employee becomes eligible to participate in any OVB Benefit Plan that provides medical, hospitalization or dental benefits, OVB or OVCB, as applicable, shall request from the appropriate sponsor or provider that (i) any pre-existing condition limitations or eligibility waiting periods under such OVB Benefit Plan be waived with respect to such Continuing Employee and such Continuing Employees’ covered dependents to the extent such limitation would have been waived or satisfied under a MLB Employee Plan in which such Continuing Employee participated immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (ii) recognize any health expenses incurred by such Continuing Employee and such Continuing Employee’s covered dependents in the year that includes the Closing Date (or, if later, the year in which such Continuing Employee is first eligible to participate) for purposes of any applicable deductible and annual out-of-pocket expense requirements under any such OVB Benefit Plan.

(d) OVB, in its sole discretion, may elect to terminate the MLB 401(k) Plan or to discontinue contributions to the MLB 401(k) Plan anytime following the Effective Time, or to require MLB to terminate the MLB 401(k) Plan (by resolutions adopted by the MLB Board reasonably acceptable to OVB) to be effective at least one (1) day prior to the Effective Time, or to merge the MLB 401(k) Plan with and into the OVB 401(k) Plan after the Effective Time. In no event shall the MLB 401(k) Plan be merged with and into the OVB 401(k) Plan, unless OVB determines in its reasonable judgment that (i) the MLB 401(k) Plan is a qualified plan under Section 401(k) of the Code, both as to the form of MLB 401(k) Plan and as to its operation, and (ii) there are no facts in existence that would be reasonably likely to adversely affect the qualified status of the MLB 401(k) Plan. If OVB determines in its sole discretion not to merge the MLB 401(k) Plan into the OVB 401(k) Plan and that the MLB 401(k) Plan should be terminated prior to the Effective Time, MLB agrees to take all action necessary to have the MLB 401(k) Plan terminated at least one (1) day prior to the Effective Time.

(e) Following the date of this Agreement (but not later than thirty (30) days from the date of this Agreement), MLB and OVB shall mutually develop a retention plan providing for the payment of retention bonuses to key employees of MLB (other than any employee who is party to an employment agreement with MLB) who continue to be employees of MLB through immediately prior to the Effective Time upon the general terms set forth in Schedule 5.11(e). Retention bonuses, if earned, shall be paid without regard to whether a key employee is offered employment following the Effective Time with OVB or OVCB.

(f) After the Effective Time, and subject to this Agreement, OVB and OVCB will provide a severance benefit payment to each individual (1) who is employed by MLB at the Effective Time (except for any employee who is a party to any written agreement relating to severance which agreement has been provided to OVB) and whose employment is terminated involuntarily other than for “Cause” (as defined below) by OVB or OVCB as of the Closing, or (2) who is employed by MLB immediately before the Closing and is offered employment by OVB or OVCB but declines the offer within thirty (30) days of the Closing, or (3) who is a Continuing Employee whose employment is terminated other than for “Cause” (as defined below) by OVB or OVCB within twelve (12) months after the Effective Time. The severance benefit shall consist of a lump sum payment equal to such employee’s regularly scheduled base salary or base wages at the time of the Closing, for a period equal to (i) two weeks multiplied by (ii) the number of full years of continuous service completed by such employee with MLB, up to a maximum severance benefit period of thirteen (13) weeks, and shall be subject to applicable tax withholding. For purposes of this Section 5.11(f), “Cause” shall mean the employee’s personal dishonesty or misconduct, breach of fiduciary duty involving personal profit, failure to comply with any legal directive of OVB or OVCB, as applicable, failure to perform required duties, the violation of any Law (other than traffic violations or similar minor offenses that do not harm the reputation of OVB or OVCB) or the employee’s failure to enter into the Non-Solicitation and Confidentiality Agreement as of the Closing. After the Effective Time, and subject to this Agreement, OVB and OVCB will honor and perform the obligations of MLB under any written agreement (previously provided to OVB) relating to employment or severance with MLB.

(g) Without limiting the generality of Section 8.9, the provisions of this Section 5.11 are solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement, and no current or former employee or any other individual associated therewith shall be regarded for any purpose as a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement. In no event shall the terms of this Agreement be deemed to establish, amend or modify any MLB Employee Plan or any “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, or any other benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement maintained or sponsored by OVB, OVCB, or MLB, (ii) alter or limit the ability of OVB or OVCB to amend, modify or terminate any MLB Employee Plan or OVB Benefit Plan), employment agreement or any other benefit or employment plan, program, agreement or arrangement after the Closing Date, or (iii) confer upon any current or former employee, officer, director or consultant any right to employment or continued employment or continued service with OVB or OVCB, or constitute or create an employment agreement with any employee.

(h) MLB will not send any written notices or other written communication materials to its employees without the prior written consent of OVB with respect to matters described in this Section 5.11.

5.12 Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, OVB shall indemnify and hold harmless each individual who is now, or who has been at any time before the date of this Agreement, or who becomes before the Effective Time, an officer or director of MLB (each, an “Indemnified Individual,” and collectively, “Indemnified Individuals”) (i) against all losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses (including attorneys’ fees), liabilities or judgments or amounts that are paid in settlement (which settlement shall require the prior written consent of OVB) of or in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding, investigation or other legal proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (each, a “Claim” and collectively, “Claims”), (ii) and an Indemnified Individual who is, or is threatened to be made, a party or witness, arising out of the fact that such individual is or was a director or officer of MLB if such Claim pertains to any matter of fact arising, existing or occurring at or before the Effective Time (including the Merger and the other Contemplated Transactions), regardless of whether such Claim is asserted or claimed before or after the Effective Time, to the fullest extent permitted under MLB’s articles of incorporation and bylaws and applicable Law. OVB shall pay reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) in advance of the final disposition of any such proceeding to each Indemnified Individual to the extent permissible under applicable Law upon receipt of an undertaking to repay such advance payments if such Indemnified Individual shall be adjudicated or determined to be not entitled to indemnification under this Section 5.12.

(b) Any Indemnified Individual wishing to claim indemnification under Section 5.12(a), upon learning of any Claim, shall promptly notify OVB thereof; provided, however, that failure to so notify will not affect the obligations of OVB under Section 5.12(a) unless and to the extent that OVB is actually prejudiced as a consequence. In the event of any such Legal Action (whether arising before or after the Effective Time), (i) OVB shall have the right to assume the defense thereof and OVB shall not be liable to such Indemnified Individuals for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Individuals in connection with the defense thereof, except that if OVB elects not to assume such defense, Indemnified Individuals may retain counsel satisfactory to them, and OVB shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for Indemnified Individuals promptly as statements therefor are received; provided, however, that OVB shall be obligated pursuant to this Section 5.12(b) to pay for only one firm of counsel for all Indemnified Individuals in any jurisdiction, (ii) Indemnified Individuals will cooperate in the defense of any such Claim, and (iii) OVB shall not be liable for any settlement effected without its prior written consent; provided, further, that OVB shall not have any obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Individual when and if a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine, and such determination shall have become final, that the indemnification of such Indemnified Individual in the manner contemplated under Section 5.12(a) is prohibited by applicable Law.

