(c) If requested by the Purchaser at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall cause Bank to take all actions necessary to terminate Bank’stax-qualified defined contribution retirement plan (the “Bank Retirement Plan”), or cause such plan to be terminated, effective as of no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, and contingent upon the Closing, and provide that participants in the Bank Retirement Plan shall become fully vested in any unvested portion of his or her Bank Retirement Plan account as of the date such plan is terminated. Seller shall provide Purchaser with evidence reasonably acceptable to Purchaser that the Bank Retirement Plan has been terminated (effective no later than immediately prior to the Closing Date and contingent on the Closing). If the Bank Retirement Plan is terminated, then Purchaser shall designate atax-qualified defined contribution retirement plan of the Purchaser (or an Affiliate of the Purchaser) with a qualified cash or deferred arrangement under Section 1081.01(a) of the PR Code that will cover Continuing Employees on and after the Closing Date (“Purchaser Retirement Plan”) and such Purchaser Retirement Plan shall permit each Continuing Employee to make rollover contributions (including rollover of loans), in the form of cash, notes (in the case of loans) or a combination thereof, in an amount equal to the full account balance distributed or distributable to such Continuing Employee from the Bank Retirement Plan to the Purchaser Retirement Plan, to the extent permitted under the PR Code.

(d) Purchaser acknowledges that, following the Closing, certain Continuing Employees will continue to hold equity awards in Seller or an Affiliate of Seller (other than the Bank Entities) (the “Participants”), which will continue to vest in accordance with their terms contingent upon the holder’s continued employment with the Bank Entities (or any successor entity thereto). Purchaser will timely notify Seller when a Participant’s employment with the Bank Entities terminates. Purchaser and Seller will cooperate prior to the Closing to identify a process for timely reporting to the appropriate taxing authorities any income recognizable by any such Participant associated with the vesting, transfer or disposition of such Participant’s equity awards, and timely withhold and remit any associated income or employment taxes (including the employer portion of any associated payroll taxes).

(f) The rejection by any Business Employee of the automatic transfer of employment to Purchaser by virtue of the Stock Sale shall be deemed a voluntary resignation. Such voluntary resignation will not entitle the Business Employee to severance or termination-related payments, benefits or notices from the Bank Entities, the Purchaser or any Affiliate of Purchaser, including but not limited to, statutory severance or any payments or benefits under any compensation plans, programs, agreements or arrangements that may be established or maintained by Purchaser or required to be paid under applicable Law. If the transfer of an individual to an entity other than the Bank Entities or the termination of any individual set forth in Section 4.10(a)(ii) of the Bank Disclosure Schedules entitles such individual to any notice, termination or severance payments under the existing terms of an applicable Business Benefit Plan or as required by U.S. ornon-U.S. Law, then Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and its Affiliates for any such notice, termination and severance payments.

(g) Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to (1) cause any eligibility waiting periods under any group health plans of Purchaser or its Affiliates (collectively, “New Plans”) to be waived with respect to the Continuing Employees and their eligible dependents, to the extent coverage under group health plan is replacing comparable coverage under a Business Benefit Plan in which such Continuing Employee participated immediately before the Closing Date (collectively, “Old Plans”), (2) cause anypre-existing conditions, exclusions or limitations under any New Plans to be waived with respect to the Continuing Employees and their eligible dependents, to the extent such conditions were inapplicable or waived under the comparable Old Plans in which such Continuing Employee participated immediately prior to the Closing Date, (3) give each Continuing Employee credit for the plan year of any New Plan in which the Closing occurs towards applicable deductibles and annualout-of-pocket limits under such New Plan in which the Continuing Employee participates for any eligible medical expenses incurred prior to the Closing during the plan year of the Old Plan in which the Closing occurs for which payment has been made, as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such New Plan, and (4) give each Continuing Employee service credit for such Continuing Employee’s employment with the Bank Entities and their Affiliates for purposes of vesting, benefit accrual and eligibility to participate under each applicable benefit plan of Purchaser and its Affiliates (including vacation accrual and severance benefit

-61-

determinations), as if such service had been performed with Purchaser or the applicable Affiliate, except under defined benefit pension plans, under retiree medical plans, for the purposes of qualifying for subsidized early retirement benefits or to the extent it would result in a duplication of benefits. Except as otherwise prohibited by applicable Law, Purchaser shall credit, and every Continuing Employee shall retain accrued but unusedtime-off entitlements, including vacation and sick leave balances, as applicable, accrued under Seller’s policies and programs immediately prior to the Closing Date and /or accrued balances of paidtime-off or similar programs with Seller as of the Closing Date, which such accruals shall be provided to Purchaser no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date.

