THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “Agreement”), dated as of September 16,
2026, is by and between Bank7 Corp., an Oklahoma corporation (“Buyer”), and Century Financial Services Corporation, a New Mexico corporation (“Century”).
RECITALS
WHEREAS, certain outstanding shares of Century common stock held by the Peters Family
Group representing approximately 71% of the outstanding shares of Century (the “Receivership Shares”) are subject to a receivership appointed pursuant to orders of the United States District Court for the District of Arizona (the “Court”)
in KS StateBank Corporation v. Kathleen K. Peters, et al., Case No. CV-25-02576-PHX-ROS (the “Receivership Proceeding”)
WHEREAS, Buyer is a party to that certain Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 1,
2026, by and between Buyer and MCA Financial Group Ltd., and specifically Morris C. Aaron and/or Keith Bierman, solely in its/their capacity as court-appointed receiver (the “Receiver”), appointed pursuant to orders of the Court in the
Receivership Proceeding, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as September 3, 2026 (as amended, the “Receivership Share Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which, Buyer has agreed to purchase the
Receivership Shares from the Receiver.
WHEREAS, in order to effect a whole company transaction in lieu of a purchase of a
controlling interest under the Receivership Share Purchase Agreement, the Buyer is willing to enter into this Agreement.
WHEREAS, the Boards of Directors of Buyer and Century have determined that it is in the
best interests of their respective companies and shareholders to consummate the strategic business combination transaction provided for in this Agreement, pursuant to which Century will, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein,
merge with and into Buyer (the “Merger”), so that Buyer is the surviving entity (in such capacity, the “Surviving Entity”) in the Merger.
WHEREAS, the Boards of Directors of Buyer and Century have determined that it is in the
best interests of their respective companies and shareholders to consummate the Merger pursuant to the terms of this Agreement in lieu of the transactions contemplated by the Receivership Share Purchase Agreement, with Buyer reserving all
rights under the Receivership Share Purchase Agreement.
WHEREAS, in furtherance thereof, the respective Boards of Directors of Buyer and Century
have approved the Merger and adopted this Agreement and Century has resolved to submit this Agreement to its shareholders for approval and to recommend that their respective shareholders approve this Agreement.
WHEREAS, as a condition and material inducement and as additional consideration to Buyer
to enter into this Agreement, as of the date hereof, each of the directors and executive officers of Century and Century Bank who hold shares of Century Common Stock, each member of the Peters Family Group, the Receiver, and certain minority
shareholders of Century have entered into, or pursuant to the terms hereof, will enter into, a voting agreement with Buyer (the “Century Voting Agreements”), generally in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.
WHEREAS, Buyer reserves all rights it has under the Receivership Share Purchase
Agreement and, if this Agreement is terminated for any reason, Buyer intends to proceed with closing the transactions contemplated by the Receivership Share Purchase Agreement in accordance with its terms.
WHEREAS, for federal income tax purposes, it is intended that the Merger shall qualify
as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and this Agreement is intended to be and is adopted as a plan of reorganization for purposes of Sections 354 and
361 of the Code.
WHEREAS, the Parties desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and
agreements in connection with the Merger and also prescribe certain conditions to the Merger.
WHEREAS, capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined herein are
defined in Section 10.1(a) of this Agreement.
ARTICLE 1
THE MERGER
1.1 Merger. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in accordance with the
Oklahoma General Corporation Act (the “OGCA”) and the New Mexico Business Corporation Act (the “NMBCA”) at the Effective Time, Century shall merge with and into Buyer pursuant to this Agreement. Buyer shall be the Surviving
Entity, and shall continue its corporate existence under the Laws of the State of Oklahoma. Upon consummation of the Merger, the separate corporate existence of Century shall terminate.
1.2 Time and Place of Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the closing
of the Merger (the “Closing”) will take place by electronic exchange of documents at 10:00 a.m., Central time, on a date which shall be (i) no later than five (5) Business Days after the satisfaction or waiver (subject to applicable Law)
of all of the conditions set forth in Article 8 hereof (other than those conditions that by their nature can only be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver thereof); provided that, upon the election of
Buyer, the Parties shall cause the Closing to occur no later than the first calendar day of the calendar month following the calendar month in which the satisfaction or waiver (subject to applicable Law) of all of the conditions set forth in Article
8 hereof first occurs (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver thereof), unless another date, time or place is agreed to in writing by Buyer and
Century. The date on which the Closing occurs is referred to as the “Closing Date.”
1.3 Effective Time. On or (if agreed by Buyer and Century) prior to the Closing Date, Buyer and
Century, respectively, shall cause to be filed a certificate of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Oklahoma (the “Oklahoma Secretary”) in accordance with the OGCA and articles of merger with the Secretary of State of the
State of New Mexico (the “New Mexico Secretary”) pursuant to the NMBCA (the “Certificates of Merger”). The Merger shall become effective at such time as agreed upon by Buyer and Century and specified in the Certificates of Merger
in accordance with the relevant provisions of the OGCA and the NMBCA, or at such other time as shall be provided by applicable Law (such time hereinafter referred to as the “Effective Time”).
1.4 Charter of Surviving Entity. At the Effective Time, the Buyer Certificate of Incorporation,

1.7 Bank Merger. As soon as practicable following the Merger, but not as a condition to closing
the Merger, Century Bank, a New Mexico state-chartered non-member bank and a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Century, will merge (the “Bank Merger”) with and into Bank7, an Oklahoma state-chartered Federal Reserve member bank and a
wholly-owned Subsidiary of Buyer. Bank7 shall be the surviving entity in the Bank Merger (the “Surviving Bank”) and, following the Bank Merger, the separate corporate existence of Century Bank shall cease. The Bank Merger shall be

