(c) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the determination of (i) the Closing Seller Bank Balance Sheet and the corresponding calculation of Closing Excess Tangible Common Equity and (ii) the Closing Seller Holdco Balance Sheet and the corresponding calculation of Closing Seller Holdco Net Assets will be final and binding on the parties, unless, within sixty (60) days after receipt by Parent Seller of the Closing Statement, Parent Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing of its disagreement with any amount included therein or omitted therefrom. The parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any such disputed items during the fifteen (15) Business Day period following the receipt by Purchaser of notice of such disagreement (such period, the “Consultation Period”), and disputed items that are resolved by written agreement of the parties in such time period shall be final and binding upon the parties, and the Closing Statement shall be updated accordingly. If the parties are unable to resolve all disputed items within the Consultation Period, the remaining disputed items will be determined by the Accounting Firm. The Accounting Firm will make its determination based solely on written submissions to the Accounting Firm by the parties and their respective Representatives or any oral presentation (or additional written materials) requested by the Accounting Firm but, in any event, not by independent review. Within ten (10) Business Days of the submission of any disputed items to the Accounting Firm, Purchaser and Parent Seller shall concurrently deliver supporting documentation (in writing) to the Accounting Firm (with a copy to the other party). The parties agree that all communications with or to the Accounting Firm will include the other party and that there will be no ex parte communications with the Accounting Firm (including with the personnel of the Accounting Firm assigned to resolve such disputes) with respect to any dispute. The parties shall instruct the Accounting Firm to render a written decision resolving such disputes within fifteen (15) Business Days after such written submissions (or, if later, the date of any oral presentations requested by the Accounting Firm), resolving only those issues in dispute specifically submitted to the Accounting Firm. In resolving any disputed item, the Accounting Firm: (i) will be bound by the applicable provisions set forth in this Agreement, including the applicable definitions and the Reference Statement, (ii) will limit its review to the disputed items submitted to the Accounting Firm in the written submissions of the parties and shall not investigate matters independently and (iii) will not assign a value greater than the greatest value, or lower than the lowest value, for such individual item claimed by any party. The fees and disbursements of the Accounting Firm will be allocated equally between Purchaser and Parent Seller. The parties agree that the resolution of disputes with respect to the calculations and amounts set forth in the Closing Statement (x) will be governed, solely and exclusively, by the procedures set forth in this Section 2.5 and (y) will be conclusive and binding on the parties when rendered by the Accounting Firm, except, in each case, in the case of Fraud, intentional misconduct or manifest error.

(d) If the Closing Excess Tangible Common Equity (as mutually agreed by Parent Seller and Purchaser or finally determined by the Accounting Firm pursuant to Section 2.5(c)) exceeds the Estimated Closing Excess Tangible Common Equity, then Purchaser shall

-23-

make or cause to be made an adjustment payment to Parent Seller in an amount equal to such excess. If the Closing Excess Tangible Common Equity (as mutually agreed by Parent Seller and Purchaser or finally determined by the Accounting Firm pursuant to Section 2.5(c)) is less than the Estimated Closing Excess Tangible Common Equity, then Parent Seller shall make an adjustment payment to or as directed by Purchaser in an amount equal to such difference. Within ten (10) Business Days following such mutual agreement or final determination of the Closing Excess Tangible Common Equity, any payment payable pursuant to this Section 2.5(d) will be paid in immediately available funds in cash to a bank account or accounts designated by Purchaser or Parent Seller, as the case may be, at least two (2) Business Days prior to the expiration of such ten (10) Business Day period. Any payments made pursuant to this Section 2.5(d) will be treated for all Tax purposes as adjustments to the Purchase Price.

