If the Closing Date Cash Consideration is reduced by an Employee Retention Plan Adjustment Amount in respect of amounts payable under the Employee Retention Plans (other than the Change in Control Plan) that were not accrued on the Determination Date Balance Sheet, to the extent that any such amounts are thereafter accrued on the Closing Date Balance Sheet, the Closing Date Tangible Equity shall not reflect such accrual to the extent the amount has previously resulted in an Employee Retention Plan Adjustment Amount.

Purchaser Parent, Seller Parent and Seller acknowledge and agree that the Merger will be treated for U.S. income Tax purposes as a taxable sale of all of the assets of Seller Bank to Purchaser Bank in exchange for the Merger Consideration and the assumption by Purchaser Bank of Seller Bank’s Liabilities (including the Liabilities, if any, to which Seller Bank’s assets are subject and to the extent treated as consideration for Tax purposes).

All the outstanding shares of capital stock or other voting securities or equity interests of each Seller Bank Subsidiary have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and non-assessable and are not subject to any preemptive or similar rights. All of the shares of capital stock or other equity or voting interests of each Subsidiary and Minority Interest Business that are owned, directly or indirectly, by Seller Bank or a Seller Bank Subsidiary thereof are free and clear of all Liens (other than restrictions on transfer which arise under applicable Securities Laws, this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents).

(c) In furtherance of the foregoing, the parties hereto and their respective Affiliates shall take or commit to take any and all actions and agree to any conditions or restrictions imposed by any Governmental Authority as may be necessary in order to obtain the foregoing Requisite Regulatory Approvals; provided, however, that notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement that may be to the contrary, no party hereto shall be required to take any action, or commit to take any action, or agree to any condition or restriction, that would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, properties, assets, Liabilities or results of operations of (1) Seller Parent and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (2) Purchaser Parent and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, following the Closing (a “Burdensome Condition”). Subject to applicable Law and the instructions of any Governmental Authority, Purchaser Parent shall inform Seller Parent in writing if any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over Purchaser Parent or its Subsidiaries has advised or notified any of Purchaser Parent or its Subsidiaries of such Governmental Authority’s determination to impose a restriction or requirement in connection with or as a result of the Transactions, which upon compliance therewith would constitute a Burdensome Condition, including reasonable detail regarding the restriction or requirement imposed by the Governmental Authority; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall any party be obligated to provide any other party with any confidential supervisory or regulatory examination materials or information.

(d) Each of Purchaser Parent and Seller Parent shall, upon request, furnish the other with all information concerning itself, its Subsidiaries, directors, officers and shareholders and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with any filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of it or any of its Subsidiaries with or to any third party or Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall a party be obligated to provide the other party with any confidential supervisory or regulatory examination materials or information.

From the date of this Agreement until the Closing, Purchaser Parent and Seller Parent shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, consult with each other before issuing any press release or public statement or making any other public disclosure (including any broad-based employee communication that is reasonably likely to become the subject of public disclosure) related to this Agreement and the Transactions and shall not issue any such press release or public statement or make any other such public disclosure without the prior consent of Purchaser Parent or Seller Parent, as the case may be, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided that nothing in this Section 4.04 shall be deemed to prohibit Purchaser Parent or Seller Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries from making any disclosure necessary, based on the advice of legal counsel (which may be internal counsel), in order to satisfy its disclosure obligations imposed by Law, any stock exchange, or any other self-regulatory organization, or upon request of a Governmental Authority, after making reasonable efforts under the circumstances to consult with the non-disclosing party prior to such disclosure.