Century. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Federal Reserve” means the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or a Federal Reserve Bank acting under the appropriately delegated authority thereof, as applicable. If the
Bank Merger does not occur immediately following the Effective Time, Century will cause certain members of the Century Bank Board of Directors to resign effective immediately following the Effective Time in accordance with Section 7.21.
1.8 Tax Treatment of the Merger. It is intended that the Merger shall qualify as a
“reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and that this Agreement is intended to be and is adopted as a plan of reorganization for the purposes of Sections 354 and 361 of the Code.
ARTICLE 2
MANNER OF CONVERTING SHARES
2.1 Conversion of Shares. Subject to the provisions of this Article 2, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Buyer, Century, or
the shareholders of either of the foregoing, the shares of the consolidated corporations shall be converted as follows:
(a) Each share of capital stock of Buyer issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain an issued and outstanding share of capital stock of Buyer from and
after the Effective Time and shall not be affected by the Merger.
(b) All shares of capital stock of Century issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that are held by Century as treasury stock or otherwise held by Century, any
Century Subsidiary, Buyer or any Buyer Subsidiary (in each case other than shares held in any fiduciary or agency capacity or as a result of debts previously contracted, collectively, the “Canceled Shares”) shall automatically be
canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no payment shall be made with respect thereto.
(c) Each share of Century Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding the Canceled Shares and Dissenters’ Shares) shall be converted, in
accordance with the terms of this Section 2.1(c) and Article 3, into and exchanged for the right to receive both (i) a cash payment, without interest, in an amount equal to the Per Share Cash Consideration and (ii) the Per Share Stock
Consideration.
(d) Each share of Century Common Stock, when so converted pursuant to Section 2.1(c), shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a
certificate (a ”Certificate”) or book-entry share (a “Book-Entry Share”) registered in the transfer books of Century that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares of Century Common Stock shall cease to have any
rights with respect to such Century Common Stock other than the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 2.1(c), including the right, if any, to receive pursuant to Section 2.4, a Fractional Share
Payment payable with respect to such Century Common Stock or any dividends or distributions pursuant to Section 3.1(e).
2.2 Anti-Dilution Provisions. Without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement and subject
to Sections 6.2(c)(i) and (iv), if, prior to the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Buyer Common Stock or Century Common Stock shall have been increased, decreased, changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or
securities 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 Per Share Cash Consideration and Per Share Stock Consideration to give Buyer and the holders of Century Common Stock the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior
to such event; provided, that nothing contained in this sentence shall be construed to permit Century or Buyer to take any action with respect to its securities or otherwise that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement. For the avoidance
of doubt, Buyer shall have the right to grant additional Buyer Equity Awards without triggering an adjustment to the Per Share Cash Consideration or the Per Share Stock Consideration under this Section 2.2.
2.3 Treatment of Century Phantom Stock Awards. At the Effective Time, each phantom stock plan
unit (each, a “Century PSP Unit”) granted pursuant to the Century Bank 2017 Phantom Stock Plan, a list of which as of the date hereof is set forth in Section 2.3 of the Century Disclosure Memorandum, outstanding immediately prior
to the Effective Time shall vest in accordance with the terms of the applicable award letter and, conditioned upon the holder thereof executing and delivering to Buyer a settlement and release agreement,
within ten (10) Business Days of the Effective Time, Buyer shall pay the holder of such Century PSP Unit a cash amount equal to the product of (a) the sum of (i) the Per Share Cash Consideration and (ii) the product obtained by multiplying the
Buyer Stock Value by the Exchange Ratio, multiplied by (b) the number of Century PSP Units awarded to such holder. Buyer shall withhold from such cash payment, and pay over to the appropriate taxing authorities, all amounts required to be
withheld under federal and, if applicable, state Tax Laws.
2.4 Fractional Shares. No certificate, book-entry share or scrip representing fractional shares
of Buyer Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, no dividend or distribution of Buyer shall be payable on or with respect to any such fractional share interests, and such fractional
share interests will not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a shareholder of Buyer. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each holder of shares of Century Common Stock exchanged pursuant to the Merger
who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Buyer Common Stock (after taking into account all Certificates or Book-Entry Shares delivered by such holder) shall receive, in lieu thereof, a cash payment, rounded up
to the nearest cent (without interest), which payment shall be determined by multiplying (a) the fraction of a share (rounded to the nearest thousandth when expressed in decimal form) of Buyer Common Stock that such holder of shares of Century
Common Stock would otherwise have been entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.1(c) by (b) the Buyer Stock Value (the “Fractional Share Payment”).
2.5 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary,
shares of Century Common Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and which are held by a shareholder who did not vote in favor of the Merger (or consent thereto in writing) and who properly demanded payment of the
fair value of such shares in accordance with the applicable provisions of the NMBCA (collectively, the “Dissenters’ Shares”) shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive the Per Share 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 applicable provisions of the NMBCA (and at the Effective Time, such Dissenters’ Shares shall no longer be outstanding
and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist and such holder shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the rights provided for pursuant to the applicable provisions of the NMBCA and this Section 2.5, except
that all Dissenters’ Shares held by shareholders who have failed to perfect or who effectively shall have withdrawn or otherwise lost their rights as dissenting shareholders under the NMBCA 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 Per Share Merger Consideration upon surrender in the manner provided in Section 2.1(c) of the certificate(s) that,
immediately prior to the Effective Time, evidenced such shares. Century shall give Buyer (i) prompt notice of any written notices to exercise dissenters’ rights in respect of any shares of Century Common Stock, attempted withdrawals of such
notices and any other instruments served pursuant to the NMBCA and received by Century relating to dissenters’ rights and (ii) the opportunity to participate in negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for fair value under the
NMBCA. Century shall not, except with the prior written consent of Buyer, voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle, or offer or agree to settle, any such demand for payment. Any portion of the Aggregate Cash Consideration set
aside by Buyer pursuant to Section 3.1 to pay for shares of Century Common Stock for which dissenters’ rights have been perfected shall be returned to Buyer upon demand. Any amounts paid to a holder of Dissenters’ Shares shall not reduce the
Per Share Merger Consideration paid to other holders of shares of Century Common Stock.

3.1 Exchange Procedures.
(a) Deposit of Merger Consideration. Buyer shall act as the exchange agent (in such capacity, the “Exchange Agent”) for the payment and exchange of the Aggregate Merger
Consideration to the holders of record of shares of Century Common Stock (excluding the Canceled Shares and Dissenters’ Shares) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (individually, a “Holder” and, collectively,
the “Holders”). At or immediately prior to the Effective Time, Buyer shall set aside for the benefit of the Holders, for exchange in accordance with this Article 3, (i) evidence of shares of Buyer Common Stock in book-entry form,
issuable pursuant to Section 2.1(c), in an amount equal to the Aggregate Stock Consideration and bearing the restrictive legend or subject to the equivalent book-entry restrictions contemplated by Section 7.1(a), and (ii)
immediately available funds, to the extent determinable, for (A) the Aggregate Cash Consideration, (B) any Fractional Share Payments, and (C) after the Effective Time, if applicable, any dividends or distributions which such Holders have the
right to receive pursuant to Section 3.1(e) (collectively, the “Exchange Fund”). Buyer may invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund, provided, that no such investment or losses thereon shall affect the amounts payable to the
Holders. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be retained by Buyer. Buyer shall timely issue, or cause to be issued, the Per Share Merger Consideration and pay the Fractional Share Payment, dividends or
distributions, if any, in accordance with this Agreement.
(b) Letter of Transmittal. No later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Buyer, with the support of Century, shall mail or otherwise cause to be delivered to
each Holder who has not previously submitted an Accredited Investor Certificate and surrendered such Certificate(s) or Book-Entry Shares, appropriate and customary transmittal materials, which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and
risk of loss and title to the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares to Buyer, as well as instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry
Shares in exchange for the Per Share Merger Consideration (including any Fractional Share Payment) to which such Holder is entitled as provided for in this Agreement (the “Letter of Transmittal”). The Letter of Transmittal shall also
include customary investment representations and acknowledgments from each Holder reasonably requested by Buyer in connection with the Buyer Share Issuance, including acknowledgments that the Holder is an “accredited investor” as such term is
defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act, is acquiring such shares for investment and not with a view to distribution, has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters (or is represented by a
knowledgeable adviser) as is necessary to evaluate the investment, and understands that such shares are restricted securities that may not be offered, sold, pledged, assigned or otherwise transferred absent registration under the Securities Act
or an available exemption therefrom, together with such information as Buyer reasonably requests to establish compliance with applicable Securities Laws.
(c) Delivery of Merger Consideration. Buyer shall pay the Per Share Merger Consideration and Fractional Share Payments in accordance with this Agreement as promptly as
practicable after the Effective Time and conditioned upon receipt of a properly completed Letter of Transmittal and Accredited Investor Certificate. Buyer shall not be obligated to deliver any Per Share Merger Consideration to a Holder to which
such Holder would otherwise be entitled as a result of the Merger until such Holder surrenders the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares representing the shares of Century Common Stock for exchange as provided in this Article 3, or, an appropriate
affidavit of loss and indemnity agreement and/or a bond in such amount as may be reasonably required by Buyer. No interest will be paid or accrued for the benefit of Holders on the Per Share Merger Consideration or any Fractional Share Payment
(if any) payable upon the surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares.
(d) Share Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, the share transfer books of Century shall be closed, and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of
shares of Century Common Stock. From and after the Effective Time, shareholders who held shares of Century Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have rights with respect to such shares, except as otherwise
provided for herein. Until surrendered for exchange in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.1, each Certificate or Book-Entry Share theretofore representing shares of Century Common Stock (other than the Canceled Shares or
Dissenters’ Shares) shall from and after the Effective Time represent for all purposes only the right to receive the consideration provided in this Agreement in exchange therefor, subject, however, to the Buyer’s obligation to pay any dividends
or make any other distributions with a record date prior to the Effective Time which have been declared or made by Century in respect of such shares of Century Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and which remain unpaid
at the Effective Time. On or after the Effective Time, any Certificates or Book-Entry Shares presented to the Surviving Entity for any reason shall be canceled and exchanged for the Per Share Merger Consideration, any Fractional Share Payment
(if any) and any dividends or distributions (if any) pursuant to Section 3.1(e) with respect to the shares of Century Common Stock formerly represented thereby.
(e) Dividends with Respect to Buyer Common Stock. No dividends or other distributions declared with respect to Buyer Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time
shall be paid to the Holder of any unsurrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Shares with respect to the whole shares of Buyer Common Stock issuable with respect to such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares in accordance with this Agreement until the
surrender of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) in accordance with this Agreement and the receipt by Buyer of the Holder’s Accredited Investor Certificate. Subject to applicable Laws, following
surrender of any such Certificate or Book-Entry Share (or affidavit of loss and other documentation required by Buyer hereunder in lieu thereof) there shall be paid to the record holder of the whole shares of Buyer Common Stock, if any, issued
in exchange therefor, without interest, (i) all dividends and other distributions payable in respect of any such whole shares of Buyer Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time and a payment date on or prior to the date of such
surrender and not previously paid, 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 with a payment date subsequent to such
surrender payable with respect to such shares of Buyer Common Stock.
(f) No Liability. None of Buyer, Century, the Surviving Entity, or any of their respective affiliates, or any employee, officer, director, agent or affiliate of any of them,
shall be liable to any Holder in respect of any amount that would have otherwise been payable in respect of any Certificate or Book-Entry Shares from the Exchange Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned
property, escheat or similar Law.
(g) Withholding Rights. Buyer, in its capacity as the Exchange Agent, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Per Share Cash Consideration, Fractional Share Payments,
dividends or distributions payable pursuant to Article 2 or any other cash amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any person such amounts or property (or portions thereof) as Buyer, in its capacity as the Exchange Agent, is
required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment or distribution under the Code, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or any provision of applicable Tax Law. If Buyer intends to deduct or withhold any
amount required by Law from any payment made to any Holder in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder, Buyer shall provide at least three (3) Business Days’ advance notice of the intent to withhold such amounts and use
commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with such Holder to mitigate, reduce or eliminate such deduction or withholding. To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Entity by Buyer
such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Buyer.
(h) Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, then upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Certificate
to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Entity, the posting by such person of a bond in such reasonable and customary amount as the Surviving Entity may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against
it with respect to such Certificate, the Surviving Entity will issue, or cause to be issued, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Per Share Merger Consideration (including any Fractional Share Payment and any
applicable dividends or other distributions with respect to Buyer Common Stock) to which the Holder thereof is entitled pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer commits and agrees that it will not require a surety bond
from any Holder who will be receiving less than $50,000 in consideration in exchange for a missing Certificate.
(i) Transferred Ownership. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Century Common Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of Century, payment of the Per Share
Merger Consideration (including any Fractional Share Payment and any applicable dividends or other distributions with respect to Buyer Common Stock) may be made to a person other than the person in whose name the Certificate or Book-Entry
Shares so surrendered are registered if such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer or such Book-Entry Shares shall be properly transferred to the satisfaction of Buyer and the person requesting such
issuance shall pay any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the payment to a person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares or establish to the satisfaction of Buyer that such Tax has been paid or is
not applicable.

