Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Agreement and Plan of Merger
On September 7, 2026, John Marshall Bancorp, Inc.
(“JMSB”) and Eagle Financial Services, Inc. (“EFSI”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger
Agreement”) with George Sub, Inc., a newly formed Virginia corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of JMSB (“Merger Sub”).
The Merger Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub will merge with and into
EFSI (the “First Merger”), with EFSI continuing as the surviving corporation in the First Merger (the “Intermediate
Surviving Corporation”), and immediately thereafter the Intermediate Surviving Corporation will merge with and into JMSB (the
“Second Merger”), with JMSB as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”). Simultaneously
with the First Merger, EFSI’s wholly owned bank subsidiary, Bank of Clarke, will merge with and into JMSB’s wholly owned
bank subsidiary, John Marshall Bank (the “Bank Merger” and, together with the First Merger and the Second Merger, the “Mergers”),
with John Marshall Bank continuing as the surviving bank in the Bank Merger (the “Surviving Bank”). The Merger
Agreement was unanimously approved by the board of directors of JMSB and unanimously approved by all present directors of the board
of directors of EFSI.
Merger Consideration
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger
Agreement, at the effective time of the First Merger (the “Effective Time”), each outstanding share of common stock, par
value $2.50 per share, of EFSI (“EFSI Common Stock”) will be converted into the right to receive 2.00 shares (the “Exchange
Ratio”) of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of JMSB (“JMSB Common Stock”), with cash to be paid in lieu of
any fractional shares (the “Merger Consideration”).
Treatment of Equity Awards
Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each restricted
stock award of EFSI (“EFSI Restricted Stock Award”) will fully vest, with any performance conditions deemed satisfied at
the target level, and, at the holder’s election, made no earlier than 15 business days and no later than five business
days before the Effective Time, each such award will either (a) be converted automatically into the right to receive the Merger Consideration
in respect of each underlying share, with any fractional shares rounded down to the nearest whole share of JMSB Common Stock, or (b)
be canceled in consideration for the right to receive a lump sum cash payment equal to the Exchange Ratio multiplied by the number of
shares underlying such EFSI Restricted Stock Award multiplied by the average closing prices of JMSB Common Stock for the 20
consecutive full trading days on which such shares are actually traded on Nasdaq ending at the close of trading on the 10th business
day prior to closing (the “Average Closing Price”), less required withholding taxes; provided that, if no timely
election is made, clause (a) will apply. Any EFSI Restricted Stock Awards granted after September 7, 2026 (“New EFSI Restricted
Stock Award”) will not vest as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. At the Effective Time, each New
EFSI Restricted Stock Award that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into time-based JMSB Restricted
Stock Awards (as defined below) with the same terms and conditions as were applicable under the New EFSI Restricted Stock Awards
prior to the Effective Time, with any performance conditions deemed satisfied at the target level. The number of shares of JMSB Common
Stock subject to each JMSB Restricted Stock Award will be equal to the product (rounded to the nearest whole share) of the Exchange Ratio
and the number of shares of EFSI Common Stock represented by the New EFSI Restricted Stock Award.
Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each outstanding
restricted stock award of JMSB (“JMSB Restricted Stock Award”) will likewise fully vest and the holder may elect,
by notice delivered no earlier than 15 business days and no later than five business days before the Effective Time, to
cancel each JMSB Restricted Stock Award in consideration for the right to receive a lump sum cash payment equal to the number of shares
underlying such JMSB Restricted Stock Award multiplied by the Average Closing Price, less required withholding taxes. Any JMSB
Restricted Stock Awards granted after September 7, 2026 will not vest as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement
and will continue to vest following the Effective Date in accordance with the vesting schedule and terms and conditions of the applicable
JMSB Restricted Stock Award.
1
Corporate Governance
The Merger Agreement provides that, at the Effective
Time, Surviving Corporation’s board of directors will consist of 12 directors, 6 from JMSB and 6 from EFSI. Christopher W. Bergstrom
will serve as Executive Chairman of the Surviving Corporation. Cary C. Nelson will serve as Lead Independent Director of the Surviving
Corporation. With respect to the board of directors of the Surviving Corporation, the Merger Agreement further provides that the governance
and nominating committee will be composed of an equal number of EFSI directors and JMSB directors and that at the first annual meeting
of shareholders of the Surviving Corporation following the Effective Time, the board of directors will nominate and recommend these directors
for re-election. The Merger Agreement provides that, at the Effective Time, Surviving Corporation will be led by Brandon C. Lorey as
Chief Executive Officer and a director, Kent D. Carstater as President of the Surviving Corporation and Chief Operating Officer
of the Surviving Bank and Joseph T. Zmitrovich as Chief Revenue Officer of the Surviving Corporation and President of the Surviving
Bank.
Representations and Warranties; Covenants
The Merger Agreement contains customary representations
and warranties from both JMSB and EFSI, and each party has agreed to customary covenants, including, among others, covenants relating
to (a) the conduct of each party’s business during the interim period between the execution of the Merger Agreement and the Effective
Time, (b) its obligation to call a meeting of its shareholders for purposes of obtaining approval of the transactions contemplated by
the Merger Agreement and, subject to certain exceptions, to recommend that its shareholders approve such transactions, and (c) non-solicitation
obligations of each of JMSB and EFSI relating to alternative acquisition proposals or entering into discussions or negotiations or providing
confidential information in connection with certain proposals for an alternative transaction.
Each of the parties have agreed to use its reasonable
best efforts to obtain as promptly as practicable all consents required to be obtained from any governmental authority or other third
party that are necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (including the Mergers). Notwithstanding
such general obligation to obtain such consents of governmental authorities, except for certain circumstances, neither party is permitted
to take any action that would reasonably be expected to be materially burdensome to the business, operations, capital, financial condition
or results of operations on the business of JMSB and its subsidiaries, or on the business of EFSI and its subsidiaries, in each case,
after the closing of the Mergers (a “Burdensome Condition”) without the prior written consent of the other party.
Closing Conditions
The completion of the Mergers is subject to customary
conditions, including, among others, (a) receipt of shareholder approvals of each of JMSB and EFSI; (b) receipt of all required regulatory
approvals (or waivers), including from the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and the Virginia Bureau of Financial Institutions;
(c) no required regulatory approvals contain, have resulted in or would reasonably be expected to result in the imposition of a Burdensome
Condition; (d) the absence of any law or order that would prohibit, restrict or make illegal the consummation of the Mergers; (e) the
effectiveness of the registration statement, including the joint proxy statement and prospectus, relating to shareholder approval of
the Mergers and the issuance of JMSB Common Stock in the First Merger; (f) the approval for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market of the
shares of JMSB Common Stock to be issued in the First Merger; and (g) each party’s receipt of an opinion from its counsel to the
effect that the First Merger and the Second Merger will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each party’s obligation to complete the Mergers is also subject to certain additional
customary conditions, including (i) subject to certain exceptions, the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the other party;
and (ii) performance in all material respects by the other party of its obligations under the Merger Agreement.
Termination
The Merger Agreement provides certain
termination rights for both JMSB and EFSI, including the right of either party to terminate if the Mergers have not been consummated
by September 30, 2027 (the “Termination Date”), and further provides that a termination fee of $10,100,000 will be
payable by either EFSI or JMSB, under certain circumstances, including if the board of directors of EFSI or JMSB changes its
recommendation to shareholders with respect to the transactions, they would pay the termination fee if the other party terminates
following such change in board recommendations. The termination fee will also be payable in certain circumstances where the Merger
Agreement is terminated and within 12 months after termination, that party consummates or enters into an agreement for an
alternative acquisition transaction. Specifically, the termination fee will also be required to be paid if (i) the Merger Agreement
is terminated because (a) the applicable party’s shareholders fail to approve the required matters at their meeting, (b) the
Mergers are not consummated by the Termination Date at a time when that party’s shareholder approval has not been obtained or
(c) the other party terminates for that party’s breach; (ii) an alternative acquisition proposal with respect to that party
has been made or publicly announced after the date of the Merger Agreement; and (iii) within 12 months after termination, that party
consummates or enters into an agreement for an alternative acquisition transaction.

Additional Information
The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement
does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is attached
as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
The representations, warranties and covenants of each
party set forth in the Merger Agreement have been made only for purposes of, and were and are solely for the benefit of the parties to,
the Merger Agreement (other than, in the case of certain covenants, third party beneficiaries expressly identified therein), may be subject
to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of
allocating contractual risk among JMSB, Merger Sub and EFSI instead of establishing these matters as facts, and may be subject to standards
of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Accordingly, the representations
and warranties may not describe the actual state of affairs at the date they were made or at any other time, and investors should not
rely on them as statements of fact. In addition, such representations and warranties (a) will not survive consummation of the Mergers,
unless otherwise specified therein, and (b) were made only as of the date of the Merger Agreement or such other date as is specified in
the Merger Agreement. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date
of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the parties’ public disclosures. Accordingly,
the Merger Agreement is included with this filing only to provide investors with information regarding the terms of the Merger Agreement,
and not to provide investors with any other factual information regarding JMSB, Merger Sub or EFSI, their respective affiliates or their
respective businesses. Investors and security holders are not third-party beneficiaries under the Merger Agreement and should not rely
on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements, or any descriptions thereof, as characterizations of the actual state of
facts or condition of any party to the Merger Agreement.
The Merger Agreement should not be read alone, but
should instead be read in conjunction with the other information regarding JMSB, Merger Sub, EFSI, their respective affiliates or their
respective businesses, the Merger Agreement and the Mergers that will be contained in, or incorporated by reference into, the Registration
Statement on Form S-4 to be filed by JMSB under the Securities Act that will include a Joint Proxy Statement of JMSB and EFSI and a Prospectus
of JMSB, as well as in the Forms 10-K, Forms 10-Q and other filings that each of JMSB and EFSI make with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”).
Voting Agreements
In connection with entering into the Merger Agreement,
each director and certain executive officers of EFSI and each director and certain executive officers of JMSB have entered into voting
agreements with JMSB and EFSI (the “Voting Agreements”), pursuant to which each such director and certain executive officers
have agreed, among other things, to vote his or her shares of EFSI Common Stock or JMSB Common Stock, as applicable, in favor of the
approval the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, and against any action or agreement that could result in a material
breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or other obligation of EFSI or JMSB, as applicable, under the Merger Agreement, against
any alternative acquisition proposal, and against any action or agreement that could reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with,
prevent, delay, postpone, discourage, frustrate the purposes of or adversely affect the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
The Voting Agreements also provide that the directors and certain executive officers signatory thereto will vote in favor of the adjournment
or postponement of their company’s shareholders’ meeting if (x) as of the time for which such shareholders’
meeting is originally scheduled, there are insufficient shares represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary
to conduct the business of such shareholders’ meeting or (y) on the date of the shareholders’ meeting, their company has
not received proxies representing a sufficient number of shares necessary to obtain the requisite shareholder approval. Subject to certain
exceptions, each such director and certain executive officers have also agreed not to transfer such shares of EFSI Common Stock or JMSB
Common Stock, as applicable, prior to the Effective Time or the termination of the Merger Agreement, without the prior written consent
of JMSB or EFSI, as applicable. The Voting Agreements automatically terminate upon the termination of the Merger Agreement. The directors
and certain executive officers of EFSI that are parties to Voting Agreements own in the aggregate approximately 5.97% of the outstanding
shares of EFSI Common Stock subject to the Voting Agreements as of September 7, 2026. The directors and certain executive officers
of JMSB that are parties to Voting Agreements own in the aggregate approximately 12.73% of the outstanding shares of JMSB Common
Stock subject to the Voting Agreements as of September 7, 2026.

The foregoing description of the Voting Agreements
does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the forms of Voting Agreement, which
is attached as Exhibit 10.1 (as to the Voting Agreements entered into by EFSI directors and certain EFSI executive officers) and Exhibit
10.2 (as to the Voting Agreements entered into by JMSB directors and certain JMSB executive officers) hereto and is incorporated herein
by reference.
Item 5.02
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
Immediately following the Effective Time, the following
leadership changes will occur:
· Christopher Bergstrom will step down as President and Chief Executive Officer of JMSB and John Marshall

· Brandon Lorey (current President and Chief Executive Officer of EFSI and Bank of Clarke) will be appointed
Chief Executive Officer of JMSB and John Marshall Bank
· Kent Carstater Senior Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer of JMSB and John Marshall Bank
will be promoted to the position of President of JMSB and Chief Operating Officer of John Marshall Bank.