4.05 Access; Information.

(a) During the period from the date of this Agreement continuing through the Closing or termination of this Agreement under Section 7.01, Seller Parent, Seller, Seller Bank and their respective Subsidiaries shall afford to Purchaser Parent, Purchaser Bank and their respective officers, directors, employees, counsel, accountants, advisors, representatives and agents (collectively, “Representatives”) reasonable access upon prior notice and during normal business hours, to the officers, employees, properties, offices and other facilities, and to the Contracts, Seller Bank Books and Records and other documents and data (including employee data, to the extent necessary to onboard the Continuing Employees, subject to applicable Law) relating exclusively to the business of Seller Bank, that Purchaser Parent and Purchaser Bank through their respective Representatives, may from time to time reasonably request and Seller Parent, Seller and Seller Bank shall furnish to Purchaser Parent, Purchaser Bank and their respective Representatives all relevant financial, operating and other data and information relating to Seller Bank in Seller Parent’s or its Affiliates’ possession or control which Purchaser Parent or Purchaser Bank through their respective Representatives may from time to time reasonably request, including by providing to Purchaser Parent (1) monthly unaudited consolidated financial statements of Seller and Seller Bank that are prepared for management purposes, which shall be prepared in accordance with the Accounting Principles (other than with respect to the exclusion of the Excluded Subsidiaries) and (2) on a monthly or quarterly basis, as applicable, Seller Bank’s Strategic Performance Reports, Bank Month End Reports, ALCO Reports, Pipeline Reports, ALLL Reports and Asset Quality Reports, each consistent with the forms thereof previously made available to Purchaser Bank, and all similar management reports produced by each business unit of Seller Bank on a monthly or quarterly basis, (3) monthly reports of resignations of any Bank Employee who exceeds Grade 23 or who is a party to an Employee Retention Plan, (4) quarterly credit ratings based on key risk factors, mutually agreed upon by Seller Parent and Purchaser Parent after the date hereof and (5) monthly lists of Extensions of Credit with a non-pass risk rating that are materially modified.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) Seller Parent, Seller and Seller Bank shall not be required to disclose any information where disclosure would (i) breach any agreement with any third party in effect on the date of this Agreement (if Seller Parent, Seller or Seller Bank shall have used commercially reasonable efforts to have obtained the consent of such third party to such disclosure), (ii) result in the loss of any attorney-client privilege or other privilege held by such party or (iii) contravene any Law, in which case the Seller Parent, Seller Bank or Seller, as applicable, will make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements and (B) the distribution or receipt of any information made available under this Section 4.05 shall not affect any other rights of the parties under this Agreement.

(1) Seller Parent and its controlled Affiliates from providing any of the products or services that Seller Parent and such controlled Affiliates (other than Seller Bank, whether alone or jointly with Seller Parent or any other controlled Affiliate thereof) provided to customers prior to or as of the Closing, (A) that may be within the definition of Restricted Services, if such products or services are set forth on Section 4.07(b)(1) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, or (B) that are not within the definition of Restricted Services; or

(2) Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates from acquiring, owning or holding (A) securities of Purchaser Parent or its Affiliates, or (B) up to 5% of the outstanding securities of an entity whose securities are listed and traded on a nationally recognized securities exchange or market, whether or not in the United States of America (provided that neither Seller Parent nor any of its Affiliates otherwise controls the business or affairs of any such entity that is primarily engaged in providing the Restricted Services) or holding or exercising rights of ownership with respect to a security in a fiduciary, custodial or agency capacity or otherwise for the benefit of or on behalf of clients or other unaffiliated beneficiaries; or

The parties hereto further acknowledge that this Section 4.07 constitutes an independent covenant that shall not be affected by performance or nonperformance of any other provision of this Agreement. In the event that any of the provisions of this Section 4.07 should ever be adjudicated and found by a final determination of a court or any other Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction to exceed the time, scope, geographic, or other limitations permitted by applicable Law in any jurisdiction, then such provisions shall be deemed reformed in such jurisdiction to the maximum time, scope, geographic or other limitations enforceable under applicable Law in a means that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable provision, in order to render the restrictive covenants set forth in this Section 4.07 enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law. Each party further acknowledges that a violation of this Section 4.07 would cause immeasurable injury to the other party and that, in the event of a breach by such party or its controlled Affiliates of this Section 4.07, the other party will not have an adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, in the event of any such breach, the non-breaching party shall be entitled to seek such equitable and injunctive relief as may be available to restrain the breaching party and its controlled Affiliates from the violation of the provisions hereof in any court of competent jurisdiction and injunctive relief without the necessity of posting a bond or proving special damages. Nothing herein, however, shall be construed as prohibiting any party from pursuing any other remedies available at law or equity for such breach, including the recovery of damages.