(c) Each of OVB and MLB shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the individuals serving as officers and directors of MLB immediately prior to the Effective Time to be covered by a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance tail policy obtained from MLB’s current insurance carrier (the “Tail Insurance Policy”) of substantially the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions which are generally not less advantageous than MLB’s current policy with respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time that were committed by such officers and directors in their capacity as such for a period of four (4) years; provided, however, that in no event shall the cost of the Tail Insurance Policy be more than two hundred percent (200%) of the current amount expended on an annual basis by MLB for its current policy; provided, further, that if the Tail Insurance Policy cannot be obtained as provided by this Section 5.12(c), OVB shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain as much comparable insurance as is available; provided, further, that officers and directors of MLB may be required to make application and provide customary representations and warranties to an insurance carrier for the purpose of obtaining the Tail Insurance Policy.

(d) Prior to the Effective Time, MLB and OVB shall cooperate to determine the most appropriate methodology to obtain “tail” insurance coverage at such limits, mutually agreeable to the parties, for Errors and Omissions, Bankers and Blanket Bond coverage and any other insurance policies of MLB as mutually agreed.

(e) This Section 5.12 shall survive the Effective Time and is intended to benefit each Indemnified Individual (each of whom shall be entitled to enforce this Section 5.12 against OVB) and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of OVB.

5.13 Human Resources Issues.

(a) Communication with Employees. Prior to making any written or oral communications regarding the Merger to the MLB officers or employees, MLB will consult in good faith with OVB regarding the nature and content of any such communications and will include an OVB executive officer (or designee of such executive officer) in any group presentation or any formal group meeting at which the Merger is explained or discussed, under an arrangement that is mutually satisfactory to the parties. MLB agrees to work in good faith with OVB to facilitate the timely and accurate dissemination of information to employees regarding matters related to the Merger in such a manner as to cause minimal disruption of the business of MLB and of its relationships with its employees and to facilitate the transition of such relationships to OVB and OVCB. In addition, MLB shall advise OVB’s Chief Executive Officer and OVB’s Chief Financial Officer of any material informal communications to MLB officers or employees pertaining to compensation or benefit matters that are affected by the Contemplated Transactions; provided, however, that such communications must be consistent with pre-agreed to talking points prepared by MLB and OVB. MLB shall provide OVB with a copy of any intended written communication, and will consult respecting the contents of any oral communications, in order to maintain a message consistent with the pre-agreed to talking points. OVB and MLB shall cooperate in providing any such mutually agreeable communication.

(b) Training. OVB and OVCB shall have the right, but not the obligation, within thirty (30) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, to provide training to employees of MLB who will become employees of OVB or OVCB. Such training shall be at the expense of OVB and OVCB and shall be conducted during normal business hours. At the request of MLB, OVB shall compensate employees, in accordance with MLB’s customary policies and practices, for the employee’s time being trained by OVB and OVCB. MLB shall cooperate with OVB to make such employees available for such training prior to Closing.

(c) Nothing in this Section 5.13 is intended, nor shall it be construed, to confer any rights or benefits upon any Persons other than OVB, OVCB or MLB.

5.14 Transition.

(a) Commencing following the date of this Agreement, and in all cases subject to applicable Law, MLB shall cooperate with OVB and OVCB to facilitate the integration of the parties and their respective businesses. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, during the Pre-Closing Period and consistent with the performance of their day-to-day operations and the continuous operation of MLB in the ordinary course of business, MLB shall cause the employees and officers of MLB to cooperate with OVB and OVCB in performing tasks reasonably required in connection with such integration, including requesting reasonable support from its outside contractors and vendors. MLB shall cooperate with OVB and OVCB in minimizing the extent to which any Contracts will continue in effect following the Effective Time.

(b) Without limiting the generality of Section 5.14(a), MLB shall use all reasonable efforts to provide data processing, item processing and other processing support or outside contractors to assist OVB and OVCB in performing all tasks reasonably required to result in a successful conversion of the data and other files and records of MLB to the production environment of OVB and OVCB, when requested by OVB and in such a manner sufficient to ensure that a successful conversion will occur at the time (on or after the Effective Time) designated by OVB; provided, however, that if requested by OVB, MLB shall take all steps reasonably necessary to allow OVB and OVCB to convert to MLB’s existing production environment. Among other things, MLB shall (i) cooperate with OVB and OVCB to establish a mutually agreeable project plan to effectuate the conversion, (ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to have MLB’s outside contractors continue to support both the conversion effort and its on-going needs until the conversion can be established, (iii) provide, or use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from any outside contractors, all data or other files and layouts requested by OVB or OVCB for use in planning the conversion, as soon as reasonably practicable, (iv) provide reasonable access to the personnel and facilities of MLB and, with the consent of its outside contractors, its outside contractors’ personnel and facilities, to enable the conversion effort to be completed on schedule, and (v) give notice of termination, conditioned upon the completion of the transactions contemplated by this Section 5.14, of the Contracts of outside data, item and other processing contractors or other third-party vendors when directed to do so by OVB. OVB agrees that all actions taken pursuant to this Section 5.14 shall be taken in a manner intended to minimize disruption to the customary business activities of MLB.

5.15 Pre-Closing Adjustments. At or before the Closing Date, provided that all of the conditions in ARTICLE VI are satisfied or waived, MLB shall (a) make such accounting entries or adjustments as OVB shall direct as a result of its on-going review of MLB that are consistent with GAAP in order to implement its plans following the Closing or to reflect expenses and costs related to the Merger, and (b) shall, consistent with GAAP, the rules and regulations of the SEC and the rules and regulations of any bank regulatory agency and applicable Law, modify or change its loan, OREO, accrual, reserve, Tax, litigation and real estate valuation policies and practices (including loan classifications and levels of reserves) so as to be applied on a basis that is consistent with that of OVB. Unless the recording adjustments pursuant to this Section 5.15 or any other modification or changes pursuant to this Section 5.15 would otherwise be necessary to be consistent with applicable Law or with regulatory accounting principles or GAAP, no such adjustment or modification or change shall constitute or be deemed to be a breach, violation of or failure to satisfy any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement, condition or other provision of this Agreement or otherwise be considered in determining whether any such breach, violation or failure to satisfy shall have occurred, or as an admission or acknowledgement by MLB that any such adjustment or modification or change is appropriate or required or that any financial statement or information previously provided by MLB was incorrect in any respect.