President of John Marshall Bank and Chief Revenue Officer of JMSB.
· Andrew Peden will remain in the same role, Senior Executive Vice President, Chief Banking Officer of
JMSB and John Marshall Bank.
On September 7, 2026, JMSB entered into amended
and restated employment agreements with each of Messrs. Bergstrom, Carstater and Peden (the “Amended and Restated Employment Agreements”)
that will become effective at the Effective Time contingent on the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
Bergstrom Amended and Restated Employment Agreement
Pursuant to the terms of Mr. Bergstrom’s Amended
and Restated Employment Agreement, Mr. Bergstrom’s employment with JMSB and John Marshall Bank will continue for a term
of 39 months from the Effective Time, but in any case no earlier than March 31, 2030, unless earlier terminated in accordance with Bergstrom’s
Amended and Restated Employment Agreement or extended by mutual agreement.
Bergstrom’s Amended and Restated Employment
Agreement provides for an initial annual base salary of $500,000, increasing by 5% annually, that may not be decreased without Mr. Bergstrom’s
written consent. Mr. Bergstrom is eligible to receive an annual bonus with a target value of 50% of his base salary and a maximum of
100% of his base salary, subject to the achievement of performance targets set by the Board of Directors of JMSB and John Marshall
Bank (the “Boards”); provided that Mr. Bergstrom’s annual bonus payout percentage will not be less than that
of the Chief Executive Officer of JMSB for the applicable fiscal year, subject to his continued performance in good standing.
4
During each year of the term, Mr. Bergstrom will receive
equity awards in the form of time-based restricted stock, each with a grant date value measured at the same percentage of his base salary
as the total equity awards (including time- and performance-based equity awards) provided to the Chief Executive Officer of JMSB (as measured
as a percentage of the Chief Executive Officer's base salary). The restricted stock awards will vest in approximately equal amounts, starting
with a portion vesting immediately at grant and then on the next anniversaries of grant until the anniversary occurring in 2030. The restricted
stock awards will immediately vest upon a change of control, a termination of Mr. Bergstrom's employment without "cause," due
to his death or "incapacity," or upon his resignation for "good reason" (as such terms are defined in Bergstrom’s
Amended and Restated Employment Agreement).
In the event of a termination of Mr. Bergstrom’s
employment by JMSB or John Marshall Bank without cause or by Mr. Bergstrom for good reason, subject to his timely execution and delivery
of a general release that becomes effective and irrevocable, and to his continued compliance with certain non-competition and non-solicitation
provisions in his Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, Mr. Bergstrom would be entitled to receive (i) a lump-sum cash payment equal
to 2.99 times his annual compensation, provided that such multiple is reduced to two times for any such termination occurring after the
second anniversary of the Effective Time, and (ii) payment of his health insurance premiums under COBRA for a period of two years following
his termination date, to the extent he is eligible for such benefits.
In the event of a termination of Mr. Bergstrom’s
employment by JMSB or John Marshall Bank without cause or by Mr. Bergstrom for good reason within the two years following a subsequent
change in control, subject to his timely execution and delivery of a general release that becomes effective and irrevocable, and to his
continued compliance with certain non-competition and non-solicitation provisions in his Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, Mr.
Bergstrom would be entitled to receive (i) a lump-sum cash payment equal to 2.99 times his annual compensation and (ii) payment of his
health insurance premiums under COBRA for a period of two years following his termination date, to the extent he is eligible for such
benefits.
Carstater Amended and Restated Employment Agreement
Mr. Carstater’s Amended and Restated Employment
Agreement remains on substantially the same terms as his current employment agreement; however, it provides for an increase to his annual
base salary to $500,000 in connection with his promotion and an adjustment to the severance multiple from 2.5 to 2.99 times his annual
compensation if he is terminated without “cause” or resigns for “good reason” (as such terms are defined in Mr.
Carstater’s Amended and Restated Employment Agreement) within the two years following a change in control, which includes the transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
Peden Amended and Restated Employment Agreement
Mr. Peden’s Amended and Restated Employment
Agreement remains on substantially the same terms as his current employment agreement; however, it provides for a payment to be made to
Mr. Peden within fifteen (15) days following the Effective Time of an amount equal to 2.5 times his annual compensation and corresponding
reduction to the severance multiple from 2.5 to one times his annual compensation if he is terminated without “cause” or resigns
for “good reason” (as such terms are defined in Mr. Peden’s Amended and Restated Employment Agreement) within the two
years following a subsequent change in control.
The foregoing summaries of the terms of the Amended
and Restated Employment Agreements are qualified in their entirety by the terms of the respective Amended and Restated Employment Agreements,
which will be filed with JMSB’s Form S-4 and are incorporated herein by reference.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
In addition to historical information,
this communication contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that
are based on certain assumptions and describe future plans, strategies and expectations of JMSB, EFSI, the combined company or otherwise
relating to the proposed transaction. These forward-looking statements are generally identified by use of the words “believe,”
“expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,” “will,”
“should,” “may,” “view,” “opportunity,” “potential,” or similar expressions
or expressions of confidence. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain.
Because forward-looking statements are
subject to assumptions and uncertainties, actual results or future events could differ, possibly materially, from those indicated in
or implied by such forward-looking statements as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are beyond the control of JMSB,
EFSI and the combined company. Caution should be exercised against placing undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Factors
which could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to, the following: the occurrence of any event,
change or other circumstances that could give rise to the right of JMSB or EFSI to terminate the definitive agreement; the outcome
of any legal proceedings or governmental inquiries or actions that may be instituted against JMSB, EFSI or the combined company; the
possibility that the proposed transaction will not close when expected or at all because required regulatory, shareholder or other
approvals or consents are not received or other conditions to the closing are not satisfied on a timely basis or at all, or are
obtained subject to conditions that are not anticipated (and the risk that required regulatory approvals may result in the
imposition of conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the proposed transaction); the

Corporation or the shareholders of any of the foregoing, the shares of the consolidated corporations shall be converted as follows:

(b) All
shares of capital stock of EFSI issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that are held by EFSI, any EFSI
Subsidiary, JMSB or any JMSB Subsidiary (in each case other than shares held in any Employee Benefit Plans or related trust accounts
or otherwise 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 EFSI Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding the Canceled
Shares) shall be converted into the right to receive 2.00 shares (the “Exchange Ratio”)
of JMSB Common Stock (the “Merger Consideration”).
(d) Each share of EFSI 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 EFSI that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares of EFSI Common Stock shall cease to have any rights
with respect to such EFSI Common Stock other than the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with ARTICLE 3,
including the right, if any, to receive pursuant to Section 2.4, a Fractional Share Payment payable with respect to
such EFSI Common Stock or any dividends or distributions pursuant to Section 3.1(d).
(e) Each
share of common stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and
become one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of EFSI, as the Intermediate Surviving Corporation.
(f) At the Second Effective Time, each share of capital stock of the Intermediate Surviving Corporation issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Second Effective Time shall be canceled without any conversion thereof or payment of any consideration
therefor, and the capital stock of JMSB shall be unaffected by the Holding Company Merger and shall remain outstanding as capital
stock of the Surviving Corporation and shall not be affected by the Holding Company Merger.
5
2.2. Anti-Dilution
Provisions.
Without
limiting the other provisions of this Agreement and subject to Sections 6.2(d) and (f) and to Section 6.4(d),
if at any time during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the issued and outstanding shares
of EFSI Common Stock or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for shares of EFSI Common Stock or the issued
and outstanding shares of JMSB Common Stock or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for shares of JMSB Common
Stock, shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class by reasons of any reclassification, stock
split (including reverse stock split), stock dividend or distribution, reorganization, recapitalization, redenomination, merger,
issuer tender or exchange offer or other similar transaction, then the Merger Consideration (including the Exchange Ratio) shall
be equitably and proportionately adjusted, if necessary and without duplication, to reflect fully the effect of any such change;
provided, that, in any case, nothing in this Section 2.2 shall be construed to permit any Party to take any action
with respect to its securities that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.
2.3. Treatment
of Equity Awards.
(a) Treatment
of EFSI Restricted Stock Awards. As of immediately prior to the Effective Time, (i) each award of EFSI Common Stock subject
to time-based, performance, or other vesting or lapse restrictions (each, an “EFSI
Restricted Stock Award”) that is outstanding under any EFSI Stock Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time,
shall, to the extent not vested, become fully vested; provided, that to the extent that such award is subject to performance conditions,
any performance conditions shall be deemed to have been satisfied at the target level; and (ii) at the election of the holder
of an EFSI Restricted Stock Award, which shall be delivered to EFSI no earlier than 15 Business Days prior to the Effective Time
and no later than five Business Days prior to the Effective Time, each EFSI Restricted Stock Award shall either be (A) converted
automatically into the right to receive (without interest) the Merger Consideration in respect of each share of EFSI Common Stock
subject to such EFSI Restricted Stock Award immediately prior to the Effective Time, with any fractional shares rounded down to
the nearest whole share of JMSB Common Stock or (B) canceled in consideration for the right to receive a lump sum cash payment
with respect thereto equal to the product of: (x) the Exchange Ratio, (y) the number of shares of EFSI Common Stock
represented by such EFSI Restricted Stock Award, and (z) the Average Closing Price; less any required withholding Taxes;
provided, that to the extent that a holder fails to timely make an election the EFSI Restricted Stock Award shall receive the
treatment set forth in (A). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any EFSI Restricted Stock Awards granted after the date of this Agreement
and before the Closing Date (otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Agreement) (the “New
EFSI Restricted Stock Award”) shall not vest as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and
instead shall continue to vest following the Effective Date in accordance with the vesting schedule and terms and conditions of
the applicable EFSI Restricted Stock Award subject to adjustments for the transactions contemplated by the Agreement. At the Effective
Time, each New EFSI Restricted Stock Award that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted automatically
into a time-based JMSB Restricted Stock Award with the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such New EFSI Restricted
Stock Award prior to the Effective Time (including vesting terms, but excluding performance-based vesting conditions which shall
be deemed to have been satisfied at the target level) (the “New JMSB Restricted Share
Award”). The number of shares of JMSB Common Stock subject to each New JMSB Restricted Share Award shall be equal
to the product (rounded to the nearest whole share) of (x) the Exchange Ratio and (y) the number of shares of EFSI Common
Stock represented by such New EFSI Restricted Stock Award.
6
(b) Treatment of JMSB Restricted Stock Awards. As of immediately prior to the Effective Time, each JMSB Restricted Stock
Award that is outstanding under any JMSB Stock Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall, to the extent not vested,
become fully vested; provided, that, a holder of a JMSB Restricted Stock Award may elect, with such election to be delivered to
JMSB no earlier than 15 Business Days prior to the Effective Time and no later than five Business Days prior to the Effective
Time, for each JMSB Restricted Stock Award to be canceled in consideration for the right to receive a lump sum cash payment with
respect thereto equal to the product of: (x) the number of shares of JMSB Common Stock represented by such JMSB Restricted
Stock Award, and (z) the Average Closing Price; less any required withholding Taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any JMSB
Restricted Stock Awards granted after the date of this Agreement and before the Closing Date (otherwise in compliance with the
terms of this Agreement) shall not vest as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and instead shall continue
to vest following the Effective Date in accordance with the vesting schedule and terms and conditions of the applicable JMSB Restricted
Stock Award.
(c) Payment
by Surviving Corporation. To the extent that a holder elects to receive cash payment in respect of the EFSI Restricted Stock
Awards or JMSB Restricted Stock Awards, as applicable, then the Surviving Corporation will pay to the holders of such EFSI Restricted
Stock Awards or JMSB Restricted Stock Awards, as applicable, the amounts described in Section 2.3(a) or Section 2.3(b),
as applicable, as promptly as practical but in any event no later than the third regularly scheduled payroll date of the Surviving
Corporation.
(d) EFSI
ESPP. EFSI shall take all actions necessary or required under the EFSI 2026 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “EFSI

(x) the date such offering period was otherwise scheduled to end and (y) five (5) Business Days before the Closing Date,
(ii) no employee may commence participation in the EFSI ESPP following the date of this Agreement, (iii) no EFSI ESPP

accumulated contributions under the EFSI ESPP shall be used to purchase shares of EFSI Common Stock in accordance with the terms
of the EFSI ESPP as of the end of the current offering period (as accelerated pursuant to clause (i) above), and (vi) in
all events, the EFSI ESPP shall terminate in its entirety as of, and subject to, the Effective Time and no further rights shall
be granted or exercised under the EFSI ESPP thereafter.
2.4. Fractional
Shares.
No certificate,
book-entry share or scrip representing fractional shares of JMSB Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange
of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, no dividend or distribution of JMSB 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 JMSB. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each holder of shares of EFSI Common Stock converted pursuant
to the Merger who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of JMSB Common Stock (after taking into
account all Certificates or Book-Entry Shares of 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 JMSB Common Stock that such holder of shares of EFSI Common Stock would
otherwise have been entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.1(c) by (b) the Average Closing Price (the “Fractional
Share Payment”).

Article 3
EXCHANGE OF SHARES
3.1. Exchange
Procedures.
(a) Deposit
of Merger Consideration. At or promptly following the Effective Time, JMSB shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited,
with Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, JMSB’s transfer agent, or another exchange agent selected by JMSB (the “Exchange
Agent”), for the benefit of the holders of record of shares of EFSI Common Stock (excluding the Canceled Shares)
issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (collectively, the “Holders”),
for exchange in accordance with this ARTICLE 3, (i) evidence of JMSB Common Stock in book-entry form issuable
pursuant to Section 2.1(c) for shares of EFSI Common Stock equal to the aggregate Merger Consideration and (ii) immediately
available funds, to the extent determinable, for (A) any Fractional Share Payments and (B) after the Effective Time,
if applicable, any dividends or distributions which such Holders have the right to receive pursuant to Section 3.1(d)
(collectively, the “Exchange Fund”). The Exchange Agent shall
invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund as directed by JMSB, 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 paid to JMSB. JMSB
shall instruct the Exchange Agent to timely issue the Merger Consideration and pay the Fractional Share Payment, dividends or
distributions, if any, in accordance with this Agreement.
(b) Delivery of Merger Consideration. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, JMSB shall cause the
Exchange Agent to mail to each Holder of a Certificate (and Book-Entry Share, if required by the Exchange Agent or at the request
of JMSB) a notice advising such Holders of the effectiveness of the Merger, including appropriate transmittal materials specifying
that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, if applicable, shall pass,
only upon proper delivery of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, if applicable, and instructions for surrendering the Certificates
or Book-Entry Shares, if applicable, to the Exchange Agent (such materials and instructions to include customary provisions with
respect to delivery of an “agent’s message” with respect to Book-Entry Shares). Upon proper surrender of a Certificate
or Book-Entry Shares, if applicable, for exchange and cancelation to the Exchange Agent, together with the appropriate transmittal
materials, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be
required pursuant to such instructions, the Holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be entitled to receive in exchange
therefor (i) the Merger Consideration in non-certificated book-entry form and (ii) a check representing the amount of
(A) any Fractional Share Payment (if any), and (B) any dividends or distributions (if any) which the Holder thereof
has the right to receive pursuant to Section 3.1(d), and the Certificate or Book-Entry Share so surrendered shall
forthwith be canceled. No interest will be paid or accrued for the benefit of Holders on the Merger Consideration or any Fractional
Share Payment (if any) payable upon the surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares.
8
(c) Share Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, the share transfer books of EFSI shall be closed, and thereafter there
shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of EFSI Common Stock. From and after the Effective Time, Holders who held
shares of EFSI 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 EFSI Common Stock (other than the Canceled 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 JMSB’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 EFSI in respect of such shares of EFSI 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 Exchange Agent or the Surviving Corporation for any reason shall be canceled
and exchanged for the Merger Consideration, any Fractional Share Payment (if any) and any dividends or distributions (if any)
pursuant to Section 3.1(d) with respect to the shares of EFSI Common Stock formerly represented thereby.
(d) Dividends
with Respect to JMSB Common Stock. No dividends or other distributions declared with respect to JMSB 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 JMSB 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.
Subject to applicable Laws, following surrender of any such Certificate or Book-Entry Share (or affidavit of loss and other documentation
required by the Exchange Agent or Surviving Corporation hereunder in lieu thereof) there shall be paid to the record holder of
the whole shares of JMSB 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 JMSB 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 JMSB Common Stock.
(e) Termination
of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including any interest and other income received with respect thereto)
which remains undistributed to the former Holders on the first anniversary of the Effective Time may, at the request of JMSB,
be delivered to JMSB as the Surviving Corporation, and any former Holders who have not theretofore received any Merger Consideration
(including any Fractional Share Payment and any applicable dividends or other distributions with respect to JMSB Common Stock)
to which they are entitled under this Agreement shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for payment of their claims
with respect thereto (subject to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law, as general creditors thereof).
9
(f) No Liability. None of JMSB, EFSI, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation, the Exchange Agent 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. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by
Holders immediately prior to the time at which such amounts would otherwise escheat to, or become property of, any Regulatory
Authority shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of JMSB, free and clear of any claims or interest
of any such holders or their successors, assigns or personal representatives previously entitled thereto.
(g) Withholding
Rights. Each and any of JMSB, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct
and withhold from any consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as JMSB, the Surviving Corporation or the
Exchange Agent is required to deduct and withhold under any provision of applicable Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so
deducted or withheld and paid over to the appropriate Regulatory Authority by JMSB, the Surviving Corporation, or the Exchange
Agent, as applicable, 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 JMSB, the Surviving Corporation, or the Exchange Agent, as applicable.
(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 Exchange Agent or Surviving Corporation,
the posting by such Person of a bond in such reasonable and customary amount as the Exchange Agent or Surviving Corporation may
direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue
in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration, any Fractional Share Payment and dividend
or distributions to which the Holder thereof is entitled pursuant to this Agreement.
(i) Transferred Ownership. In the event of a transfer of ownership of EFSI Common Stock that is not registered in the
transfer records of EFSI, payment of the Merger Consideration (including any Fractional Share Payment and any applicable dividends
or other distributions with respect to JMSB 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 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 JMSB and Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable.

