THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER, dated as of March 17, 2017 (this “Agreement”), is by and between Citizens Community Bancorp, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“CCBI”), and Wells Financial Corp., a Minnesota corporation (the “Company” and together with CCBI, the Constituent Corporations”).

RECITALS

A. The respective Boards of Directors of CCBI and the Company have approved and declared advisable the merger of the Company with and into CCBI, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, whereby each issued and outstanding share of common stock, $.10 par value, of the Company (“Company Common Stock”) not owned directly or indirectly by CCBI or the Company will be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration (as hereinafter defined);

B. The respective Boards of Directors of CCBI and the Company have determined that the Merger (as hereinafter defined) is in furtherance of and consistent with their respective long-term business strategies and is in the best interest of their respective stockholders and shareholders;

C. In order to induce CCBI to enter into this Agreement, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the directors and non-director executive officers of the Company are entering into agreements (the “Letter Agreements”), substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, pursuant to which, among other things, each such Person has agreed to vote in favor of this Agreement and the Merger;

D. CCBI owns all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Citizens Community Federal N.A., a national bank (“CCBI Bank”), and the Company owns all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Wells Federal Bank, a bank chartered under the laws of the State of Minnesota (the “Company Bank”); and

E. As part of the transactions contemplated hereby, the parties wish to provide for the merger of the Company Bank with and into CCBI Bank.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, representations, warranties and agreements herein contained, the parties agree as follows:

Article I
THE MERGER AND RELATED MATTERS

Section 1.1 The Merger.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the Minnesota Business Corporation Act (the “MBCA”) and the Maryland

General Corporation Law (the “MGCL”), the Company shall be merged with and into CCBI (the “Merger”) at the Effective Time (as hereinafter defined). Following the Merger, the separate corporate existence of the Company shall cease and CCBI shall continue as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”) and shall succeed to and assume all the rights and obligations of the Company in accordance with the MBCA and the MGCL.

(b) The Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement, in Section 641 of the MBCA, and Section 3-114 of the MGCL.

(c) At the Effective Time, the Articles of Incorporation of CCBI, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, (the “CCBI Articles of Incorporation”), shall be the Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable Law. At the Effective Time, the CCBI Bylaws, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein, in the Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation or by applicable Law.

(d) The directors and officers of CCBI at the Effective Time shall be the directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation, until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, as the case may be. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each then-current director of the Company shall submit to the Company his or her written resignation as a director.

Section 1.2 Bank Merger. At the Closing, CCBI Bank and the Company Bank shall enter into the Bank Agreement and Plan of Merger, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Bank Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the Bank Merger Agreement, immediately following the Effective Time of the Merger, (i) the Company Bank will be merged with and into CCBI Bank (the “Bank Merger”), (ii) the separate corporate existence of the Company Bank will cease and (iii) CCBI Bank will continue as the surviving corporation in the Bank Merger and will succeed to and assume all the rights and obligations of the Company Bank, in each case as provided in the Bank Merger Agreement.

Section 1.3 Effective Time. The Merger shall become effective when articles of merger (the “Articles of Merger”), executed in accordance with the relevant provisions of the MBCA and the MGCL, are filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Minnesota and the Department of Assessments and Taxation of the State of Maryland (the “MDAT”); provided, however, that, upon mutual consent of the Constituent Corporations, the Articles of Merger may provide for a later date of effectiveness of the Merger not more than thirty (30) days after the date the Articles of Merger are filed. When used in this Agreement, the term “Effective Time” shall mean the date and time at which the Articles of Merger are filed or such later time established by the Articles of Merger. The Articles of Merger shall be filed on the Closing Date.

Section 1.4 Conversion of Securities. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of CCBI, the Company or the holders of any securities of the Constituent Corporations:

(a) Each share of CCBI Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain issued and outstanding and shall not be affected by the Merger.

(b) All shares of Company Common Stock that are held in the treasury of the Company or owned by any wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company, by CCBI or by any wholly-owned Subsidiary of CCBI shall automatically be canceled and cease to exist, and neither the Merger Consideration nor any other consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor (the “Company Cancelled Shares”).