(h) Prior to the Closing, before making any written or oral communications to the directors, officers or employees of the Bank Entities pertaining to compensation or benefit matters that are affected by the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Purchaser shall provide Seller with a copy of the intended communication, Seller shall have a reasonable period of time to review and comment on the communication, and Purchaser shall consider any such comments in good faith.

(i) Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to (1) be treated as an amendment of any particular Business Benefit Plan, (2) prevent Purchaser, the Bank Entities or any of their Affiliates from amending or terminating any of their benefit plans or, after the Closing, any Bank Benefit Plan in accordance with their terms, (3) prevent Purchaser, the Bank Entities or any of their Affiliates, after the Closing, from terminating the employment of any Continuing Employee, or (4) create any third-party beneficiary rights in any employee of the Bank Entities, any beneficiary or dependent thereof, or any collective bargaining representative thereof, with respect to the compensation, terms and conditions of employment and/or benefits that may be provided to any Continuing Employee by Purchaser, the Bank Entities or any of their Affiliates or under any benefit plan which Purchaser, the Bank Entities or any of their Affiliates may maintain. For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser shall be responsible for any labor and employment-related liability related to the post-Closing employment of the Business Employees, including any post-Closing termination of such employees.

(j) Seller and Purchaser hereby acknowledge and agree to the covenants and agreements set forth in Section 4.10(j)-(p) of the Bank Disclosure Schedules.

4.11Further Assurances. Before, at and after the Closing, consistent with the terms and conditions hereof, Seller and Purchaser shall and shall cause each of their respective subsidiaries to, and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause their Affiliates to, promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver such instruments, certificates and other documents and take such other action as a Party may reasonably require in order to carry out any of the transactions contemplated hereby. Following the Closing, the Parties shall cooperate with one another to prepare and file all documents and forms and amendments thereto as may be required by applicable Law with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

Except for any (i) Closing Agreement Purchaser Taxes or (ii) Tax accruals on income derived in the ordinary course of business between the date hereof and the Closing Date (provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, Tax accruals on income derived in the ordinary course of business will not include (A) any Tax accruals attributable to the termination of the Shared-Loss Agreements or any other loss sharing agreement, (B) any Tax accruals attributable to a disposition of assets to fund anyPre-Closing Dividends and (C) any Tax accruals attributable to the termination or settlement of the Closing Agreements), Seller shall pay Purchaser the portion of Taxes shown to be due on a Tax Return of the Purchaser or the Bank Entities which are allocable to thePre-Closing Tax Period or thepre-Closing portion of a Straddle Period and attributable to a Bank Entity, within fifteen (15) days of the due date for such Taxes;provided,however, that in computing the amount of Taxes (if any) for which Seller is responsible pursuant to the foregoing, Seller shall be entitled to include in thepre-Closing portion of the relevant Straddle Period all Tax benefits relating to Transaction Deductions and any deductions, credits and any other tax attributes of the Bank Entities from Tax periods (or portions thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date (other than any such deductions, credits or other tax attributes either (i) resulting from Transaction Expenses not paid in accordance withSection 4.22 or (ii) accrued or otherwise reflected as Tax receivables or prepaid Taxes on the Financial Statements), to the extent that such Tax benefits or deductions, credits or other tax attributes properly reduced Taxes reflected on the Tax Return for such Straddle Period. Purchaser shall provide Seller with a copy of a draft of each Straddle Period Tax Return for its review and comment (i) at least forty-five (45) days prior to the filing of such Tax Return or (ii) in the case of a Tax Return that is required to be filed within twenty (20) days of the Closing Date, at least 10 days prior to the date such Tax Return is required to be filed;provided that in the case of a Tax Return that is required to be filed within ten (10) days of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall afford Seller a reasonable opportunity to review such Straddle Period Tax Return prior to filing such Tax