any EFSI Entity has engaged in questionable accounting or auditing practices. No attorney representing any EFSI Entity, whether
or not employed by any EFSI Entity, has reported evidence of a violation of Securities Laws, breach of fiduciary duty or similar
violation by EFSI or any of its officers, directors or employees to the board of directors of EFSI or any EFSI Entity or any committee
thereof, or to any director or officer of EFSI or any EFSI Entity. To EFSI’s Knowledge, there has been no instance of fraud

under the exclusive ownership and direct control of an EFSI Entity or its accountants (including all means of access thereto and
therefrom), except where such non-exclusive ownership and non-direct control has not had or would not reasonably be expected to
have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on EFSI. EFSI and Bank of Clarke (i) have implemented,
and maintain, disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15 or 15d-15, as applicable, under the Exchange
Act) to ensure the reliability of the EFSI Financial Statements and to ensure that information relating to the EFSI Entities is

others within those entities as appropriate (A) to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures and to make the
certifications required by the Exchange Act and Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, (B) which allow for
maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Assets

summarize and report financial information, and (B) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other
employees who have a significant role in EFSI’s internal controls over financial reporting. To the Knowledge of EFSI, there

not be able to give the certifications and attestations required pursuant to the rules and regulations adopted pursuant to Section 404
of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, without qualification, when next due, if required.

benefits (other than employee benefits applicable to all employees, which benefits are set forth on Section 4.17(a) of EFSI’s
Disclosure Memorandum), bonuses, incentives, or commissions paid the past three years, and visa and Green Card application status.
To EFSI’s Knowledge, no employee of any EFSI Entity is a party to, or is otherwise bound by, any agreement or arrangement,
including any confidentiality or non-competition agreement, that in any way that currently adversely affects or restricts, or
after the Closing will adversely affect or restrict, the performance of such employee’s duties. No Key Employee of any EFSI
Entity has provided written notice to a EFSI Entity of his or her intent to terminate his or her employment with the applicable
EFSI Entity as of the date hereof.
(c) Section 4.16(c)
of EFSI’s Disclosure Memorandum contains a complete and accurate listing of the name (if an entity, including the name of
the individuals employed by or providing service on behalf of such entity) and contact information of each individual who has
provided personal services to any EFSI Entity as an independent contractor, consultant, freelancer or other service provider (collectively,
“EFSI Independent Contractors”) during the prior three years. A copy
of each Contract relating to the services provided by any such EFSI Independent Contractor to a EFSI Entity has been made available
to JMSB prior to the date hereof. The engagement of each EFSI Independent Contractor of each EFSI Entity is terminable at will
by the relevant EFSI Entity without any penalty or liability incurred by any EFSI Entity.
(d) The
EFSI Entities have no leased employees or employees provided by a third party staffing or other entity (including any “leased
employees” within the meaning of Code Section 414(n)).
(e) The EFSI Entities have, or will have no later than the Closing Date, paid all accrued salaries, bonuses, commissions, and
other wages due to be paid through the Closing Date. Each of the EFSI Entities is and at all times has been in material compliance
with all Laws governing the employment of labor and the withholding of taxes, including all contractual commitments and all such
Laws relating to wages, hours, affirmative action, collective bargaining, discrimination, civil rights, disability accommodation,
employee leave, unemployment, worker classification, immigration, safety and health, workers’ compensation and the collection
and payment of withholding or Social Security taxes and similar taxes. With respect to all split life insurance policies contributed
to by a EFSI Entity or for which the premiums are paid by a EFSI Entity, the EFSI Entities have included as compensation for Tax
purposes all amounts that are required to be so included.
26
(f) There are no, and since January 1, 2023 there have not been any, wage and hour claims, discrimination, disability
accommodation, or other employment claims or charges by any employee or prospective employee of any EFSI Entity, nor, to EFSI’s
Knowledge, are there any such claims or charges currently threatened by any employee of any EFSI Entity. To EFSI’s Knowledge,
there are no governmental investigations open with or under consideration by the United States Department of Labor (“DOL”),
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, or any other federal or state governmental body charged with administering or enforcing
employment related Laws.
(g) All
of the EFSI Entities’ employees are employed in the United States and are either United States citizens or are legally entitled
to work in the United States under the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, other United States immigration Laws, and the
Laws related to the employment of non-United States citizens applicable in the state in which the employees are employed. The
EFSI Entities have completed a Form I-9 (Employment Eligibility Verification) for each employee, and each such Form I-9
has since been updated as required by applicable Laws and is correct and complete in all material respects. Each individual who
renders services to any EFSI Entity is properly classified as having the status of an employee or independent contractor or other
non-employee status (including for purposes of taxation and Tax reporting and under EFSI Benefit Plans).
(h) Since
January 1, 2023, none of the EFSI Entities has implemented any facility closing or mass layoff, as defined under the WARN
Act, without providing notice in accordance with the WARN Act, and no such actions are currently contemplated, planned or announced.
(i) Since
January 1, 2023, (i) to the Knowledge of EFSI, no officer or director of any EFSI Entity has been the subject of an
allegation of sexual harassment, sexual assault, discrimination, harassment or retaliation, and (ii) none of the EFSI Entities
has entered into any settlement agreements related to allegations of sexual harassment, other sexual misconduct, discrimination,
harassment or retaliation by any employee or director of any EFSI Entity.
4.17. Employee
Benefit Plans.
(a) EFSI has made available to JMSB prior to the execution of this Agreement, true, complete and correct copies (or if not
written, a written summary of its terms) of each material EFSI Benefit Plan. “EFSI
Benefit Plan” means an Employee Benefit Plan (including all amendments thereto), that has been adopted, maintained,
sponsored in whole or in part by, or contributed to or required to be contributed to by any EFSI Entity or EFSI ERISA Affiliate
for the benefit of employees, retirees, dependents, spouses, directors, independent contractors, or other beneficiaries or under
which employees, retirees, former employees, dependents, spouses, directors, independent contractors, or other beneficiaries are
eligible to participate or with respect to which any EFSI Entity or any EFSI ERISA Affiliate has or may have any obligation or
Liability. For the avoidance of doubt, the term “EFSI Benefit Plans” includes plans, programs, policies, and arrangements
sponsored or maintained by a third party professional employer organization in which the current or former employees, retirees,
dependents, spouses, directors, EFSI Independent Contractors, or other beneficiaries of the EFSI Entity or any of its Affiliates
are eligible to participate. Section 4.17(a) of EFSI’s Disclosure Memorandum has a complete and accurate list of all
EFSI Benefit Plans required to be made available to JMSB pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 4.17(a). No
EFSI Benefit Plan is subject to any Laws other than those of the United States or any state, county, or municipality in the United
States. EFSI has made available to JMSB prior to the execution of this Agreement (i) all trust agreements or other funding
arrangements for all EFSI Benefit Plans, (ii) the most recent determination letter or opinion letter from the IRS, (iii) annual
reports or returns, audited or unaudited financial statements, actuarial reports and valuations prepared for any EFSI Benefit
Plan for the current plan year and the preceding plan year, (iv) the most recent summary plan descriptions and any material
modifications thereto, and (v) any non-routine notice, letter or other correspondence with the DOL, IRS, Pension Benefit
Guaranty Corporation (“PBGC”), or any other governmental entity regarding
a EFSI Benefit Plan.
27
(b) Each
EFSI Benefit Plan is and has been maintained in material compliance with the terms of such EFSI Benefit Plan, and in material
compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code, ERISA, and any other applicable Laws. Each EFSI Benefit Plan that is
intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code is so qualified and has received a favorable determination letter,
or for a prototype plan, opinion letter, from the IRS that applies to the EFSI Benefit Plan and on which such EFSI Benefit Plan
is entitled to rely. To EFSI’s Knowledge, nothing has occurred and no circumstance exists that would be reasonably expected
to adversely affect the qualified status of such EFSI Benefit Plan. Within the past three years, no EFSI Entity has taken any
action to take material corrective action with respect to any EFSI Benefit Plan or make a filing under any voluntary correction
program of the IRS, DOL, or any other Regulatory Authority. All assets of each EFSI Benefit Plan that is a retirement plan consist
exclusively of cash and actively traded securities.
(c) There
are no pending, or to EFSI’s Knowledge, threatened or pending claims or disputes under the terms of, or in connection with,
the EFSI Benefit Plans other than claims for benefits in the Ordinary Course, and, to EFSI’s Knowledge, no action, proceeding,
prosecution, inquiry, hearing or investigation or audit has been commenced with respect to any EFSI Benefit Plan. Neither EFSI
nor any Affiliate of EFSI has engaged in any prohibited transactions for which there is not an exemption, within the meaning of
Section 4975 of the Code or Section 406 of ERISA, with respect to any EFSI Benefit Plan and, to EFSI’s Knowledge,
no prohibited transaction has occurred with respect to any EFSI Benefit Plan that would be reasonably expected to result in any
Liability or excise tax under ERISA or the Code.
(d) Neither EFSI nor any EFSI ERISA Affiliate has at any time in the past six years been a party to or maintained, sponsored,
contributed to or has been obligated to contribute to, or had any Liability with respect to, or would reasonably be expected to
have any such obligation to contribute to or Liability with respect to: (i) any plan subject to Title IV of ERISA; (ii) a
“multiemployer plan” (as defined in ERISA Section 3(37) and 4001(a)(3)); (iii) a “multiple employer
plan” (within the meaning of ERISA or the Code); (iv) a self-funded health or welfare benefit plan; (v) any voluntary
employees’ beneficiary association (within the meaning of Section 501(c)(9) of the Code); or (vi) any “multiple
employer welfare arrangement” (within the meaning of Section 3(40) of ERISA).
28
(e) Each
EFSI Benefit Plan or other arrangement of a EFSI Entity that is a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” within
the meaning of Section 409A of the Code has been operated in compliance with the terms of such plan document and the requirements
of Section 409A of the Code.
(f) No
EFSI Entity has any Liability or obligation to provide postretirement health or medical benefits to any EFSI Entity’s employees
or former employees, officers, or directors, or any dependent or beneficiary thereof, except as otherwise required under state
or federal benefits continuation Laws and for which the covered individual pays the full cost of coverage.
(g) All contributions required to be made to any EFSI Benefit Plan by applicable Law or by any plan document or other contractual
undertaking, and all premiums due or payable with respect to insurance policies funding any EFSI Benefit Plan, for any period
through the date hereof, have been timely made or paid in full or, to the extent not required to be made or paid on or before
the date hereof, have been fully reflected on the Books and Records of the EFSI Entities.
(h) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will
(either alone or in conjunction with any other event) result in, cause the vesting, exercisability or delivery of, or increase
in the amount or value of, any payment, right or other benefit to any employee, officer, director or other service provider of
any EFSI Entity, or result in any (i) requirement to fund any benefits or set aside benefits in a trust (including a rabbi
trust), (ii) limitation on the right of any EFSI Entity to amend, merge, terminate or receive a reversion of assets from
any EFSI Benefit Plan or related trust, (iii) acceleration of the time of payment or vesting of any such payment, right,
compensation or benefit, (iv) entitlement by any recipient of any payment or benefit to receive a “gross up”
payment for any income or other Taxes that might be owed with respect to such payment or benefit, or (v) payment of any amount
that would, individually or in combination with any other payment, be treated as an “excess parachute payment” under
Section 280G of the Code.
29
4.18. Material
Contracts.
(a) None of the EFSI Entities, nor any of their respective Assets, businesses, or operations, is a party to, or is bound by

Course), (vi) that grants any “most favored nation” right, right of first refusal, right of first offer or similar

(B) the acquisition, directly or indirectly, of a portion of the assets or business of any other Person (whether by merger,

covenants, indemnities or other obligations (including “earn out” or other contingent payment obligations), (x) between
any EFSI Entity, on the one hand, and (A) any officer or director of any EFSI Entity, or (B) to the Knowledge of EFSI,

of a type available to employees of EFSI generally, (xi) containing any standstill or similar agreement pursuant to which any
EFSI Entity has agreed not to acquire Assets or equity interests of another Person, (xii) that provides for indemnification by

the condition of notice), and (xvi) any other Contract or amendment thereto that is material to any EFSI Entity or their respective
business or Assets and not otherwise entered into in the Ordinary Course. Each Contract of the type described in this Section 4.18(a),

and 4.17(a), are referred to herein as an (“EFSI Contract”).

