At or prior to the Closing, HOMB shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with Computershare Trust Company, N.A. or such other exchange agent selected by HOMB and reasonably acceptable to MCBI (the “Exchange Agent”), for the benefit of the holders of shares of MCBI Common Stock, for exchange in accordance with this Article II, through the Exchange Agent, sufficient HOMB Common Stock to make all deliveries of HOMB Common Stock as required by this Article II, including the Merger Consideration, and cash sufficient to make payments in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.9(d), pursuant to an exchange agent agreement between HOMB and the Exchange Agent (the “Exchange Agent Agreement”) in a form reasonably acceptable to the parties hereto. In addition, HOMB agrees to make available to the Exchange Agent, from time to time after the Effective Time as needed, cash sufficient to pay any dividends and other distributions pursuant to Section 2.9(c). Any cash and HOMB Common Stock deposited with the Exchange Agent (including as payment for any dividends or other distributions in accordance with Section 2.9(c) and fractional shares in accordance with Section 2.9(d)) shall hereinafter be referred to collectively as the “Exchange Fund”. The Exchange Agent shall, pursuant to irrevocable instructions, deliver the Merger Consideration contemplated to be paid for shares of MCBI Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement out of the Exchange Fund. The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund as directed by HOMB. To the extent that the Exchange Fund diminishes for any reason below the amount required to promptly pay in full the cash in lieu of fractional shares payable to the MCBI Shareholders pursuant to Article II and any dividends declared by HOMB following the Effective Time and payable to the MCBI Shareholders pursuant to Section 2.9(c), HOMB shall promptly replace or restore such amounts so as to ensure that the Exchange Fund is at all times maintained at a level sufficient to make in full such payments contemplated by this Article II. Any interest and other income resulting from any investments of the cash portion of the Exchange Fund shall, subject to HOMB’s obligations in the immediately preceding sentence, be paid to HOMB. Except as contemplated by this Agreement and the Exchange Agent Agreement, the Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose. The Exchange Agent shall not be entitled to vote or exercise any other rights of ownership with respect to the shares of HOMB Common Stock held by it from time to time hereunder, except that it shall receive and hold all dividends and other distributions payable or distributable with respect to such shares for the account of the persons entitled thereto.

(b)Exchange Procedures. HOMB shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail, within five (5) Business Days of the Effective Time, to each record holder, as of the Effective Time, of an outstanding Certificate or Book Entry Share that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares of MCBI Common Stock (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the shares of MCBI Common Stock shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the corresponding certificates (the “Certificates”) representing such shares to the Exchange Agent or receipt by the Exchange Agent of an “agent’s message” with respect to non-certificated shares represented by book entry (“Book Entry Shares”), and shall be in customary form and have such other provisions as HOMB may reasonably specify), and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates or Book Entry Shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration payable in respect of the shares of MCBI Common Stock represented thereby. Promptly after the Effective Time, upon surrender of Certificates or Book Entry Shares for cancellation to the Exchange Agent together with such letters of transmittal, properly completed and duly executed, and such other documents as may be reasonably required pursuant to such instructions, the holders of such Certificates or Book Entry Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, upon completion of the calculations required by Section 2.8, (A) shares of HOMB Common Stock representing, in the aggregate, the whole number of shares of HOMB Common Stock that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.8 and (B) a check or wire of immediately available funds in an amount equal to the aggregate of (1) any dividends and other distributions pursuant to Section 2.9(c), plus (2) any cash payable in lieu of any fractional shares of HOMB Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.9(d). No interest shall be paid or accrued on any Merger Consideration. If any certificate or book entry position representing shares of HOMB Common Stock is to be issued in a name other than that in which the Certificate or Certificates surrendered or the Book Entry Share or Book Entry Shares transferred in exchange therefor is or are registered, it shall be a condition of the issuance thereof that the Certificate or Certificates so surrendered shall be properly endorsed (or accompanied by an appropriate instrument of transfer) in accordance with any applicable requirements and instructions of the Exchange Agent and any request to transfer such Book Entry Share or Book Entry Shares shall otherwise be in proper form in accordance with the requirements and instructions of the Exchange Agent for the transfer of such uncertificated share or uncertificated shares, and that the person requesting such exchange shall pay to the Exchange Agent in advance any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the issuance of a certificate or book entry position representing shares of HOMB Common Stock in any name other than that of the registered holder of the Certificate or Certificates surrendered or Book Entry Share or Book Entry Shares transferred, or required for any other reason, or shall establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(c)Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged MCBI Common Stock. No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to HOMB Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate or Book Entry Share with respect to the HOMB Common Stock that such holder would be entitled to receive upon surrender of such Certificate or Book Entry Share and no cash payment in lieu of fractional shares of HOMB Common Stock shall be paid to any such holder until such holder shall surrender such Certificate or Book Entry Share in accordance with this Section 2.9. Subject to Applicable Law, following surrender of any such Certificate or Book Entry Share, there shall be paid to such holder of HOMB Common Stock issuable in exchange therefor, without interest, (i) promptly after the time of such surrender, the amount of any cash payable in lieu of fractional shares of HOMB Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.9(d) and the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time and paid prior to such surrender with respect to such holder’s whole shares of HOMB Common Stock, and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to such surrender and a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to such holder’s whole shares of HOMB Common Stock.

(d)Fractional Shares. No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of HOMB Common Stock or book entry credit of the same shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates or Book Entry Shares, no dividend or other distribution, stock split or interest shall relate to any such fractional share and such fractional share shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to have any rights as a holder of any HOMB Common Stock. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each holder of shares of MCBI Common Stock exchanged in the Merger who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of HOMB Common Stock (after taking into account all Certificates and Book Entry Shares delivered by such holder) shall receive, in lieu thereof, cash (without interest) an amount, rounded to the nearest whole cent, equal to the product of (i) the HOMB Share Average Closing Price, and (ii) the fraction of a share of HOMB Common Stock that such holder would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.8 hereof (rounded to the nearest ten-thousandth when expressed in decimal form).

(e)Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of MCBI Common Stock after the first anniversary of the Effective Time shall be delivered to HOMB upon demand and, from and after such delivery to HOMB, any former holders of MCBI Common Stock (other than Appraisal Shares) who have not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to HOMB (subject to abandoned property, escheat, or other similar Laws), as general creditors thereof, for the Merger Consideration payable in respect of such shares of MCBI Common Stock, in each case, without any interest thereon. Any portion of the Merger Consideration or cash payable to the MCBI Shareholders pursuant to Article II remaining unclaimed by the holders of shares of MCBI Common Stock prior to the date on which such shares of HOMB Common Stock or cash would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Authority shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, thereupon become the property of HOMB free and clear of any Liens, claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(f)No Liability. Neither Exchange Agent, HOMB nor any of HOMB’s Subsidiaries shall be liable to any holder of shares of MCBI Common Stock for any shares of HOMB Common Stock (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) or cash from the Exchange Fund delivered to a public official or Governmental Authority in the reasonable belief that such delivery was required pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

(g)Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen, or destroyed in form and substance reasonably acceptable to HOMB and, if required by HOMB, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as HOMB may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent shall pay, in exchange for such lost, stolen, or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration payable in respect of the shares of MCBI Common Stock represented by such Certificate and any dividends or distributions payable in respect to such shares of MCBI Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement.