-63-

Return. If Seller and Purchaser disagree as to any item reflected on any Straddle Period Tax Return, such items will be determined by a nationally recognized independent accounting firm selected by mutual agreement of Seller and Purchaser. For purposes of this Agreement, in the case of any Straddle Period, (A) the amount of ad valorem (real property and personal property) Taxes and other Taxes not described in clause (B) below of the Bank Entities for the portion of such Straddle Period that ends on the Closing Date shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the portion of such Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period, and (B) the amount of any sales or use Taxes, value-added Taxes, employment related Taxes, withholding Taxes and Taxes based on or measured by income, receipts or profits of the Bank Entities for the portion of a Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books on the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree that Closing Agreement Purchaser Taxes are Taxes allocable to the Post-Closing Tax Period. Purchaser shall be responsible for any Closing Agreement Purchaser Taxes regardless of when such Taxes arise or are reflected on a Tax Return. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree that Closing Agreement Purchaser Taxes shall not include any Taxes to the extent resulting from or attributable to (i) the settlement of the Closing Agreements at the request of Seller or Bank, or (ii) any action or inaction by Seller or its Affiliates prior to March 1, 2019.

(3) Purchaser shall cause the Bank Entities to promptly furnish information to Seller as reasonably requested by Seller to allow Seller to satisfy its obligations under thisSection 4.12(a).

(b)Post-Closing Refunds; Certain Obligations of Purchaser.

(1) Except for any Closing Agreement Refunds, Purchaser shall pay Seller any Tax refund or credit in lieu of a refund (including any interest paid or credited by a taxing authority with respect thereto) relating to Taxes in respect of the Bank Entities for anyPre-Closing Tax Period or ofPre-Closing Taxes (as defined in each of the Purchase Agreements) within fifteen (15) days of the receipt of such refund; provided, however, that in computing the amount of refunds (if any) which Purchaser shall pay pursuant to the foregoing, Purchaser shall be entitled to exclude any refund or credit in lieu of a refund that is (i) attributable to, or resulting from, a carryback or other use of any item of loss, deduction, credit or other similar item arising in a taxable period after the Closing Date or (ii) accrued or otherwise reflected as Tax receivables or prepaid Taxes on the Financial Statements. Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Bank Entities or other relevant entity to file for and obtain the receipt of any refund to which Seller is entitled under thisSection 4.12(b)(1). Purchaser shall promptly notify Seller in writing of the receipt or availability of any such Tax refund and shall keep Seller informed of the status of any such Tax refund. If any Tax refund or credit in

-64-

lieu of a refund (including any interest paid or credited by a taxing authority with respect thereto) paid over to Seller pursuant to thisSection 4.12(b)(1) is subsequently denied, disallowed or reduced, Seller shall promptly repay the amount so denied, reduced or disallowed to Purchaser. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree that Closing Agreement Refunds are refunds allocable to the Post-Closing Tax Period. Purchaser shall be entitled to any Closing Agreement Refunds regardless of when such refunds arise.

(2) Without the prior written consent of Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), Purchaser shall not, and shall not cause or permit the Bank Entities or any of their other Affiliates to (A) amend any Tax Return filed with respect to anyPre-Closing Tax Period or thepre-Closing portion of a Straddle Period or (B) make any Tax election that would have retroactive effect to anyPre-Closing Tax Period or thepre-Closing portion of a Straddle Period.

(5) furnish the other Party with copies of all correspondence received from any taxing authority in connection with any audit or information request with respect to the Bank Entities for Taxes for which the other Party may have a liability.

(d)Contest Provisions.

(1) Subject to the next sentence, with respect to any Tax Contest (except for any Tax Contests governed bySection 4.25 and Section 4.25 of the Bank Disclosure Schedules) that relates solely to aPre-Closing Tax Period, Seller shall control, at its own expense, proceedings taken in connection with such Tax Contest (including selection of counsel) and, without limiting the foregoing, may in its sole discretion pursue or forego

-65-

any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with any taxing authority with respect thereto and may, at its own expense and in its sole discretion, either pay the Tax and sue for a refund where applicable Law permits such refund suits or contest the Tax Contest in any permissible manner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Tax Contest described in the preceding sentence, Seller shall not (i) settle, compromise or abandon any such Tax Contest without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, to the extent that an adverse determination in such Tax Contest would result in a material Tax liability of Purchaser, the Bank Entities or any of their Affiliates in a Tax period that ends after the Closing, or could resolve an issue that could reasonably be expected to recur in a subsequent period, the resolution of which could bind or reasonably prejudice the resolution of such issue in any subsequent period or (ii) conduct any such Tax Contest in a manner that could result in material disruptions for Purchaser or any Bank Entity (for example, by contesting a Tax prior to payment in a manner that prevents Purchaser or any Bank Entity from receiving withholding clearance certificates or other documentation from an applicable taxing authority that are necessary to conduct its operations or avoid the imposition or collection of material Taxes on an ongoing basis).