Subject
to Section 10.14, no EFSI Entity is subject to any cease-and-desist or other order or enforcement action issued by,

is in troubled condition or that the Regulatory Authority is considering issuing, initiating, ordering, or requesting any such
EFSI Regulatory Agreement.
4.20. Investment

(a) Each
EFSI Entity has good title in all material respects to all securities and commodities owned by it (except those sold under repurchase
agreements, pledged to secure deposits of public funds, borrowings of federal funds or borrowings from the Federal Reserve Banks
or Federal Home Loan Banks or held in any fiduciary or agency capacity), free and clear of any Lien, except (i) as set forth
in the financial statements included in the EFSI SEC Reports, and (ii) to the extent such securities or commodities are pledged
in the Ordinary Course to secure obligations of a EFSI Entity. Such securities are valued on the books of EFSI in accordance with
GAAP.
(b) Each EFSI Entity employs, to the extent applicable, investment, securities, risk management and other policies, practices

in any earlier communication with respect to the solicitation of any proxy for the EFSI Meeting.
32
4.24. State
Takeover Statutes and Takeover Provisions.
EFSI has
taken all action required to be taken by it in order to exempt this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby from, and
this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby are exempt from, the requirements of any “moratorium,” “fair
price,” “affiliate transaction,” “business combination,” “control share acquisition”
or similar provision of any state anti-takeover Law or in Article X of EFSI’s Articles of Incorporation (collectively,
with any similar provisions of JMSB’s Articles of Incorporation, “Takeover Statutes”).
In accordance with Section 13.1-730 of the VSCA, no appraisal or dissenters’ rights will be available to the holders
of EFSI Common Stock in connection with the Merger. No EFSI Entity is the beneficial owner (directly or indirectly) of more than
10% of the outstanding capital stock of JMSB entitled to vote in the election of JMSB’s directors.
4.25. Opinion
of Financial Advisor.
Prior to
the execution of this Agreement, the Board of Directors of EFSI has received the opinion of Piper Sandler & Co., which, if
initially rendered verbally has been or will be confirmed by a written opinion, dated the same date, to the effect that, as of
the date of such opinion, the Exchange Ratio in the Merger is fair, from a financial point of view, to Holders of EFSI Common
Stock. Such opinion has not been amended or rescinded as of the date of this Agreement.
4.26. Tax
and Regulatory Matters.
No EFSI
Entity or any Affiliate thereof has taken or agreed to take any action (or failed to take or agreed to fail to take any action),
and EFSI does not have any Knowledge of any agreement, plan or other circumstance, that is reasonably likely to (a) prevent
the Merger or the Bank Merger from qualifying as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the
Code or (b) impede or delay receipt of any of the Requisite Regulatory Approvals.
4.27. Loan
Matters.
(a) Each
Loan currently outstanding (i) is evidenced by notes, agreements or other evidences of indebtedness that are true, genuine
and what they purport to be, (ii) to the extent secured, has been secured by valid Liens which have been perfected and (iii) is
a legal, valid and binding obligation of the obligor named therein, and assuming due authorization, execution and delivery thereof
by such obligor or obligors, enforceable in accordance with its terms (except as may be limited by the Bankruptcy and Equity Exceptions).
(b) The information made available by EFSI to JMSB with respect to outstanding Loans is correct and complete in all material
respects as of the date the information was made available to JMSB. Each outstanding Loan (including Loans held for resale to
investors) was solicited and originated, and is and has been administered and, where applicable, serviced, and the relevant Loan
files are being maintained, in all material respects in accordance with the relevant notes or other credit or security documents,
EFSI’s written underwriting standards (and, in the case of Loans held for resale to investors, the underwriting standards,
if any, of the applicable investors) and with all applicable requirements of Laws.
33
(c) None of the Contracts pursuant to which any EFSI Entity has sold Loans or pools of Loans or participations in Loans or
pools of Loans contains any obligation to repurchase such Loans or interests therein solely on account of a payment default by
the obligor on any such Loan. To EFSI’s Knowledge, each Loan included in a pool of Loans originated, securitized or acquired
by any EFSI Entity (an “EFSI Pool”) meets all eligibility requirements
(including all applicable requirements for obtaining mortgage insurance certificates and Loan guaranty certificates) for inclusion
in such EFSI Pool. All such EFSI Pools have been finally certified or, if required, recertified in accordance with all applicable
Laws, rules and regulations, except where the time for certification or recertification has not yet expired. No EFSI Pools have
been improperly certified, and, except as would not be material to the EFSI Entities, no Loan has been bought out of an EFSI Pool
without all required approvals of the applicable investors. No events or circumstances have occurred, or are reasonably likely
to occur prior to the Effective Time, that would require any EFSI Entity to purchase any mortgage loans sold to secondary market
investors, nor has any such investor made any assertion to any EFSI Entity in writing to that effect.
(d) Section 4.27(d) of the EFSI’s Disclosure Memorandum sets forth a list of all Loans as of June 30, 2026,
by EFSI to any directors, executive officers and principal shareholders (as such terms are defined in Regulation O of the
Federal Reserve Board (12 C.F.R. Part 215) “Regulation O”)
of any EFSI Entity, (ii) there are no employee, officer, director, principal shareholder or other affiliate Loans on which the
borrower is paying a rate other than that reflected in the note or other relevant credit or security agreement or on which the
borrower is paying a rate which was not in compliance with Regulation O and (iii) all such Loans are and were originated
in compliance in all material respects with all applicable Laws.
(e) Subject to Section 10.14, no EFSI Entity is now, nor has it ever been since January 1, 2023, subject to
any material fine, suspension, settlement or other Contract or other administrative agreement or sanction by, or any reduction
in any loan purchase commitment from, any Regulatory Authority relating to the origination, sale or servicing of mortgage or consumer
Loans.
4.28. Deposits.
All of the
deposits held by Bank of Clarke (including the records and documentation pertaining to such deposits) are held in compliance with
(a) all applicable policies, practices and procedures of Bank of Clarke and (b) all applicable Laws, including Money
Laundering Laws and anti-terrorism or embargoed Persons requirements. All deposit account applications have been solicited, taken
and evaluated and applicants notified in a manner that complied with all applicable Laws. All deposit accounts have been maintained
and serviced by EFSI or its Affiliates in accordance with the deposit account agreements and EFSI’s applicable policies,
practices and procedures. The terms and conditions of each deposit account comply with the applicable deposit account agreement
to which they relate. All of the deposits held by Bank of Clarke are insured to the maximum limit set by the FDIC, and the FDIC
premium and all assessments have been fully paid, and no proceedings for the termination or revocation of such insurance are pending,
or, to the Knowledge of EFSI, threatened.
34
4.29. Allowance
for Credit Losses.
The allowance
for credit losses (“ACL”) reflected in the EFSI Financial Statements
was, as of the date of each of the EFSI Financial Statements, in compliance with EFSI’s existing methodology for determining
the adequacy of the ACL and in compliance with the standards established by the applicable Regulatory Authority, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board and GAAP, and is adequate.
4.30. Insurance.
EFSI Entities
are insured with reputable insurers against such risks and in such amounts as the management of EFSI reasonably has determined
to be prudent and consistent with industry practice. The EFSI Entities are in material compliance with their insurance policies
and are not in Default under any of the material terms thereof. There is no material claim by any EFSI Entity against any such
policy. Each such policy is outstanding and in full force and effect and, except for policies insuring against potential liabilities
of officers, directors and employees of the EFSI Entities, EFSI or Bank of Clarke is the sole beneficiary of such policies. All
premiums and other payments due under any such policy have been paid, and all claims thereunder have been filed in due and timely
fashion. To EFSI’s Knowledge, no EFSI Entity has received any written notice of cancelation or non-renewal of any such policies,
nor, to EFSI’s Knowledge, is the termination of any such policies threatened.
4.31. OFAC;
Sanctions.
No EFSI
Entity, nor any director or officer or, to the Knowledge of EFSI, any other Representative or other Person acting on behalf of
any EFSI Entity (a) is engaging or has engaged in the five years prior to the date of this Agreement in the provision or
receipt of any services (including financial services), transfers of goods, software, or technology, or any other activity related

States Law, (c) is a Person currently the subject of any Sanctions, or (d) is located, organized or resident in any
Sanctioned Country.
35
4.32. Brokers
and Finders.
Except for
Piper Sandler & Co., neither EFSI nor any of its officers, directors, employees, or Affiliates has employed any broker or
finder or incurred any Liability for any financial advisory fees, investment bankers’ fees, brokerage fees, commissions,

Stock in connection with the Merger.
5.24. Opinion
of Financial Advisor.
Prior to
the execution of this Agreement, the Board of Directors of JMSB has received the opinion of Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc.,
which, if initially rendered verbally has been or will be confirmed by a written opinion, dated the same date, to the effect that,

and Regulatory Matters.
No JMSB
Entity or any Affiliate thereof has taken or agreed to take any action (or failed to take or agreed to fail to take any action),

the Merger and the Holding Company Merger, taken together, or the Bank Merger from qualifying as a “reorganization”
within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code or (b) impede or delay receipt of any of the Requisite Regulatory Approvals.
55
5.26. Loan
Matters.
(a) Each
Loan currently outstanding (i) is evidenced by notes, agreements or other evidences of indebtedness that are true, genuine
and what they purport to be, (ii) to the extent secured, has been secured by valid Liens which have been perfected and (iii) is
a legal, valid and binding obligation of the obligor named therein, and assuming due authorization, execution and delivery thereof
by such obligor or obligors, enforceable in accordance with its terms (except as may be limited by the Bankruptcy and Equity Exceptions).
(b) The
information made available by JMSB to EFSI with respect to outstanding Loans is correct and complete in all material respects

being maintained, in all material respects in accordance with the relevant notes or other credit or security documents, JMSB’s
written underwriting standards (and, in the case of Loans held for resale to investors, the underwriting standards, if any, of
the applicable investors) and with all applicable requirements of Laws.
(c) None of the Contracts pursuant to which any JMSB Entity has sold Loans or pools of Loans or participations in Loans or
pools of Loans contains any obligation to repurchase such Loans or interests therein solely on account of a payment default by

by any JMSB Entity (a “JMSB Pool”) meets all eligibility requirements

in such JMSB Pool. All such JMSB Pools have been finally certified or, if required, recertified in accordance with all applicable
Laws, rules and regulations, except where the time for certification or recertification has not yet expired. No JMSB Pools have
been improperly certified, and, except as would not be material to the JMSB Entities, no Loan has been bought out of a JMSB Pool
without all required approvals of the applicable investors. No events or circumstances have occurred, or are reasonably likely
to occur prior to the Effective Time, that would require any JMSB Entity to purchase any mortgage loans sold to secondary market
investors, nor has any such investor made any assertion to any JMSB Entity in writing to that effect.
(d) There
are no employee, officer, director, principal shareholder or other affiliate Loans on which the borrower is paying a rate other
than that reflected in the note or other relevant credit or security agreement or on which the borrower is paying a rate which

Meeting, in the case of JMSB, take the following actions if the board of directors of such receiving Party (or any committee thereof)
has (i) determined, in its good faith judgment (after consultation with such receiving Party’s financial advisors of
national reputation and outside legal counsel), that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to
lead to, a Superior Proposal and that the failure to take such actions would reasonably likely cause it to violate its fiduciary
duties under applicable Law, (ii) provided either JMSB or EFSI as the non-receiving Party, as applicable, with at least five
Business Day prior notice of such determination, and (iii) obtained from such Person an executed confidentiality agreement
containing terms at least as restrictive with respect to such Person as the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement is in each

not provide such Person with any exclusive right to negotiate with the receiving Party or otherwise prevent the receiving Party
from providing any information to either JMSB or EFSI as the non-receiving Party, as applicable, in accordance with this Agreement
or otherwise comply with its obligations under this Agreement): (A) furnish information to (but only if the receiving Party

of such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, proposal, offer or request, and the terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal,
inquiry, proposal or offer and any information request (including, in each case, the identity of the Person making any such Acquisition
Proposal, inquiry, proposal, offer or request), and the receiving Party shall as promptly as practicable provide to either JMSB
or EFSI as the non-receiving Party, as applicable, (i) a copy of such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, proposal, offer or request,
if in writing, or (ii) a written summary of the material terms of such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, proposal, offer or
request, if oral. The receiving Party shall provide either JMSB or EFSI as the non-receiving Party, as applicable, as promptly

keep either JMSB or EFSI as the non-receiving Party, as applicable, informed on a current basis of all developments, discussions,
negotiations and communications regarding (including amendments or proposed amendments to) such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry,
proposal, offer or request, including by providing a copy of documentation relating thereto.

of JMSB, the board of directors of EFSI or the board of directors of JMSB, as applicable, may submit this Agreement to EFSI’s
shareholders, in the case of EFSI, or JMSB’s shareholders, in the case of JMSB, without recommendation (although the resolution
approving this Agreement as of the date hereof may not be rescinded or amended), if (i) after the date hereof, such Party
has received a Superior Proposal (after giving effect to the terms of any revised offer by either JMSB or EFSI as the non-receiving
Party, as applicable, pursuant to this Section 7.2(d)), and (ii) the board of directors of such receiving Party
has determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and, in the case of financial matters, with its

duties under applicable Law to make or continue to make the EFSI Recommendation, in the case of EFSI, or the JMSB Recommendation,
in the case of JMSB; provided, that the board of directors of the receiving Party may not take the actions set forth in this Section 7.2(d)
unless:
(i) the receiving Party has complied in all respects with this Section 7.2;
70
(ii) the
receiving Party has provided either JMSB or EFSI as the non-receiving Party, as applicable, at least five Business Days prior
written notice of its intention to take such action and a reasonable description of the events or circumstances giving rise to
its determination to take such action (including all necessary information under Section 7.2(c));
(iii) during
such five Business Day period, the receiving Party has and has caused its financial advisors of national reputation and outside
legal counsel to, consider and negotiate with either JMSB or EFSI as the non-receiving Party, as applicable, in good faith (to
the extent either JMSB or EFSI as the non-receiving Party, as applicable, desires to so negotiate) regarding any proposals, adjustments
or modifications to the terms and conditions of this Agreement proposed by either JMSB or EFSI as the non-receiving Party, as
applicable; and
(iv) the board of directors of the receiving Party has determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors

Proposal remains a Superior Proposal and that it would nevertheless would reasonably likely to be a violation of the directors’
fiduciary duties under applicable Law to make or continue to make the EFSI Recommendation, in the case of EFSI, or the JMSB Recommendation,
in the case of JMSB.

Acquisition Proposal, will be deemed to be a new Acquisition Proposal for purposes of this Section 7.2(d) and will
require a new determination and notice period as referred to in this Section 7.2(d).
(e) EFSI,
EFSI Subsidiaries, JMSB and JMSB Subsidiaries shall, and EFSI and JMSB shall direct their respective Representatives to, (i) immediately

Party and its Representatives) that has made or indicated an intention to make an Acquisition Proposal.
(f) Nothing
contained in this Agreement shall prevent EFSI or JMSB or their respective boards 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 the shareholders of EFSI or JMSB, respectively; provided, that such rules will

of Regulatory Authorities.
(a) The
Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, cooperate with each other and use their respective reasonable
best efforts to prepare all documentation, to effect all applications, notices, petitions, and filings, and to obtain all Permits
and Consents of all third parties and Regulatory Authorities, including the Requisite Regulatory Approvals, that are necessary
or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Mergers), and to comply with the terms
and conditions of all such Permits, Consents, and Requisite Regulatory Approvals. Each of JMSB and EFSI shall use its respective
reasonable best efforts to resolve objections, if any, which may be asserted with respect to this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby by any Regulatory Authority or under any applicable Law or Order. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the JMSB
Entities shall not be permitted (without EFSI’s prior written consent in its sole discretion) or required, and the EFSI
Entities shall not be permitted (without JMSB’s prior written consent in its sole discretion), to take any action, or commit
to take any action, or to accept any restriction, commitment or condition, involving the JMSB Entities or the EFSI Entities, which
would reasonably be expected to be materially burdensome to the business, operations, capital, financial condition or results
of operations on the business of the JMSB Entities or on the business of EFSI Entities, in each case, following the Closing (any
such condition or restriction, a “Burdensome Condition”); provided,
that any restriction imposed on the Surviving Corporation by any Regulatory Authority that limits the ability of the Surviving
Corporation to pay dividends in accordance with Section 7.13(b) shall not be a Burdensome Condition.
(b) Each
of JMSB and EFSI shall have the right to review in advance, and to the extent practicable each will consult with the other, in
each case subject to applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information, with respect to, all material written information
submitted to any third party or Regulatory Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, provided,
that EFSI shall not have the right to review portions of material filed by JMSB with a Regulatory Authority that contain competitively