(h)Withholding. Each of HOMB and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of MCBI Common Stock such amounts as HOMB or the Exchange Agent is required to deduct and withhold under the Code or any provision of state, local, or foreign Tax law, with respect to the making of such payment; provided, however, that HOMB or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such holder of MCBI Common Stock with written notice of any intended withholding at least five (5) Business Days before the making of any such payment pursuant to this Agreement, and shall cooperate in good faith with such holder of MCBI Common Stock to obtain any available exception from, or reduction in, such withholding to the extent permitted under Applicable Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld and paid by HOMB or the Exchange Agent to the appropriate Governmental Authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of MCBI Common Stock in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made by HOMB or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be. To the extent that any amounts are deducted or withheld pursuant to this Section 2.9(h) by HOMB or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be, such amounts will be paid over by HOMB or the Exchange Agent to the appropriate Governmental Authority.

(i)Book Entry. Unless otherwise requested by a MCBI Shareholder, shares of HOMB Common Stock to be issued in the Merger shall be initially issued in book entry form, without physical certificates Any request by a MCBI Shareholder to receive a physical certificate or certificates representing shares of HOMB Common Stock shall be delivered to the Exchange Agent on such form and in such manner as may be required or requested by the Exchange Agent, and shall be accompanied by such processing fee as the Exchange Agent customarily charges with respect thereto.

2.10Certain Adjustments. If, after the date of this Agreement and at or prior to the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of HOMB Common Stock or MCBI Common Stock are changed into a different number of shares or type of securities by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, split-up, stock split, subdivision, combination or exchange of shares, or any dividend payable in stock or other securities is declared thereon or rights issued in respect thereof with a record date within such period, or any similar event occurs, the Exchange Ratio will be adjusted accordingly to provide to the holders thereof the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such adjustment event.

2.11Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights in MCBI Common Stock. At the Effective Time of the Merger, the stock transfer books of MCBI shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of MCBI Common Stock on the records of MCBI, except for the cancellation of such shares in connection with the Merger and the issuance of a share to HOMB in connection with the Merger. From and after the Effective Time of the Merger, the holders of Certificates or Book Entry Shares that evidenced ownership of shares of MCBI Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares, except as otherwise provided for herein or by Applicable Law. If, after the Effective Time of the Merger, bona fide Certificates or Book Entry Shares are presented to HOMB for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration and other payments, if any, as provided in this Article II.

2.12Appraisal Rights. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, shares of MCBI Common Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and with respect to which the shareholders thereof who are entitled to demand and have properly demanded (and not thereafter withdrawn) the fair value of such shares in accordance with Sections 48-23-101 to 48-23-302 of the TBCA and which shareholders have not voted in favor of the Merger and otherwise complied with the applicable provisions of Sections 48-23-101 to 48-23-302 of the TBCA in all respects (collectively, the “Appraisal Shares”) shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive the Merger Consideration. Such shareholders instead shall be entitled to receive payment of the fair value of such shares held by them in accordance with the provisions of Sections 48-23-101 to 48-23-302 of the TBCA, except that all Appraisal Shares held by shareholders who shall have failed to perfect or who effectively shall have withdrawn or otherwise lost their rights as dissenting shareholders under the TBCA shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into and to have become exchangeable, as of the Effective Time, for the right to receive, without any interest thereon, the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.8 and any dividends and other distributions payable in respect of the Appraisal Shares pursuant to this Agreement. MCBI shall give HOMB (i) reasonably prompt notice of MCBI’s receipt of any written demands for payment of fair value of any shares of MCBI Common Stock, attempted withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to the TBCA and received by MCBI relating to shareholders’ demands for appraisal rights and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands under the TBCA consistent with the obligations of MCBI thereunder. MCBI shall not, except with the prior written consent of HOMB, (x) make any payment with respect to such demand, (y) offer to settle or settle any demand for payment of fair value or (z) waive any failure to timely deliver a written demand for payment of fair value or timely take any other action to perfect payment of fair value rights in accordance with the TBCA.

2.13Proxy and Registration Statement. HOMB and MCBI shall prepare the Registration Statement on Form S-4 or other applicable form, which HOMB shall file with the SEC as promptly as reasonably practicable, but in no event more than thirty (30) calendar days, following the date of this Agreement and will include the Proxy Statement/Prospectus; provided, however, that any delay in filing the Registration Statement within such time period attributable in whole or in part to MCBI’s delay in furnishing information required to be included therein shall not be deemed a breach by HOMB of this Section 2.13. HOMB shall use reasonable best efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as reasonably practicable after such filing and to keep the Registration Statement effective as long as necessary to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby. Each of MCBI and HOMB will cause the Proxy Statement/Prospectus to be filed with the SEC, as applicable, published or disclosed in accordance with the reporting standards of the OTC Markets Group, Inc. and mailed to MCBI Shareholders as soon as reasonably practicable after the Registration Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act. HOMB shall also take any action required to be taken under any applicable state securities laws in connection with the issuance of HOMB Common Stock in the Merger, and MCBI shall furnish all information concerning MCBI and the holders of MCBI Common Stock, or holders of a beneficial interest therein, as may be reasonably requested in connection with any such action. HOMB will advise MCBI promptly after it receives oral or written notice of the time when the Registration Statement has become effective or any supplement or amendment has been filed, the issuance of any stop order, the suspension of the qualification of HOMB Common Stock issuable in connection with the Merger for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or any oral or written request by the SEC for amendment of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or the Registration Statement or comments thereon and responses thereto or requests by the SEC for additional information, and will promptly provide MCBI with copies of any written communication from the SEC or any state securities commission. If at any time prior to the Effective Time any information relating to HOMB or MCBI, or any of their respective affiliates, officers or directors, is discovered by HOMB or MCBI which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to any of the Registration Statement or the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, so that any of such documents would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the party that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other parties hereto and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be promptly filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by law, disseminated to MCBI Shareholders.

2.14MCBI Shareholders’ Meeting.

(a)MCBI shall, in accordance with applicable laws and MCBI’s current charter and bylaws call, give notice of, establish a record date for, convene and hold a meeting of its shareholders (the “MCBI Shareholders’ Meeting”), to be held as promptly as practicable after the Registration Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act, for the purpose of obtaining MCBI Shareholder Approval and, if so desired, and mutually agreed upon by HOMB and MCBI, other matters of the type customarily brought before a meeting of shareholders to approve a merger agreement. The board of directors of MCBI has resolved to recommend to MCBI Shareholders that they approve this Agreement and, subject to Section 2.14(c), MCBI shall, acting through its board of directors, (x) recommend that MCBI Shareholders approve this Agreement (the “MCBI Recommendation”), (y) include the MCBI Recommendation in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, and (z) use its reasonable best efforts to solicit from MCBI Shareholders proxies in favor of the approval of this Agreement, including by communicating to MCBI Shareholders the MCBI Recommendation and, subject to Section 2.14(c), MCBI shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the MCBI Shareholder Approval. MCBI agrees that, unless this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms, it has an unqualified obligation to submit this Agreement to MCBI Shareholders at the MCBI Shareholders’ Meeting, including after any Adverse MCBI Recommendation Change (as defined below). For purposes of this Agreement, “MCBI Shareholder Approval” shall mean the approval of this Agreement by affirmative vote of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast at the MCBI Shareholders’ Meeting by the MCBI Shareholders or such other number of affirmative votes as may be required for such approval by MCBI’s Governing Documents and Applicable Law.