(c) (1) Each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than the Company Cancelled Shares and the Dissenting Shares, shall be converted, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Agreement, into the right to receive the following, without interest:

(A) $41.31 in cash (the “Cash Consideration”) for each share of Company Common Stock; and

(B) .7636 share (as such may be adjusted pursuant to the terms of this section, the “Exchange Ratio”) of CCBI Common Stock (the “Stock Consideration”) for each share of Company Common Stock, subject to the application of the following provisions:

(1) If the CCBI Closing Price is equal to or greater than $11.42 (the “Floor”) but less than $13.96 (the “Ceiling”), then no adjustment to the Exchange Ratio shall be made.

(2) If the CCBI Closing Price is less than the Floor but equal to or greater than $9.00 (the “Basement”), then the Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted to equal the Floor Stock Value divided by the CCBI Closing Price. The “Floor Stock Value” means the product of the Floor and the Exchange Ratio set forth in Section 1.4(c)(i)(B).

(3) If the CCBI Closing Price is less than the Basement, then the Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted to equal the Floor Stock Value divided by the Basement.

(4) If the CCBI Closing Price is greater than the Ceiling but equal to or less than $16.38 (the “Attic”), then the Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted to equal the Ceiling Stock Value divided by the CCBI Closing Price. The “Ceiling Stock Value” means the product of the Ceiling and the Exchange Ratio set forth in Section 1.4(c)(i)(B).

(5) If the CCBI Closing Price is greater than the Attic, then the Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted to equal the Ceiling Stock Value divided by the Attic.

(ii) All of the shares of Company Common Stock converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration and the Stock Consideration (the “Merger Consideration”) pursuant to this Article I shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and

shall cease to exist as of the Effective Time, and each certificate previously representing any such shares of Company Common Stock (each, an “Old Certificate,” it being understood that any reference herein to “Old Certificate” shall be deemed to include reference to book-entry account statements relating to the ownership of shares of Company Common Stock held in book entry form) shall thereafter represent only the right to receive (i) the Merger Consideration in accordance with, and subject to, Section 1.4(c)(i), (ii) as provided in Section 1.4(c)(iii), cash in lieu of fractional shares which the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Old Certificate have been converted into the right to receive pursuant to this Section 1.4(c)(ii), without any interest thereon and (iii) any dividends or distributions which the holder thereof has the right to receive pursuant to Section 1.6(b). Old Certificates shall be exchanged for evidence of shares in book entry form or, at CCBI’s option, certificates (collectively referred to herein as “New Certificates”), representing the Stock Consideration (together with any dividends or distributions with respect thereto and cash in lieu of fractional shares issued in consideration therefor) and the Cash Consideration upon the surrender of such Old Certificates in accordance with Section 1.6, without any interest thereon. If, prior to the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of CCBI Common Stock or Company Common Stock shall have been increased, decreased, or changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or securities, in any such case as a result of a reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, or other similar change in capitalization, or there shall be any extraordinary dividend or distribution, an appropriate and proportionate adjustment shall be made to the Merger Consideration and to the Ceiling, Basement, Floor and Attic to give holders of Company Common Stock the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, New Certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of CCBI Common Stock shall not be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Old Certificates, no dividend or distribution with respect to CCBI Common Stock shall be payable on or with respect to any such fractional share interest, and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a stockholder of CCBI. In lieu of the issuance of any such fractional share, CCBI shall pay to each former holder of Company Common Stock who otherwise would be entitled to receive a fractional share of CCBI Common Stock, an amount in cash, rounded to the nearest cent and without interest, equal to the product of (i) the fraction of a share (rounded to the nearest thousandth when expressed in decimal form) to which such holder would otherwise have been entitled to receive pursuant to Section 1.4(c)(i), and (ii) the CCBI Closing Price. As used herein, “CCBI Closing Price” shall mean the average closing price of CCBI Common Stock on the NASDAQ Global Market (“NASDAQ”) for the twenty (20) full trading days ending on the third Business Day preceding the Closing Date; provided that, only a day on which the CCBI Common Stock actually trades shall be considered a trading day. For purposes of determining any fractional share interest, all shares of Company Common Stock owned by a Company shareholder shall be combined so as to calculate the maximum number of whole shares of CCBI Common Stock issuable to such Company shareholder.

(iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each outstanding share of Company Common Stock the holder (a “Dissenting Shareholder”) of which

has (A) not voted in favor of approval of the Merger, (B) demanded and perfected such holder’s right to dissent from the Merger and to be paid the fair value of such Shares in accordance with Sections 302A.471 and 302A.473 of the MBCA and (C) as of the Effective Time, has not effectively withdrawn or lost such dissenters’ rights (the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into or represent a right to receive the Merger Consideration, and the Dissenting Shareholder shall be entitled only to such rights as are granted by the MBCA. The Company shall give CCBI prompt notice upon receipt by the Company of any notice from a Dissenting Shareholder of the exercise of dissenters’ rights and of withdrawals of such notice and any other instruments provided pursuant to applicable Law, and CCBI shall have the right to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demands. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of CCBI, voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any dissenters’ rights, or waive any failure to timely deliver a dissenters’ rights notice or the taking of any other action by a Dissenting Shareholder as may be necessary to perfect dissenters’ rights under the MBCA. Any payments made in respect of Dissenting Shares shall be made by the Surviving Corporation. If any Dissenting Shareholder shall effectively withdraw or lose (through failure to perfect or otherwise) such Dissenting Shareholder’s dissenters’ rights after the Effective Time, each share of Company Common Stock of such holder shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration without interest thereon in accordance with Section 1.4(c)(i).

(d) Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each outstanding option for Company Common Stock shall be cancelled in exchange for a cash payment equal to the excess of $51.00 over the per share exercise price of the option, multiplied by the number of shares of Company Common Stock that may be purchased pursuant to such option

Section 1.5 CCBI to Make Merger Consideration Available. No later than the Business Day prior to the Closing Date, CCBI shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust (the “Exchange Agent”), for the benefit of the holders of Old Certificates, for exchange in accordance with this Section 1.5, (a) New Certificates representing the aggregate Stock Consideration to be issued pursuant to Section 1.4(c)(i) and exchanged pursuant to Section 1.6(a), and (b) cash in an amount sufficient to pay (i) the Cash Consideration payable to holders of Company Common Stock and (ii) cash in lieu of any fractional shares (such cash and New Certificates described in the foregoing clauses (a) and (b), together with any dividends or distributions with respect thereto, the “Exchange Fund”). The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund as directed by CCBI, provided that no such investment or losses thereon shall affect the amount of Merger Consideration payable to the holders of Old Certificates. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to CCBI.

Section 1.6 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days thereafter, CCBI shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of one or more Old Certificates representing shares of Company Common

Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time that have been converted at the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration and that has not theretofore submitted such holder’s Old Certificates, a letter of transmittal (“Letter of Transmittal”) which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Old Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Old Certificates to the Exchange Agent and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Old Certificates in exchange for the Stock Consideration and the Cash Consideration which such holder shall have become entitled to receive in accordance with, and subject to, Section 1.4(c)(i), and any cash in lieu of fractional shares which the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Old Certificate or Old Certificates shall have been converted into the right to receive pursuant to this Agreement as well as any dividends or distributions to be paid pursuant to Section 1.6(b). A Letter of Transmittal shall be deemed properly completed with respect to a holder of Company Common Stock only if accompanied by one or more Old Certificates (or customary affidavits and indemnification regarding a loss or destruction of such Old Certificates or the guaranteed delivery of such Old Certificates) representing all shares of Company Common Stock covered by such Letter of Transmittal. From and after the Effective Time, upon proper surrender of an Old Certificate or Old Certificates for exchange and cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with such properly completed Letter of Transmittal duly executed, the holder of such Old Certificate or Old Certificates shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor (i) a New Certificate representing the Stock Consideration to which such holder of Company Common Stock shall have become entitled to receive in accordance with, and subject to, Section 1.4(c)(i) and, as applicable, (ii) a check representing the amount of (A) the Cash Consideration which such holder has the right to receive in respect of the surrendered Old Certificate or Old Certificates in accordance with, and subject to, Section 1.4(c)(i), (B) any cash in lieu of fractional shares which such holder has the right to receive in respect of the surrendered Old Certificate or Old Certificates pursuant to Section 1.4(c)(iii) and (C) any dividends or distributions which the holder thereof has the right to receive pursuant to Section 1.6(b), and the Old Certificate or Old Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued on the Cash Consideration or any cash in lieu of fractional shares payable to holders of Old Certificates. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Letter of Transmittal, the Exchange Agent shall have discretion to determine whether any Letter of Transmittal has been properly completed and any Old Certificates properly surrendered or exchanged hereunder. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 1.6, each Old Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive, upon surrender, the Merger Consideration and any cash in lieu of fractional shares or in respect of dividends or distributions as contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) No dividends or other distributions declared with respect to CCBI Common Stock shall be paid to the holder of any Old Certificate until the holder thereof shall surrender such Old Certificate in accordance with the exchange provisions of this Agreement. After the surrender of an Old Certificate, the record holder thereof shall be entitled to receive any such dividends or other distributions, without any interest thereon, which theretofore had become payable with respect to the Stock Consideration which the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Old Certificate have been converted into the right to receive.