representation and warranty set forth in this Agreement that is specifically identified (by cross-reference or otherwise) in the Century Disclosure Memorandum and (b) any other representation and warranty in this Article 4 to the extent
that the relevance of such exception to such other representation and warranty is reasonably apparent on the face of the disclosure (without need to examine underlying documentation)), Century hereby represents and warrants to Buyer as follows:

duly qualified or licensed to transact business as a foreign corporation in good standing in each jurisdiction in which its ownership of its Assets or conduct of its business requires such qualification or licensure, except where failure to be
so qualified or licensed has not had or would not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on Century. Century is a bank holding company duly registered with the Federal Reserve under
the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHC Act”). True, complete and correct copies of the articles of incorporation of Century, as amended (the “Century Articles of Incorporation”) and the bylaws of Century, as

Adverse Effect on Century. True, complete and correct copies of the articles of incorporation and bylaws of Century Bank, each as in effect as of the date of this Agreement, have been delivered or made available to Buyer. Century Bank is an
“insured depository institution” as defined in the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended, and applicable regulations thereunder, and the deposits held by Century Bank are insured by the FDIC’s Deposit
Insurance Fund (as defined in Section 3(y) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act of 1950 (the “Bank Merger Act”)) to the fullest extent permitted by Law, all premiums and assessments required to be paid in connection therewith have been
paid when due, and no proceedings for the termination of such insurance are pending or, to Century’s knowledge, threatened.

Subsidiary”), indicating for each such Century Subsidiary its respective jurisdiction of organization and amount and ownership of equity securities thereof issued and outstanding and the owner thereof. Except with regard to Century

operate its properties and Assets and to carry on its business as now conducted. There are no restrictions on the ability of Century or any Century Subsidiary to pay dividends or distributions except, in the case of Century or a Subsidiary
that is a regulated entity, for restrictions on dividends or distributions generally applicable to all similarly regulated entities. There is no person whose results of operations, cash flows, changes in shareholders’ equity or financial
position are consolidated in the financial statements of Century other than the Century Subsidiaries.

and any of the foregoing in respect of Subsidiaries of Century, collectively, “Century Subsidiary Securities”). Except as set forth in Section 4.2(a) of the Century Disclosure Memorandum, no equity-based awards (including any cash
awards where the amount of payment is determined, in whole or in part, based on the price of any capital stock of Century or any of its Subsidiaries) are outstanding. Section 4.2(a) of the Century Disclosure Memorandum sets forth (i) each

Century Subsidiaries, free and clear of any liens, claims, title defects, mortgages, pledges, charges, encumbrances and security interests whatsoever, and any other encumbrances securing a payment or the performance of an obligation
(collectively, “Liens”), and all such shares or equity ownership interests are duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid, nonassessable (except, with respect to Subsidiaries that are depository institutions, as provided
under 12 U.S.C. § 55 or under comparable state Law (as applicable)) and free of preemptive rights, with no personal liability attaching to the ownership thereof. Except for the capital stock or other
voting securities of, or ownership interests in, the Century Subsidiaries, Century does not own, directly or indirectly, any capital stock or other voting securities of, or ownership interests in, any person. No Subsidiary of Century has or
is bound by any outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants, rights of first refusal or similar rights, puts, calls, rights, exchangeable or convertible securities or other commitments or agreements of any character obligating the purchase

basis.

has no debt that is secured by Century Bank capital stock or that has a right to vote on any matters on which shareholders may vote.
(f) Systems and Processes. Century and each Century Subsidiary have in place sufficient systems and processes that are customary for a financial institution the size of Century

financial statements, including the Call Reports, or the accounting or auditing practices, procedures, methodologies or methods (including with respect to loan loss reserves, write-downs, charge-offs and accruals) of Century or any Century
Subsidiary or their respective internal accounting controls, including any complaint, allegation, assertion or claim that Century or any Century Subsidiary has engaged in questionable accounting or auditing practices. Since December 31, 2024,

violation by Century or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, or agents to the board of directors of Century or any committee thereof or the Board of Directors or similar governing body of any
Century Subsidiary or any committee thereof, or to the knowledge of Century, to any director or officer of Century or any Century Subsidiary.
(g) Internal Controls. Century’s internal control over financial reporting is effective to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of Century’s financial
reporting and the preparation of the Century Financial Statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. Century’s internal control over financial reporting is effective to provide reasonable assurance (i) regarding the maintenance of
records, that in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and disposition of Century’s consolidated Assets; (ii) that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of the Century Financial Statements
in accordance with GAAP and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorizations of Century’s management and directors; and (iii) regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or
disposition of Century’s consolidated Assets that would have a material impact on the Century Financial Statements.

of the Leases, and, except as set forth on Section 4.20(c) of the Century Disclosure Memorandum and specifically identified as such, no consent of or notice to any third party is required as a consequence thereof. Century has made available to
Buyer true, correct and complete copies of the Leases, and no Lease has been modified in any respect since the date it was made available. Except as set forth on Section 4.20(c) of the Century Disclosure Memorandum, none of the property subject

(f) Buyer maintains a written information privacy and security program that maintains reasonable measures to protect the privacy, confidentiality and security of all Personal Data and

properly administered all accounts for which it acts as a fiduciary, including accounts for which it serves as a trustee, agent, custodian, personal representative, guardian, conservator or investment advisor, in accordance with the terms of

to Buyer’s knowledge, threatened against Buyer, which Liability or obligation would reasonably be expected to, either individually or in the aggregate, be material to Buyer. To the knowledge of Buyer, there is no reasonable basis for any such