(b)If on the date of the MCBI Shareholders’ Meeting, MCBI has not received proxies representing a sufficient number of shares of MCBI Common Stock to obtain the MCBI Shareholder Approval (as defined above), MCBI shall adjourn the MCBI Shareholders’ Meeting until such date as shall be mutually agreed upon by MCBI and HOMB, which date, without the consent of HOMB, shall not be less than five (5) calendar days nor more than ten (10) calendar days after the date of adjournment, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement including, without limitation, the provisions of this Section 2.14, shall continue to use its reasonable best efforts to assist in the solicitation of proxies from MCBI Shareholders relating to the MCBI Shareholder Approval; provided, however, MCBI shall only be required to adjourn, delay or postpone the MCBI Shareholders’ Meeting as described above once.

(c)Neither MCBI’s board of directors nor any committee thereof shall (x) except as expressly permitted by Section 2.14, withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify in any manner adverse to HOMB or any of its Subsidiaries, or propose to withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify, in a manner adverse to HOMB or any of HOMB’s Subsidiaries, the MCBI Recommendation, (y) knowingly and intentionally make, or direct or authorize any director or executive officer to make, any public statement in connection with the MCBI Shareholders’ Meeting regarding withholding, withdrawing, qualifying or modifying, or an intention or desire to withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify, in a manner adverse to HOMB or any of HOMB’s Subsidiaries, the MCBI Recommendation or (z) approve or recommend, or propose to approve or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal (any of the foregoing, an “Adverse MCBI Recommendation Change”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the MCBI board of directors may make or cause to be made an Adverse MCBI Recommendation Change if:

(i)(A)(I) MCBI’s board of directors determines in good faith, after receiving the advice of its outside legal counsel and, with respect to financial matters, its financial advisor, that it has received an unsolicited, bona fide Acquisition Proposal (that did not result from a material breach of Section 5.10) that is a Superior Proposal and such Superior Proposal has not been withdrawn and (II) MCBI’s board of directors determines in good faith after receiving the advice of its outside legal counsel that not accepting such Superior Proposal would more likely than not result in a violation of its fiduciary duties under applicable law; or (B) MCBI’s board of directors determines in good faith, after receiving the advice of its outside legal counsel and, with respect to financial matters, its financial advisor, that (I) an Intervening Event has occurred and is continuing and (II) the failure to make an Adverse MCBI Recommendation Change in response to such Intervening Event would more likely than not result in a violation of its fiduciary duties under applicable law;

(ii)MCBI’s board of directors provides at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice (a “Notice of MCBI Recommendation Change”) to HOMB of its intent to take such action, which notice shall specify in reasonable detail the event or circumstances giving rise to its determination to take such action, including, in the event such action is taken in response to an Acquisition Proposal, the material terms and conditions of the Acquisition Proposal or any amendment or modification thereof, which material terms shall include, without limitation, the identity of the Person making such Acquisition Proposal and, if such Acquisition Proposal is in writing, a copy of such Acquisition Proposal (or if no such copy is available, a reasonably detailed description of such Acquisition Proposal), or describe in reasonable detail such other event or circumstances if not in response to an Acquisition Proposal;

(iii)MCBI and its Subsidiaries have negotiated, and have instructed their respective Representatives and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause their respective Representatives to, negotiate in good faith with HOMB and its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives during such five (5) Business Day period to the extent that HOMB and its Subsidiaries wish to negotiate, to enable HOMB and its Subsidiaries to revise the terms of this Agreement, such that the failure to make the Adverse MCBI Recommendation Change would not be more likely than not to result in a violation of MCBI’s board of directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable law; and

(iv)at the end of such five (5) Business Day notice period MCBI’s board of directors takes into account any amendment or modification to this Agreement proposed by HOMB and after receiving the advice of its outside counsel, and with respect to financial matters, its financial advisor, determines in good faith that it would more likely than not result in a violation of its fiduciary duties under applicable law to make or continue to make the MCBI Recommendation or to not make an Adverse MCBI Recommendation Change.

Any material amendment to any Acquisition Proposal or material change in the facts and circumstances giving rise to an Intervening Event, in each case, will be deemed to be a new Acquisition Proposal or Intervening Event, as applicable, for purposes of this Section 2.14 and will require a new notice period as referred to in Section 2.14(c)(ii); provided that with respect thereto the references to a five (5) Business Day period in Sections 2.14(c)(ii), (iii) and (iv) shall instead be references to a three (3) Business Day period. Upon an Adverse MCBI Recommendation Change prior to the MCBI Shareholders’ Meeting, if this Agreement has not been terminated by HOMB pursuant to Section 7.1(e), MCBI’s board of directors may communicate the basis for its Adverse MCBI Recommendation Change to the shareholders in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or, at MCBI’s expense, an appropriate amendment or supplement thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall the MCBI board of directors or any committee thereof make or cause to be made an Adverse MCBI Recommendation Change once the MCBI Shareholder Approval has been obtained.

2.15MCBI Restricted Stock and Stock Options.

(a)Each share of MCBI Restricted Stock outstanding at the Effective Time shall fully vest as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and be converted automatically into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in respect of each share of MCBI Common Stock underlying such share of MCBI Restricted Stock.

Target Bank is Well-Capitalized and its most recent examination rating under the Federal Community Reinvestment Act, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder (“CRA”), was “satisfactory” or better. To MCBI’s Knowledge, there is no fact or circumstance or set of facts or circumstances which would be reasonably likely to cause Target Bank to receive any notice of non-compliance with such provisions of the CRA or cause Target Bank’s CRA rating to decrease below the “satisfactory” level.

3.19Investment Portfolio. All investment securities held by MCBI or its Subsidiaries, as reflected in the MCBI Financial Statements, are in all material respects carried in accordance with GAAP and in a manner consistent with the applicable guidelines issued by the MCBI Regulatory Agencies.

3.21Intellectual Property. MCBI and each of its Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use (in each case, free and clear of any material Liens), all Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted.

In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each of HOMB and MCBI shall use its reasonable best efforts to (x) avoid the entry of, or to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that would restrain, prevent or delay the Closing, and (y) avoid or eliminate each and every impediment so as to enable the Closing to occur as soon as possible; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to (I) require HOMB or MCBI to propose, negotiate, commit to or effect, by consent decree, hold separate order, or otherwise, any sale, transfer, divestiture or disposition of businesses, properties or assets (including rights or ownership interests in any such party’s Subsidiaries) of HOMB, MCBI and their respective Subsidiaries and, following the Closing, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries, that would, in the aggregate when considered together with all such other sales, transfers, divestitures or dispositions, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on MCBI and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (II) require HOMB, or require or permit MCBI, to take any action, or commit to take any action, or agree to any condition or restriction, in connection with obtaining the permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of any Governmental Authority or Regulatory Agency that would reasonably be expected to (A) result in the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries becoming subject to any cease-and-desist order or other order, formal or informal enforcement action issued by, or written agreement, consent agreement, operating agreement, memorandum of understanding, commitment letter or similar undertaking with, or any request to adopt any board resolutions by, any Governmental Authority or Regulatory Agency which solely results from or arises out of the conduct of MCBI’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ businesses, that would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on MCBI and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (B) have a Material Adverse Effect on the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, after giving effect to the Mergers (a “Materially Burdensome Regulatory Condition”).