5.16 Fee Schedule and Estimates. Attached to this Agreement as Schedule 5.16 is a schedule (“Fee Schedule”) that sets forth MLB’s estimate, based on information MLB is able, in the exercise of its reasonable commercial efforts, to obtain, of all (x) Professional Fees and (y) Transaction Expenses, other than Professional Fees, in each case that MLB anticipates will be incurred by it through the Effective time. At least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, MLB shall provide to OVB an updated Fee Schedule that sets forth (a) fees and expenses for all services rendered to MLB by its attorneys, accountants, investment bankers and other advisors and agents (“Advisors”) solely in connection with the Contemplated Transactions (“Professional Fees”) paid up to the date of the Fee Schedule, (b) Transaction Expenses, other than Professional Fees, paid up to the date of the Fee Schedule, and (c) an estimate, based on information MLB is able, in the exercise of its reasonable commercial efforts, to obtain, of the remaining Professional Fees and other Transaction Expenses MLB anticipates will be incurred by it through the Effective Time. MLB shall promptly advise OVB in writing if MLB anticipates such remaining Professional Fees and other Transaction Expenses to exceed the estimate provided pursuant to clause (c) immediately above. MLB shall cause final bills for all Professional Fees and Transaction Expenses indicated in clause (c) immediately above to be submitted to MLB by its Advisors at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date and, based upon such final bills, MLB shall pay all Professional Fees in full prior to the Effective Time and shall provide OVB with written evidence to such effect prior to the Effective Time. At the Closing, MLB shall deliver to OVB an updated Fee Schedule setting forth all of MLB’s Transaction Expenses as of the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Merger Consideration shall be reduced by one dollar for each dollar by which (i) the aggregate amount of Professional Fees that remain unpaid as of the Closing Date, and (ii) the aggregate amount of Transaction Expenses, whether paid or unpaid, as of the Closing Date exceeds $1,130,000 (except to the extent such excess is attributable to unpaid Professional Fees deducted from the Merger Consideration under clause (i) immediately above).

5.17 Closing Financial Statements. At least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, MLB shall deliver the unaudited balance sheet of MLB in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to OVB, as of the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month ended immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “Closing Balance Sheet Date”) and MLB’s unaudited consolidated statement of income for the period January 1, 2015 through the close of business on the Closing Balance Sheet Date (the “Closing Financial Statements”); provided, however, that if the Closing Date has been scheduled to occur on or before the fifth (5th) Business Day of a calendar month, MLB shall have provided such Closing Financial Statements as of and through the end of the second month immediately preceding the Closing Date and, in that event, the Closing Balance Sheet Date, shall be the last day of such second month immediately preceding the Closing Date and the related statement of income will be for the period from January 1, 2015 to the Closing Balance Sheet Date.

(h) by MLB if, prior to the receipt of the Requisite MLB Vote, MLB (i) has complied with Section 5.4 and Section 5.6 and is not otherwise in material breach of this Agreement, (ii) receives an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal from any Person that is not withdrawn, and a majority of the entire MLB Board determines in good faith (after consultation with the MLB Advisor and MLB’s outside legal counsel), that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and, after consultation with MLB’s outside legal counsel, that failure of the MLB Board to accept the Acquisition Proposal would be or would be reasonably likely to result in a violation of the MLB Board’s fiduciary duties to the shareholders of MLB under applicable Law, (iii) pays or causes the payment to OVB of a Termination Fee pursuant to Section 7.3(b) below, and (iv) simultaneously or substantially simultaneously with such termination, MLB enters into a definitive acquisition, merger or similar agreement to effect the Superior Proposal; provided, however, that (A) MLB provides OVB prior written notice at least five (5) Business Days (or such longer period as it may be extended upon modification or amendment of the Acquisition Proposal as contemplated below) prior to taking such action, which written notice shall state that MLB Board has received a Superior Proposal and, absent any revision to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the MLB Board has resolved to effect a termination of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 7.1(h) and includes in the written notice provided to OVB the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal (including copies of the proposed documents and agreements to effect the Superior Proposal) and the identity of the Person making such Superior Proposal, (B) during such five (5) Business Day period (as it may be extended upon modification or amendment of the Acquisition Proposal as contemplated below), MLB negotiates in good faith (including by making its Representatives reasonably available to negotiate) with OVB (to the extent OVB wishes to negotiate) to enable OVB to make an offer that is at least as favorable to the shareholders of MLB so that such Acquisition Proposal would cease to constitute a Superior Proposal (“Revised OVB Proposal”), (C) at the end of such five (5) Business Day period (as it may be extended upon modification or amendment of the Acquisition Proposal as contemplated below, or such earlier time that OVB advises MLB in writing that OVB no longer wishes to negotiate to amend this Agreement), a majority of the entire MLB Board, after taking into account the Revised MLB Proposal continues to believe (after consultation with the MLB Advisor and MLB’s outside legal counsel) that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and, after consultation with MLB’s outside legal counsel, that failure to accept the Acquisition Proposal would or would be reasonably likely to result in a violation of its fiduciary duties to the shareholders of MLB under applicable Law; provided, further that in the event of any revisions to the terms of an Acquisition Proposal that are material to such Acquisition Proposal after the start of the five (5) Business Day period referenced in clause (iv)(A) above, such revisions shall be deemed a new Acquisition Proposal and MLB shall be required to deliver a new written notice as required by clause (iv)(A) above to OVB and to comply with the requirements of this Section 7.1(h) with respect to such new Acquisition Proposal, except, that the notice period of clause (iv)(A) above shall be reduced to three (3) Business Days; or

(i) by OVB if an event shall have occurred or circumstance arisen that, individually or taken together with all other facts, circumstances or events, has had or would reasonably be expected to have a MLB Material Adverse Effect.

Any termination pursuant to this Section 7.1 (other than pursuant to Section 7.1(a)) shall be effected by written notice from the terminating party to the other party.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.1 or any other provisions of this Agreement, neither OVB nor OVCB shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement if the right to terminate arises directly as a result of actions taken or omitted to be taken by MLB with the prior written consent, waiver or direction by OVB or OVCB, and no such actions taken or omitted to be taken by MLB consistent with such prior written consent, waiver or direction shall constitute a breach of any provisions, representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or obligations of MLB under this Agreement.