(d) knowingly take, or fail to take, any action, which action or failure to act prevents or impedes, or could
reasonably be expected to prevent or impede the Merger from qualifying as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code; or
(e) agree to take, make any commitment to take, or adopt any resolutions of the Board of Directors of Buyer in
support of, any of the actions prohibited by this Section 6.3.
6.4 Reports. Subject to Section 10.15,
Century and its Subsidiaries shall also make available to Buyer monthly financial statements, copies of all written materials provided to members of Century’s Board of Directors in connection with its regular monthly meetings (other than
reports or presentations prepared by Century’s advisors and legal counsel in connection with the Merger) and quarterly Call Reports.
ARTICLE 7
ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS
7.1 Regulatory Matters.
(a) Promptly after the date of this Agreement, Buyer and Century shall prepare and the Proxy Statement. Century
shall cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed or otherwise delivered to Century’s shareholders no later than ten (10) Business Days following the date of this Agreement. Buyer shall take all commercially reasonable efforts to cause the
shares of Buyer Common Stock constituting the Aggregate Stock Consideration to be issued a private placement pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
The shares so issued shall be “restricted securities” and shall bear a customary restrictive legend (or be subject to equivalent book-entry restrictions) stating that such shares may not be offered, sold, pledged, assigned or otherwise
transferred absent registration under the Securities Act or an available exemption therefrom. Buyer shall also use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all necessary state securities Law or “Blue Sky” permits and approvals
required to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and Century shall furnish all information concerning Century and the holders of Century Common Stock as may be reasonably requested in connection with any such action.
If at any time prior to the Effective Time any information relating to Buyer or Century, or any of their respective affiliates, officers or directors, should be discovered by Buyer or Century which should be set forth in an amendment or
supplement to the Proxy Statement so that the Proxy Statement 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 Party hereto and, to the extent required by Law, rules or regulations, an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information
shall be promptly, to the extent required by Law, disseminated by Century to its shareholders.
(b) The Parties hereto shall reasonably cooperate with each other and use their commercially reasonable efforts to
promptly prepare and file all necessary documentation, to effect all applications, notices, petitions and filings (and in the case of applications, notices, petitions and filings in respect of the Requisite Regulatory Approvals, use their
commercially reasonable efforts to make such filings within ten (10) days of the date of this Agreement), to obtain as promptly as practicable all permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all third parties and Governmental
Entities which are necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Merger and the Bank Merger), and to comply with the terms and conditions of all such permits, consents, approvals and
authorizations of all such Governmental Entities. The Parties hereto agree that they will consult with each other with respect to the obtaining of all permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all third parties and Governmental
Entities necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and each Party will keep the other apprised of the status of matters relating to completion of the transactions contemplated hereby. In
furtherance of the foregoing, Century shall have the right to review in advance, subject to applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information, all the non-confidential portions of any filing made or proposed to be made with, or
written materials submitted or proposed to be submitted to, any Governmental Entity after the date hereof in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and Buyer shall consider in good faith Century’s comments to such
filings and materials. In exercising the foregoing right, each of the parties hereto shall act reasonably and as promptly as practicable. Buyer and Century will, upon request, furnish the other Party with all information concerning itself,
its Subsidiaries, directors, officers and shareholders and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with any filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of such other Party or any of its
Subsidiaries with or to any Regulatory Agency in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Merger and the Bank Merger). In exercising the foregoing right, each of the Parties hereto shall act reasonably
and as promptly as practicable. As used in this Agreement, “Requisite Regulatory Approvals” means all regulatory authorizations, consents, Orders or approvals or non-objections (and the expiration or termination of all statutory
waiting periods in respect thereof) (x) from the Federal Reserve and (y) set forth in Sections 4.4 and 5.4 that are necessary to consummate the Merger, or those the failure of which to be obtained would reasonably be
expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on the Surviving Entity.
(c) Each Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to respond to any request for information and resolve
any objection that may be asserted by any Governmental Entity with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to require Buyer or
Century or any of their respective Subsidiaries, and neither Buyer nor Century nor any of their respective Subsidiaries shall be permitted (without the written consent of the other Party), to take any action, or commit to take any action,
or commit to refrain from taking any action, or agree to any condition, limitation, or restriction, in connection with obtaining the foregoing permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of Governmental Entities or resolving any
objections that may be asserted by any Governmental Entity, in each case, that would (i) reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect, or impair, the economic or business benefits of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
to Buyer and the Surviving Entity or (ii) reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Surviving Entity and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, after giving effect to the Merger and the Bank Merger ((i) or (ii) a “Materially
Burdensome Regulatory Condition”); provided, however, that the following shall not be deemed to be included in the preceding list and shall not be deemed a “Materially Burdensome Regulatory Condition”: any restraint, limitation, term,
requirement, provision or condition that applies generally to financial or bank holding companies and banks as provided by any applicable Law or written and publicly available supervisory guidance of general applicability, in each case, as
in effect on the date hereof.
(d) To the extent permitted by applicable Law, Buyer and Century shall, upon request, furnish each other with all
information concerning themselves, their Subsidiaries, directors, officers and shareholders and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with the Proxy Statement, the Resale Registration Statement, or any
other statement, filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of Buyer, Century or any of their respective Subsidiaries to any Governmental Entity in connection with the Merger, the Bank Merger and the other transactions contemplated
by this Agreement.
(e) To the extent permitted by applicable Law, Buyer and Century shall promptly advise each other upon receiving any
communication from any Governmental Entity whose consent, waiver, approval or authorization is required for consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement that causes such Party to believe that there is a reasonable
likelihood that any Requisite Regulatory Approval will not be obtained or that the receipt of any such consent, waiver, approval or authorization will be materially delayed.
7.2 Access to Information;
Confidentiality.
(a) Prior to the Effective Time, subject to Section 10.15, Century shall permit, and cause each of its
Subsidiaries and the Representatives of Century and its Subsidiaries to afford to, the Representatives of Buyer to make or cause to be made such investigation of the business, Assets, information technology systems, Contracts, Books and
Records, and personnel and such other information of Century and its Subsidiaries and of their respective financial and legal conditions as Buyer may reasonably request and furnish to Buyer promptly all other information concerning its
business, Assets, information technology systems, Contracts, Books and Records, and personnel and such other information as Buyer may reasonably request, provided that such investigation or requests shall not unreasonably interfere with
normal operations of the Party. No investigation by Buyer shall affect or be deemed to modify or waive the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Century in this Agreement, or the conditions of Buyer’s obligation to
consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Neither Buyer nor Century nor any of their respective Subsidiaries shall be required to provide access to or to disclose information where such access or disclosure would violate
or prejudice the rights of Buyer’s or Century’s, as the case may be, customers, jeopardize the attorney-client privilege of the institution in possession or control of such information (after giving due consideration to the existence of any
common interest, joint defense or similar agreement between the Parties) or contravene any Law, fiduciary duty or binding Contract entered into prior to the date of this Agreement. The Parties will make appropriate substitute arrangements
to permit reasonable disclosure under circumstances in which the restrictions of the preceding sentence apply.
(b) Each of Buyer and Century shall hold all information furnished by or on behalf of the other Party or any of
such Party’s Subsidiaries or representatives pursuant to Section 7.2(a) in confidence to the extent required by, and in accordance with, the provisions of the non-disclosure agreement, dated December 9, 2025, between Buyer and Century (the
“Confidentiality Agreement”).
7.3 Non-Control Nothing contained in this
Agreement shall give either Party, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the operations of the other Party prior to the Effective Time. Prior to the Effective Time, each Party shall exercise, consistent with the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, complete control and supervision over its and its Subsidiaries’ respective operations.
7.4 Shareholder Approval.
(a) Century shall call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its shareholders (the “Century Meeting”)
within twenty (20) days of the date of this Agreement, for the purpose of obtaining (i) the Requisite Century Vote required in connection with this Agreement and the Merger, and (ii) if so desired and mutually agreed, a vote upon other
matters of the type customarily brought before a meeting of shareholders in connection with the approval of a merger agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby. Century and its Board of Directors shall use its commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain the Requisite Century Vote from the shareholders of Century including by communicating to the shareholders of Century its recommendation (and including such recommendation in the Proxy Statement) that the
shareholders of Century approve this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger (the “Century Board Recommendation”). Century and the Century Board of Directors shall not (i) withhold, withdraw, modify
or qualify, in a manner adverse to Buyer, the Century Board Recommendation, (ii) fail to make the Century Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement, (iii) adopt, approve, recommend or endorse an Acquisition Proposal or publicly announce
an intention to adopt, approve, recommend or endorse an Acquisition Proposal, (iv) fail to publicly and without qualification (A) recommend against any Acquisition Proposal, or (B) reaffirm the Century Board Recommendation within ten (10)
Business Days (or such fewer number of days as remains prior to the Century Meeting) after an Acquisition Proposal is made public or any request by Buyer to do so, or (v) publicly propose to do any of the foregoing (any of the foregoing a “Recommendation
Change”).
(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, subject to Section 9.1 and Section 9.2,
the Board of Directors of Century may, prior to the receipt of the Requisite Century Vote, (i) effect a Recommendation Change, if (A) the Board of Directors of Century has received after the date hereof a bona fide Acquisition Proposal
which did not result from a breach of Section 7.11(a), which it believes in good faith, after receiving the advice of its outside counsel and, with respect to financial matters, its financial advisors, constitutes a Superior Proposal and
(B) the Board of Directors of Century, after receiving the advice of its outside counsel and, with respect to financial matters, its financial advisors, determines in good faith that the failure to take such action would more likely than
not result in a violation of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided, that the Board of Directors of Century may not take any actions under this Section 7.4(b) unless it (1) gives Buyer at least five (5) Business Days’
prior written notice of its intention to take such action and a reasonable description of 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 latest material terms and conditions and the identity of the third party in any such Acquisition Proposal, or any amendment or modification thereof, or describe in reasonable detail such other event or
circumstances) and (2) at the end of such notice period, takes into account any amendment or modification to this Agreement proposed by Buyer and, after receiving the advice of its outside counsel and, with respect to financial matters, its
financial advisors, determines in good faith that it would nevertheless more likely than not result in a violation of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law to make or continue to make the Century Board Recommendation; and (ii) subject
to Century’s compliance with clause (i), terminate this Agreement in order to enter into an agreement with respect to such Acquisition Proposal, subject to Section 9.2(b)(ii). Any material amendment to any Acquisition Proposal will