(2) Purchaser shall have the right to control the conduct of any Tax Contest that relates to a Straddle Period (except for any Tax Contests governed bySection 4.25 and Section 4.25 of the Bank Disclosure Schedules) so long as the matter does not relate to federal Taxes or state, local or foreign income Taxes applicable to the Bank Entities or Seller (or Affiliate) for any period prior to the Closing Date. If a Tax Contest (except for any Tax Contests governed bySection 4.25 and Section 4.25 of the Bank Disclosure Schedules) that relates to a Straddle Period does relate to federal Taxes or state, local or foreign income Taxes applicable to the Bank Entities or Seller, the Controlling Party shall have the right and obligation to conduct, at its own expense, such Tax Contest, provided that (i) the Controlling Party shall provide theNon-Controlling Party with a timely and reasonably detailed account of the status of such Tax Contest, (ii) the Controlling Party shall consult with theNon-Controlling Party before taking any significant action in connection with such Tax Contest, (iii) the Controlling Party shall consult with theNon-Controlling Party and offer theNon-Controlling Party an opportunity to comment before submitting any written materials prepared or furnished in connection with such Tax Contest, (iv) theNon-Controlling Party shall be entitled to participate in such Tax Contest, (v) the Controlling Party shall not settle, compromise, or abandon any such Tax Contest without obtaining the prior written consent of theNon-Controlling Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and (vi) the Controlling Party shall not conduct any such Tax Contest in a manner that could result in material disruptions for Purchaser or any Bank Entity (for example, by contesting a Tax prior to payment in a manner that prevents Purchaser or any Bank Entity from receiving withholding clearance certificates or other documentation from an applicable Taxing authority

-66-

that are necessary to conduct its operations or avoid the imposition or collection of material Taxes on an ongoing basis). For purposes of this paragraph, “Controlling Party” shall mean Seller, unless Purchaser is reasonably expected to bear the materially greater Tax liability in connection with a Tax Contest described in this paragraph, in which case Purchaser shall be the Controlling Party; and “Non-Controlling Party” shall mean whichever Party is not the Controlling Party with respect to such Tax Contest.

(3) The failure of any Party to give any notice required underSection 4.12(c)(4) shall not relieve the other Party of any of its obligations under thisSection 4.12 except to the extent that the other Party is materially prejudiced by such failure.

(e)Transfer Taxes. Purchaser and Seller shall each be liable for 50% of any transfer, stamp, documentary, registration, sales, use tax and other similar Taxes and any conveyance fee, recording charge and other fees and charges (together with any penalties and interest, “Transfer Taxes”) incurred as a result of the transfers effected pursuant to this Agreement.

(f)Restrictive Covenants. The restrictive covenants contained inSection 4.08 (the “Restrictive Covenants”) are being granted to maintain and preserve the fair market value of the Shares transferred by Seller to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement. Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that: (i) no proceeds shall be received or receivable by Seller or any other Person for granting the Restrictive Covenants and (ii) the Restrictive Covenants are integral to this Agreement.

4.13Pre-Closing Dividends. Prior to or at the Closing, Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause Bank to make (1) thePre-Closing Primary Dividend; and (2) secondarily to thePre-Closing Primary Dividend, one or more dividends or distributions to Seller in an aggregate amount not to exceed $125,000,000.00 (the “Pre-Closing Secondary Dividend” and together with thePre-Closing Primary Dividend, the “Pre-Closing Dividends”) and to obtain the Requisite Regulatory Approvals set forth in Section 5.02(d) of the Bank Disclosure Schedules. In connection with thePre-Closing Primary Dividend, Bank will redeem any of the shares of Second Preferred Stock that are issued and outstanding.