7.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of the termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 7.1, this Agreement shall be of no further force or effect; provided, however, that (a) Section 5.3(b), this Section 7.2, Section 7.3, and ARTICLE VIII shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall remain in full force and effect, and (b) the termination of this Agreement shall not relieve any party from any liability for fraud, or any willful material inaccuracy in or willful material breach of any representation, or any willful material breach of any warranty, covenant, or other provision contained in this Agreement.

7.3 Expenses; Termination Fee.

(a) Except as provided otherwise in this Section 7.3 and Section 5.18, all Transaction Expenses shall be paid by MLB, whether or not the Merger is consummated.

(b) MLB, OVB and OVCB agree that a Termination Fee required to be paid to OVB as provided in Section 7.3(c) below shall be deemed to be liquidated damages for expenses incurred and the lost opportunity cost for time devoted to the Contemplated Transactions under this Agreement and shall be the sole remedy of OVB, except for any liabilities or damages arising out of fraud, or willful and material breach of any provisions of this Agreement, in the event the Agreement is terminated under the following circumstances:

(i) by OVB pursuant to Section 7.1(e);

(ii) by MLB pursuant to Section 7.1(h); or

(iii) by OVB pursuant to Section 7.1(b), Section 7.1(f), or Section 7.1(i)

(c) A Termination Fee shall be paid by MLB to OVB in immediately available funds pursuant to Section 7.3(b)(i) or Section 7.3(b)(iii), within five (5) Business Days after termination of this Agreement. MLB, OVB and OVCB agree that no more than one Termination Fee shall be paid to OVB and OVCB pursuant to this Section 7.3(c) or otherwise under this Agreement.

(d) The parties acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section 7.3 are an integral part of the Contemplated Transactions and that, without these agreements, the parties would not enter into this Agreement.

(e) If MLB shall fail to pay when due any Termination Fee payable under this Section 7.3, then (i) MLB shall reimburse all costs and expenses (including fees of counsel) incurred in connection with the enforcement by OVB of its right to payment under this Section 7.3, along with (ii) interest on such overdue amount (for the period commencing as of the date such overdue amount was originally required to be paid and ending on the date such overdue amount is actually paid in full to OVB at a rate per annum equal to 3% over the “prime rate” (as published in The Wall Street Journal) in effect on the date such overdue amount was originally required to be paid.

7.4 Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by law, MLB, on the one hand, and OVB and OVCB, on the other hand, is liable for and will defend, indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse each other party and each of their respective representatives, employees, officers, agents, directors, shareholders and Affiliates, against any and all Claims arising out of or related to any material breach by, respectively, MLB, on the one hand, and OVB and OVCB, on the other hand, of this Agreement or of any agreement relating to the Contemplated Transactions under this Agreement. Any party wishing to receive indemnification under this Section 7.4, shall promptly notify each other party of the Claims; provided, however, that failure to so notify will not affect the indemnification obligations of any other party under this Section 7.4, unless and to the extent that any other party is actually prejudiced as a consequence. In the event of any such Claims, (i) the party obligated to provide indemnification hereunder to the Indemnified Parties shall have the right to assume the defense thereof and shall not be liable to such Indemnified Parties for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Parties in connection with the defense thereof, except that if the other party elects not to assume such defense, the Indemnified Parties may retain counsel satisfactory to them, and the other party shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for the Indemnified Parties promptly as statements therefor are received; provided, however, that the other party shall be obligated pursuant to this Section 7.4 to pay for only one firm of counsel for all Indemnified Parties in any jurisdiction, (ii) Indemnified Parties will cooperate in the defense of any such Claims, and (iii) the other party shall not be liable for any settlement effected without its prior written consent; provided, further, that the other party shall not have any obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Party when and if a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine, and such determination shall have become final, that the indemnification of such Indemnified Party in the manner contemplated under Section 7.4 is prohibited by applicable Law.

8.3 No Survival. Subject to Section 7.2, representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in this Agreement shall terminate at the Effective Time; provided, however, that those covenants and agreements contained herein that by their terms apply, or that are to be performed in whole or part, after the Effective Time, shall survive the consummation of the Merger until fully performed.

8.4 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Confidentiality Agreement, MLB Disclosure Schedule, the OVB Disclosure Schedule, the Shareholder Agreement, the Merger Agreement, and the Non-Solicitation and Confidentiality Agreements constitute the entire agreement among the parties and supersede all other prior or contemporaneous agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among or between any of the parties with respect to the subject matter this Agreement and thereof.

(a) The Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart.

(b) The exchange of signed copies of this Agreement or of any other document contemplated by this Agreement (including any amendment or any other change thereto) by any electronic means intended to preserve the original graphic and pictorial appearance of a document shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Agreement as to the parties and may be used in lieu of an original Agreement or other document for all purposes.

Exhibit A

Form of Shareholder Agreement

Shareholder Agreement

This Shareholder Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into by and between Oak Valley Bancorp, a California corporation (“Acquirer”), and the undersigned individual signing below solely in his, her or its capacity as a shareholder (“Shareholder”) of Mother Lode Bank, a California corporation (the “Target”), effective as of the date set forth on Shareholder’s signature page hereto (the “Effective Date”). Terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement (as defined below). If the terms of this Agreement conflict in any way with the provisions of the Merger Agreement, then the provisions of the Merger Agreement shall control.

Recitals

A. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Shareholder is a material inducement to the willingness of Acquirer and Subsidiary (as defined below) to enter into that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 26, 2015 (as it may be amended from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Acquirer, Oak Valley Community Bank, a California corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Acquirer (“Subsidiary”), and the Target, pursuant to which the Target will merge with and into Subsidiary with Subsidiary surviving such merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Acquirer (the “Merger”).

B. Shareholder understands and acknowledges that the Target, Subsidiary, and Acquirer are entitled to rely on (i) the truth and accuracy of Shareholder’s representations contained herein and (ii) Shareholder’s performance of the obligations set forth herein.

Agreement

Now, Therefore, in consideration of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and obligations contained herein and in the Merger Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Restrictions on Shares.

(a) Shareholder shall not, directly or indirectly, transfer (except as may be specifically required by court order or by operation of law), sell, exchange, pledge or otherwise dispose of or encumber any of the Shares (as defined in Section 3), or enter into any agreement or other arrangement relating thereto, at any time prior to the Expiration Time (as defined below). “Expiration Time” means the earliest occurrence of (A) the Effective Time, (B) the date and time of the valid termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms and (C) such date and time designated by Acquirer in a written notice to Shareholder.

(b) Except pursuant to this Agreement, Shareholder shall not, directly or indirectly, grant any proxies or powers of attorney with respect to any of the Shares, deposit any of the Shares into a voting trust, or enter into a voting agreement or similar arrangement or commitment with respect to any of the Shares.