(b)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, as soon as practicable and in no event later than thirty (30) calendar days after the date of this Agreement, HOMB and MCBI shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, each prepare and file any applications, notices and filings required in order to obtain the Regulatory Approvals. HOMB and MCBI shall each use, and shall each cause their applicable Subsidiaries to use, reasonable best efforts to obtain each such approval as promptly as reasonably practicable. The parties shall cooperate with each other in connection therewith (including the furnishing of any information and any reasonable undertaking or commitments that may be required to obtain the Regulatory Approvals). Each party will provide the other with copies of any applications and supplemental responses and all correspondence relating thereto reasonably in advance of filing, other than material filed in connection therewith that contains confidential supervisory information or is otherwise filed under a claim of confidentiality. The parties hereto agree that they will consult with the other parties hereto with respect to the obtaining of all permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all third parties, Governmental Entities and Regulatory Agencies necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, consider in good faith the views of the others in connection with any proposed written or material oral communication with any Governmental Entity or Regulatory Agency related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and each party will keep the others reasonably apprised of the status of matters relating to completion of the transactions contemplated herein. HOMB and MCBI agree to furnish each other and each other’s counsel with all information concerning themselves, their subsidiaries, directors, trustees, officers and shareholders and such other matters as reasonably may be necessary or advisable in connection with any application, petition or other statement or application made by or on behalf of HOMB, Centennial, MCBI or Target Bank or any of their Affiliates to any Governmental Entity or Regulatory Agency in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each party acknowledges and agrees that nothing in this Agreement, including this Section 5.4, shall require any party to provide confidential supervisory information to any other party.

(c)Subject to Applicable Law (including Applicable Law relating to the exchange of information), the parties shall advise each other within twenty-four (24) hours of receiving any communication from any Governmental Authority or Regulatory Agency in connection with the Regulatory Approvals that causes such party to believe that there is a reasonable likelihood that the Regulatory Approvals or any other consent or approval required hereunder will not be obtained or that the receipt of any such approval will be materially delayed or that a Materially Burdensome Regulatory Condition might be imposed on any such Regulatory Approval.

(d)Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, MCBI agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain (i) estoppel certificates dated as of the Closing Date executed by each landlord of the MCBI Leased Real Property (other than those landlords who have executed consents as contemplated by Section 3.4 of the MCBI Disclosure Schedule) in forms as may be reasonably acceptable to HOMB and (ii) the written authorizations, consents, notices and approvals identified in Section 3.4 of the MCBI Disclosure Schedule.

5.5Access; Integration of Data Processing; Confidentiality.

(a)In order to facilitate the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and the integration of the business and operations of MCBI and its Subsidiaries, subject to Section 5.5(c) and Applicable Laws relating to confidentiality and the exchange of information, MCBI shall permit HOMB and its Subsidiaries and their respective officers, employees, counsel, accountants and other authorized representatives, access, throughout the period before the Closing Date, upon reasonable notice and at HOMB’s sole expense:

(i)during customary business hours, to all books, papers and records relating to the assets, properties, operations, obligations and liabilities of MCBI and its Subsidiaries in which HOMB may have a reasonable interest; provided, however, that MCBI shall not be required to take any action that would provide access to or to disclose information where such access or disclosure would violate or prejudice the rights of MCBI’s or its Subsidiaries’ customers, result in the waiver by it or any Subsidiary thereof of the privilege protecting communications between it or such Subsidiary and any of its or such Subsidiary’s counsel or where such access or disclosure would contravene any Applicable Law or Order or binding agreement entered into prior to the date of this Agreement; provided, further, that the parties shall attempt to make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements; and

(ii)during and, as reasonably required, outside of customary business hours, to telecommunications and electronic data processing systems, facilities and personnel of MCBI and its Subsidiaries for the purpose of performing reasonably necessary conversion activities related to data processing integration.

HOMB shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any interference with the regular business operations of MCBI and its Subsidiaries during any such access.

(b)At the request of HOMB, during the period from the date of this Agreement to the Closing, MCBI shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and their respective officers and employees to, and shall make all reasonable efforts to cause their respective telecommunications and data processing service providers to (subject to HOMB agreeing to enter into customary confidentiality, non-disclosure and similar agreements with such service providers), reasonably cooperate and assist HOMB in connection with preparation for an electronic and systematic conversion of all applicable data regarding MCBI and its Subsidiaries to HOMB and its Subsidiaries’ systems of telecommunications and electronic data processing; provided, however, that no such conversion shall occur until the Closing. HOMB shall be responsible for reasonable and agreed upon costs incurred by MCBI and its Subsidiaries, including all fees to third parties, in connection with any such efforts.

(c)Each of HOMB and MCBI acknowledges and agrees that the Confidentiality Agreement remains in full force and effect and, in addition, covenants and agrees to keep confidential, in accordance with the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement, information provided to them pursuant to this Agreement. If this Agreement is, for any reason, terminated prior to the Closing Date, the Confidentiality Agreement and the provisions of this Section 5.5(c) shall nonetheless continue in full force and effect.

5.6Advice of Changes. HOMB and MCBI shall promptly advise the other of any fact, change, event or circumstance known to it (i) that has had or would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on it or (ii) which it believes would or would be reasonably likely to cause or constitute a material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein that reasonably could be expected to give rise, individually or in the aggregate, to the failure of a condition in Article VI; provided, however, that no such notification shall affect the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the parties (or remedies with respect thereto) or the conditions to the obligations of the parties under this Agreement; provided, further, that a failure to comply with this Section 5.6 shall not constitute the failure of any condition set forth in Sections 6.2 or 6.3 to be satisfied, or otherwise constitute a breach of this Agreement by the party failing to give such notice, in each case unless the underlying breach would independently result in the failure of a condition set forth in Sections 6.2 or 6.3 to be satisfied.

5.7Public Announcements. MCBI and HOMB shall consult with each other before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statements or filings with respect to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby and shall not issue, and shall not permit any of their Subsidiaries to issue, any such press release or make any such public statement without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that a party may, without the prior written consent of the other party, (i) issue such press release or make such public statement or filing as may be required by Applicable Law or Order, or any listing agreement with a national stock exchange or automated quotation system; provided, further, however that such party shall have first used reasonable best efforts to consult with the other party with respect to such release, statement or filing and (ii) make such releases, announcements or statements that are consistent with such other releases, announcements or statements made on or after the date of this Agreement in compliance with this Section 5.7.

5.8No Control of the Other Party. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall give either HOMB or MCBI or their Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the operations of MCBI or HOMB, or their Subsidiaries, as applicable, prior to the Effective Time.

5.9Employee Benefit Matters.