- 57 -

(c) The parties hereto acknowledge that the covenants in this Section 4.08 have been made in order to induce the parties to enter into and consummate the Transactions and that each such party would not enter into and consummate the Transactions without the agreement of the other party to the covenants contained in this Section 4.08. The parties hereto further acknowledge that this Section 4.08 constitutes an independent covenant that shall not be affected by performance or nonperformance of any other provision of this Agreement. In the event that any of the provisions of this Section 4.08 should ever be adjudicated and found by a final determination of a court or any other Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction to exceed the time, scope, geographic, or other limitations permitted by applicable Law in any jurisdiction, then such provisions shall be deemed reformed in such jurisdiction to the maximum time, scope, geographic or other limitations enforceable under applicable Law in a means that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable provision, in order to render the restrictive covenants set forth in this Section 4.08 enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law. Each party further acknowledges that a violation of this Section 4.08 would cause immeasurable injury to the other party and that, in the event of a breach by such party or its controlled Affiliates of this Section 4.08, the other party will not have an adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, in the event of any such breach, the non-breaching party shall be entitled to seek such equitable and injunctive relief as may be available to restrain the breaching party and its controlled Affiliates from the violation of the provisions hereof in any court of competent jurisdiction and injunctive relief without the necessity of posting a bond or proving special damages.

(b) For a period of one year after the Effective Time (the “Continuation Period”), Purchaser Parent shall provide, or cause its Subsidiaries to provide to each Bank Employee who continues employment with Purchaser Parent or any of its Subsidiaries following the Effective Time (each, a “Continuing Employee”), with (1) base salary or wages, as applicable, and target annual incentive opportunities that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to those provided to each such employee as of immediately prior to the Closing Date and (2) retirement and welfare benefits that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to those provided to similarly situated employees of Purchaser Parent or any of its Subsidiaries.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if as a result of any Continuing Employee ceasing to be employed by Purchaser Parent prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date or otherwise, the amounts accrued on the Determination Date Balance Sheet for amounts payable pursuant to the Employee Retention Plans on the first anniversary of the Closing Date exceeds the amount actually paid by Purchaser Bank pursuant to the Employee Retention Plans in respect of payments due on the first anniversary of Closing (such excess, the “Excess Retention Amount”), Purchaser Bank shall reimburse Seller Parent in an amount equal to the Excess Retention Amount no later than the fourteen (14) month anniversary of the Closing Date. On or prior to the fourteen (14) month anniversary of the Closing Date, Purchaser Bank shall provide Seller Parent a schedule containing the names of all Continuing Employees, the payments made by Purchaser Bank to such Continuing Employees following the Closing Date pursuant to the Employee Retention Plans and the Excess Retention Amount, if any.

SURVIVAL AND INDEMNIFICATION

6.01 Survival.

All representations and warranties made by any party in this Agreement shall survive the Closing Date until the date that is eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date, except with respect to, and to the extent of, any claim of which written notice in accordance with Section 6.04 or Section 6.05 has been given in good faith by one party to the other parties prior to such expiration; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) the Fundamental Representations shall survive the Closing Date indefinitely, (b) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.02(m) (Employee Benefit Plans) shall survive until the expiry of the applicable statute of limitations, (c) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.02(z) (Environmental Liability) shall survive until the third anniversary of the Closing Date, and (d) Section 3.02(o) (Taxes) shall survive as specified in Section 4.14. All covenants and agreements contained herein to be performed on or prior to the Closing shall survive the Closing until the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date. The covenants and agreements contained herein to be performed after the Closing, including the indemnification obligations contained in this Article VI, shall survive until fully satisfied in accordance with their terms.