(c) Except as otherwise provided herein, Shareholder shall not, in his, her or its capacity as a shareholder of the Target, directly or indirectly, take any action that would make any representation or warranty contained herein untrue or incorrect or that would have the effect of impairing the ability of Shareholder to perform his, her or its obligations under this Agreement or preventing or delaying the consummation of the Merger, the other Contemplated Transactions, contemplated hereby or the Requisite MLB Vote.

(d) Any Shares of MLB Common Stock or other securities of the Target that Shareholder purchases or with respect to which Shareholder otherwise acquires beneficial ownership (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) after the Effective Date and prior to the Expiration Time, including by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar transaction or pursuant to the exercise of options or warrants to purchase such shares (collectively, the “New Shares”) shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the same extent as if they comprised a portion of the Shares and shall be deemed to be included in the Shares for the purposes hereof.

2. Agreement to Vote Shares. Prior to the Expiration Time, at every meeting of the Target Shareholders called with respect to any of the following matters, and at every adjournment or postponement thereof, and on every action or approval by written consent or resolution of the shareholders of the Target with respect to any of the following matters, Shareholder shall participate and vote the Shares (i) in favor of any matter that is reasonably necessary to facilitate the consummation of the Merger and the other Contemplated Transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (ii) against any Adverse Proposal (as defined below) and (iii) against any other matter that would reasonably be expected to prevent, impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or adversely affect the Merger or any of the other Contemplated Transactions; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Shareholder from exercising full power and authority to vote the Shares in Shareholder’s sole discretion for or against any proposal submitted to a vote of the Target Shareholders to approve any payment which would, in the absence of such approval, constitute a parachute payment under Section 280G of the Code. “Adverse Proposal” means (A) any Acquisition Proposal, (B) any change in a majority of the Board of the Target other than as set forth in Schedule 2 of the Merger Agreement, (C) any material change in the capitalization of the Target or the Target’s corporate structure or in the terms of any security of the Target, or otherwise obligating the Target to grant any security, or (D) any other matter, including any amendment to the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, that would reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, delay, postpone, discourage or adversely affect the Merger or any of the Contemplated Transactions. Any such vote shall be cast (and each consent shall be given) by Shareholder in accordance with such procedures relating thereto so as to ensure that it is duly counted, including for purposes of determining that a quorum is present and for purposes of recording the results of such vote or consent.

3. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Shareholder. Shareholder hereby represents, warrants and covenants to Acquirer as follows:

(a) Shareholder is the beneficial or record owner of, or exercises voting power over, that number of shares of MLB Common Stock set forth on the signature page hereto (all such shares owned beneficially or of record by Shareholder, or over which Shareholder exercises voting power, on the Effective Date, collectively, the “Shares”). The Shares constitute Shareholder’s entire interest in the outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Target and Shareholder is not the beneficial or record holder of, and does not exercise voting power over, any other outstanding shares of capital stock of the Target. Shareholder has the sole right to vote and execute shareholder written consents, the sole power of disposition and the sole power to agree and to issue instructions with respect to all Shares and the other matters contemplated herein, with no restrictions on Shareholder’s right and powers of voting or disposition pertaining thereto. No person not a signatory to this Agreement has a beneficial interest in or a right to acquire or vote any of the Shares (other than, if Shareholder is a partnership or a limited liability company, the rights and interest of persons and entities that own partnership interests or units in Shareholder under the partnership agreement or operating agreement governing Shareholder and applicable partnership or limited liability company law, or if Shareholder is a married individual and resides in a state with community property laws, the community property interest of his or her spouse to the extent applicable under such community property laws, which spouse hereby consents to this Agreement by executing the spousal consent attached hereto). The Shares are and will be at all times up until the Expiration Time free and clear of any security interests, liens, claims, pledges, options, rights of first refusal, co-sale rights, agreements, limitations on Shareholder’s voting rights, charges and other encumbrances of any nature that, in any case, could adversely affect the Merger, the Merger Agreement, or the exercise or fulfillment of the rights and obligations of the Target, Acquirer, Subsidiary or Shareholder under this Agreement or the Merger Agreement. Shareholder’s principal residence or place of business is set forth on the signature page hereto.

(b) If Shareholder is a corporation, limited partnership or limited liability company, Shareholder is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated, organized or constituted.

(c) Shareholder has all requisite power, capacity and authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform its obligations under this Agreement and consummate the Contemplated Transactions and the other transactions contemplated hereby. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Shareholder and the consummation by Shareholder of the Contemplated Transactions and the other transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary action, if any, on the part of Shareholder (or its board of directors or similar governing body, as applicable), and no other actions or proceedings on the part of Shareholder are necessary to authorize the execution and delivery by Shareholder of this Agreement and the consummation by Shareholder of the Contemplated Transactions and the other transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Shareholder and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by Acquirer, constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Shareholder, enforceable against Shareholder in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally and to general principles of equity.

(d) The execution and delivery of this Agreement does not, and the performance by Shareholder of its agreements and obligations hereunder will not, conflict in any material respect with, result in a material breach or violation of or material default under (with or without notice or lapse of time or both), or require notice to or the consent of any person under, any provisions of the organizational documents of Shareholder (if applicable), or any agreement, commitment, law, rule, regulation, judgment, order or decree to which Shareholder is a party or by which Shareholder is, or any of its assets are, bound, except for such conflicts, breaches, violations or defaults that would not, individually or in the aggregate, prevent or delay consummation of the Merger and the Contemplated Transactions or otherwise prevent or materially delay Shareholder from performing his, her or its obligations under this Agreement.

(e) Shareholder acknowledges that Shareholder has received a copy of the Merger Agreement and familiarized itself with the terms and conditions contained therein. Until the Expiration Time, Shareholder (in his, her, or its sole capacity as a shareholder) shall not take directly or indirectly any action prohibited by Section 5.4 of the Merger Agreement. In the event Shareholder shall receive or become aware of any Acquisition Proposal following the Effective Date, Shareholder shall promptly inform Acquirer as to any such matter and the details thereof.

(f) Shareholder hereby agrees that, if he, she or it executed a written consent providing for Shareholder’s approval of the Merger, Shareholder shall not revoke or rescind such written consent or any resolution contained therein and further agrees not to adopt any resolutions rescinding or revoking such written consent or any resolution contained therein or otherwise precluding the adoption of the Merger Agreement at any time prior to the Expiration Time. Shareholder agrees that, except as may be required by applicable law, by order of a court having competent jurisdiction, or by a Governmental Entity, it will not bring, commence, institute, maintain, prosecute, participate in or voluntarily aid any Legal Action, in any court or before any Governmental Entity, that challenges the validity of or seeks to enjoin the operation of such written consent or this Agreement or the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the Merger and the other Contemplated Transactions.