(a)During the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the first anniversary of the Effective Time, HOMB shall, or shall cause its applicable Subsidiary to, provide to each employee of MCBI or its Subsidiaries who shall continue employment with the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries following the Closing Date and who shall not have been terminated and provided the benefits set forth in the next sentence of this Section 5.9(a), but excluding any such employee that is party to a written employment or consulting agreement setting forth terms of employment or consulting services to the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries that becomes effective as of the Effective Time (a “Continuing Employee”), with (i) a base salary or base wage rate, as applicable, that is no less favorable than the base salary or base wage rate, as applicable, provided by MCBI or any of its Subsidiaries to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time, (ii) cash incentive compensation opportunities that, in each case, are no less favorable than the cash incentive compensation opportunities provided by MCBI or any of its Subsidiaries to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (iii) other employee benefits that are provided to HOMB’s similarly situated employees. Without limiting the immediately preceding sentence, HOMB shall provide to each Continuing Employee whose employment terminates other than for cause during the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the first anniversary thereof with severance benefits equal to the greater of (A) the severance benefits set forth in Appendix II, (B) the severance benefits for which employees of HOMB and its Subsidiaries who are similarly situated to such Continuing Employee would be eligible under the severance plans or policies of HOMB and its Subsidiaries, and (C) the severance benefits owed to such Continuing Employee pursuant to any Contract between such Continuing Employee and MCBI or Target Bank, in each case, as determined without taking into account any reduction after the Effective Time in compensation paid to such Continuing Employee and after giving credit to such Continuing Employee for his or her years of service to MCBI or its Subsidiaries.

(b)With respect to any HOMB Employee Benefit Plan in which any Continuing Employee becomes eligible to participate on or after the Closing Date, HOMB shall use best efforts to (i) waive all preexisting conditions, actively at work requirements, exclusion and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements under any such HOMB Employee Benefit Plan to the extent they were inapplicable to, or were satisfied under, any MCBI Employee Benefit Plan in which such Continuing Employee participated prior to the Closing Date; and (ii) ensure that each Continuing Employee receives full credit (including eligibility to participate, vesting, vacation entitlement and severance benefits, but excluding benefit accrual under any defined benefit HOMB Employee Benefit Plan or any such credit that would result in a duplication of benefits) under each HOMB Employee Benefit Plan in which such Continuing Employee becomes or may become a participant for service with the Surviving Corporation (or any predecessor to the Surviving Corporation and its Affiliates), solely to the extent such service was credited under the MCBI Employee Benefit Plans. As of the Closing Date, HOMB shall, and shall cause its applicable Subsidiaries to, credit to Continuing Employees the amount of vacation time that such employees had accrued under any vacation policy or arrangement listed in Section 3.24(a) of the MCBI Disclosure Schedule as of the Closing Date. With respect to each HOMB Employee Benefit Plan that is a health plan in which Continuing Employees participate after Closing, HOMB shall use best efforts to (A) cause to be waived any eligibility waiting period, any evidence of insurability requirement and the application of any pre-existing condition limitation under such plan to the extent such requirements or limitations were inapplicable to, or were satisfied under, any MCBI Employee Benefit Plan in which such Continuing Employee participated prior to the Closing Date; and (B) cause each Continuing Employee to be given credit under such health plan with respect to the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs (“Closing Date Plan Year”) for amounts (such as deductibles and co-payments) paid under any similar MCBI Employee Benefit Plan by such Continuing Employee, with respect to the Closing Date Plan Year, as though such amounts had been paid in accordance with the terms and conditions of any applicable HOMB Employee Benefit Plan and for which verification of such amounts is provided. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the HOMB Guardian Cancer Plan shall not be considered a “health plan” for purposes of the preceding sentence and therefore not subject to subclauses (A) and (B).

(c)Unless HOMB requests in writing that MCBI or Target Bank make such payments prior to the Closing, HOMB will make those “change in control” payments in the amounts and to the persons listed on Appendix I at the Effective Time.

(d)HOMB and MCBI acknowledge and agree that all provisions contained in this Section 5.9 are included for the sole benefit of HOMB and MCBI and nothing contained herein shall (i) be construed as an amendment to any MCBI Employee Benefit Plan or HOMB Employee Benefit Plan or the creation of any new employee benefit plan, (ii) create any third-party beneficiary or other rights in any other person, including any employee or former employee of any of HOMB or MCBI or their respective Subsidiaries, or any dependent or beneficiary thereof, (iii) otherwise obligate HOMB or any of its Affiliates to maintain any particular MCBI Employee Benefit Plan, HOMB Employee Benefit Plan or other employee benefit plan or retain the employment of any particular employee following the Closing Date, or (iv) create any right in any Continuing Employee or any other Person to any continued employment with HOMB or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or otherwise be deemed to change the employment status of any Continuing Employee to anything other than at-will. HOMB and MCBI further acknowledge and agree that MCBI and its Subsidiaries shall provide to HOMB all employee books and records relating to Continuing Employees no later than the Closing Date, as permitted by Applicable Laws.

(e)MCBI may, or may cause Target Bank to, establish a cash-based retention program in the aggregate amount of $500,000.00 to promote retention and to incentivize efforts to consummate the Mergers and the Bank Merger (the “Retention Program”) with any such payments from such Retention Program to be paid on such dates as shall be agreed to by MCBI and HOMB. Amounts under the Retention Program shall be allocated among the employees of MCBI and its Subsidiaries identified, and in the amounts and on the terms determined, by the Chief Executive Officer of MCBI (or his designees); provided that payments from such Retention Program to any single employee in excess of $25,000 shall only be made following consultation with HOMB regarding such payments. If a retention award or portion thereof under the Retention Program is forfeited by a participant, the Chief Executive Officer of MCBI (or his designees) may reallocate the retention award (or unpaid portion thereof) to existing employees or new hires of MCBI or its Subsidiaries.

(f)If requested by HOMB in writing at least twenty (20) business days prior to the Effective Time, MCBI shall cause any 401(k) plan sponsored or maintained by MCBI or any of its Subsidiaries (a “MCBI 401(k) Plan”) and any MCBI Employee Benefit Plans set forth in Items 1-12 on Section 3.24(a) of the MCBI Disclosure Schedule (the “Terminated MCBI Plans”) to be terminated effective as of the day immediately prior to the Effective Time and contingent upon the occurrence of the Closing. MCBI or Target Bank shall cause those MCBI Employee Benefit Plans set forth in Item 14 on Section 3.24(a) of the MCBI Disclosure Schedule to be terminated prior to the Effective Time. If HOMB requests that any MCBI 401(k) Plan or Terminated MCBI Plan be terminated, (i) MCBI shall provide HOMB with evidence that such plan has been terminated not later than two (2) business days immediately preceding the Effective Time, and (ii) the Continuing Employees shall be eligible to participate, effective as of the Effective Time, in a 401(k) plan sponsored or maintained by HOMB or one of its Subsidiaries (a “HOMB 401(k) Plan”) and in any benefit plans offered by HOMB. MCBI and HOMB shall take any and all actions as may be required to permit the Continuing Employees who are then actively employed to make rollover contributions to the HOMB 401(k) Plan of “eligible rollover distributions” (with the meaning of Section 401(a)(31) of the Code) in the form of cash, notes (in the case of loans) or a combination thereof. Prior to the Effective Time, MCBI or its Subsidiaries may make an employer contribution (at a level determined in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice) to any MCBI 401(k) Plan for the year in which the Effective Time occurs or any prior year.