Prior to or at the Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall enter into the Transition Services Agreement. Pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement, commencing at the Closing, Seller shall provide all services and applications that Seller or any of its Affiliates provided to the Bank Entities in the twelve (12)-month period prior to the Closing Date, except for those services (i) that are

-67-

expressly identified on Section 4.14 of the Bank Disclosure Schedules or (ii) which Purchaser notifies Seller in writing prior to the Closing Date that it does not require (referred to as Excluded Services in the Transition Services Agreement),provided, that, to the extent Seller’s ability to provide any other services is dependent on the continuation of such services that Purchaser notifies Seller it does not require, and such dependency has been notified to Purchaser in writing reasonably promptly after receiving such notice from Purchaser that it does not require such services, then such services shall not be considered Excluded Services unless Seller also identifies such services as Excluded Services contemporaneously. Seller further agrees to provide such information and assistance as is reasonably necessary to facilitate Purchaser’s review and assessment of such services. The Parties agree to take such actions contemplated by the following sections of Transition Services Agreement term sheet that are expressly required prior to the Closing Date: “Use of Third-Party Providers or Resources” and “Alternative Arrangements”. Any modifications of such provisions reflected in the Transition Services Agreement shall be deemed effective as the date of this Agreement for purposes of thisSection 4.14. For purposes of thisSection 4.14, “Bank Entities” shall be deemed to include the PR Branch and the Branches.

(b) The Parties will in good faith develop and agree on a transition plan (the “Transition Plan”) within sixty (60) days after date of this Agreement. The Transition Plan will consist of a detailed plan for (i) transitioning Bank and the Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities to Purchaser, including the specific tasks, activities, and projects, and the timing for each of the foregoing, to be completed by each Party prior to the Closing in order to complete such transition in an orderly and efficient manner, as well as such plans and actions as may be required to prepare for the provision of services (as defined in the Transition Services Agreement) by Seller to Purchaser under the Transition Services Agreement); and (ii) identifying and completing any activities necessary for Seller to separate or segregate Bank and the Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities from Seller and Seller’s systems. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Party will appoint three (iii) initial representatives to serve on a transition plan committee (the “Transition Plan Committee”) that will be ultimately responsible for oversight, coordination and implementation of the Transition Plan (with such governance functions as may be agreed between the Parties). Each Party shall be entitled to remove and replace representatives on the Transition Plan Committee as it deems appropriate. The Transition Plan will also identify the responsibility of each of the Parties for any costs associated with the implementation of the Transition Plan (to the extent not already specified in the Transition Services Agreement term sheet set forth inExhibit 1, subject to the general principle that costs associated with (x) Seller’s internal separation of Bank and Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities, including the delivery of data to Purchaser in formats currently maintained by Seller, will be at Seller’s cost and (y) modifications to Seller’s systems, processes and facilities, data mapping, development and other modifications to Seller’s or Bank’s data requested by Purchaser in order to be received by Purchaser will be at Purchaser’s cost.

6.04Matters Involving Third Parties Claims.

(a) Except with respect to Tax Contests, which are covered bySection 4.12(d), each of Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be, making a claim for indemnification under thisArticle VI (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give notice to the Party that may be required to provide indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly, but not later than ten (10) Business Days, after such Indemnified Party (1) receives written notice of any claim, action, suit, proceeding or demand asserted by any Person who is not a Party hereto (or a successor to a Party hereto) to this Agreement or (2) subject toSection 6.06, has actual knowledge of any other claim, event or matter as to which indemnity may be sought (a “Third-Party Claim”), in either of case (1) or (2), setting forth, to the extent practicable under the circumstances, in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances pertaining thereto, including the amount or an estimate of the amount of damages sought to the extent then ascertainable, after reasonable inquiry, by the Indemnified Party, and the basis for the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification;itbeingunderstood that the failure by an Indemnified Party to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent (and only to the extent) that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, deliver to the Indemnifying Party copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the Third-Party Claim.