(g) Except as provided in the Merger Agreement, no broker, finder, financial advisor, investment banker or similar Person (including Shareholder) is entitled to any brokerage, finder’s, financial advisor’s or other similar fee or commission from the Target or Shareholder in connection with the origin, negotiation or execution of the Merger Agreement or in connection with the Transactions.

(h) Shareholder has had an opportunity to review with his, her or its own tax advisors the tax consequences of the Merger and the other Contemplated Transactions. Shareholder understands that he, she or it must rely solely on its advisors and not on any statements or representations made by Acquirer, the Target or any of their agents or representatives. Shareholder understands that Shareholder (and not Acquirer, the Target or the Surviving Corporation) shall be responsible for Shareholder’s tax liability that may arise as a result of the Merger or the other Contemplated Transactions.

4. Release and Waiver; Consent; Termination of Existing Agreements. Shareholder’s share of the Merger Consideration represents the only consideration to be received by Shareholder in exchange for the MLB Common Stock owned by Shareholder. In exchange for such consideration and as a condition and inducement to the Acquirer’s, Subsidiary’s and the Target’s willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement, Shareholder, for himself, herself or itself and on behalf of his, her or its heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Relevant Persons”), hereby irrevocably, unconditionally and forever acquits, releases, waives and discharges Acquirer, Subsidiary and the Target, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, divisions, affiliated corporations, subsidiaries, Affiliates, managers, affiliated non-corporation entities, representatives, successors, predecessors and assigns (individually and collectively, the “Released Parties”) from any and all past, present and future debts, losses, costs, accounts, reckonings, bills, sums of money, bonds, suits, actions, causes of action, liabilities, contributions, attorneys’ fees, interest, damages, punitive damages, expenses, controversies, covenants, contracts, promises, judgments, liabilities, claims, potential claims, counterclaims, cross-claims, or demands, in law or in equity, asserted or unasserted, express or implied, known or unknown, matured or unmatured, contingent or vested, liquidated or unliquidated, of any kind or nature or description whatsoever, that any of the Relevant Persons had, presently has or may hereafter have or claim or assert to have against any of the Released Parties by reason of any act, omission, transaction, occurrence, conduct, circumstance, condition, harm, matter, cause or thing that has occurred or existed prior to and including the Effective Time, that in any way arise from or out of, are based upon or relate to (i) such Relevant Person’s or Relevant Persons’, as applicable, ownership or purported ownership of the Shares or other securities of the Target, or (ii) the negotiation or execution of this Agreement, the Merger Agreement, or any of the other documents referenced in the Merger Agreement or the consummation of any of the other Contemplated Transactions or transactions contemplated hereby, except for such Relevant Person’s or Relevant Persons’, as applicable, rights under the Merger Agreement and each agreement attached as an exhibit thereto or entered into in connection therewith (after taking into account such exceptions, the “Shareholder Claims”). The release is intended to be complete, global and all encompassing and specifically includes claims that are known, unknown, fixed, contingent or conditional with respect to the matters described herein. With respect to the Shareholder Claims, Shareholder hereby expressly waives any and all rights conferred upon him, her or it by any statute or rule of law that provides that a release does not extend to claims that the claimant does not know or suspect to exist in his, her or its favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him, her or it must have materially affected his, her or its settlement with the released party, including the following provisions of California Civil Code Section 1542 to the extent applicable to Shareholder: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his OR HER settlement with the debtor.” For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this paragraph will be deemed to constitute a release by any Shareholder of any right of such Shareholder to (x) if Shareholder is a current or former employee of or service provider to the Target, salary, cash bonuses or any other compensation, reimbursable expenses or other employment benefits earned or accrued by or for the benefit of such Shareholder prior to the Closing in respect of services performed by such Shareholder as an employee of or service provider to the Target, solely to the extent not paid by the Target prior to the Closing or (y) if Shareholder is a current or former officer or director of the Target or any of its Subsidiaries, indemnification asserted in writing by an officer or director of the Target against the Target, whether under the Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws or under a written indemnification agreement entered into by the Target and such officer or director prior to the date of the Merger Agreement, and disclosed to Acquirer in the Target Disclosure Schedule, with respect to a lawsuit that: (I) was commenced against such officer or director by a third party and (II) seeks to impose monetary liability on such officer or director by virtue of an act or omission committed prior to the date of this Agreement by such officer or director in his or her capacity as an officer or director of the Target.

Shareholder hereby gives any consents or waivers that are reasonably required for the consummation of the Merger and the other Contemplated Transactions under the terms of any agreement or instrument to which Shareholder is a party or subject or in respect of any rights Shareholder may have in connection with the Merger or the other Contemplated Transactions (whether such rights exist under the Articles of Incorporation or the Bylaws, any contract to which the Target is a party or by which it is, or any of its assets are, bound under statutory or common law or otherwise). Without limiting the generality or effect of the foregoing, Shareholder hereby waives any and all rights to contest or object to the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, the Board’s actions in approving and recommending the Merger, the consummation of the Merger and the other Contemplated Transactions, or to the execution and delivery of one or more written consents, including the granting of the Requisite Shareholder Approval therein, or to seek damages or other legal or equitable relief in connection therewith. Except for the indemnification agreement entered into between the Target and the Shareholder, any and all agreements existing immediately prior to the Effective Time between the Target and Shareholder, stock purchase agreement, carve-out bonus plans, equity incentive plans, shareholders agreements, and any of the agreements shall, contingent upon the occurrence of the Closing, automatically terminate and be of no force and effect effective immediately prior to the Effective Time, and Shareholder hereby agrees to the waiver of any rights of first refusal, preemptive rights, rights to notice, rights of co-sale, registration rights, information rights and similar rights of Shareholder under any such agreements or otherwise. Other than as specifically set forth in the Merger Agreement and this Agreement, (a) as of and subject to the Closing, Shareholder, in its capacity as a Target Shareholder, will not be entitled to any indemnity, reimbursement or other similar rights from Acquirer, the Target or the Subsidiary, including by virtue of Shareholder’s investment in the Target or any other contract, and (b) no obligation, liability or other circumstances shall exist at the Effective Time that give or may give rise to any liability of Acquirer, the Target or the Subsidiary to Shareholder. From and after the Effective Time, Shareholder’s right to receive consideration on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement shall constitute Shareholder’s sole and exclusive right against the Target and/or Acquirer or the Subsidiary in respect of Shareholder’s ownership of the Shares or status as a Target Shareholder or any agreement or instrument with the Target pertaining to the Shares or Shareholder’s status as a Target Shareholder.