5.10No Solicitation of Transaction by MCBI.

(a)From the date hereof until the Closing Date, or, if earlier, the date on which this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Article VII, MCBI shall not, and shall cause all of its Subsidiaries and shall instruct its and their Representatives to not and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its and their respective Representatives to not, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate, knowingly facilitate or knowingly encourage (including by way of furnishing information) any inquiries or proposals that constitute, or would reasonably be likely to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding any Acquisition Proposal or furnish, or otherwise afford access, to any Person (other than HOMB and its Subsidiaries and their Representatives), to any nonpublic information or data with respect to MCBI or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise relating to an Acquisition Proposal, (iii) except pursuant to Section 2.14 in connection with making an Adverse MCBI Recommendation Change approve, endorse or recommend any Acquisition Proposal (other than the Merger), or (iv) unless this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms, enter into any agreement in principle, arrangement, understanding, contract or agreement relating to an Acquisition Proposal (other than a confidentiality agreement referred to and entered into in accordance with this Section 5.10). Upon execution of this Agreement, MCBI shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and shall instruct its and their Representatives to and use its reasonable best efforts to cause its and their respective Representatives to, immediately cease any discussions, negotiations or communications conducted before the date of this Agreement with any party or parties with respect to any Acquisition Proposal; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 5.10 shall preclude MCBI or its Representatives from contacting any such party or parties solely for the purpose of complying with the provisions of the first clause of this sentence or to enforce the provisions of any confidentiality agreement entered into with any Person with respect to a potential Acquisition Proposal.

(b)Notwithstanding Section 5.10(a), prior to the receipt of the MCBI Shareholder Approval, MCBI may take any of the actions described in clause (ii) of Section 5.10(a) if, but only if, (i) MCBI has received a bona fide unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal that did not result from a material breach of Section 5.10(a); (ii) MCBI’s board of directors determines, after receiving the advice of its outside legal counsel and with respect to financial matters, its financial advisor, that the failure to take such actions would be more likely than not to result in a violation of its fiduciary duties under applicable law; (iii) prior to providing any nonpublic information permitted to be provided pursuant to the foregoing, MCBI shall have provided notice to HOMB of its intention to provide such information; and (iv) prior to furnishing or affording access to any information or data with respect to MCBI or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise relating to an Acquisition Proposal, MCBI enters into with such Person a confidentiality agreement with terms no less favorable to MCBI than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement. MCBI shall promptly provide to HOMB any non-public information regarding MCBI or its Subsidiaries provided to any other Person making an Acquisition Proposal that was not previously provided to HOMB, such additional information to be provided no later than the date of provision of such information to such other Person.

(c)MCBI shall promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) notify HOMB in writing after the receipt of any Acquisition Proposal, or any inquiry or requests for information which could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal. Such notice shall indicate the name of the Person initiating such inquiry or request for information or making the Acquisition Proposal and the material terms and conditions of any such Acquisition Proposal or inquiry. MCBI shall keep HOMB reasonably informed on a prompt basis of any material changes in the status and any material changes or modifications in such inquiry or request for information or the terms of any such Acquisition Proposal.

(d)Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent MCBI or its board of directors from complying with Rule 14d-9 and Rule 14e-2 under the Exchange Act or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A with respect to an Acquisition Proposal or from making any legally required disclosures to MCBI’s shareholders, it being agreed that such Rules will in no way eliminate or modify the effect that any action pursuant to such Rules would otherwise have under this Agreement.

5.11Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance.

(a)From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall (i) indemnify, defend and hold harmless to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Laws, each individual who at the Effective Time is, or at any time prior to the Effective Time was, a director, officer or employee of MCBI or any of MCBI’s Subsidiaries (collectively the “Indemnitees”) in respect of all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, fines, penalties, costs and expenses (including legal expenses) in connection with any actual or threatened claim, suit, action, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, hereafter arising before or after the Effective Time based on or arising out the fact that such Indemnitee was an officer, director or employee of MCBI or any Subsidiary of MCBI or was serving at the request of MCBI or any Subsidiary thereof as a director or officer of any other Person for acts or omissions by such Indemnitee in such capacity or taken at the request of MCBI or any Subsidiary of MCBI, at or any time prior to or after the Effective Time (including any claim, suit, action, proceeding or investigation relating to the Mergers, the Bank Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement); (ii) advance expenses as incurred by any Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law; provided, that the Indemnitee to whom expenses are so advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification; and (iii) assume all obligations of MCBI and MCBI’s Subsidiaries to Indemnitees in respect of indemnification and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time as provided in MCBI’s Governing Documents and the organizational documents of MCBI’s Subsidiaries.

(b)HOMB shall maintain in effect for six (6) years after the Effective Time, the current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by MCBI (provided that HOMB may substitute therefor policies with a substantially comparable insurer of at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions which are no less advantageous to the insured so long as substitution does not result in gaps or lapses in coverage) with respect to claims against the present and former officers and directors of MCBI or any of its Subsidiaries arising from facts or events which occurred at or before the Effective Time; provided that in no event shall HOMB be required to expend on an annual basis an amount in excess of 300% of the annual premium payment on MCBI’s current policy in effect as of the date of this Agreement (the “Premium Cap”) and, in the event the cost of such coverage shall exceed that amount, HOMB shall purchase as much coverage as possible for such amount. In lieu of the foregoing, HOMB may, in consultation with MCBI, obtain at or prior to the Effective Time a prepaid six-year “tail” policy under MCBI’s existing director and officer insurance policy providing coverage equivalent to that described in the preceding sentence for an aggregate price of no more than the Premium Cap.

(c)The provisions of this Section 5.11 are intended for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnitee, his or her heirs and his or her representatives and is in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any Indemnitee may have under MCBI Governing Documents, by contract or otherwise. In the event the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of HOMB or the purchaser of its assets and properties shall expressly assume the obligations set forth in this Section 5.11. This Section 5.11 shall survive the Effective Time.

5.12Efforts to Consummate; Further Assurances. HOMB and MCBI agree to use, and to cause each of their Subsidiaries to use, reasonable best efforts to satisfy or cause to be satisfied as soon as practicable their respective obligations hereunder and the conditions precedent to the Closing.

5.13Continuity of Business. Following the Effective Time, HOMB will continue, directly or indirectly, at least one significant historic business line of MCBI, or use at least a significant portion of MCBI’s historic business assets in a business, in each case within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-1(d) except that HOMB may transfer MCBI’s historic business assets (i) to a corporation that is a member of the HOMB’s “qualified group,” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-1(d)(4)(ii); or (ii) to a partnership if (A) one or more members of HOMB’s “qualified group” have active and substantial management functions as a partner with respect to MCBI’s historic business; or (B) members of HOMB’s “qualified group” in the aggregate own an interest in the partnership representing a significant interest in MCBI’s historic business, in each case within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-1(d)(4)(iii).