(b) Except with respect to Tax Contests, which are covered bySection 4.12(d), the Indemnifying Party will have the right at any time, by delivering written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume and thereafter (at the sole expense of the Indemnifying Party unless expressly provided otherwise in thisSection 6.04(b)) conduct the defense of the Third-Party Claim in its sole discretion with counsel of its choice;provided,however, that the Indemnifying Party 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 Party (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 Party is indemnified by the Indemnifying Party, (2) does not impose an injunction or other equitable relief upon the Indemnified Party (unless such relief is ministerial in nature) and (3) does not involve a finding or admission of any violation of Law or other wrongdoing by the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of a

-85-

Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will have the right, but not the obligation, to participate in any such defense and to employ separate counsel of its choosing at its own expense (the cost of which, for the avoidance of doubt, will not be indemnifiable Losses);provided that if the Indemnified Party is advised in writing by outside counsel that an actual or potential conflict of interest (including one or more legal defenses or counterclaims being available to such Indemnified Party or other Indemnified Parties which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party) would make it inappropriate under applicable ethical rules for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party with respect to the Third-Party Claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable and documented fees, costs and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party. Provided that an Indemnified Party has given the Indemnifying Party notice of a Third-Party Claim as required hereunder, if the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of the Third-Party Claim, (x) the Indemnified Party shall defend against the Third-Party Claim, (y) the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable and documented fees, costs and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party during any period in which the Indemnifying Party has not elected to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim and (z) the Indemnifying Party shall be bound by any final determination with respect to such Third-Party Claim prior to its assumption;provided,however, that the Indemnified Party may not agree to any settlement without the consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Each Party shall reasonably cooperate with the other Party by providing records and information on a timely basis that are reasonably relevant to any Third-Party Claim and shall in good faith consult with counsel for the other Party;provided that no Party shall be required to take any such action to the extent doing so would jeopardize any applicable attorney-client or work product privileges.

(c) If Purchaser is the Indemnified Party, Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to seek recovery under all Bank Insurance Policies that are in effect during any period of coverage prepaid by Bank prior to Closing covering the applicable Loss.

(d) The amount of any Losses of any Indemnified Party under thisArticle VI shall be reduced by the amount, if any, (1) received by the Indemnified Party from any third Person (including, without limitation, any insurance company or other insurance provider (such amount being referred to herein as a “Third-Party Reimbursement”)), in respect of the Losses suffered thereby net of all documented costs and expenses reasonably incurred by the Indemnified Party in recovering such Third-Party Reimbursement and (2) of any reduction in Taxes actually realized by the Indemnified Party, in the taxable year in which such Loss is paid. If, after receipt by an Indemnified Party of any 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 Party shall promptly turn over all or the relevant portion of such Third-Party Reimbursement (net of all documented costs and expenses reasonably incurred by the Indemnified Party in recovering such Third-Party Reimbursement) to the Indemnifying Party up to the amount of the indemnification paid pursuant hereto.

6.05Damages.For the avoidance of doubt, in calculating any Losses or alleged Losses with respect to any item or matter, an Indemnified Party will not be entitled to include in Losses any amount for which there was a reserve on Bank’s consolidated balance sheet of December 31, 2018 that is directly attributable to such item or matter. No Party shall be liable under this Agreement or the Purchase Agreements for (1) any consequential damages unless such damages were reasonably foreseeable or (2) without limiting the foregoing, any punitive, special, incidental, exemplary or indirect damages, or any lost revenue, lost profits, loss of business reputation or loss of opportunity, or for any damages that are speculative or not reasonably determinable, except, in each case of clauses (1) and (2), to the extent such Losses are awarded by a Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction in connection with a Third-Party Claim. Any Indemnified Party that becomes aware of a Loss for which it seeks indemnification under thisArticle VI shall be required to mitigate the Loss as and to the extent required under applicable Law.

6.06Direct Claims. If an Indemnified Party has a claim against an Indemnifying Party under this Agreement that does not involve a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall deliver notice of such a claim with reasonable promptness to the Indemnifying Party. The failure by an Indemnified Party to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent (and only to the extent) that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure.

6.07No Contribution; Termination of Indemnification; Exclusive Remedy; No Double Recovery.

(a) From and after the Closing, neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall have or make any claim for indemnification, contribution, set off or similar rights of recovery from Bank, Subsidiary or any of their respective officers, directors or employees with respect to any Losses indemnifiable by Seller hereunder, including on the basis of any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty set forth inSection 3.02 or any representation or warranty set forth in Section 5.1 of the Purchase Agreements, or any breach by, default ornon-performance by, Seller under this Agreement occurring prior to the Closing.