7. Dissenters’ Rights; Appraisal Rights. Shareholder agrees not to exercise any rights of appraisal or any dissenters’ rights that Shareholder may have (whether under applicable law or otherwise) or could potentially have or acquire in connection with the Merger.

Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party shall be deemed cumulative (but without duplication) with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.

8.8 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California without reference to such state’s principles of conflicts of law. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of California and the Federal courts of the United States of America located within the State of California, in respect of the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement and of the documents referred to in this Agreement, and in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby, and hereby waive, and agree not to assert, as a defense in any action, suit or proceeding for the interpretation or enforcement hereof or thereof, that it is not subject thereto or that such action, suit or proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in said courts or that the venue thereof may not be appropriate or that this Agreement or any such document may not be enforced in or by such courts, and the parties hereto irrevocably agree that all claims with respect to such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in such a California State or Federal court.

8.10 Amendment. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by each of the parties hereto, or in the case of a waiver, by the party against which the waiver is to be effective. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by any party hereto in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right hereunder.

8.11 Rules of Construction. The parties hereto agree that they have been (or have had the opportunity to be) represented by counsel during the negotiation, preparation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of any law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document shall be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document.

Exhibit B

Form of Non-Solicitation and Confidentiality Agreement

Non-Solicitation and Confidentiality Agreement

This Non-Solicitation and Confidentiality Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated August 26, 2015, is made by and between [Name] (the “Principal”) and Oak Valley Bancorp., a California corporation (including any successor in interest, the “Company”). Oak Valley Community Bank is also intended as a beneficiary of this Agreement.

Recitals

A. The Company and Mother Lode Bank are parties to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated on or about August 26, 2015 (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company will acquire Mother Lode Bank (“MLB”) (the “Merger”). Capitalized terms used, but not defined herein, shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Merger Agreement.

B. Principal understands and agrees, as a beneficial owner of MLB equity and/or as a key and significant member of the Board of Directors or management of MLB, that Principal has obtained extensive and valuable knowledge, expertise and confidential information concerning the Business (as defined below).

C. This Agreement is necessary to protect the Company’s legitimate interests as a buyer of the stock and goodwill of MLB. Principal understands and acknowledges that the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Principal is a material inducement to the willingness of the Company to enter into the Merger Agreement and a material condition to the Company consummating the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and for the purpose of protecting the Company’s legitimate interests as a buyer of MLB and of protecting the Company’s confidential information.

Agreement

Now, Therefore, in consideration of the foregoing premises and for good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, Principal, intending to be legally bound, agrees as follows:

1. Agreement Not to Solicit. Principal agrees that during the Non-Solicitation Period (as defined below), Principal will not, whether as an employee, agent, consultant, advisor, independent contractor, general partner, officer, director, stockholder, investor, lender or guarantor of any bank, financial institution, credit union, lender, mortgage company, corporation, partnership or other entity, or in any other capacity, directly or indirectly for herself/himself or on behalf of any other Person (other than the Company or Oak Valley Community Bank) without the prior written consent of the Company:

(a) interfere with the relationship between, on the one hand, the Company or Oak Valley Community Bank, and on the other hand, the Company’s or Oak Valley Community Bank’s employees, consultants, contractors or customers, by encouraging, inducing, soliciting or attempting to solicit any such employee or consultant, contractor or customer to terminate his or her employment or end his or her relationship with the Company or with Oak Valley Community Bank;

(b) solicit or attempt to solicit for employment or engagement on behalf of Principal or any other Person, any Person who is or was an employee or consultant, contractor or customer of the Company or Oak Valley Community Bank; or

provided, however, that the restrictions in this Section 1 shall not apply to general solicitations not specifically directed to any employee or consultant, contractor or customer of the Company or Oak Valley Community Bank.

For purposes of this Agreement, the “Non-Solicitation Period” shall commence on the Closing Date and end two (2) years after the Closing Date (the “Non-Solicitation Period”); provided, however, that in the event that it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or an arbitrator, as the case may be, that Principal has breached any provision of this Section 1, then, in addition to any remedies set forth in Section 4 or Section 5 below and available under applicable law, the Non-Solicitation Period shall be automatically extended by a number of days equal to the total number of days in the period from the date on which such breach shall have first occurred through the date as of which such breach shall have been fully cured.

2. Agreement Not to Disparage. During the Non-Solicitation Period, Principal agrees that Principal will not directly or indirectly for himself or on behalf of any other Person libel, slander or disparage the Company or Oak Valley Community Bank in any manner that is or may be harmful to the business or business reputation of the Company or Oak Valley Community Bank or to the personal reputation of any of the Company’s or Oak Valley Community Bank’s directors, officers, employees, consultants, contractors or customers.

3. Confidentiality Agreement.

(a) Definition. "Confidential Information" means all information that is not generally known to the public that relates to the Business and in which Principal or any Affiliate or Principal, or other Person (to the extent such party owes a duty of confidentiality to Principal or such Affiliate) has rights, including, without limitation, financial statements, customer lists and information, information regarding business planning, operations, organization, administrative, financial or marketing activities, management know-how and techniques, series of instructions or statements comprising computer programs, system designs, modular program structures, system logic flows, file contents, video and report formats, coding techniques and routines, and file handling and special routines that are not generally known to the public. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information does not include information that:

(i) is, as of the time of its disclosure, or thereafter becomes, part of the public domain through a source other than the receiving party;

(ii) was known to the receiving party as of the time of its disclosure;

(iii) is independently developed by the receiving party without reference to the Confidential Information; or

(iv) is subsequently learned from a third party not subject to an obligation of confidentiality with respect to the information disclosed.

(b) Restrictions. Principal agrees that, with respect to any Confidential Information, Principal shall:

(i) maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information;

(ii) use such Confidential Information only in the performance of his or her obligations under this Agreement or the Merger Agreement or any agreements contemplated thereunder or for the benefit of the Company or Oak Valley Community Bank if employed by or serving on the Board(s) of the Company or Oak Valley Community Bank; and

(iii) return such Confidential Information and any copies, extracts or summaries thereof (whether prepared by the receiving party or otherwise, and regardless of whether in hard copy, computer memory, electronic media or otherwise) to the Company and to Oak Valley Community Bank upon their request or the expiration or termination of this Agreement, or, upon the request of the Company or Oak Valley Community Bank, destroy the same and provide them with a written certification of such destruction.

(c) Exceptions. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit the ability of a party in possession of the Confidential Information of the other to disclose such Confidential Information, and such party shall have no liability for such disclosure, if such disclosure is (i) required to be made pursuant to law or regulation, government authority, duly authorized subpoena or court order; (ii) required to be made to a court or other tribunal in connection with the enforcement of such party's rights under this Agreement; or (iii) is approved by the prior written consent of the CEO or the CFO of the Company or Oak Valley Community Bank.