be deemed to be a new Acquisition Proposal for purposes of this Section 7.4(b) and will require a new notice period as referred to in this Section 7.4(b). Century, unless Century has effected a Recommendation Change to the
extent permitted by and in accordance with this Section 7.4(b), shall adjourn or postpone the Century Meeting, if, as of the time for which such meeting is originally scheduled there are insufficient shares of Century Common Stock
represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of such meeting, or if on the date of such meeting Century has not received proxies representing a sufficient number of shares necessary to
obtain the Requisite Century Vote, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Century shall continue to use commercially reasonable efforts to solicit proxies from its shareholders, as applicable, in order to obtain the
Requisite Century Vote. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, unless this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms, the Century Meeting shall be convened and this Agreement shall be submitted to the
shareholders of Century, and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to relieve Century of such obligation.
7.5 Legal Conditions to the Merger. Subject in
all respects to Section 7.1 of this Agreement, each of Buyer and Century shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use their commercially reasonable efforts (a) to take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary, proper or
advisable to comply promptly with all legal requirements that may be imposed on such Party or its Subsidiaries with respect to the Merger and the Bank Merger and, subject to the conditions set forth in Article 8 hereof, to
consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (b) to obtain (and to reasonably cooperate with the other Party to obtain) any material consent, authorization, Order or approval of, or any non-objection or exemption by, any
Governmental Entity and any other third party that is required to be obtained by Century or Buyer or any of their respective Subsidiaries in connection with the Merger, the Bank Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this
Agreement.
7.6 Employee Matters.
(a) From and after the Effective Time, unless otherwise mutually determined by Century and Buyer prior to the
Effective Time, Buyer shall provide to employees of Century and its Subsidiaries who at the Effective Time become employees of Buyer or its Subsidiaries (the “Continuing Employees”) employee compensation and benefits under the Buyer
Benefit Plans on terms and conditions that are no less favorable in the aggregate as those that apply to similarly situated Buyer employees, and such Continuing Employees shall be eligible to participate in each applicable Buyer Benefit
Plan as set forth herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer and Century agree that, during the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the twelve (12)-month anniversary thereof, any Continuing Employee (in each case, other
than those employees who are terminated for cause (as determined in good faith by Buyer) or are party to individual agreements that provide for severance benefits) who is terminated by the Buyer or its Subsidiaries during such twelve
(12)-month period will be provided with severance as described in Section 7.6(a) of the Century and Buyer Disclosure Memorandums.
(b) For purposes of eligibility, participation, vesting and benefit accrual (except not for purposes of benefit
accrual under any defined benefit pension plan, for purposes of qualifying for subsidized early retirement benefits, or to the extent that such credit would result in a duplication of benefits) under the Buyer Benefit Plans or Century
Benefit Plans, service with or credited by Century or any of its Subsidiaries or predecessors for Continuing Employees shall be treated as service with Buyer to the same extent that such service was taken into account under the analogous
Century Benefit Plan prior to the Effective Time. With respect to any Century Benefit Plan or Buyer Benefit Plan in which any Continuing Employees first become eligible to participate on or after the Effective Time, and in which such
employees did not participate prior to the Effective Time, the Surviving Entity shall use commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) waive all preexisting conditions, exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage
requirements applicable to such employees and their eligible dependents, (ii) give each Continuing Employee service credit for such Continuing Employee’s employment with Century and its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time on the same
terms and to the same extent as prior service credit is recognized for employment prior to the Effective Time with Buyer and its Subsidiaries except to the extent it would result in a duplication of benefits, and (iii) cause each Buyer
Benefit Plan to give credit toward the satisfaction of any annual deductible limitation and out-of-pocket maximum under such plan for any deductible, co-payment, or other cost-sharing amounts previously paid by a Continuing Employee under
the corresponding Century Benefit Plan during that plan year prior to the Effective Time.
(c) Century shall take (or cause to be taken) all actions necessary or appropriate to terminate all Century Benefit
Plans, effective immediately preceding the Effective Time, other than those Century Benefit Plans set forth on Section 7.6(c)(1) of the Buyer Disclosure Memorandum. Specifically, to provide clarity and not by way of limitation, Century
shall terminate, and pay out prior to Closing all amounts due under, the Century Benefit Plans set forth in Section 7.6(c)(2) of the Century Disclosure Memorandum, in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and other
applicable Law. In addition, effective no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, Century shall take (or cause to be taken) all actions
necessary or appropriate to terminate the Century 401(k) Plan (the “Century 401(k) Plan”) in accordance with the requirements of applicable Law, and shall deliver to Buyer, at least five (5) calendar days prior to the Closing,
evidence that the Board of Directors of Century has adopted resolutions to terminate the Century 401(k) Plan (the form and substance of which resolutions shall be subject to review and approval of Buyer), effective no later than the date
immediately preceding the Closing Date. In the event that Century becomes aware prior to the Closing that distributions of assets from the trust of the Century 401(k) Plan which is terminated is reasonably anticipated to trigger liquidation
charges, surrender charges or other fees to be imposed upon the account of any participant or beneficiary of such terminated plan or upon Century or other plan sponsor, then Century shall take (or cause to be taken) such actions as are
necessary to reasonably estimate the amount of such charges and/or fees and provide such estimate in writing to Buyer prior to the Closing. Century shall take (or cause to be taken) such commercially reasonable other actions in furtherance
of terminating the Century 401(k) Plan as Buyer may reasonably require. Buyer shall take (or cause to be taken) such actions as are necessary (including amending Buyer’s 401(k) plan as needed) to allow Continuing Employees who become
eligible to participate in Buyer’s 401(k) Plan to roll over their Century 401(k) Plan accounts (including any outstanding loan balances) to Buyer’s 401(k) plan, subject to the terms of Buyer’s 401(k) plan and the requirements of applicable
Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, notify Century before the thirtieth (30th) day prior to the Closing Date that instead of the foregoing Buyer agrees to sponsor and maintain the Century
401(k) Plan, in which case Century shall amend the Century 401(k) Plan, effective as of the Closing, to the extent permitted by its terms and applicable Law as necessary to limit participation to employees of Century and its Subsidiaries
and to exclude all employees of Buyer and its affiliates (other than Century and its Subsidiaries) from participation in such plan.
(d) Nothing in this Section 7.6, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any other person any rights or
remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Section 7.6. Without limiting the foregoing, no provision of this Section 7.6 will create any third-party beneficiary rights in any current or former employee, officer, director,
or other service provider of Century or of its Subsidiaries in respect of continued or resumed employment of service, or any other employment-related matter. Nothing in this Section 7.6 is intended (i) to amend any Century Benefit Plan or
any Buyer or Bank7 benefit plan, (ii) interfere with the right of either Buyer or Bank7 from and after the Closing Date to amend or terminate any Century Benefit Plan that is not terminated prior to the Effective Time or amend or terminate
any Buyer or Bank7 benefit plan, or (iii) interfere with the right of either Buyer or Bank7 from and after the Effective Time to terminate the employment or provision of services by any employee, officer, director, or other service
provider.
(e) Prior to the Effective Time, any notices or communication materials (including website postings) from Century
or its Subsidiaries to their employees or other service providers regarding employment, compensation or benefits matters addressed in this Agreement or related, directly or indirectly, to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or
employment or compensation or benefits thereafter, shall be subject to the prior review, comment and approval of Buyer.
(f) No later than thirty (30) days following the Effective Time, Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid to each
Continuing Employee who was a participant in Century’s annual incentive program, an amount equal to such Continuing Employee’s accrued but unpaid bonus amount that was accrued by Century or Century Bank in accordance with such incentive
program.
7.7 Indemnification; Directors and
Officers’ Insurance.
(a) For a period of six years after the Effective Time, the Surviving Entity shall indemnify, defend and hold
harmless the present and former directors or officers of Century and each Century Subsidiary (each, an “Indemnified Party”), against all Liabilities incurred in connection with any Litigation arising out of or pertaining to, the fact
that such person is or was a director or officer of Century or a Century Subsidiary and pertaining to matters, acts or omissions existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including matters, acts or omissions occurring in
connection with the approval of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (each a “Claim”), whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, to the fullest extent permitted under the
Century Articles of Incorporation and Century Bylaws as in effect as of the date of this Agreement (subject to applicable Law), including provisions relating to advances of expenses incurred in the defense of any Litigation; provided, that
the Indemnified Party to whom expenses are advanced provides a written undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification.
(b) The Surviving Entity shall maintain in effect for a period of six years after the Effective Time Century’s
existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy (provided that the Surviving Entity may substitute therefor (i) policies of at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions which are substantially no less
advantageous to the insured, or (ii) with the consent of Century given prior to the Effective Time, any other policy) with respect to claims arising from facts or events which occurred prior to the Effective Time; provided, that the
Surviving Entity shall not be obligated to make aggregate premium payments for such six year period in respect of such policy (or coverage replacing such policy) which exceed, for the portion related to Century’s directors and officers,
300% of the annual premium payments currently paid on Century’s current policy in effect as of the date of this Agreement (the “Maximum Amount”). If the amount of the premiums necessary to maintain or procure such insurance coverage
exceeds the Maximum Amount, the Surviving Entity shall maintain the most advantageous policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance obtainable for a premium equal to the Maximum Amount. In lieu of the foregoing, Buyer, or
Century in consultation with Buyer, may obtain on or prior to the Effective Time, a six year “tail” prepaid policy providing equivalent coverage to that described in this Section 7.8(b) at a premium not to exceed the Maximum Amount.
If the premium necessary to purchase such “tail” prepaid policy exceeds the Maximum Amount, Buyer or Century in consultation with Buyer may purchase the most advantageous “tail” prepaid policy obtainable for a premium equal to the Maximum
Amount, and in each case, Buyer and the Surviving Entity shall have no further obligations under this Section 7.8(b) other than to maintain such “tail” prepaid policy.
(c) Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under Section 7.8(a), upon learning of any such
Claim, shall promptly notify the Surviving Entity thereof. In the event of any such Claim (whether arising before or after the Effective Time): (i) Buyer or the Surviving Entity shall have the right to assume the defense thereof and Buyer
and the Surviving Entity shall not be liable to such Indemnified Parties for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Parties in connection with the defense thereof, except that if
Buyer or the Surviving Entity elects not to assume such defense or independent legal counsel for the Indemnified Parties advises that there are substantive issues which raise conflicts of interest between Buyer or the Surviving Entity and
the Indemnified Parties, the Indemnified Parties may retain counsel satisfactory to them, and Buyer or the Surviving Entity shall pay all fees and expenses of such counsel for the Indemnified Parties as required under, and in accordance
with, Century’s articles of incorporation and bylaws as in effect as of the date of this Agreement (subject to applicable Law); provided, that Buyer or the Surviving Entity shall be obligated pursuant to this Section 7.8(c) to pay for only
one firm of counsel for all Indemnified Parties; (ii) the Indemnified Parties will reasonably cooperate in the defense of any such Claim; and (iii) Buyer and the Surviving Entity shall not be liable for any settlement effected without its
prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); and provided, further, that Buyer and the Surviving Entity shall not have any obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Party when and if a
court of competent jurisdiction shall determine, and such determination shall have become final, that the indemnification of such Indemnified Party in the manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by applicable Law.