(c) If the Person surrendering an Old Certificate (the “Surrendering Person”) and signing the accompanying letter of transmittal is not the record holder thereof, then it shall be a condition of the payment of the Merger Consideration that: (i) such Old Certificate is properly endorsed to the Surrendering Person or is accompanied by appropriate stock powers, in either case signed exactly as the name of the record holder appears on such Old Certificate, and is otherwise in proper form for transfer, or is accompanied by appropriate evidence of the authority of the Surrendering Person surrendering such Old Certificate and signing the letter of transmittal to do so on behalf of the record holder; and (ii) the Surrendering Person requesting such exchange shall pay to the Exchange Agent in advance any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the payment to a Person other than the registered holder of the Old Certificate surrendered, or required for any other reason, or shall establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

(d) From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of the Company of the shares of Company Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Old Certificates representing such shares are presented for transfer to the Exchange Agent, they shall be exchanged for the Merger Consideration and canceled as provided in this Section 1.6(d).

For purposes of this Agreement, “ERISA Affiliate” means, with respect to any Person, any trade or business (whether or not incorporated) which is under common control or would be considered a single employer with such Person pursuant to Section 414(b), (c), (m) or (o) of the Code and the rules and regulations promulgated under those sections or pursuant to Section 4001(b) of ERISA and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

(c) Each CCBI Plan complies, and has been operated and administered to comply, in all material respects, with its terms and ERISA, the Code and any other applicable Law. There are no actions, suits or claims (other than routine claims for benefits) pending or, to CCBI’s Knowledge, threatened involving any CCBI Plan or the assets of any CCBI Plan. All contributions or payments required to be made to each CCBI Plan have been timely made and all obligations in respect of each CCBI Plan have been properly accrued and reflected on CCBI’s financial statements.

(d) Neither CCBI nor any of its ERISA Affiliates currently maintains, contributes to or has any liability under or, at any time in the past has maintained, contributed to or had any liability under, a “multiemployer plan” (as defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA), a

Neither CCBI nor any of its ERISA Affiliates has any liability of any kind whatsoever, whether known or unknown, direct, indirect, contingent or otherwise, on account of a violation of the health care requirements of Section 4980B or 4980D of the Code or Part 6 or 7 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA.

(g) To CCBI’s Knowledge, there are no nonexempt prohibited transactions within the meaning of Section 4975 of the Code or Section 406 of ERISA with respect to any CCBI Plan that has occurred that would give rise to liability on the part of CCBI or any of its ERISA Affiliates, any officer of CCBI or any of the CCBI Plans under Section 502(i) of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or otherwise and, to CCBI’s Knowledge, no breaches of fiduciary duty have occurred which may give rise to liability on the part of CCBI or any of its ERISA Affiliates under Sections 409 or 502(l) of ERISA or otherwise.

To the Knowledge of CCBI, with respect to such properties, assets and operations, including any previously owned, leased or operated properties, assets or operations, there are no events, conditions, circumstances, activities, practices, incidents, actions or plans of CCBI or its Subsidiaries that may interfere with or prevent compliance or continued compliance with applicable Worker Safety Laws and Environmental Laws, other than any such interference or prevention as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect on CCBI.

Section 2.15 CCBI Loans.

(a) Each loan agreement, note or borrowing arrangement, including portions of outstanding lines of credit, loan commitments and any other contingent exposures (such as letters of credit), on CCBI’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ books and records (collectively, the “CCBI Loans”), (i) was made and has been serviced in accordance with CCBI’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ lending standards in the ordinary course of business in all material respects; (ii) is evidenced by appropriate and sufficient documentation; (iii) to the extent underwritten as secured, has been secured by valid Liens which have been perfected and provide CCBI Bank with its anticipated priority as a secured lender; and (iv) constitutes, to the Knowledge of CCBI, the legal, valid and binding obligation of the obligor named therein, enforceable in accordance with its terms in all material respects (except as enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer and similar Laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights or by general equity principles) and is in full force and effect. CCBI and each of its Subsidiaries have previously made available to the Company complete and correct copies of their respective lending policies. The loan agreements and lending policies of CCBI and its Subsidiaries are in compliance in all material respects with all applicable Laws. Each CCBI Loan has been solicited and originated, and is currently serviced, in accordance in all material respects with all Laws.