6.02 Indemnification.

(a) By Seller Parent. Except with respect to Taxes, which are covered by Section 4.14, from and after the Effective Time, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VI, Seller Parent shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser Parent, its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives (each, a “Purchaser Indemnitee”) against, and hold them harmless from and against, any loss, liability, claim, damage, award, judgment, penalty, cost or expense (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, to the extent, directly or indirectly, resulting from, related to or arising out of:

(1) any breach of any of the representations or warranties made by Seller Parent in this Agreement, other than any breach of Section 3.02(o), which shall be governed by Section 4.14;

(2) any failure by Seller Parent, Seller or Seller Bank to perform any of their respective covenants, obligations or agreements contained in this Agreement; and

(3) any Liability relating to Synergy One, OMAFIN and SB Capital (the “Excluded Subsidiary Matters”).

(b) By Purchaser Parent. Except with respect to Taxes, which are covered by Section 4.14, from and after the Effective Time, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VI, Purchaser Parent shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller Parent, its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives (each, a “Seller Indemnitee”) against, and hold them harmless from and against, any Losses, as incurred, to the extent, directly or indirectly, resulting from, related to or arising out of:

- 72 -

(1) any breach of any of the representations or warranties made by Purchaser Parent in this Agreement;

(2) any failure by Purchaser Parent or Purchaser Bank to perform any of their respective covenants, obligations or agreements contained in this Agreement; and

(3) any Liability of Seller Bank related to its businesses or assets or any liability or obligation to the extent resulting from Purchaser Parent’s or Seller Bank’s failure to pay, discharge and perform any such liability or obligation when and as due, whether such liability or obligation is now in existence or hereafter incurred (except for such matters for which Seller Parent may be obligated to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnitees pursuant to this Section 6.02).

(c) Limitations. For purposes of calculating Losses subject to indemnification under Section 4.14 and this Article VI, any “materiality,” or “Seller Material Adverse Effect” or “Purchaser Material Adverse Effect” qualifications in the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements shall be disregarded. Seller Parent shall not be liable to the Purchaser Indemnitees pursuant to Section 6.02(a)(1) until the Losses with respect to the matters contemplated by such Section exceed an aggregate amount equal to $5,000,000 dollars (the “Deductible”), in which case, Seller Parent shall be liable for all Losses with respect to such matters in excess of the Deductible, up to an aggregate maximum amount payable equal to $100,000,000 dollars (the “Indemnity Cap”); provided, that, to the extent that any Loss with respect to such matters arises out of, results from or relates to a breach of any Fundamental Representation made by Seller Parent or fraud, neither the Deductible nor the Indemnity Cap shall apply. Purchaser Parent shall not be liable to the Seller Indemnitees pursuant to Section 6.02(b)(1) until the Losses with respect to such matters exceed the Deductible, in which case, Purchaser Parent shall be liable for all Losses with respect to such matters in excess of the Deductible, up to an aggregate maximum amount payable equal to the Indemnity Cap; provided, that, to the extent that any Loss arises out of, results from or relates to a breach of any Fundamental Representation made by Purchaser Parent or fraud, neither the Deductible nor the Indemnity Cap shall apply. For the avoidance of doubt, the Deductible and Indemnity Cap shall not apply to any Losses with respect to Taxes, which are covered by Section 4.14. In addition to the other limitations set forth in this Section 6.02(c), in no event shall Seller Parent’s maximum aggregate Liability for all Losses pursuant to Sections 4.14 and 6.02(a) exceed the Purchase Price.

6.03 Matters Involving Third Parties.

(a) Except with respect to Taxes, which are covered by Section 4.14, each Person entitled to indemnification under this Article VI (the “Indemnified Person”) shall give notice to the Person required to provide indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnifying Person”) promptly after such Indemnified Person receives written notice of any claim, action, suit, proceeding or demand asserted by any Person who is not a party (or a successor to a party) to this Agreement (a “Third-Party Claim”), which notice shall (1) set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances pertaining thereto and the basis for the Indemnified Person’s right to indemnification, (2) state that the Indemnified Person has incurred or paid or, in good faith, believes it will have to incur or pay, Losses in an aggregate stated amount (where practicable) arising from such Third-Party Claim, and (3) include copies of all material pleadings, correspondence and other written evidence of such Third-Party Claim; provided that the failure by an Indemnified Person to timely notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve any Indemnifying Person of its obligations under this Article VI except to the extent that such failure prejudices such Indemnifying Person. Thereafter, in the event that the Indemnifying Person assumes the defense of such Third-Party Claim pursuant to Section 6.03(b), the Indemnified Person shall deliver to the Indemnifying Person copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Person relating to the Third-Party Claim.