(d) If the Surviving Entity or any successors or assigns shall consolidate with or merge into any other person and
shall not be the continuing or surviving person of such consolidation or merger, or if the Surviving Entity (or any successors or assigns) shall transfer all or substantially all of its Assets to any person, then and in each case, proper
provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Entity shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.8.
(e) The provisions of this Section 7.8 are intended to be for the benefit of and shall be enforceable by,
each Indemnified Party and their respective heirs and Representatives.
7.8 Additional Agreements. In case at any time
after the Effective Time any further action is reasonably necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement (including any merger between a Subsidiary of Buyer, on the one hand, and a Subsidiary of Century, on the other hand) or to vest
the Surviving Entity with full title to all properties, Assets, rights, approvals, immunities and franchises of any of the parties to the Merger or the Bank Merger, the proper officers and directors of each Party to this Agreement and their
respective Subsidiaries shall take all such necessary action as may be reasonably requested by Buyer.
7.9 Advice of Changes. Buyer and Century shall
each promptly advise the other Party of any effect, change, event, circumstance, condition, occurrence or development (i) that has had or would reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse
Effect on such first Party, or (ii) that such first Party believes would or would reasonably be expected to cause or constitute a material breach of any of its representations, warranties, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in
this Agreement that reasonably would be expected to give rise, individually or in the aggregate, to the failure of a condition in Article 8; provided, that any failure to give notice in accordance with the foregoing with respect to
any breach shall not be deemed to constitute a violation of this Section 7.10 or the failure of any condition set forth in Section 8.2 or 8.3 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 a failure of the conditions set forth in Section 8.2 or 8.3 to be satisfied; and provided, further, that the
delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 7.10 shall not cure any breach of, or noncompliance with, any other provision of this Agreement or limit the remedies available to the Party receiving such notice.
7.10 Shareholder Litigation. Each Party shall give
the other Party prompt notice of any shareholder Litigation against such Party or its directors or officers relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and shall give the other Party the opportunity to participate (at such
other Party’s expense) in the defense or settlement of any such Litigation. Each Party shall give the other a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on all filings or responses to be made by such Party in connection with any such
Litigation, and will in good faith take such comments into account. No Party shall agree to settle any such Litigation without the other Party’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed; provided, that the other Party shall not be obligated to consent to any settlement which does not include a full release of such other Party and its affiliates or which imposes an injunction or other equitable relief after the
Effective Time upon the Surviving Entity or any of its affiliates.
7.11 Acquisition Proposals.
(a) Century agrees that it will not, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries and use its commercially reasonable
efforts to cause each member of the Peters Family Group and Century’s, its Subsidiaries’’ and each member of the Peters Family Group’s respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (collectively, “Representatives”)
not to, directly or indirectly, (i) initiate, solicit, knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate any inquiries or proposals with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) engage or participate in any negotiations with any person
concerning any Acquisition Proposal, (iii) provide any confidential or nonpublic information or data to, or have or participate in any discussions with, any person relating to any Acquisition Proposal (except to notify a person that has
made or, to the knowledge of such Party, is making any inquiries with respect to, or is considering making, an Acquisition Proposal, of the existence of the provisions of this Section 7.11, or (iv) unless this Agreement has been terminated
in accordance with its terms, approve or enter into any term sheet, letter of intent, commitment, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement or other similar agreement (whether written or
oral, binding or nonbinding) (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement entered into in accordance with this Section 7.11) in connection with or relating to any Acquisition Proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that
after the date of this Agreement and prior to the receipt of the Requisite Century Vote, Century receives an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal, Century may, and may permit its Subsidiaries and its Subsidiaries’
Representatives to, furnish or cause to be furnished confidential or nonpublic information or data and participate in such negotiations or discussions with the person making the Acquisition Proposal if the Board of Directors of Century
concludes in good faith (after receiving the advice of its outside counsel, and with respect to financial matters, its financial advisors) that failure to take such actions would be more likely than not to result in a violation of its
fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided, that, prior to furnishing any confidential or nonpublic information permitted to be provided pursuant to this sentence, Century shall have provided such information to Buyer and shall have
entered into a confidentiality agreement with the person making such Acquisition Proposal on terms no less favorable to it than the Confidentiality Agreement (“Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement”), which confidentiality agreement
shall not provide such person with any exclusive right to negotiate with Century. Century will, and will cause its Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any activities, discussions or negotiations conducted
before the date of this Agreement with any person other than Buyer with respect to any Acquisition Proposal. Century will promptly (within twenty-four (24) hours) advise Buyer following receipt of any Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry
which would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, and the substance thereof (including the material terms and conditions of and the identity of the person making such inquiry or Acquisition Proposal), will provide Buyer
with an unredacted copy of any such Acquisition Proposal and any draft agreements, proposals or other materials received in connection with any such inquiry or Acquisition Proposal, and will keep Buyer reasonably apprised of any related
developments, discussions and negotiations on a current basis, including any amendments to or revisions of the material terms of such inquiry or Acquisition Proposal. Century shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to enforce any
existing confidentiality or standstill agreements to which it or any of its Subsidiaries is a party in accordance with the terms thereof. As used in this Agreement, “Acquisition Proposal” shall mean, with respect to Century, other
than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Receivership Share Purchase Agreement, any offer, proposal or inquiry relating to, or any third-party indication of interest in, (i) any acquisition or purchase, direct or
indirect, of twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the consolidated Assets of Century and its Subsidiaries or twenty-five percent (25%) or more of any class of equity or voting securities of Century or its Subsidiaries whose Assets,
individually or in the aggregate, constitute twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the consolidated Assets of Century, (ii) any tender offer (including a self-tender offer) or exchange offer that, if consummated, would result in such third
party beneficially owning twenty-five percent (25%) or more of any class of equity or voting securities of Century or its Subsidiaries whose Assets, individually or in the aggregate, constitute twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the
consolidated Assets of Century, or (iii) a merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination, reorganization, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or other similar transaction involving Century or its Subsidiaries whose
Assets, individually or in the aggregate, constitute twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the consolidated Assets of Century.
(b) As used in this Agreement, “Superior Proposal” means a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that the
Board of Directors of Century determines, in good faith, after taking into account all legal, financial, regulatory and other aspects of such proposal and the person making the proposal, and after consulting with its financial advisor and
outside legal counsel, is (i) more favorable from a financial point of view to Century’s shareholders than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (taking into account any proposal by Buyer to amend the terms of this Agreement
pursuant to Section 7.4(c)) and (ii) reasonably likely to be timely consummated on the terms set forth therein; provided that for purposes of this definition of Superior Proposal, references to “twenty-five percent (25%)” in the
definition of Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to be references to “fifty percent (50%).”
(c) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent Century 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 disclosure to Century’s shareholders; provided, 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.
7.12 Public Announcements. Century and Buyer agree
that the initial press release with respect to the execution and delivery of this Agreement shall be a release mutually agreed to by the Parties. Thereafter, each of the Parties agrees that no public release or announcement or statement
concerning this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be issued by any Party without the prior written consent of the other Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except (i) as
required by applicable Law or the rules or regulations of any applicable Governmental Entity or stock exchange to which the relevant Party is subject, in which case the Party required to make the release or announcement shall consult with
the other Party about, and allow the other Party reasonable time to comment on, such release or announcement in advance of such issuance, or (ii) for such releases, announcements or statements that are consistent with other such releases,
announcement or statements made after the date of this Agreement in compliance with this Section 7.12.
7.13 Change of Method. Buyer shall be empowered at
any time prior to the Effective Time, to change the method or structure of effecting the combination of Century and Buyer (including the provisions of Article 1), if and to the extent the Board of Directors of Buyer deems such
change to be necessary, appropriate or desirable; provided, however, that, unless this Agreement is amended by agreement of each Party in accordance with Section 10.2, no such change shall (i) alter or change the Per Share Merger
Consideration to be received by holders of Century Common Stock in exchange for each share of Century Common Stock, (ii) adversely affect the Tax treatment or the economic effect of the Merger on Century’s shareholders or Buyer’s
shareholders pursuant to this Agreement, (iii) adversely affect the Tax treatment of Century or Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, or (iv) materially impede or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in a
timely manner. The Parties agree to reflect any such change in an appropriate amendment to this Agreement executed by both Parties in accordance with Section 10.2.
7.14 Takeover Restrictions. None of Century, Buyer
or their respective Boards of Directors shall take any action that would cause any Takeover Restriction to become applicable to this Agreement, the Merger, or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby, and each shall take all
necessary steps to exempt (or ensure the continued exemption of) the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby from any applicable Takeover Restriction now or hereafter in effect. If any Takeover Restriction may become, or may
purport to be, applicable to the transactions contemplated hereby, each Party and the members of their respective Boards of Directors will grant such approvals and take such actions as are necessary so that the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby and otherwise act to eliminate or minimize the effects of any Takeover Restriction on any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
including, if necessary, challenging the validity or applicability of any such Takeover Restriction.
7.15 Treatment of Century Indebtedness. At and
after the Effective Time, Buyer shall assume the due and punctual performance and observance of the covenants to be performed by Century under the agreements set forth on Section 7.17 of the Century Disclosure Memorandum to the extent set
forth in such agreements. In connection therewith, Buyer and Century shall reasonably cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to execute and deliver any supplemental indentures, officer’s certificates, or other documents, and the
Parties shall reasonably cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to provide any opinion of counsel to the trustee thereof, required to make such assumption effective as of the Effective Time or the effective time of the Bank
Merger, as applicable.
7.16 Certain Tax Matters. Each of Century and
Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Merger to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. Each of Century and Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts and
shall reasonably cooperate with one another to obtain the opinions of counsel referred to in Sections 8.2(c) and 8.3(c). In connection with the foregoing, (a) Century shall deliver to each of Nelson Mullins Riley &
Scarborough LLP and Otteson Shapiro LLP a duly executed letter of representation customary for transactions of this type and reasonably satisfactory to such counsel (the “Century Tax Certificate”), and (b) Buyer shall deliver to each