Authorities necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and each of JMSB and EFSI will
keep the other apprised of the status of material matters relating to completion of the transactions contemplated hereby, including
advising the other Party upon receiving any communication from a Regulatory Authority the Consent of which is required for the
consummation of the Mergers and the other 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 such Requisite Regulatory
Approval may be materially delayed. Each of JMSB and EFSI shall consult with the other in advance of any meeting or conference
with any Regulatory Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (other than non-material and
routine communications between counsel and a Regulatory Authority regarding the regulatory approval process or status) and, to
the extent permitted by such Regulatory Authority, give such other Party and/or its counsel the opportunity to attend and participate
in such meetings and conferences.
72
(c) Subject
to Section 10.14 and applicable Laws, each Party agrees, upon request, to promptly 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 the Registration Statement, Joint Proxy/Prospectus or any other statement, filing, notice
or application made by or on behalf of JMSB, EFSI or any of their respective Subsidiaries to any third party or Regulatory Authority
in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
7.5. Access
to Information; Confidentiality and Notification of Certain Matters.
(a) EFSI
and JMSB shall each promptly advise the other of any (i) fact, change, event, effect, condition, occurrence, development
or circumstance (A) that has had or would reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material
Adverse Effect on it, (B) which it believes would or would be reasonably likely to cause or constitute a material breach
of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein or that reasonably could be expected to give
rise, individually or in the aggregate, to the failure of a condition in ARTICLE 8, or (C) which it believes
would or would be reasonably likely to cause the failure of any of the conditions in ARTICLE 8, or (ii) any notice
or other communication from any Person alleging that the Consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby; 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 7.5(a) or the failure of any condition set forth in ARTICLE 8
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 ARTICLE 8 to be
satisfied; and provided, further, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 7.5(a) shall not cure any
breach of, or noncompliance with, any other provision of this Agreement or limit the remedies available to JMSB. EFSI shall promptly
advise JMSB of any actions taken between the date of this Agreement and the earlier of the Effective Time or the termination of
this Agreement by or on behalf of EFSI or any of the EFSI Subsidiaries that are outside the Ordinary Course, except for actions
that are expressly contemplated herein (other than Section 6.2).
73
(b) Prior to the Effective Time, subject to Section 10.14, each Party shall permit, and cause each of its Subsidiaries
and the Representatives to afford to, the Representatives of the other Party 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
the Party and of their respective financial and legal conditions as the other Party may reasonably request and furnish to the
other Party promptly all other information concerning its business, Assets, information technology systems, Contracts, Books and
Records, and personnel and such other information as the other Party may reasonably request, provided, that such investigation
or requests shall not unreasonably interfere with normal operations of the Party. No investigation shall affect or be deemed to
modify or waive the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of any Party in this Agreement, or the conditions of
any Party’s obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Neither JMSB nor EFSI 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 such Party’s 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.
(c) Each
Party shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and Representatives to, hold and use any information obtained in connection with
this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby in accordance with the terms of the Mutual Nondisclosure and Confidentiality
Agreement dated July 22, 2026, between JMSB and EFSI (the “Confidentiality Agreement”).
7.6. Public
Announcements.
Each of
EFSI and JMSB 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; provided, that nothing in this Section 7.6 shall be deemed to prohibit a Party from
(a) making any press release or other public disclosure as, upon the advice of the outside counsel, is required by Law or
the rules or regulations of any securities exchange, in which case such Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to allow the
other Party reasonable time to comment on such release or disclosure in advance of the issuance thereof, and (b) making any
public disclosure in response to questions from the press, analysts, investors or those attending industry conferences, making
internal announcements to employees or making disclosures in any documents filed with or furnished to the SEC, in each case, to
the extent that such statements are consistent with previous press releases or public disclosures made jointly by the Parties
and otherwise in compliance with this Section 7.6. The Parties have agreed upon the form of a joint press release
and investor presentation announcing the execution of this Agreement.
74
7.7. Tax
Treatment.
(a) Each
of the Parties intends, and undertakes and agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Merger and the Holding
Company Merger, taken together, to, and to take no action which would cause the Merger and the Holding Company Merger, taken together,
not to, qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code for federal income tax
purposes. Each of the Parties intends, and undertakes and agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Bank Merger
to, and to take no action which would cause the Bank Merger, not to, qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning
of Section 368(a) of the Code for federal income tax purposes. The Parties shall cooperate and use their reasonable best
efforts in order to obtain the Tax Opinion.
(b) Each
of the Parties shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause their appropriate officers to execute and deliver to Skadden, Arps,
Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP and Troutman Pepper Locke LLP certificates containing appropriate representations and covenants,
reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to such counsel, at such time or times as may be reasonably requested by such counsel,
including as of the effective date of the Joint Proxy/Prospectus and the Closing Date, in connection with such counsel’s
deliveries of Tax Opinions with respect to the Tax treatment of the Merger.
(c) Unless otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code,
each of the Parties shall report the Merger and the Holding Company Merger as a “reorganization” within the meaning
of Section 368(a) of the Code and the Bank Merger as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a)
of the Code and shall not, in each case, take any inconsistent position therewith in any Tax Return.
7.8. Employee
Benefits.
(a) For
a period of one year following the Effective Time, except as contemplated by this Agreement, JMSB shall cause to be provided to
employees who are actively employed by a EFSI Entity on the Closing Date (“Covered
Employees”) while employed by JMSB following the Closing Date employee benefits under JMSB Benefit Plans, on
terms and conditions which are, in the aggregate, substantially comparable to those provided by JMSB Entities to their similarly
situated employees; provided, that in no event shall any Covered Employee be eligible to participate in any closed or frozen plan
of any JMSB Entity. Until such time as JMSB shall cause the Covered Employees to participate in the applicable JMSB Benefit Plans,
the continued participation of the Covered Employees in the EFSI Benefit Plans shall be deemed to satisfy the foregoing provisions
of this clause (it being understood that participation in JMSB Benefit Plans may commence at different times with respect to each
of JMSB Benefit Plans). For purposes of determining eligibility to participate and vesting under JMSB Benefit Plans, and for purposes
of determining a Covered Employee’s entitlement to paid time off under JMSB’s paid time off program, the service of
the Covered Employees with a EFSI Entity prior to the Effective Time shall be treated as service with a JMSB Entity participating
in such JMSB Benefit Plans, to the same extent that such service was recognized by the EFSI Entities for purposes of a similar
benefit plan; provided, that such recognition of service shall not (i) operate to duplicate any benefits of a Covered Employee
with respect to the same period of service, or (ii) apply for purposes of any plan, program or arrangement (A) under
which similarly-situated employees of JMSB Entities do not receive credit for prior service, (B) that is grandfathered or
frozen, either with respect to level of benefits or participation, or (C) for purposes of retiree medical benefits or level
of benefits under a defined benefit pension plan.
75
(b) From and after the Effective Time, without limiting the generality of Section 7.8(a), with respect to each
Covered Employee (and their beneficiaries) JMSB shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each life, disability, medical,
dental or health plan of JMSB or its Subsidiaries in which each such Covered Employee becomes eligible to participate (to the
extent permitted by the applicable carrier) to (i) waive any preexisting condition limitations to the extent such conditions
were covered under the applicable life, disability, medical, dental or health plans of the EFSI Entities, (ii) provide credit
under medical, dental and health plans for any deductibles, co-payment and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Covered Employees
(and their beneficiaries) under analogous plans of the EFSI Entities prior to the Effective Time during the portion of the applicable
plan year prior to participation, and (iii) waive any waiting period limitation, actively-at-work requirement or evidence
of insurability requirement that would otherwise be applicable to such Covered Employees and their beneficiaries on or after the
Effective Time to the extent such employee or beneficiary had satisfied any similar limitation or requirement under an analogous
plan prior to the Effective Time.
(c) Upon request by JMSB in writing at least ten Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the EFSI Entities shall cooperate
in good faith with JMSB prior to the Closing Date to amend, freeze, terminate or modify any other EFSI Benefit Plan, including
the termination of any EFSI Benefit Plan this is a nonqualified deferred compensation plan (as defined in Section 409A of
the Code) (collectively, “EFSI Nonqualified Plans”), to the extent
and in the manner determined by JMSB effective upon the Closing Date (or at such different time mutually agreed to by the Parties)
and consistent with applicable Law. EFSI shall provide JMSB with a copy of the resolutions, plan amendments, notices and other
documents prepared to effectuate the actions contemplated by this Section 7.8(c), as applicable, and give JMSB a reasonable
opportunity to comment on such documents (which comments shall be considered in good faith), and prior to the Closing Date, EFSI
shall provide JMSB with the final documentation evidencing that the actions contemplated herein have been effectuated. JMSB shall
make all payments due under any EFSI Nonqualified Plans terminated as contemplated by this Section 7.8(c) in accordance
with the terms of the applicable EFSI Benefit Plan and the termination documentation.
(d) Without limiting the generality of Section 10.4, nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended
to confer upon any Person, including any current or former employee, officer, director or consultant of EFSI or any of its Subsidiaries
or Affiliates, any rights, remedies, obligations, or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement. In no event shall the terms
of this Agreement: (i) establish, amend, or modify any EFSI Benefit Plan or any “employee benefit plan” as defined
in Section 3(3) of ERISA, or any other benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement maintained or sponsored by JMSB, EFSI

or consultant of EFSI or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, any right to employment or continued employment or continued service

or Affiliate thereof to discharge or terminate the services of any employee, officer, director or consultant of EFSI or any of
its Subsidiaries or Affiliates at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause.

the Closing Date, EFSI shall provide JMSB with a list of employees who have suffered an “employment loss” (as defined
in the WARN Act) in the 90 days preceding the Closing Date or had a reduction in hours of a least 50% in the 180 days preceding
the Closing Date, each identified by date of employment loss or reduction in hours, employing entity, and facility location.
(f) To the extent any payments or benefits made with respect to, or which could arise as a result of, this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby, could be characterized as an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(1)
of the Code, EFSI shall, prior to the Closing Date, cooperate in good faith with JMSB to effect reasonable measures to minimize
any such payments or benefits from being characterized as “excess parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(1)
of the Code.
(g)
For any Covered Employee whose position is eliminated and who is not offered a comparable position with a JMSB Entity,
JMSB shall cause such Covered Employee to be eligible to receive severance benefits as set forth on Section 7.8(g) of JMSB’s

that provides for severance benefits shall be eligible to receive the severance benefits set forth on Section 7.8(g) of JMSB’s
Disclosure Memorandum.
7.9. Indemnification.
(a) For
a period of six years after the Second Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the
present and former directors or officers of the EFSI Entities (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 the EFSI Entities or, at EFSI’s request, of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, 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) whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, to
the fullest extent permitted under the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the applicable EFSI Entity 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.
77
(b) The Surviving Corporation shall use its reasonable best efforts (and EFSI shall cooperate prior to the Effective Time in
these efforts) to maintain in effect for a period of six years after the Effective Time EFSI’s existing directors’
and officers’ liability insurance policy (provided, that the Surviving Corporation 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 EFSI 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 Corporation 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 EFSI’s directors and officers, 300% of the annual premium payments currently paid on
EFSI’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 Corporation shall use its reasonable best efforts to 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, JMSB or EFSI with the written consent of JMSB (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) may
obtain on or prior to the Effective Time, a six year “tail” prepaid policy providing equivalent coverage to that described
in this Section 7.9(b) at a premium not to exceed the Maximum Amount. If the premium necessary to purchase such “tail”
prepaid policy exceeds the Maximum Amount, EFSI may purchase the most advantageous “tail” prepaid policy obtainable
for a premium equal to the Maximum Amount, and in each case, JMSB and the Surviving Corporation shall have no further obligations
under this Section 7.9(b) other than to maintain such “tail” prepaid policy.
(c) If the Surviving Corporation 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 Corporation (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 Corporation shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.9.
(d) The
provisions of this Section 7.9 are intended to be for the benefit of and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified
Party and their respective heirs and Representatives.
(e) Notwithstanding
anything in this Section 7.9 to the contrary, no indemnification payments will be made to an Indemnified Party with
respect to an administrative proceeding or civil action initiated by any Regulatory Authority that is a federal banking agency
unless all of the following conditions are met: (i) the JMSB board of directors determines in writing that the Indemnified
Party acted in good faith and in the best interests of JMSB or John Marshall Bank; (ii) the JMSB board of directors determines
that the payment will not materially affect JMSB’s or John Marshall Bank’s safety and soundness; (iii) the payment
does not fall within the definition of a prohibited indemnification payment under 12 C.F.R. Part 359; and (iv) the Indemnified
Party agrees in writing to reimburse JMSB, to the extent not covered by permissible insurance, for payments made in the event
that the administrative or civil action instituted by a banking Regulatory Authority results in a final order or settlement in
which the Indemnified Party is assessed a civil money penalty, is prohibited from banking, or is required to cease an action or
perform an affirmative action.
78
7.10. Operating
Functions.
EFSI and
each EFSI Entity, and JMSB and each JMSB Entity, shall cooperate in connection with planning for the efficient and orderly combination

operating functions to be effective at the Effective Time or such later date as JMSB and EFSI may decide. Each of EFSI and JMSB
shall cooperate with the other Party in preparing to execute after the Effective Time conversion or consolidation of systems and
business operations generally (including by entering into customary confidentiality, non-disclosure and similar agreements with
such service providers or the other Party). Prior to Effective Time, each Party shall exercise, consistent with terms and conditions
of this Agreement, complete control and supervision over its and its Subsidiaries’ respective operations.
7.11. Litigation.
Each of
JMSB and EFSI shall give the other Party prompt notice of any legal, administrative, arbitral or other proceedings, claims, actions
or governmental or regulatory investigations of any nature against, or to the Knowledge of EFSI or JMSB, as applicable, threatened
against, JMSB (in the case of JMSB) and EFSI (in the case of EFSI) or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of their current
or former directors or executive officers relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including which would reasonably
be expected to cause any of the conditions set forth in Section 8.1(b) not to be satisfied or to be materially delayed
in their satisfaction, or seeks to enjoin or otherwise restrain the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (“Transaction
Litigation”). Each of JMSB and EFSI shall give the other Party the right to review and comment on all filings
or responses to be made by such Party in connection with any such Transaction Litigation, and will in good faith take such comments
into account. In the case of any Transaction Litigation involving EFSI or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective current
or former directors or executive officers, EFSI shall give JMSB the opportunity to participate (at its own expense) in the defense
or settlement of any such Transaction Litigation. Subject to Section 7.4, neither JMSB nor EFSI 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 Corporation or any of its Affiliates.

promptly with all legal and regulatory requirements that may be imposed on such Party or its Subsidiaries with respect to the
Mergers 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 cooperate with the other Party to obtain) any Permit or Consent by any Regulatory
Authority and any other third party that is required to be obtained by EFSI or JMSB or any of their respective Subsidiaries in
connection with, or to effect, the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to ensure that each Party
has legal, good and marketable title to its respective Assets as of the Closing Date. In case at any time after the Effective
Time any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement (including, any merger between a
JMSB Subsidiary, on the one hand, and a EFSI Subsidiary on the other hand) or to vest the Surviving Corporation and the Surviving
Bank with full title to all Assets, rights, Consents, Permits, immunities and franchises of any of the Parties to the Mergers,
the proper officers and directors of each Party and their respective Subsidiaries shall take all such necessary action as may
be reasonably requested by JMSB.
79

the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement, each of JMSB and EFSI
shall coordinate with the other regarding the declaration of any dividends in respect of JMSB Common Stock and EFSI Common Stock
(to the extent permitted by this Agreement) and the record dates and payment dates relating thereto, it being the intention of
JMSB and EFSI that holders of EFSI Common Stock shall not receive two dividends, or fail to receive one dividend, in any quarter
with respect to their shares of EFSI Common Stock and any shares of JMSB Common Stock any such holder receives in exchange therefor
in the Merger.

will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Surviving Corporation at all times and shall be subject to (i) applicable
Laws, (ii) any required approvals or non-objections from Regulatory Authorities and (iii) any agreements, arrangements
or undertakings that JMSB may need to take in order to obtain the Requisite Regulatory Approvals.