- 73 -

(b) Except with respect to Taxes, which are covered by Section 4.14, the Indemnifying Person will have the right to assume and thereafter conduct the defense of the Third-Party Claim with counsel of its choice, at the Indemnifying Person’s sole cost and expense (which assumption must be made by the Indemnifying Person, by notice to the Indemnified Person hereto in writing, within thirty (30) days after having been notified by the Indemnified Person of the existence of such Third-Party Claims); provided, however, the Indemnifying Person shall assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim resulting from, related to or arising out of any Excluded Subsidiary Matters; provided, further, that the Indemnifying Person shall not have the right to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim if the claim seeks equitable or material non-monetary remedies or obligations on the Indemnified Person and; provided, further, that by assuming the defense of a Third-Party Claim the Indemnifying Person acknowledges its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Person with respect to all or a significant portion of such Third-Party Claim. The Indemnifying Person will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), unless the judgment or proposed settlement (1) involves only the payment of money damages against which the Indemnified Person is indemnified by the Indemnifying Person, covers the full amount of the Loss in such Third-Party Claim and releases the Indemnified Person and its Affiliates from all Liability or obligation in connection with such Third-Party Claim, (2) does not impose an injunction or other non-monetary relief upon the Indemnified Person and (3) does not involve a finding or admission of any violation of Law or other wrongdoing by the Indemnified Person; provided, further, that a settlement or compromise of a Third-Party Claim by the Indemnifying Person without an admission of violation of Law or other wrongdoing shall not relieve the Indemnifying Person from any claim that the Indemnified Persons are entitled to indemnification in accordance with the terms of this Agreement in connection with such Third-Party Claim. Counsel selected by the Indemnifying Person to defend any such Third-Party Claim shall be a recognized law firm with the experience and resources to defend the Indemnified Person against any such Third-Party Claim in any such proceeding. If the Indemnifying Person elects to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim, (A) the Indemnified Person will cooperate in all reasonable respects with the Indemnifying Person and its attorneys in such defense and (B) the Indemnifying Person will not be liable to the Indemnified Person for legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof unless the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person are both named parties to the proceedings and the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded, based on the advice of counsel, that representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing material interests between them. In any such action or proceeding, the Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at its own expense. Provided that an Indemnified Person has given the Indemnifying Person notice of a Third-Party Claim as required hereunder, unless an Indemnifying Person assumes the defense of the Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Person may defend against the Third-Party Claim in any manner it may reasonably deem appropriate, and the Indemnifying Person shall be bound by any final determination with respect to such Third-Party Claim prior to such assumption; provided, however, that the Indemnified Person may not agree to any settlement without the consent of the Indemnifying Person, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; it being understood that, to the extent an Indemnifying Person has withheld its consent for the Indemnified Person to agree to such settlement, the Indemnified Person shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder for Losses in excess of the proposed settlement amount. Each party shall reasonably cooperate with the other parties by providing records and information that are reasonably relevant to any Third-Party Claim on a timely basis, and shall in good faith make its personnel reasonably available to regularly consult with counsel for the other parties and include such counsel in relevant conferences and proceedings to the extent requested by such counsel. Within ten (10) Business Days of determination of the amount of a Third-Party Claim becoming non-appealable (whether as a result of procedural exhaustion or lapse of time), the Indemnifying Person shall pay to the Indemnified Person an amount equal to the aggregate Losses relating to such Third-Party Claim by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account or accounts designated in writing by the indemnified party not less than one (1) Business Day prior to such payment.