(b) Section 2.15(b) of the CCBI Letter discloses in reasonable detail as of February 28, 2017: (i) any CCBI Loan under the terms of which the obligor is more than thirty (30) days delinquent in payment of principal or interest, or to the knowledge of CCBI, in default of

any other provision thereof (each a “Delinquent Loan”); (ii) each CCBI Loan which has been classified as “other loans specially mentioned,” “classified,” “criticized,” “substandard,” “doubtful,” “credit risk assets,” “watch list assets” or “loss” (or words of similar import) by CCBI, any of its Subsidiaries or Governmental Entity (the “Classified Loans”); (iii) a listing of the real estate owned, acquired by foreclosure or by deed-in-lieu thereof or in the process of being so acquired, including the book value thereof (the “OREO”); (iv) each CCBI Loan with any Related Person; (v) each CCBI Loan that has been modified through a troubled debt restructuring; and (vi) a listing and description of all exceptions to CCBI Bank’s loan and underwriting policy made with respect to any CCBI Loan.

(c) The allowances for loan losses reflected in the consolidated financial statements included in the CCBI SEC Documents were established in accordance with the requirements of GAAP, consistently applied with CCBI’s past practice and to the Knowledge of CCBI, adequately provide, in all material respects, for possible losses on loans (including accrued interest receivable) and credit commitments (including stand-by letters of credit) outstanding as of the respective dates of such financial statements. All charge-offs, write-downs and valuations of other real estate owned reflected in such financial statements were established in accordance with the requirements of GAAP, consistently applied with CCBI’s past practice and properly reflect the loss incurred on CCBI Loans (including accrual interest receivable) outstanding as of the respective dates of such financial statements.

(d) As to each CCBI Loan that is secured, whether in whole or in part, by a guaranty of the United States Small Business Administration (“USSBA”) or any other Governmental Entity, such guaranty is in full force and effect, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not result in the occurrence of any breach, default or forfeiture of rights under such guaranty, or require the consent, approval, or act of, or the making of any filing with, any Governmental Entity. Section 2.15(g) of the CCBI Letter sets forth each exception to USSBA requirements of any such CCBI Loan, except for such exceptions which are not material, individually or in the aggregate, and the most recent USSBA report with respect to CCBI Loans in liquidation status.

Section 2.16 Approvals. To the Knowledge of CCBI, there is no reason relating to CCBI or any of its Subsidiaries why the Specified Requisite Regulatory Approvals shall not be obtained in a prompt and timely manner.

The table of contents, table of defined terms and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, (a) the words “include,” “includes” or “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation,” (b) the words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereto” and “hereunder” refer to this Agreement as a whole and (c) the word “or” is not exclusive.

Each of the parties has participated in the drafting and negotiation of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement must be construed as if it is drafted by all the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. No disclosure, representation or warranty shall be required to be made (or any other action taken) pursuant to this Agreement that would involve the disclosure of confidential supervisory information of a Governmental Entity by any party hereto to the extent prohibited by applicable law, and, to the extent legally permissible, appropriate substitute disclosures or actions shall be made or taken under circumstances in which the limitations of this sentence apply.

Section 8.7 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto (whether by operation of Law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other parties.

Section 8.8 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic and legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby are not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 8.9 Enforcement of this Agreement. In addition to any remedy to which any party hereto is specifically entitled by the terms hereof, each party shall be entitled to pursue any other remedy available to it at Law or in equity in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their terms or were otherwise breached. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof (and, more specifically, that irreparable damage would likewise occur if any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement were not consummated), and, accordingly, that the parties hereto shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof (including the obligation of the parties hereto to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the obligation of CCBI to pay, and Company’s stockholders’ right to receive, the consideration payable to them pursuant to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, in each case in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement), this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law or in equity. In the event that any action is brought in equity to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, no party hereto shall allege, and each party hereto hereby waives the defense or counterclaim, that there is an adequate remedy at law. Each party hereto further agrees that no other party hereto or any other Person shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 8.9, and each party hereto irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument.