Efforts.
If either
EFSI or JMSB shall have failed to obtain the EFSI Shareholder Approval or the JMSB Shareholder Approval, as applicable, at the
duly convened EFSI Meeting or JMSB Meeting, as applicable, or any adjournment or postponement thereof, each of the Parties shall
in good faith use its reasonable best efforts to negotiate a restructuring of the transaction provided for herein (it being understood
that no Party shall have any obligation to alter or change any material terms, including the amount or kind of the Merger Consideration,
in a manner adverse to such Party or its shareholders or adversely affect the Tax treatment of the Mergers with respect to EFSI’s
shareholders) and resubmit this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (or as restructured pursuant to this Section 7.14)
to its respective shareholders for approval.
7.15. Corporate

shall take all necessary steps to exempt (or ensure the continued exemption of) EFSI, JMSB, Merger Sub, the Mergers and the other
transactions contemplated hereby from any applicable Takeover Statute now or hereafter in effect. If any Takeover Statute may
become, or may purport to be, applicable to the transactions contemplated hereby, each of EFSI and JMSB 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 Statute on any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, if necessary,
challenging the validity or applicability of any such Takeover Statute.

EFSI and
JMSB agree that, in order to most effectively compensate and retain those officers and directors of EFSI subject to the reporting
requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act (the “EFSI Insiders”),
both prior to and after the Effective Time, it is desirable that EFSI Insiders not be subject to a risk of liability under Section 16(b)

Stock in the Merger, and for those compensatory and retentive purposes agree to the provisions of this Section 7.18.

as may be necessary or appropriate to cause (a) any dispositions of EFSI Common Stock, and (b) any acquisitions of JMSB
Common Stock pursuant to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and by any EFSI Insiders who, immediately following the
Merger, will be officers or directors of the Surviving Corporation subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a)

by applicable Law.

Time, JMSB shall assume the due and punctual payment of the principal of and any premium and interest on the Subordinated Notes
according to their terms, and the due and punctual performance of all covenants and conditions thereof or related thereto on the
part of EFSI to be performed or observed. In connection therewith, EFSI and JMSB shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries

Any singular
term in this Agreement shall be deemed to include the plural, and any plural term the singular. Whenever the words “include,”
“includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed followed by the words “without
limitation.” The word “or” shall not be exclusive and “any” means “any and all.” “Extent”
in the phrase “to the extent” means the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and such phrase does not
mean simply “if.” The words “hereby,” “herein,” “hereof,” “hereunder”
and similar terms refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any specific Section. All pronouns and any variations thereof
refer to the masculine, feminine or neuter, singular or plural, as the context may require. If a word or phrase is defined, the
other grammatical forms of such word or phrase have a corresponding meaning. A reference to a document, agreement or instrument
also refers to all addenda, exhibits or schedules thereto. A reference to any “copy” or “copies” of a
document, agreement or instrument means a copy or copies that are true, complete and correct. Unless otherwise specified in this
Agreement, all accounting terms used in this Agreement will be interpreted, and all accounting determinations under this Agreement
will be made, in accordance with GAAP. Any capitalized terms used in any schedule, Exhibit or Disclosure Memorandum but not otherwise
defined therein shall have the meaning set forth in this Agreement. All references to “dollars” or “$”
in this Agreement are to United States dollars. All references to “the transactions contemplated by this Agreement”
(or similar phrases) include the transactions provided for in this Agreement, including the Mergers. Any Contract or Law defined
or referred to herein or in any Contract that is referred to herein means, following the date hereof, such Contract or Law as
from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including (in the case of Contracts) by waiver or consent and (in the case
of Law) by succession of comparable successor Law and references to all attachments thereto and instruments incorporated therein.
The term “made available” means any document or other information that was (a) provided (whether by physical
or electronic delivery) by one Party or its representatives to another Party or its representatives at least three Business Days
prior to the date hereof, (b) included in the virtual data room (on a continuation basis without subsequent modification)
of a Party at least three Business Days prior to the date hereof, or (c) filed or furnished by a Party with the SEC and publicly
available on EDGAR at least three Business Days prior to the date hereof. Whenever this Agreement refers to a number of days,
such number shall refer to calendar days unless Business Days are specified.
100
10.3. Expenses.
(a) Except
as otherwise provided in this Section 10.3, each of the Parties shall bear and pay all direct costs and expenses incurred
by it or on its behalf in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder, including filing, registration and application
fees, printing and mailing fees, and fees and expenses of its own financial or other consultants, investment bankers, accountants,
and counsel, except that each of JMSB and EFSI shall bear and pay one-half of the filing fees payable in connection with the Registration
Statement and the Joint Proxy/Prospectus and aggregate printing and mailing costs incurred in connection with the printing of
the Registration Statement and the Joint Proxy/Prospectus.
(b) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if
(i) (A) either EFSI or JMSB terminates this Agreement pursuant to (1) Section 9.1(b)(ii) or (2) Section 9.1(c)
and the EFSI Shareholder Approval has not been obtained, or (B) JMSB terminates pursuant to Section 9.1(f),
and after the date of this Agreement, any Person has made an Acquisition Proposal or has publicly announced an intention (whether
or not conditional) to make an Acquisition Proposal, in each case with respect to EFSI, and within 12 months of such termination
EFSI shall either (x) consummate an Acquisition Transaction or (y) enter into an Acquisition Agreement with respect
to an Acquisition Transaction, whether or not such Acquisition Transaction is subsequently consummated and, in each case, whether
or not relating to the same Acquisition Proposal that had been made or publicly announced prior to such termination; or
(ii) JMSB terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(d),
then EFSI
shall pay to JMSB an amount equal to $10,100,000 (the “Termination Fee”).
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
(i) (A) either EFSI or JMSB terminates this Agreement pursuant to (1) Section 9.1(b)(iii) or (2) Section 9.1(c)
and the JMSB Shareholder Approval has not been obtained, or (B) EFSI terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(f)
and after the date of this Agreement, any Person has made an Acquisition Proposal or has publicly announced an intention (whether
or not conditional) to make an Acquisition Proposal, in each case with respect to JMSB, and within 12 months of such termination
JMSB shall either (x) consummate an Acquisition Transaction or (y) enter into an Acquisition Agreement with respect
to an Acquisition Transaction, whether or not such Acquisition Transaction is subsequently consummated and, in each case, whether
or not relating to the same Acquisition Proposal that had been made or publicly announced prior to such termination; or
(ii) EFSI
terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(e),
then JMSB
shall pay to EFSI the Termination Fee.
101
(d) If the Termination Fee shall be payable pursuant to subsection (i) of Section 10.3(b) as a result of a
termination of this Agreement by EFSI or subsection (i) of Section 10.3(c) as a result of a termination of this
Agreement by JMSB, the Termination Fee shall be paid in same-day funds at or prior to the earlier of the date of consummation
of such Acquisition Transaction or the date of execution of an Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Acquisition Transaction.
If the Termination Fee shall be payable pursuant to subsection (i) of Section 10.3(b) as a result of a termination
of this Agreement by JMSB, pursuant to subsection (i) of Section 10.3(c) as a result of a termination of this
Agreement by EFSI, pursuant to subsection (ii) of Section 10.3(b), or pursuant to subsection (ii) of Section 10.3(c),
the Termination Fee shall be paid in same-day funds within two Business Days from the date of termination of this Agreement.
(e) The
payment of the Termination Fee by EFSI or JMSB pursuant to Section 10.3(b) or Section 10.3(c), respectively,
constitutes liquidated damages and not a penalty, and except in the case of fraud or willful breach, shall be the sole monetary
remedy of the other Party in the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Sections 9.1(b)(ii), Section 9.1(b)(iii),
9.1(c), 9.1(d), 9.1(e) or 9.1(f). Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 10.3
shall prevent, limit or otherwise restrict the right of JMSB or EFSI to bring or maintain any claims arising out of fraud
or willful breach by the other Party, any other EFSI Entity, in the case of JMSB, or any other JMSB Entity, in the case of EFSI,
or any of their respective Representatives of any provision of this Agreement or any other agreement delivered in connection herewith
and any Termination Fee paid to the other Party hereunder will be offset against any award for damages given to the other Party
pursuant to any claim for fraud or willful breach. The Parties acknowledge that the agreements contained in Section 10.3(b)
are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that without these agreements, they would not
enter into this Agreement; accordingly, if EFSI or JMSB fails to pay any fee payable by it to the other Party pursuant to this
Section 10.3 when due, then such Party shall pay to the other Party its costs and expenses (including attorneys’
fees) in connection with collecting such fee, together with interest on the amount of the fee at a rate per annum equal to the
“prime rate” as published by The Wall Street Journal (in effect on the date such payment was required to be
made) from the date such payment was due under this Agreement until the date of payment.
102
10.4. Entire
Agreement; No Third Party Beneficiaries.
This Agreement
(including the Disclosure Memorandum of each of EFSI and JMSB, the Exhibits, and the other documents and instruments referred
to herein) together with the Confidentiality Agreement, the Subsidiary Plan of Merger, the Holding Company Plan of Merger, and
the EFSI Voting Agreements, and the JMSB Voting Agreements constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to
the transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder and supersedes all prior arrangements or understandings with respect thereto,
written or oral. Nothing in this Agreement (including the documents and instruments referred to herein) expressed or implied,
is intended to confer upon any Person, other than the Parties or their respective successors, any rights, remedies, obligations,
or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, other than as specifically provided in Section 7.9. The representations
and warranties in this Agreement are the product of negotiations among the Parties and are for the sole benefit of the Parties.
Any inaccuracies in such representations and warranties are subject to waiver by the Parties in accordance herewith without notice
or liability to any other Person. In some instances, the representations and warranties in this Agreement may represent an allocation
among the Parties of risks associated with particular matters regardless of the knowledge of any of the Parties. Consequently,
Persons other than the Parties may not rely upon the representations and warranties in this Agreement as characterizations of
actual facts or circumstances as of the date of this Agreement or as of any other date. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof
to the contrary, no Consent of any third party beneficiary will be required to amend, modify to waive any provision of this Agreement.
10.5. Amendments.
To the extent
permitted by Law, this Agreement may be amended by a subsequent writing signed by each of the Parties upon the approval of each
of the Parties, whether before or after the EFSI Shareholder Approval or JMSB Shareholder Approval has been obtained; provided,
that after obtaining the EFSI Shareholder Approval or JMSB Shareholder Approval, there shall be made no amendment that requires
further approval by such shareholders.
10.6. Waivers.
At any time
prior to the Effective Time, the Parties, by action taken or authorized by their respective boards of directors, may, to the extent
permitted by Law, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other Parties, (b) waive
any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto, and (c) waive
compliance with any of the agreements or satisfaction of any conditions contained herein; provided, that after the EFSI Shareholder
Approval or JMSB Shareholder Approval has been obtained, there may not be, without further approval of such shareholders, any
extension or waiver of this Agreement or any portion thereof that requires further approval under applicable Law. Any agreement
on the part of a Party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed on behalf
of such Party, but such extension or waiver or failure to insist on strict compliance with an obligation, covenant, agreement
or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure to comply with an
obligation, covenant, agreement or condition. No failure or delay by any Party in exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any right, power or privilege.
103
10.7. Assignment.
Except as
expressly contemplated hereby, neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned
by any Party without the prior written consent of the other Party. Any purported assignment in contravention hereof shall be null
and void. Subject to the preceding sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable
by the Parties and their respective successors and assigns.

FORM
OF EFSI VOTING AGREEMENT
This
VOTING AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of
September [●], 2026, by and among John Marshall Bancorp, Inc., a Virginia corporation (“JMSB”),
George Sub, Inc., a Virginia corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of JMSB (“Merger Sub”), Eagle Financial
Services, Inc., a Virginia corporation (“EFSI”) and the undersigned shareholder [and director][and executive
officer] (the “Shareholder”) of EFSI in the Shareholder’s capacity
as a shareholder of EFSI, and not in his or her capacity as [a director][an executive officer] of EFSI.
Preamble
Concurrently
with the execution of this Agreement, EFSI, Merger Sub and JMSB are entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of
the date hereof (as amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger
Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, EFSI will merge with and into Merger Sub (the “Merger”),
with EFSI as the surviving corporation in the Merger (sometimes referred to in such capacity as the “Intermediate Surviving
Corporation”) and immediately thereafter the Intermediate Surviving Corporation will merge with and into JMSB,
with JMSB as the surviving corporation (sometimes referred to in such capacity as the “Surviving Corporation”)
(the “Holding Company Merger”).
Simultaneously
with the Merger, Bank of Clarke, a Virginia state-chartered bank and wholly owned subsidiary of EFSI (“Bank
of Clarke”), will merge with and into John Marshall Bank, a Virginia state-chartered bank and wholly owned subsidiary
of JMSB (“John Marshall Bank”), with John Marshall Bank as the surviving
bank (sometimes referred to in such capacity as the “Surviving Bank”) (the “Bank
Merger,” and together with the Merger and the Holding Company Merger, the “Mergers”).
As
of the date hereof, the Shareholder is [a director][an executive officer] of EFSI and has Beneficial Ownership of, in the aggregate,
those shares of common stock, par value $2.50 per share, of EFSI (“EFSI Common Stock”)
specified on Schedule 1 attached hereto. By virtue of the Merger, each share of EFSI Common Stock will be converted
into the right to receive 2.00 shares of JMSB Common Stock (as such term is defined in the Merger Agreement), and therefore the
Mergers are expected to be of substantial benefit to the Shareholder.
As
a condition and inducement to EFSI, JMSB and Merger Sub entering into the Merger Agreement, EFSI, JMSB and Merger Sub have required
that the Shareholder agree, and the Shareholder has agreed, to enter into this Agreement and abide by the covenants and obligations
set forth herein.
Other
individuals, as a condition and inducement to EFSI, JMSB and Merger Sub entering into the Merger Agreement, will enter into and
abide by the covenants and obligations set forth in substantially similar voting agreements.
NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein contained,
and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:
Article I
GENERAL
1.1. Defined
Terms. The following capitalized terms, as used in this Agreement, shall have the meanings set forth below. Capitalized terms
used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Merger Agreement.
“Affiliate”
of a Person means any other Person directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controlling, controlled by or under
common control with such Person.
“Beneficial
Ownership” by a Person of any securities means ownership by any Person who, directly or indirectly, through any
Contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise, has or shares (a) voting power which includes the power to vote,
or to direct the voting of, such security; or (b) investment power which includes the power to dispose, or to direct the disposition,
of such security; and shall otherwise be interpreted in accordance with the term “beneficial ownership” as defined
in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act; provided, that for purposes of determining Beneficial Ownership, a Person shall be deemed
to be the Beneficial Owner of any securities which such Person has, at any time during the term of this Agreement, the right to
acquire pursuant to any Contract, arrangement or understanding or upon the exercise of conversion rights, exchange rights, warrants
or options, or otherwise (irrespective of whether the right to acquire such securities is exercisable immediately or only after
the passage of time, including the passage of time in excess of 60 days, the satisfaction of any conditions, the occurrence of
any event or any combination of the foregoing). The terms “Beneficially Own”
and “Beneficially Owned” shall have a correlative meaning.
“Chosen