(d) Breach. Each party recognizes and acknowledges that in the event of any breach of this Section 3 (either actual or threatened), the remedies at law shall be inadequate. Each party agrees that in such event, the Company or Oak Valley Community Bank shall have the right to seek specific performance or injunctive relief, or both, in addition to any and all other remedies and rights at law or in equity, and such rights and remedies shall be cumulative.

(e) Survival of Restrictions. The terms of this Section 3 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement and will continue in full force and effect for the two (2) -year period set forth in Section 1.

4. Acknowledgment. Principal hereby acknowledges and agrees that:

(a) this Agreement is necessary for the protection of the legitimate business interests of the Company in consummating the Merger;

(b) the execution and delivery and continuation in force of this Agreement is a material inducement to the Company to execute the Merger Agreement and is a mandatory condition precedent to the closing of the Merger, without which the Company would not close the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement;

(d) Principal has no current intention of violating any of the restrictive covenants set forth in this Agreement;

(e) Principal represents and warrants that neither the execution and delivery nor the performance of this Agreement will result directly or indirectly in a violation or breach of any agreement or obligation by which Principal is or may be bound, the violation of which would materially impair Principal’s ability to perform Principal’s obligations under this Agreement;

(f) breach of this Agreement will be such that neither the Company, nor the Company will have an adequate remedy at law because of the unique nature of the operations and the assets being conveyed to the Company; and

(g) execution of this Agreement shall not limit any other agreements between Principal and the Company or Oak Valley Community Bank.

5. Condition Precedent. Principal acknowledges and agrees that his or her strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement is a condition precedent to his or her receipt of any consideration pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. Principal further acknowledges and agrees that in the event of any breach of his or her obligations under this Agreement, the Company shall, in its sole and absolute discretion, be entitled to all remedies for breach permitted under the Merger Agreement.

6. Remedy. Principal acknowledges and agrees that (a) the rights of the Company under this Agreement are of a specialized and unique character and that immediate and irreparable damage will result to the Company if Principal fails to or refuses to perform his or her obligations under this Agreement and (b) the Company shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedies and damages available, to obtain injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to restrain any such failure or refusal without posting bond or other security, and without the necessity of proving actual damages. No single exercise of the foregoing remedies shall be deemed to exhaust the Company’s right to such remedies, but the right to such remedies shall continue undiminished and may be exercised from time to time as often as the Company may elect.

7. Severability. If any provisions of this Agreement as applied to any part or to any circumstances shall be adjudged by a court to be invalid or unenforceable, the same shall in no way affect any other provision of this Agreement, the application of such provision in any other circumstances, or the validity or enforceability of this Agreement. The Company and Principal intend this Agreement to be enforced as written. If any provision, or part thereof, however, is held to be unenforceable because of the duration thereof or the area covered thereby, all parties agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to reduce the duration and/or area of such provision, and/or to delete specific words or phrases and in its reduced form such provision shall then be enforceable.

8. Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by the Company’s duly authorized representative, and Principal.

9. Waiver. No waiver of any nature, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a further or continued waiver of any breach of any other term or agreement contained in this Agreement.

10. Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

11. Governing Law.

(a) This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted and its performance shall be governed by the laws of the state of California without regard to conflicts of law principles of any jurisdiction.

(b) The parties hereto agree that any proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be brought in any federal court located in San Francisco County in the State of California or any California state court located in San Francisco County, and each of the parties hereby irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding in any such court or that any such proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Process in any such proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court.

12. Attorneys’ Fees. In the event that either party engages the other party in litigation concerning the enforcement of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to payment by the non-prevailing party of reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, which are incurred in connection therewith.

13. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, between the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement (but does not in any way merge or supersede the Merger Agreement or any other agreement executed in connection with the Merger Agreement).

WHEREAS, the Optionee identified on the signature page to this Agreement has been identified on Exhibit B to the Merger Agreement as being required to enter into an In-the-Money Option Holder Agreement in exchange for the payment of Option Consideration.

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

After having carefully considered this Agreement, the Plan, the Stock Option Agreement(s), the Merger Agreement and the [Proxy Statement], Optionee consents to the cancellation of the Options on the terms set forth above and agrees to be bound by and comply with each of the provisions of this Agreement. Optionee acknowledges that the Option Consideration amounts set forth on Annex I are good faith estimates of the amount payable under this Agreement, and that the amount of cash constituting the Option Consideration remains subject to and will be finally determined based upon the terms of the Merger Agreement, which may be less than the amount set forth on Annex I. Further, Optionee represents and warrants that (i) Optionee is the sole owner of the Options, (ii) Optionee has not assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of any or all of his or her interest in the Options (or the stock covered thereby), any proceeds Optionee might receive on the exercise of the Options (or any sale of the stock covered thereby) and any right to the Option Consideration set forth in this Agreement, (iii) Annex I correctly and completely sets forth all options or other rights to acquire stock that Optionee holds and such Options have not been exercised, (iv) Optionee has full power and authority and no other consent or approval is required with respect to Optionee’s decision to agree to the cancellation of the Options and (v) Optionee is not a party to any subscription, option, warrant, right, security or any other commitment or agreement obligating the Company to issue, deliver, sell, repurchase or redeem any shares of Company capital stock or other securities of the Company.

This release includes but is not limited to any Claims for tort, breach of contract, or otherwise.

Optionee assumes this risk and understands that this release shall apply to any such losses and claims. Optionee acknowledges and agrees that, by accepting the benefits and payments set forth in this Agreement, Optionee assumes and waives the risk that the facts and the law may be other than as Optionee believes, but it is Optionee’s intention to release all Claims Optionee has or may have against the Covered Persons, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected. Optionee agrees that Optionee will not now or in the future pursue or institute any claim, suit or action against the Company, Purchaser or any other Covered Person which is based upon, or arises out of, any of the Claims released in this Agreement.

4. GENERAL RELEASE - CLAIMS EXTINGUISHED. Optionee acknowledges that Optionee is familiar with, and hereby expressly waives and releases all rights and benefits, if any, conferred by, Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which provides as follows:

A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.

NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING SECTION 1542 OR ANY OTHER STATUTORY OR COMMON LAW PRINCIPLE OF ANY JURISDICTION OF SIMILAR EFFECT, OPTIONEE AGREES THAT THE RELEASE CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL APPLY TO ALL UNKNOWN OR UNANTICIPATED LOSSES OR DAMAGES WHICH MAY HEREAFTER BE CLAIMED BY OPTIONEE WITH REGARD TO THE SUBJECTS ENUMERATED ABOVE, AS WELL AS ANY PRESENTLY KNOWN TO THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT.