- 74 -

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article VI, the parties shall cooperate with each other and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the benefits of any insurance coverage for Third-Party Claims that may be in effect at the time a Third-Party Claim is asserted, and, if any insurance carrier for Seller Parent, any Affiliate of Seller Parent, or Purchaser Parent is obligated or agrees to defend any Third-Party Claim, such defense shall be tendered to such insurance carrier and the rights of the parties among themselves regarding the assumption and control of such defense shall be subject to the reasonable requirements of such insurance carrier. Except as provided in Section 4.17, nothing contained herein shall obligate any party to obtain or continue after the Closing any insurance coverage for any period.

(d) The amount of any Losses of any Indemnified Person under this Article VI and Section 4.14 shall be reduced by the amount, if any, (1) which the Indemnified Person has actually received from any third Person (including, without limitation, any insurance company or other insurance provider or any other right of indemnification or reimbursement from any other Person) (such amount being referred to herein as a “Third-Party Reimbursement”), in respect of the Losses suffered thereby and (2) of all net Tax benefits actually realized by the Indemnified Person through a reduction in Taxes otherwise due as a result of such Losses incurred or suffered by the Indemnified Person. If, after receipt by an Indemnified Person of an indemnification payment hereunder, such Person receives a Third-Party Reimbursement in respect of the same Losses (whether in whole or in part) for which indemnification was made and such Third-Party Reimbursement was not taken into account in assessing the amount of indemnification, then the Indemnified Person shall promptly turn over all or the relevant portion of such Third-Party Reimbursement to the Indemnifying Person up to the amount of the indemnification paid pursuant hereto.

(e) No Indemnifying Person shall have any Liability under this Article VI or Section 4.14 for indirect, speculative, special, incidental, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages, including lost profits (collectively, “Excluded Damages”); provided, however, that this sentence shall not apply to any Losses incurred by an Indemnified Person in a Third-Party Claim that includes claims against the Indemnified Person for Excluded Damages. Any Indemnified Person that becomes aware of a Loss for which it seeks indemnification under this Article VI shall be required to use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the Loss, including taking any actions reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Person, and an Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any Loss to the extent that it is attributable to the Indemnified Person’s failure to mitigate. Seller Parent and its Affiliates shall have no Liability for any Loss (1) to the extent reflected by a specific reserve identified on the face of the Determination Date Balance Sheet or the Seller Financial Statements, except to the extent any such reserve was not calculated in accordance with the Accounting Principles, or (2) that is reflected as a direct adjustment to the Purchase Price, as set forth in Section 2.05(e).

6.04 Direct Claims.

If an Indemnified Person has a claim against an Indemnifying Person under this Agreement that does not involve a Third-Party Claim being asserted against or sought to be collected from such Indemnifying Person (a “Direct Claim”), the Indemnified Person shall deliver notice of such Direct Claim with reasonable promptness to the Indemnifying Person, which notice shall (a) set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances pertaining thereto and the basis for the Indemnified Person’s right to indemnification, (b) state that the Indemnified Person has incurred or paid or, in good faith, believes it will have to incur or pay, Losses in an aggregate stated amount (where practicable) arising from such Direct Claim, and (c) include copies of all material written evidence of such Direct Claim. The failure by an

- 75 -

Indemnified Person to so notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve the Indemnifying Person of its obligations under this Article VI except to the extent that such failure prejudices such Indemnifying Person. Within ten (10) Business Days of the final determination of the amount of the Direct Claim pursuant to the terms of this Section 6.04, the Indemnifying Person shall pay to the Indemnified Person an amount equal to the aggregate Losses relating to such Direct Claim by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account or accounts designated in writing by the Indemnified Person not less than one (1) Business Day prior to such payment.

6.05 Exclusive Remedy.

(a) Notices of claims may not be delivered under this Article VI until after the Effective Time.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, from and after the Effective Time, each of the parties hereby acknowledges and agrees that its sole and exclusive remedy for monetary damages with respect to any and all claims against any of the other parties and their Affiliates for breach of any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, regardless of whether such claim arises in contract, tort, breach of warranty, or any other legal or equitable theory, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions contained in this Article VI and in Section 4.14 and shall be in lieu of any rights the parties may have under Law with respect thereto, except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct (it being expressly understood that such exception in no way limits Section 3.03(l)), and except as provided in Section 2.05, Section 4.07, Section 4.08 and Section 8.10. In furtherance of and subject to the foregoing, each of the parties hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all rights, claims, and causes of action for any misrepresentation or breach of representation, warranty, covenant, agreement, or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against the other party and its Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives arising under or based upon any Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VI.