Each of HOMB and MCBI shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such certificates to be delivered and not to take or cause to be taken any action that would cause to be untrue (or fail to take or cause not to be taken any action which would cause to be untrue) any of the certifications and representations included in the certificates described in this Section 5.13(e).

(b)Without limiting the rights of a party hereto to pursue all other legal and equitable rights available to such party for another party’s failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the remedy at law for any failure to perform their respective obligations hereunder would be inadequate and that each party shall be entitled to specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies in the event of any such failure.

(c)Each party further agrees that: (i) no such party will oppose the granting of an injunction or specific performance as provided herein on the basis that the other party has an adequate remedy at law or that an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity; (ii) no such party will oppose the specific performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement; and (iii) no other party 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 8.8, and each party irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing, or posting of any such bond or similar instrument.

8.10Counterparts; Effectiveness; Electronic Signatures.

8.11Nonsurvival. None of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement other than this Section 8.12 shall survive the Effective Time, except for those covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement that by their terms apply or are to be performed in whole or in part after the Effective Time, including, without limitation, those set forth in Sections 5.9 and 5.11. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate in accordance with its terms.

8.12Severability. If any term of provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provisions in any other jurisdiction and this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction such that the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or portion thereof shall be interpreted to be only so broad as to be enforceable.

All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Merger Agreement (defined below).

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, HOMB, Centennial Bank, an Arkansas state bank (“Centennial”), HOMB Acquisition Sub IV, Inc., an Arkansas corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of HOMB (“Acquisition Sub”), MCBI and Mountain Commerce Bank, a Tennessee banking association and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of MCBI (“Target Bank”) are entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as such agreement may be subsequently amended or modified, the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which (i) Acquisition Sub will, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, merge with and into MCBI, with MCBI continuing as the surviving entity (the “Merger”), and (ii) as soon as reasonably practicable following the Merger and as part of a single integrated transaction, MCBI will merge with and into HOMB, with HOMB continuing as the ultimate surviving entity;

WHEREAS, in connection with the Merger, each outstanding share of MCBI Common Stock will be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration;

WHEREAS, Shareholder has voting power over the number of shares of MCBI Common Stock as indicated on the signature page of this Agreement under the heading “Total Number of Shares of MCBI Common Stock Subject to this Agreement” (such shares, together with any additional shares of MCBI Common Stock subsequently acquired by Shareholder during the term of this Agreement, including through the exercise of any stock option or other equity award, stock appreciation right or similar instrument, being referred to collectively as the “Shares”);

WHEREAS, obtaining MCBI Shareholder Approval of the Merger is a condition to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; and

WHEREAS, it is a material inducement to the willingness of HOMB to enter into the Merger Agreement that Shareholder execute and deliver this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of, and as a material inducement to, HOMB entering into the Merger Agreement and proceeding with the transactions contemplated thereby, and in consideration of the expenses incurred and to be incurred by HOMB in connection therewith, Shareholder and HOMB agree as follows:

Section 1.    Agreement to Vote Shares. Shareholder irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that, while this Agreement is in effect, at any meeting of MCBI Shareholders, however called, or at any adjournment thereof, or in any other circumstances in which Shareholder is entitled to vote, consent or give any other approval, except as otherwise agreed to in writing in advance by HOMB, Shareholder shall:

a)    appear at each such meeting in person or by proxy; and

b)    vote (or cause to be voted), in person or by proxy, all the Shares (i) in favor of adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement and any other matters required to be approved or adopted in order to effect the Merger and the the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (ii) in favor of any proposal to adjourn or postpone the shareholders’ meeting if there are not sufficient votes to adopt and approve the Merger Agreement; (iii)  against any Acquisition Proposal; and (iv) against any other action, agreement or transaction that is intended, or would reasonably be expected, to materially impede or materially interfere with, materially delay, or materially and adversely affect consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

The Shares do not include shares over which the Shareholder exercises control in a fiduciary capacity for any other person or entity that is not an Affiliate of the Shareholder, and no representation by Shareholder is made with respect thereto.

Section 2.    No Transfers. While this Agreement is in effect, Shareholder agrees not to, directly or indirectly, sell, transfer, pledge, assign or otherwise dispose of, or enter into any contract option, commitment or other arrangement or understanding with respect to the sale, transfer, pledge, assignment or other disposition of, any of the Shares, except with respect to the following permitted transfers: (a) transfers by will or operation of law, in which case this Agreement shall bind the transferee, (b) transfers pursuant to any pledge agreement, subject to the pledgee agreeing in writing, prior to such transfer, to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, (c) transfers in connection with estate and tax planning purposes, including transfers to relatives, trusts and charitable organizations, provided that as a condition to such transfer, such transferee, shall be required to execute an agreement that is identical in form and substance to this Agreement, (d) the exercise of outstanding stock options in order to pay the exercise price of such stock options or satisfy any withholding taxes triggered by such exercise, (e) transfers in connection with the vesting or settlement of MCBI Restricted Stock for the payment of taxes thereon, and (f) such transfers as HOMB may otherwise permit in its sole discretion, and further provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Shares that are pledged to secure borrowings as of the date of this Agreement may continue to be pledged to secure such borrowings. Any transfer or other disposition in violation of the terms of this Section 2 shall be null and void.

Section 3.    Representations and Warranties of Shareholder. Shareholder represents and warrants to and agrees with HOMB as follows:

a)    Shareholder has full power, authority and legal capacity to enter into and perform his, her or its obligations under this Agreement.

b)    This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Shareholder, and assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by HOMB, constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of Shareholder enforceable against Shareholder in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles.

c)    The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Shareholder does not, and the performance by Shareholder of his, her or its obligations hereunder will not, violate or conflict with, or constitute a default under, any agreement, instrument, contract or other obligation or any order, arbitration award, judgment or decree to which Shareholder is a party or by which Shareholder is bound, or any statute, rule or regulation to which Shareholder is subject or, in the event that Shareholder is a corporation, partnership, trust or other entity, any charter, bylaw or other organizational document of Shareholder.

d)    Shareholder has the authority to exercise voting power over the Shares. The Shares do not include shares over which Shareholder exercises control in a fiduciary capacity for any other person or entity that is not an Affiliate of Shareholder, and no representation by Shareholder is made with respect thereto. Shareholder has the right to vote the Shares, and none of the Shares is subject to any voting trust or other agreement, arrangement or restriction with respect to the voting of the Shares, except as contemplated by this Agreement. No consent, approval, order, or authorization of, or registration, declaration, or filing with, and Governmental entity or any other Person on the part of Shareholder is required in connection with the valid execution and delivery of this Agreement, except where the failure to obtain or make any such consent, approval, order, authorization, registration, declaration or filing would not, either individually or in the aggregate, materially interfere with, prevent or materially delay the performance by the Shareholder of his or her obligations under this Agreement. No consent of Shareholder’s spouse is necessary under any “community property” or other laws in order for Shareholder to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement.