7.19 Securities Act Compliance; Resale
Registration Statement.
(a) Century understands that the Buyer Common Stock to be issued hereunder will not be registered
under the Securities Act pursuant to exemptions set forth in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder (“Rule 506”). Century understands and agrees that in order to comply with the
requirements of Rule 506, the Per Share Stock Consideration will be paid in the form of cash at a price per share of Buyer Common Stock the Holder otherwise would have received equal to the Buyer Stock Value (rather than in the form of
shares of Buyer Common Stock) to (1) any shareholder of Century who has not provided an Accredited Investor Certificate to Buyer, or (2) any other shareholder of Century with respect to whom the Board of Directors of Buyer is unable to form
a reasonable belief that such shareholder is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in regulations promulgated under the Securities Act. The parties understand and agree that the shares of Buyer Common Stock issued pursuant to
this Agreement cannot be resold unless they are registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, or unless an exemption from such registration requirements is available, and that the book-entry shares representing
the Buyer Common Stock issued pursuant to this Agreement will bear a restrictive legend, or be subject to equivalent book-entry restrictions or notations, to that effect. If the safe harbor of Rule 506 is not available, the parties will
cooperate to determine a commercially reasonable alternative exemption that can be relied upon or alternative structure that will allow the Merger to be completed on the terms set forth herein.
(b) As promptly as practicable following the Effective Time, but in no event later than forty-five
(45) days after the Effective Time, Buyer shall prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-3 (the “Resale Registration Statement”) providing for the resale by the former shareholders of Century who received
shares of Buyer Common Stock of all shares of Buyer Common Stock issued to such Holders pursuant to this Agreement (the “Registrable Shares”), on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act.
(c) Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Resale Registration Statement to be
declared effective by the SEC as promptly as practicable after the filing thereof, and to keep the Resale Registration Statement continuously effective, and available for use by the Holders, until the earlier of (i) the date on which all
Registrable Shares have been sold or otherwise disposed of pursuant to the Resale Registration Statement, and (ii) the date on which all Registrable Shares held by the Holders may be sold without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions
pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, without the requirement for Buyer to be in compliance with the current public information requirement thereunder.
(d) Buyer may suspend use of the Resale Registration Statement for a reasonable period if required to
comply with applicable Law or in connection with a pending material corporate transaction or if Buyer determines in good faith that continued use would require disclosure of material nonpublic information that Buyer has a bona fide business
purpose for preserving, provided that no such suspension shall exceed an aggregate of thirty (30) days in any ninety (90)-day period or sixty (60) days in any twelve (12)-month period, subject to customary extensions for regulatory delays.
7.20 Delivery of Century Bank Disclosure Memorandum
Century shall prepare and deliver to Buyer with this Agreement a complete and accurate Century Disclosure Memorandum with respect to Section 2.3 of the Century Disclosure Memorandum and accurate disclosures for Section 4.13(c) and Section
4.16(a)(xiv) with respect to any agreements entered into by Century or any Century Subsidiary within the sixty (60) day period prior to the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that all other disclosures required pursuant to this
Agreement shall be provided by Century to Buyer as a complete and accurate Century Disclosure Memorandum no later than ten (10) Business Days following the date of this Agreement.
7.21 Century Bank Board In the event that the Bank
Merger does not occur immediately following the Effective Time, Century shall cause each of the directors of Century Bank set forth on Section 7.21 of the Buyer Disclosure Memorandum to submit a resignation from the Century Bank Board of
Directors, with such resignation effective as of the Effective Time.
7.22 Claims Letters Century shall use its
commercially reasonable best efforts to cause, each executive officer and director of Century and Century Bank and each member of the Peters Family Group to execute and deliver the Claims Letter in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D
within ten (10) Business Days of the execution and delivery of this Agreement and effective upon the Closing.
7.23 Commercially Reasonable Efforts Subject to
the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Party agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts in good faith to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper, or advisable under
applicable Laws, so as to permit consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby as promptly as practicable, including the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article 8, and shall reasonably cooperate with the other Party to
that end.