“Control”
(including the terms “controlling,” “controlled
by” and “under common control with”), with respect
to the relationship between or among two or more Persons, means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct
or cause the direction of the affairs or management of a Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, as trustee
or executor, by Contract or any other means.
“Constructive
Sale” means, with respect to any security, a short sale with respect to such security, entering into or acquiring
an offsetting derivative Contract with respect to such security, entering into or acquiring a futures or forward Contract to deliver
such security or entering into any other hedging or other derivative transaction that has the effect of either directly or indirectly
materially changing the economic benefits and risks of ownership of any security.
“Covered
Shares” means, with respect to the Shareholder, the Existing Shares, together with any shares of EFSI Common
Stock or other capital stock of EFSI and any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of EFSI Common
Stock or other capital stock of EFSI, in each case, that the Shareholder acquires Beneficial Ownership of on or after the date
hereof. The term “Covered Shares” shall not include any securities owned of record or Beneficially Owned by the Shareholder
as a trustee or fiduciary, and this Agreement is not in any way intended to affect and nothing herein shall limit or affect the
exercise by the Shareholder of his or her fiduciary responsibility in respect of any such securities.
2
“EFSI
Shareholders’ Meeting” has the meaning prescribed to such term in Section 2.1.

delivery of a “.pdf” format data file to deliver a signature to this Agreement or any amendment hereto or the fact

delivery of a “.pdf” format data file as a defense to the formation of a Contract and each party hereto forever waives
any such defense.

or satisfaction of any conditions contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver
shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed on behalf of such party and each other party hereto, but such
extension or waiver or failure to insist on strict compliance with an obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate
as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure to comply with an obligation, covenant, agreement
or condition. No failure or delay by any party hereto in exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege hereunder shall operate
as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any right, power or privilege.
5.9. Enforcement
of Agreement. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur and that the parties hereto would not have any
adequate remedy at law in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement was not performed in accordance with its specific
terms or was otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to
prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof (including the obligations under
Section 2.1) in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy
to which they are entitled at Law or in equity. Each of the parties waives (a) any defense in any action for specific performance
that a remedy at Law would be adequate and (b) any requirement under any Law to post security or a bond as a prerequisite to obtaining
equitable relief.
5.10.
Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall,
as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable
the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions
of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision
shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable. In all such cases, the parties shall use their reasonable best efforts
to substitute a valid, legal and enforceable provision that, insofar as practicable, implements the original purposes and intents
of this Agreement.
12
5.11.
Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by
any party hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties. Any purported assignment in contravention hereof shall
be null and void. Subject to the preceding sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable
by the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
5.12.
Third-Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person,
other than the parties or their respective successors, any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of
this Agreement. The representations and warranties in this Agreement are the product of negotiations among the parties hereto
and are for the sole benefit of the parties. Any inaccuracies in such representations and warranties are subject to waiver by
the parties hereto in accordance herewith without notice or liability to any other Person. In some instances, the representations
and warranties in this Agreement may represent an allocation among the parties hereto of risks associated with particular matters
regardless of the knowledge of any of the parties hereto. Consequently, Persons other than the parties may not rely upon the representations
and warranties in this Agreement as characterizations of actual facts or circumstances as of the date of this Agreement or as
of any other date. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, no Consent, approval or agreement of any third-party
beneficiary will be required to amend, modify or waive any provision of this Agreement.
5.13.
Expenses. Each of the parties hereto shall bear and pay all direct costs and expenses incurred by it or on its behalf
in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder.
5.14.
Efforts. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the Shareholder agrees to execute and deliver
such additional documents as JMSB may reasonably request and use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all
appropriate actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws to consummate
and make effective the transactions contemplated hereby as promptly as practicable. Without limiting the foregoing, the Shareholder
shall execute and deliver to JMSB and any of its designees any proxies reasonably requested by JMSB with respect to the Shareholder’s

delivery of a “.pdf” format data file as a defense to the formation of a Contract and each party hereto forever waives

for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations
and warranties contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto, and (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements
or satisfaction of any conditions contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver
shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed on behalf of such party and each other party hereto, but such
extension or waiver or failure to insist on strict compliance with an obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate
as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure to comply with an obligation, covenant, agreement
or condition. No failure or delay by any party hereto in exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege hereunder shall operate
as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any right, power or privilege.
5.9. Enforcement
of Agreement. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur and that the parties hereto would not have any
adequate remedy at law in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement was not performed in accordance with its specific
terms or was otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to
prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof (including the obligations under
Section 2.1), in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy
to which they are entitled at Law or in equity. Each of the parties waives (a) any defense in any action for specific performance
that a remedy at Law would be adequate and (b) any requirement under any Law to post security or a bond as a prerequisite to obtaining
equitable relief.
5.10.
Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall,
as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable
the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions
of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision

(the “Articles of Merger”) with the Clerk of the State Corporation Commission of the Commonwealth of Virginia
(the “VSCC”), which Articles of Merger will be executed and filed in accordance with the applicable provisions
of the VSCA. The Merger shall become effective at the date and at the time specified in the Articles of Merger filed with the
VSCC (the “Effective Time”).
(c) Articles
of Incorporation and Bylaws. At the Effective Time, (i) the articles of incorporation of EFSI as in effect immediately
prior to the Effective Time shall be amended and restated as of the Effective Time to be the same as the articles of incorporation
of Merger Sub in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that the name of the Surviving Corporation shall be “Eagle

until thereafter further amended or restated in accordance with the provisions thereof and applicable law; and (ii) the bylaws
of EFSI as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be amended and restated as of the Effective Time to be the
same as the bylaws of Merger Sub in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that the name of the Surviving Corporation

until thereafter further amended or restated in accordance with the provisions thereof and applicable Law.
Article II
EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON THE CAPITAL STOCK OF THE CONSTITUENT
CORPORATIONS
Section 2.1
Effect on Capital Stock. Subject to the provisions of this ARTICLE II, at the Effective Time, by virtue of
the Merger and without any action on the part of Merger Sub, EFSI, the Surviving Corporation or the shareholders of any of the
foregoing, the shares of the consolidated corporations shall be converted as follows:
(a) All
shares of capital stock of EFSI issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that are held by EFSI, any EFSI
Subsidiary, JMSB or any JMSB Subsidiary (in each case other than shares held in any Employee Benefit Plans or related trust accounts
or otherwise 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.
(b) Each share of EFSI Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding the Canceled
Shares) shall be converted into the right to receive 2.00 shares (the “Exchange Ratio”) of JMSB Common Stock
(the “Merger Consideration”).
(c) Each share of EFSI Common Stock, when so converted pursuant to Section 2.1(b), 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 EFSI that immediately prior to the Effective Time
represented shares of EFSI Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect to such EFSI Common Stock other than the right
to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with ARTICLE III, including the right, if any, to receive pursuant to
Section 2.4, a Fractional Share Payment (as defined below) payable with respect to such EFSI Common Stock or any dividends
or distributions pursuant to Section 3.1(d).
(d) Each share of common stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted
into and become one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of EFSI, as the Surviving Corporation.
Section 2.2
Anti-Dilution Provisions. If at any time during the period between the date of the Agreement and the Effective Time,
the issued and outstanding shares of EFSI Common Stock or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for shares
of EFSI Common Stock or the issued and outstanding shares of JMSB Common Stock or securities convertible or exchangeable into
or exercisable for shares of JMSB Common Stock, shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class
by reasons of any reclassification, stock split (including reverse stock split), stock dividend or distribution, reorganization,
recapitalization, redenomination, merger, issuer tender or exchange offer or other similar transaction, then the Merger Consideration
(including the Exchange Ratio) shall be equitably and proportionately adjusted, if necessary and without duplication, to reflect
fully the effect of any such change; provided, that in any case, nothing in this Section 2.2 shall be construed to
permit a Party to take any action with respect to its securities that is prohibited by the terms of the Agreement.

Section 2.3
Treatment of Equity Awards.
(a) Treatment of EFSI Restricted Stock Awards. As of immediately prior to the Effective Time, (i) each award of EFSI Common Stock
subject to time-based, performance, or other vesting or lapse restrictions (each, an “EFSI Restricted Stock Award”)
that is outstanding under any EFSI Stock Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall, to the extent not vested, become
fully vested; provided, that to the extent that such award is subject to performance conditions, any performance conditions shall
be deemed to have been satisfied at the target level; and (ii) at the election of the holder of an EFSI Restricted Stock Award,
which shall be delivered to EFSI no earlier than 15 Business Days prior to the Effective Time and no later than five Business
Days prior to the Effective Time, each EFSI Restricted Stock Award shall either be (A) converted automatically into the right
to receive (without interest) the Merger Consideration in respect of each share of EFSI Common Stock subject to such EFSI Restricted
Stock Award immediately prior to the Effective Time, with any fractional shares rounded down to the nearest whole share of JMSB
Common Stock or (B) canceled in consideration for the right to receive a lump sum cash payment with respect thereto equal to the
product of: (x) the Exchange Ratio; (y) the number of shares of EFSI Common Stock represented by such EFSI Restricted Stock Award,
and (z) the Average Closing Price; less any required withholding Taxes; provided, that to the extent that a holder fails to timely
make an election the EFSI Restricted Stock Award shall receive the treatment set forth in (A). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
any EFSI Restricted Stock Awards granted after the date of this Agreement and before the Closing Date (otherwise in compliance
with the terms of this Agreement) (the “New EFSI Restricted Stock Award”) shall not vest as a result of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and instead shall continue to vest following the Effective Date in accordance with
the vesting schedule and terms and conditions of the applicable EFSI Restricted Stock Award subject to adjustments for the transactions
contemplated by the Agreement. At the Effective Time, each New EFSI Restricted Stock Award that is outstanding immediately prior
to the Effective Time shall be converted automatically into a time-based JMSB Restricted Stock Award with the same terms and conditions
as were applicable under such New EFSI Restricted Stock Award prior to the Effective Time (including vesting terms, but excluding
performance-based vesting conditions which shall be deemed to have been satisfied at the target level) (the “New JMSB
Restricted Share Award”). The number of shares of JMSB Common Stock subject to each New JMSB Restricted Share Award
shall be equal to the product (rounded to the nearest whole share) of (x) the Exchange Ratio and (y) the number of shares of EFSI
Common Stock represented by such New EFSI Restricted Stock Award.
(b) Treatment
of JMSB Restricted Stock Awards. As of immediately prior to the Effective Time, each JMSB Restricted Stock Award that is outstanding
under any JMSB Stock Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall, to the extent not vested, become fully vested; provided,
that a holder of a JMSB Restricted Stock Award may elect, with such election to be delivered to JMSB no earlier than 15 Business
Days prior to the Effective Time and no later than five Business Days prior to the Effective Time, for each JMSB Restricted Stock
Award to be canceled in consideration for the right to receive a lump sum cash payment with respect thereto equal to the product
of: (x) the number of shares of JMSB Common Stock represented by such JMSB Restricted Stock Award, and (z) the Average Closing
Price; less any required withholding Taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any JMSB Restricted Stock Awards granted after the
date of this Agreement and before the Closing Date (otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Agreement) shall not vest as
a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and instead shall continue to vest following the Effective Date in
accordance with the vesting schedule and terms and conditions of the applicable JMSB Restricted Stock Award.
3
(c) Payment by Surviving Corporation. To the extent that a holder elects to receive cash payment in respect of the EFSI
Restricted Stock Awards or JMSB Restricted Stock Awards, as applicable, then the Surviving Corporation will pay to the holders
of such EFSI Restricted Stock Awards or JMSB Restricted Stock Awards, as applicable, the amounts described in Section 2.3(a)
or Section 2.3(b), as applicable, as promptly as practical but in any event no later than the third regularly scheduled
payroll date of the Surviving Corporation.
Section 2.4 Fractional
Shares. No certificate, book-entry share or scrip representing fractional shares of JMSB Common Stock
shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, no dividend or distribution of JMSB 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 JMSB. Each holder of shares of EFSI Common Stock
converted pursuant to the Merger who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of JMSB Common
Stock (after taking into account all Certificates or Book-Entry Shares of 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 JMSB Common Stock that
such holder of shares of EFSI Common Stock would otherwise have been entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.1(b)
by (b) the Average Closing Price (the “Fractional Share Payment”).
Article III
Exchange
of Shares
Section 3.1
Exchange Procedures.
(a) Deposit
of Merger Consideration. At or promptly following the Effective Time, JMSB shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited,
with Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, JMSB’s transfer agent, or another exchange agent selected by JMSB (the “Exchange
Agent”), for the benefit of the holders of record of shares of EFSI Common Stock (excluding the Canceled Shares) issued
and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (collectively, the “Holders”), for exchange in accordance
with this ARTICLE III, (i) evidence of JMSB Common Stock in book-entry form issuable pursuant to Section 2.1(b)
for shares of EFSI Common Stock equal to the aggregate Merger Consideration and (ii) immediately available funds, to
the extent determinable, for (A) any Fractional Share Payments and (B) after the Effective Time, if applicable, any
dividends or distributions which such Holders have the right to receive pursuant to Section 3.1(d) (collectively,
the “Exchange Fund”). The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund as directed by
JMSB, 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 paid to JMSB. JMSB shall instruct the Exchange Agent to timely issue the Merger
Consideration and pay the Fractional Share Payment, dividends or distributions, if any, in accordance herewith.
4
(b) Delivery of Merger Consideration. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, JMSB shall cause the
Exchange Agent to mail to each Holder of a Certificate (and Book-Entry Share, if required by the Exchange Agent or at the request
of JMSB) a notice advising such Holders of the effectiveness of the Merger, including appropriate transmittal materials specifying
that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, if applicable, shall pass,
only upon proper delivery of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, if applicable, and instructions for surrendering the Certificates
or Book-Entry Shares, if applicable, to the Exchange Agent (such materials and instructions to include customary provisions with
respect to delivery of an “agent’s message” with respect to Book-Entry Shares). Upon proper surrender of a Certificate
or Book-Entry Shares, if applicable, for exchange and cancelation to the Exchange Agent, together with the appropriate transmittal
materials, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be
required pursuant to such instructions, the Holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be entitled to receive in exchange
therefor (i) the Merger Consideration in non-certificated book-entry form and (ii) a check representing the amount of
(A) any Fractional Share Payment (if any), and (B) any dividends or distributions (if any) which the Holder thereof
has the right to receive pursuant to Section 3.1(d), and the Certificate or Book-Entry Share so surrendered shall
forthwith be canceled. No interest will be paid or accrued for the benefit of Holders on the Merger Consideration or any Fractional
Share Payment (if any) payable upon the surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares.
(c) Share Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, the share transfer books of EFSI shall be closed, and thereafter there
shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of EFSI Common Stock. From and after the Effective Time, Holders who held
shares of EFSI 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 EFSI Common Stock (other than the Canceled Shares) shall
from and after the Effective Time represent for all purposes only the right to receive the consideration provided in ARTICLE
II of the Plan of Merger in exchange therefor, subject, however, to the JMSB’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 EFSI in respect of
such shares of EFSI Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the Plan of Merger and which remain unpaid at the Effective Time.
On or after the Effective Time, any Certificates or Book-Entry Shares presented to the Exchange Agent or the Surviving Corporation
for any reason shall be canceled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration, any Fractional Share Payment (if any) and any dividends
or distributions (if any) pursuant to Section 3.1(d) with respect to the shares of EFSI Common Stock formerly represented
thereby.
5
(d) Dividends with Respect to JMSB Common Stock. No dividends or other distributions declared with respect to JMSB 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 JMSB 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 the terms herein. Subject to applicable Laws, following surrender of any such Certificate or Book-Entry Share (or affidavit
of loss and other documentation required by the Exchange Agent or the Surviving Corporation hereunder in lieu thereof) there shall
be paid to the record holder of the whole shares of JMSB 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 JMSB 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 JMSB Common Stock.
(e) Termination
of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including any interest and other income received with respect thereto)
which remains undistributed to the former Holders on the first anniversary of the Effective Time may, at the request of JMSB,
be delivered to JMSB as the Surviving Corporation, and any former Holders who have not theretofore received any Merger Consideration
(including any Fractional Share Payment and any applicable dividends or other distributions with respect to JMSB Common Stock)
to which they are entitled under this Agreement shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for payment of their claims
with respect thereto (subject to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law, as general creditors thereof).
(f) No
Liability. None of JMSB, EFSI, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation, the Exchange Agent 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. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by Holders
immediately prior to the time at which such amounts would otherwise escheat to, or become property of, any Regulatory Authority
shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of JMSB, free and clear of any claims or interest of any
such holders or their successors, assigns or personal representatives previously entitled thereto.
(g) Withholding
Rights. Each and any of JMSB, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct
and withhold from any consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as JSMB, the Surviving Corporation or the
Exchange Agent is required to deduct and withhold under any provision of applicable Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so
deducted or withheld and paid over to the appropriate Regulatory Authority by JMSB, the Surviving Corporation, or the Exchange
Agent, as applicable, 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 JMSB, the Surviving Corporation, or the Exchange Agent, as applicable.
6
(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 Exchange Agent or Surviving Corporation,
the posting by such Person of a bond in such reasonable and customary amount as the Exchange Agent or Surviving Corporation may
direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue
in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration, any Fractional Share Payment and dividend
or distributions to which the Holder thereof is entitled pursuant to this Agreement.
(i) Transferred
Ownership. In the event of a transfer of ownership of EFSI Common Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of
EFSI, payment of the Merger Consideration (including any Fractional Share Payment and any applicable dividends or other distributions
with respect to JMSB 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 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 JMSB and Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable.