Section 4.    Specific Performance; Remedies; Attorneys’ Fees. The parties hereto acknowledge that money damages are not an adequate remedy for breaches of this Agreement, that any breach of this Agreement would cause irreparable harm to the non-breaching party and that any party, in addition to any other rights and remedies which the parties may have hereunder or at law or in equity, may, in its sole discretion, apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance or injunction in order to enforce this Agreement or prevent any violation hereof and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, each party waives any objection to the imposition of such relief. Each party further agrees that it will not seek, and agrees to waive any requirement for, the securing or posting of a bond in connection with the other party’s seeking or obtaining such equitable relief. All rights, powers and remedies provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity shall be cumulative and not alternative, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise of any such right, power or remedy by any party shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise of any other such rights, powers or remedies by such party.

Section 5.    Term of Agreement; Termination. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the date hereof and will terminate upon the earliest of (a) the Effective Time, (b) the date of termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, (c) the Board of Directors of MCBI submitting the Merger Agreement to the Company’s shareholders without a recommendation for approving the Merger Agreement or otherwise making an Adverse MCBI Recommendation Charge in accordance with Section 2.14 of the Merger Agreement or (d) upon the written agreement of the parties hereto. Upon such termination, no party shall have any further obligations or liabilities hereunder; provided, however, that such termination shall not relieve any party from liability for any willful breach of this Agreement that occurred prior to such termination.

Section 6.    Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and contains the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may not be amended, supplemented or modified, and no provisions hereof may be modified or waived, except by an instrument in writing signed by each party hereto. No waiver of any provisions hereof by either party shall be deemed a waiver of any other provision hereof by any such party, nor shall any such waiver be deemed a continuing waiver of any provision hereof by such party.

Section 7.    Severability. In the event that any one or more provisions of this Agreement shall for any reason be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, by any court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Agreement and the parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to substitute a valid, legal and enforceable provision which, insofar as practical, implements the purposes and intents of this Agreement.

Section 8.    Capacity as Shareholder. This Agreement shall apply to Shareholder solely in his or her capacity as a shareholder of MCBI and it shall not apply in any manner to Shareholder in his or her capacity as a director, officer or employee of MCBI. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to apply to, or limit in any manner, the obligations of Shareholder to comply with his or her fiduciary duties as a director or officer of MCBI, if applicable.

Section 9.    Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and interpreted in accordance with, the internal, substantive laws of the State of Delaware, without regard for the law or principles of conflict of laws.

Section 10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THE ACTIONS OF THE PARTIES IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT.

EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.

Section 11.    Waiver of Appraisal Rights; Further Assurances. Provided that the Merger is consummated in compliance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, that the consideration offered pursuant to the Merger is not less than that specified in the Merger Agreement executed on or about the date hereof, and that this Agreement has not been terminated in accordance with its terms, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Shareholder hereby waives any rights of appraisal or rights to dissent from the Merger or demand fair value for his or her Shares in connection with the Merger, in each case, that Shareholder may have under applicable law. From time to time prior to the termination of this Agreement, at HOMB’s prior request, the undersigned will take all reasonable actions and make all reasonable efforts, and will execute and deliver all such further agreements, documents, certificates, instruments, proxies and voting instructions, in order to fulfill his or her agreements and obligations contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, the agreement of the undersigned to vote the Shares in accordance with Section 1 hereof. Shareholder further agrees, unless this Agreement has been terminated pursuant to Section 5(b), 5(c) or 5(d) above, not to commence or participate in, and to take all actions necessary to opt out of any class in any class action with respect to, any claim, derivative or otherwise, against HOMB, Centennial, MCBI, Target Bank or any of their respective successors relating to the negotiation, execution or delivery of this Agreement or the Merger Agreement or the consummation of the Merger, other than any claim related to his right to receive the consideration provided for in the Merger Agreement upon consummation of the Mergers (including in respect of MCBI Restricted Shares held by the undersigned) and the rights of the undersigned under Section 5.11 of the Merger Agreement as an Indemnitee.

Section 12.    Disclosure. Shareholder hereby authorizes MCBI and HOMB to publish and disclose in any announcement or disclosure required by the SEC and in the Proxy Statement-Prospectus such Shareholder’s identity and ownership of the Shares and the nature of Shareholder’s obligations under this Agreement.

Section 13.    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one instrument.

President and Chief Executive Officer

    

Conway, AR and Knoxville, TN — Home BancShares, Inc. (NYSE: HOMB) (“Home BancShares” or "HOMB"), the parent company of Centennial Bank, and Mountain Commerce Bancorp, Inc. (OTCQX: MCBI) (“Mountain Commerce” or “MCBI”), the parent company of Mountain Commerce Bank, jointly announced today that they have entered into a definitive merger agreement pursuant to which Home BancShares will acquire Mountain Commerce in an all-stock merger, with Home BancShares as the surviving entity.

The combination grants Home BancShares access to the high-growth Knoxville, Nashville, and Johnson City MSAs. Knoxville, Tennessee has been ranked by moveBuddha as the next hot city to move to in 20261. The city is celebrated for its Southern charm, vibrant college-town energy and its location at the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains. The combination positions Home BancShares to expand further into Tennessee and potentially acquire additional institutions over time.

Under the terms of the definitive merger agreement, which was unanimously approved by the Board of Directors of both companies, Mountain Commerce shareholders upon closing of the merger will receive 0.850 shares of Home BancShares stock for each share of Mountain Commerce common stock they own and will begin receiving quarterly dividends declared by Home BancShares with record dates following the closing. Based on a volume-weighted average closing price per share of Home BancShares stock of $27.66 during the 20-trading-day period ending on December 5, 2025, the per share implied consideration value is $23.51 and the aggregate implied transaction value is approximately $150.1 million.

The transaction is consistent with Home BancShares’s M&A track record and is expected to be immediately triple accretive: resulting in increases to earnings per share of 1.4%2 and 3.0%2 for 2026 and 2027, respectively; book value per share of 0.7% and tangible book value per share of 0.2%. Following the completion of this transaction, Home BancShares will continue to have a robust capital position along with an improved operating profile. The pro forma bank will be approximately $25.0 billion3 in assets, $17.0 billion3 in loans and $19.2 billion3 in deposits and will be one of the 75 largest banks headquartered in the United States4.

“Mountain Commerce is proud to join forces with one of the top-performing banks in the country,” said William E. “Bill” Edwards, III, Chief Executive Officer and founder of Mountain Commerce. “This partnership provides resources, through HOMB’s strong balance sheet and capital position, to allow our talented team of bankers to flourish. There is a lot more work to be done in Tennessee to take advantage of the market opportunity and we are eager and ready to grow.”

John Allison, Co-Founder, Chairman, President and CEO of Home BancShares, stated, “Tennessee is a great state. Tennessee, Texas and Florida may be the three best states in the nation. Everyone is aware of Nashville’s growth, but you may not be aware that Knoxville was ranked #1 by moveBuddha as the most popular city to move to for 2026. We look forward to being in these vibrant Tennessee markets and are looking forward to Mountain Commerce being our base to build out other markets in the state, with Bill Edwards, founder of MCBI, and his seasoned team of talented bankers leading the way. We waited patiently to make our next acquisition to ensure we partnered up with a good quality bank in a strong market, and I am extremely pleased about what the future holds for HOMB and MCBI in the Volunteer State.”

The merger is expected to close early in the first half of 2026, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including receipt of customary regulatory approvals and approval by the shareholders of Mountain Commerce.