(b) (1) With respect to the representations and warranties made by any Party inArticle III or the Purchase Agreements that survive the Closing Date, the PR Closing Date or the USVI Closing Date, as applicable, until the first (1^st) anniversary thereof pursuant toSection 6.01, the obligation to indemnify and hold harmless any Indemnified Party will terminate on the first (1^st) anniversary of the Closing, the PR Closing or the USVI Closing, as applicable; (2) with respect to all other representations and warranties made by any Party inArticle III or the Purchase Agreements, the

-87-

obligation to indemnify and hold harmless any Indemnified Party will terminate upon the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, plus sixty (60) days in the case of the representations and warranties set forth inSection 3.02(q), Section 5.1(u) of the USVI Purchase Agreement and Section 5.1(m) of the PR Purchase Agreement; and (3) with respect to any other obligation to indemnify or hold harmless any Indemnified Party (other than pursuant toSections 6.02(a)(4),6.02(c) (including the matters set forth on Section 6.02(c) of the Bank Disclosure Schedules),6.03(a)(2) and6.03(a)(4), which shall survive until the relevant statute of limitations plus sixty (60) days), such obligation will terminate on the fifth (5^th) anniversary of the Closing Date, the PR Closing Date or the USVI Closing Date, as applicable;provided,however, that in the case of clauses (1), (2) and (3), such obligations to indemnify and hold harmless will not terminate with respect to any item as to which the Indemnified Party shall have, before the expiration, previously made a claim by delivering a notice of such claim pursuant to, and in accordance with the terms of,Section 4.12(c)(4) or thisArticle VI.

(c) ThisArticle VI (i) with respect to this Agreement will not be effective until after the Closing, (ii) with respect to the PR Purchase Agreement will not become effective until after the PR Closing and (iii) with respect to the USVI Purchase Agreement will not become effective until after the USVI Closing.

(d) From and after the Closing, Purchaser and Seller hereby acknowledge and agree that, except in the case of fraud, their respective sole and exclusive remedy for monetary damages with respect to any and all claims against any other Party and any indemnification for breach of any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or the Purchase Agreements, or in connection with this Agreement or the Purchase Agreements, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions contained in thisArticle VI and shall be in lieu of any rights the Parties may have under Law with respect to monetary damages.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the rights of any Indemnified Party under thisArticle VI shall not be affected by any knowledge acquired, at any time;provided,however, that no Indemnifying Party shall be liable in respect of any claim underSections 6.02(a)(1),6.02(a)(2),6.02(a)(3),6.03(a)(1) or6.03(a)(3), as applicable, to the extent the facts, matters or circumstances giving rise to such claim (i) were known by the Indemnified Party prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Purchase Agreements or (ii) became known by the Indemnified Party after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Purchase Agreements but prior to Closing, the PR Closing or the USVI Closing, as applicable, if (x) such facts, matters or circumstances would have (1) in the case of Seller as the Indemnified Party caused any of the conditions set forth inSection 5.02(a) or5.02(b), Section 8.2(a) of the PR Purchase Agreement (if applicable) or Section 9.2(a) of the USVI Purchase Agreement (if applicable) not to be satisfied or (2) in the case of Purchaser as the Indemnified Party cause any of the conditions set forth in Section 5.03(a) or5.03(b), 8.3(a) of the PR Purchase Agreement (if applicable) or Section 9.3(a) of the USVI Purchase Agreement (if applicable) not

-88-

to be satisfied, (y) the Indemnified Party consummated the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the applicable Purchase Agreement, as applicable, and (z) the Indemnifying Party was not aware of such facts, matters or circumstances at any time prior to the Closing, the PR Closing or the USVI Closing, as applicable.

(f) Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, all amounts paid by Seller or Purchaser pursuant to thisArticle VI shall be treated for all Tax purposes as adjustments to the Consideration.

(g) Neither Seller nor Purchaser shall be entitled to receive indemnification from the other in respect of all or any portion of any Loss more than once (notwithstanding that such Loss may result from breaches of multiple provisions of this Agreement or the Purchase Agreements).

-89-

inaccuracies with respect to any representation or warranty of Seller set forth in the Purchase Agreements) would give rise to a failure of any condition set forth inSections 5.03(a) or5.03(b) and is not capable of being cured within the earlier of (1) thirty (30) days after written notice thereof is given by Purchaser to Seller and (2) the Outside Date (as such date may be extended in accordance with the terms of this Agreement); or