(b)
Each Party agrees that it will bring any action or proceeding in respect of any claim arising out of or related to this
Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby exclusively in any federal or state court of competent jurisdiction located
in the county of Fairfax in the Commonwealth of Virginia (the “Chosen Courts”), and, solely in connection with
claims arising under this Agreement or the transactions that are the subject of this Agreement, (i) irrevocably submits to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts, (ii) waives any objection to laying venue in any such action or proceeding in the

party, and (iv) agrees that service of process upon such party in any such action or proceeding will be effective if notice is
given in accordance with Section 5.04.
(c)
EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED

assignment in contravention of this Section 5.09 shall be null and void.
Section
5.10 Enforcement
of Agreement. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur and that the Parties would not have any adequate remedy
at law in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement was not performed in accordance with its specific terms or was
otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled, without the requirement of posting bond, to an
injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in
any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are
entitled at law or in equity. Each of the Parties waives any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law
would be adequate.
Section 5.11
Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable by any court
of competent jurisdiction, such holding shall not invalidate or render unenforceable any other provisions hereof. Any provision
of this Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree shall remain in full force and effect to the extent not
held invalid or unenforceable. Further the Parties agree that a court of competent jurisdiction may reform any provision of this
Agreement held invalid or unenforceable so as to reflect the intended agreement of the parties hereto.

This VOTING AGREEMENT (this
“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of September [●], 2026, by
and among John Marshall Bancorp, Inc., a Virginia corporation (“JMSB”), George
Sub, Inc., a Virginia corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of JMSB (“Merger Sub”), Eagle Financial Services, Inc.,
a Virginia corporation (“EFSI”) and the undersigned shareholder [and director][and executive officer] (the “Shareholder”)
of EFSI in the Shareholder’s capacity as a shareholder of EFSI, and not in his or her capacity as [a director][an executive officer]

Preamble
Concurrently with the execution
of this Agreement, EFSI, Merger Sub and JMSB are entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof (as amended,
supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”),
pursuant to which, among other things, EFSI will merge with and into Merger Sub (the “Merger”),
with EFSI as the surviving corporation in the Merger (sometimes referred to in such capacity as the “Intermediate Surviving
Corporation”) and immediately thereafter the Intermediate Surviving Corporation will merge with and into JMSB, with JMSB
as the surviving corporation (sometimes referred to in such capacity as the “Surviving Corporation”) (the “Holding
Company Merger”).
Simultaneously with the
Merger, Bank of Clarke, a Virginia state-chartered bank and wholly owned subsidiary of EFSI (“Bank
of Clarke”), will merge with and into John Marshall Bank, a Virginia state-chartered bank and wholly owned subsidiary
of JMSB (“John Marshall Bank”), with John Marshall Bank as the surviving bank
(sometimes referred to in such capacity as the “Surviving Bank”) (the “Bank
Merger,” and together with the Merger and the Holding Company Merger, the “Mergers”).

the Shareholder is [a director][an executive officer] of EFSI and has Beneficial Ownership of, in the aggregate, those shares of common
stock, par value $2.50 per share, of EFSI (“EFSI Common Stock”) specified
on Schedule 1 attached hereto. By virtue of the Merger, each share of EFSI Common Stock will be converted into the right to
receive 2.00 shares of JMSB Common Stock (as such term is defined in the Merger Agreement), and therefore the Mergers are expected to
be of substantial benefit to the Shareholder.
As a condition and inducement
to EFSI, JMSB and Merger Sub entering into the Merger Agreement, EFSI, JMSB and Merger Sub have required that the Shareholder agree, and
the Shareholder has agreed, to enter into this Agreement and abide by the covenants and obligations set forth herein.
Other individuals, as a
condition and inducement to EFSI, JMSB and Merger Sub entering into the Merger Agreement, will enter into and abide by the covenants and
obligations set forth in substantially similar voting agreements.

to insist on strict compliance with an obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with
respect to, any subsequent or other failure to comply with an obligation, covenant, agreement or condition. No failure or delay by any
party hereto in exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial

are entitled at Law or in equity. Each of the parties waives (a) any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at Law
would be adequate and (b) any requirement under any Law to post security or a bond as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief.
5.10.
Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to
that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the
remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this
Agreement in any other jurisdiction. If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted
to be only so broad as is enforceable. In all such cases, the parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to substitute a valid, legal
and enforceable provision that, insofar as practicable, implements the original purposes and intents of this Agreement.
12
5.11.
Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any party
hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties. Any purported assignment in contravention hereof shall be null and void.
Subject to the preceding sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties and
their respective successors and permitted assigns.
5.12.
Third-Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person, other
than the parties or their respective successors, any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement.
The representations and warranties in this Agreement are the product of negotiations among the parties hereto and are for the sole benefit
of the parties. Any inaccuracies in such representations and warranties are subject to waiver by the parties hereto in accordance herewith
without notice or liability to any other Person. In some instances, the representations and warranties in this Agreement may represent
an allocation among the parties hereto of risks associated with particular matters regardless of the knowledge of any of the parties hereto.
Consequently, Persons other than the parties may not rely upon the representations and warranties in this Agreement as characterizations
of actual facts or circumstances as of the date of this Agreement or as of any other date. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof
to the contrary, no Consent, approval or agreement of any third-party beneficiary will be required to amend, modify or waive any provision
of this Agreement.
5.13.

connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder.

additional documents as JMSB may reasonably request and use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate
actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws to consummate and make effective
the transactions contemplated hereby as promptly as practicable. Without limiting the foregoing, the Shareholder shall execute and deliver

to insist on strict compliance with an obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with
respect to, any subsequent or other failure to comply with an obligation, covenant, agreement or condition. No failure or delay by any
party hereto in exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial
exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any right, power or privilege.
5.9.
Enforcement of Agreement. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur and that the parties hereto would
not have any adequate remedy at law in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement was not performed in accordance with its
specific terms or was otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions
to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof (including the obligations under Section
2.1), in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they
are entitled at Law or in equity. Each of the parties waives (a) any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at Law
would be adequate and (b) any requirement under any Law to post security or a bond as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief.
5.10.
Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to
that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the
remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this
Agreement in any other jurisdiction. If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted
to be only so broad as is enforceable. In all such cases, the parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to substitute a valid, legal
and enforceable provision that, insofar as practicable, implements the original purposes and intents of this Agreement.
12
5.11.
Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any party
hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties. Any purported assignment in contravention hereof shall be null and void.
Subject to the preceding sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties and
their respective successors and permitted assigns.
5.12.
Third-Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person, other
than the parties or their respective successors, any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement.
The representations and warranties in this Agreement are the product of negotiations among the parties hereto and are for the sole benefit
of the parties. Any inaccuracies in such representations and warranties are subject to waiver by the parties hereto in accordance herewith

Exhibit 99.1
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
September 8, 2026
John Marshall Bancorp, Inc. and Eagle Financial
Services, Inc.
Announce Strategic Merger
Uniting Two of Virginia’s Leading Community
Banks
RESTON, Va. and BERRYVILLE, Va., September 8, 2026 — John Marshall
Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq: JMSB) (“John Marshall” or the “Company”), the parent company of John Marshall Bank, and
Eagle Financial Services, Inc. (Nasdaq: EFSI) (“EFSI”), the parent company of Bank of Clarke, today jointly announced the
signing of a definitive merger agreement that will bring together two of Virginia’s most respected community banking franchises.
Under the terms of the agreement, at closing, EFSI will merge with and into John Marshall in an all-stock transaction valued at approximately
$253 million, or $46.72 per share of EFSI common stock, based on John Marshall’s closing stock price of $23.36 as of September 4,
2026.
Highlights of the Transaction
· Creates a $4.4 billion, high-performing company — with 23 banking offices forming a single,
contiguous franchise from the Shenandoah Valley through Northern Virginia and adjacent Montgomery County, Maryland to the Nation’s
Capital
· Brings together a deep, complementary leadership team — proven bankers with decades of
combined in-market experience, anchored by leaders who have built their careers in the communities the combined company will serve
· Delivers more for clients and communities — a broader set of capabilities and deeper local
expertise, backed by the resources of a larger bank, while remaining locally driven
· Creates meaningful value for shareholders of both companies — improved profitability and
enhanced capital generation, together with greater scale that positions the combined company for continued long-term growth
“Bank of Clarke has spent nearly a century and a half earning the
trust of the Shenandoah Valley,” said Chris Bergstrom, President and CEO of John Marshall. “Together we will have the scale
to do more for our clients, more for our employees and more for the communities we serve, without giving up the local decision-making
that has defined both of our banks.” Brandon Lorey, President and CEO of Eagle Financial Services, added, “At its core, this
is about bringing together two organizations that think alike, serve customers the same way, and believe in the future of community banking.
By combining our strengths, we're creating a stronger franchise with greater lending capacity, more opportunities for employees, and the
scale to continue investing in our customers and communities for years to come.”
Transaction Details
Under the terms of the definitive merger agreement, which was unanimously
approved by the board of directors of John Marshall and unanimously approved by all present directors of the board of directors of
EFSI, each share of EFSI common stock will be converted into the right to receive 2.0 shares of John Marshall common stock. Based
on John Marshall’s closing stock price of $23.36 as of September 4, 2026, the implied per share consideration is $46.72, representing
an aggregate transaction value of approximately $253 million and a premium of approximately 11.5% to EFSI’s closing stock price
of $41.90 as of the same date.
Following the closing of the transaction, John Marshall expects to increase
its quarterly cash dividend to $0.155 per share, which would result in a quarterly dividend equal to $0.31 per share to EFSI shareholders,
equivalent to EFSI’s current quarterly dividend.
Name, Branding and Headquarters
The combined holding company will be John Marshall Bancorp, Inc. and will
be headquartered in Reston, Virginia. The banking subsidiary will be headquartered in Berryville, Virginia. The company will continue
to trade on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the ticker symbol “JMSB.” Both banking companies will continue to operate under
their current brands, with Bank of Clarke as the brand in its legacy Shenandoah Valley markets, preserving a name that has served the
community since 1881.
Leadership and Governance
The combined company’s board of directors will consist of 12 directors,
6 from John Marshall and 6 from EFSI. Christopher W. Bergstrom will serve as Executive Chairman of the combined company. Cary C. Nelson
will serve as Lead Independent Director of the combined company.
The combined company will be led by a seasoned management team drawing
on the strengths of both organizations.
·
Brandon C. Lorey, current President and Chief Executive Officer of EFSI, will serve as Chief Executive
Officer and a director of both the combined company and the banking subsidiary
·
Kent D. Carstater, current Chief Financial Officer of John Marshall, will serve as President of the
combined company and Chief Operating Officer of the banking subsidiary
·
Joseph T. Zmitrovich, current Chief Banking Officer of EFSI, will serve as Chief Revenue Officer
of the combined company and President of the banking subsidiary
Timing and Approvals
The transaction is expected to close early in the first quarter of 2027,
subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including receipt of required regulatory approvals and approval by the shareholders
of both John Marshall and EFSI. Concurrently with the execution of the merger agreement, the directors and certain executive officers
of EFSI have entered into agreements with John Marshall pursuant to which they have committed to vote their shares of EFSI common
stock in favor of the merger, and the directors and certain executive officers of John Marshall have entered into agreements with EFSI