(c) Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, all amounts paid by Seller Parent or Purchaser Parent under Section 4.14 or Article VI shall be treated for all Tax purposes as adjustments to the Purchase Price.

(d) To the extent any fact, condition or development directly results in an adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant Section 2.05, no claim for indemnification under this Article VI shall be made by a party in respect of such direct adjustment (it being understood that the foregoing shall not preclude any claim for indemnification under this Article VI for Losses incurred by either party, directly or indirectly, resulting from, related to or arising out of any such fact, condition or development, other than to the extent it results directly in a direct adjustment to the Purchase Price).

ARTICLE VII

TERMINATION

7.01 Termination.

(a) by mutual written agreement of Purchaser Parent and Seller Parent;

- 76 -

(b) by either Purchaser Parent or Seller Parent, by giving written notice of such termination to the other party, if any condition to such party’s obligations hereunder has not been satisfied or waived and the Closing shall not have occurred on or prior to August 13, 2020 (the “Termination Date”); provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.01(b) shall not be available to (i) Seller Parent, if a material breach by Seller Parent, Seller or Seller Bank of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation of such party under this Agreement has been the cause of the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such date or (ii) Purchaser Parent, if a material breach by Purchaser Parent or Purchaser Bank of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation of such party under this Agreement has been the cause of the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such date;

(c) by Purchaser Parent or Seller Parent if any court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority shall have issued a judgment, order, injunction, rule or decree, or taken any other action restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting any of the Transactions and such judgment, order, injunction, rule, decree or other action shall have become final and non-appealable;

(d) by Purchaser Parent or Seller Parent if any Governmental Authority that must grant a Requisite Regulatory Approval has denied approval of the consummation of the Merger or the other Transactions or imposed any Burdensome Condition, by final, non-appealable action of such Governmental Authority, unless the failure to obtain a Requisite Regulatory Approval is due to the failure of the party seeking to terminate this Agreement to perform or observe the covenants and agreements of such party set forth herein;

(e) by Purchaser Parent, if Seller Parent has breached any representation or warranty, or any such representation or warranty has become untrue or incorrect, or Seller Parent, Seller or Seller Bank has breached or failed to perform any covenant or agreement, contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to be true or correct or failure to perform would give rise to a failure of the condition set forth in Section 5.03(a) or 5.03(b) (in either case, as if the Closing Date were occurring on the date on which the accuracy of the representation or warranty is being assessed) and is not cured within thirty (30) days after the giving of written notice to the Seller Parent of such breach or is not capable of being cured not later than the Termination Date; or

(f) by Seller Parent, if Purchaser Parent has breached any representation or warranty, or any such representation or warranty has become untrue or incorrect, or Purchaser Parent or Purchaser Bank has breached or failed to perform any covenant or agreement, contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to be true and correct or failure to perform would give rise to a failure of the condition set forth in Section 5.02(a) or 5.02(b) (in either case, as if the Closing Date were occurring on the date on which the accuracy of the representation or warranty is being assessed) and is not cured within thirty (30) days after the giving of written notice to Purchaser Parent of such breach or is not capable of being cured not later than the Termination Date.

7.02 Effect of Termination.

If this Agreement is terminated in accordance with this Article VII, this Agreement shall thereafter become void and have no effect, and no party hereto shall have any liability to any other party hereto or their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, agents or employees in connection with this Agreement; provided, however, and notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, that (a) no such termination shall relieve any party of any liability or damages to the other party resulting from any fraud or willful material breach of this Agreement occurring prior to termination and (b) the provisions set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement and in Section 4.04, this Section 7.02 and Article VIII shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