of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall have become final and nonappealable; provided that the Party seeking to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(b)(ii) shall have used its commercially reasonable

obtained and neither Party has received notice from any applicable Regulatory Agency that any request for such a Requisite Regulatory Approval has been denied, unless in each case, the failure of the Closing to occur by such date shall be
due to the failure of the Party seeking to terminate this Agreement to perform or observe the obligations, covenants and agreements of such Party set forth herein; or
(d) by Buyer, if Century has breached or is in breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the
part of Century contained in this Agreement, which breach would, individually or together with all such other then-uncured breaches by Century, constitute grounds for the conditions set forth in Section 8.2 not to be satisfied and such
breach is not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof to Century (or such fewer days as remain prior to the Termination Date), or by its nature or timing cannot be cured within such time period; or
(e) by Century, if Buyer has breached or is in breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the

9.2 Effect of Termination.
(a) In the event of termination of this Agreement by either Buyer or Century as provided in Section 9.1, this
Agreement shall forthwith become void and have no effect, and none of Buyer, Century, any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of the officers or directors of any of them shall have any Liability of any nature whatsoever hereunder, or in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, except that (i) Section 7.2(b) (Access to Information; Confidentiality), Section 7.12 (Public Announcements),
this Section 9.2 and Article 10 shall survive any termination of this Agreement, and (ii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, neither Buyer nor Century shall be relieved or released from any liabilities or
damages arising out of its fraud or its willful and material breach of any provision of this Agreement. “Willful and material breach” shall mean a material breach of, or material failure to perform any of the covenants or other agreements
contained in, this Agreement that is a consequence of an act or failure to act by the breaching or non-performing Party with actual knowledge that such Party’s act or failure to act would, or would reasonably be expected to, result in or
constitute such breach of or such failure of performance under this Agreement. Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1, Buyer shall retain all rights under, and may proceed with the transactions
contemplated by, the Receivership Share Purchase Agreement in accordance with its terms.
(b) In recognition of the efforts, expenses, and other opportunities foregone by Buyer while pursuing the Merger:
(i) In the event that after the date of this Agreement and prior to the termination of this Agreement, a bona fide Acquisition Proposal shall
have been communicated to or otherwise made known to the Board of Directors or senior management of Century or shall have been made directly to the shareholders of Century or any person shall have publicly announced (and, in each case, not
irrevocably withdrawn at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Century Meeting) an Acquisition Proposal, in each case, with respect to Century, and (A) the Agreement is terminated by (x) either Party pursuant to Section 9.1(c) (Termination Date) without the Requisite Century Vote having been obtained (and all other conditions set forth in Section 8.1 and Section 8.3 were satisfied or were capable of being
satisfied prior to such termination) or (y) Buyer pursuant to Section 9.1(d) (Material Breach) and (B) prior to the date that is nine (9) months after the date of such termination, Century enters
into a definitive agreement or consummates a transaction with respect to an Acquisition Proposal (whether or not the same Acquisition Proposal as that referred to above), then Century shall, on the earlier of the date it enters into such
definitive agreement and the date of consummation of such transaction, pay Buyer, by wire transfer of same-day funds, a fee equal to seven million, three hundred and twenty thousand dollars ($7,320,000) (the “Termination Fee”);
provided that for purposes of this Section 9.2(b), all references in the definition of Acquisition Proposal to “twenty-five percent (25%)” shall instead refer to “fifty percent (50%).”
(ii) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by (A) Buyer or Century pursuant to Section 9.1(f), (B) by Buyer pursuant to Section
9.1(g), or (C) by Century pursuant to Section 9.1(j), then Century shall pay Buyer, by wire transfer of same-day funds, the Termination Fee within two (2) Business Days of the date of termination.
(iii) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Buyer pursuant to Section 9.1(h) or Section 9.1(i), then Century shall, by wire
transfer of same-day funds, reimburse Buyer for all expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including all attorney’s fees, fees paid to the Buyer Financial Advisor, fees paid for any
third party loan review, and accounting and auditing fees, within two (2) business days of the date of termination.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, but without limiting the right of any Party to
recover liabilities or damages to the extent permitted by this Agreement, in no event shall either Party be required to pay the Termination Fee more than once.
(d) The payment of a Termination Fee by Century on the terms set forth herein shall constitute liquidated damages
and not a penalty, and except in the case of fraud or willful breach, shall be the sole monetary remedy of Buyer in the event of termination of this Agreement as described in Section 9.2(b). Each of Buyer and Century acknowledges that the
agreements contained in this Section 9.2 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, the other Party would not enter into this Agreement; accordingly, if Buyer or Century, as
the case may be, fails promptly to pay the amount due pursuant to this Section 9.2, and, in order to obtain such payment, the other Party commences a suit which results in a judgment against the non-paying Party for the Termination Fee or
any portion thereof, such non-paying Party shall pay the costs and expenses of the other Party (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with such suit. In addition, if Buyer or Century, as the case may be, fails to pay the
amounts payable pursuant to this Section 9.2, then such Party shall pay interest on such overdue amounts at a rate per annum equal to the “prime rate” published in the Wall Street Journal on the date on which such payment was required to be
made for the period commencing as of the date that such overdue amount was originally required to be paid and ending on the date that such overdue amount is actually paid in full.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in addition to the general effect-of-termination
provisions of Section 9.2(a), this Section 9.2(e) shall survive any termination of this Agreement. Upon any termination of this Agreement by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement: (i) there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of
Buyer or the Receiver (or any of their respective affiliates, Subsidiaries, directors, officers, members, managers, employees, agents, attorneys or other Representatives) to Century or any of its Subsidiaries, shareholders or affiliates
arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby, the pursuit of the Merger in lieu of the transactions contemplated by the Receivership Share Purchase Agreement, or such termination; (ii) Century, on
behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, shareholders and affiliates, irrevocably and unconditionally releases and forever discharges Buyer and the Receiver (and their respective affiliates, Subsidiaries, directors, officers, members,
managers, employees, agents, attorneys and other Representatives) from any and all claims, liabilities, damages and causes of action arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby, the decision to pursue
the Merger in lieu of the Receivership Share Purchase Agreement, and such termination; and (iii) no termination fee, expense reimbursement or other payment shall be payable by any Party as a result of a termination under Section 9.1(k).