(e) If the Closing Seller Holdco Net Assets (as mutually agreed by Parent Seller and Purchaser or finally determined by the Accounting Firm pursuant to Section 2.5(c)) exceeds the Estimated Closing Seller Holdco Net Assets, then Purchaser shall make or cause to be made an adjustment payment to Parent Seller in an amount equal to such excess. If the Closing Seller Holdco Net Assets (as mutually agreed by Parent Seller and Purchaser or finally determined by the Accounting Firm pursuant to Section 2.5(c)) is less than the Estimated Closing Seller Holdco Net Assets, then Parent Seller shall make an adjustment payment to or as directed by Purchaser in an amount equal to such difference. Within ten (10) Business Days following such mutual agreement or final determination of the Closing Seller Holdco Net Assets, any payment payable pursuant to this Section 2.5(e) will be paid in immediately available funds in cash to a bank account or accounts designated by Purchaser or Parent Seller, as the case may be, at least two (2) Business Days prior to the expiration of such ten (10) Business Day period. Any payments made pursuant to this Section 2.5(e) will be treated for all Tax purposes as adjustments to the Purchase Price.

Section 2.6 Tax Treatment. Purchaser, Purchaser U.S. Holding Company, Parent Seller and Seller Intermediate Holding Company acknowledge and agree that the Transfer and Purchase shall be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a taxable purchase and sale of the Seller Holdco Capital Stock. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Parent Seller, Seller Intermediate Holding Company, Purchaser and Purchaser U.S. Holding Company agree that any items of losses, deductions or credits for U.S. federal income Tax purposes resulting from the Transaction Expenses that are at least “more likely than not” deductible in a Seller Tax Period shall be reported as deductions allocable to a Seller Tax Period. The parties hereto agree that, for all U.S. federal and applicable state and local income Tax purposes, the transactions contemplated in this Agreement will be reported in a manner that is consistent with the treatment described in this Section 2.6, and none of the parties or any of their affiliates shall take any position on any Tax Return, or take any other reporting position, inconsistent with such treatment, unless otherwise required by any change in applicable Law or in the interpretation or application thereof, or as a result of any “determination” as defined under Section 1313 of the Code or any similar provision of applicable U.S. state or local Tax Law, and the party taking such position shall provide prior written notice to the other party of such position and the basis thereof as promptly as reasonably practicable.

Section 2.7 Withholding. Purchaser and its Subsidiaries shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement, such

-24-

amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any provision of any U.S. federal, state, local or foreign Tax Law. If Purchaser determines that it or any of its Subsidiaries is required to deduct or withhold any amount from any payment to be made pursuant to this Agreement, Purchaser shall provide notice to Parent Seller of Purchaser’s intent to deduct or withhold such amount and the basis for such deduction or withholding at least thirty (30) days before any such deduction or withholding is made to the extent reasonably practicable, or shall otherwise provide such notice as promptly as reasonably practicable, and Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with Parent Seller in order to eliminate or to reduce any such deduction or withholding, including providing a reasonable opportunity for Parent Seller to provide forms or other evidence that would mitigate, reduce or eliminate such deduction or withholding. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld, such deducted and 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.

Section 2.8 Holdco Merger.

(a) Following the Effective Time, Seller Holdco will merge with and into Purchaser U.S. Holding Company (the “Holdco Merger”), with Purchaser U.S. Holding Company as the surviving corporation in the Holdco Merger and, following the Holdco Merger, the separate corporate existence of Seller Holdco shall cease. The parties agree that the Holdco Merger shall become effective at such time following the Effective Time as Purchaser shall specify (the “Holdco Merger Effective Time”). On or prior to the Holdco Merger Effective Time, Parent Seller shall cause Seller Holdco, and Purchaser shall cause Purchaser U.S. Holding Company, to execute such certificates or articles of merger and such other documents and certificates as are necessary to effectuate the Holdco Merger.

(e) The shares of capital stock of Purchaser U.S. Holding Company issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Holdco Merger Effective Time shall not be affected by the Holdco Merger and, accordingly, each share of capital stock of Purchaser U.S. Holding Company issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Holdco Merger shall, at and after the Holdco Merger Effective Time, remain issued and outstanding.

Seller Bank has all requisite power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now conducted in all material respects and is duly qualified to do business as a foreign entity and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where the character of the property owned or leased by it or the nature of its activities makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The deposit accounts of Seller Bank are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) through the Deposit Insurance Fund to the fullest extent permitted by law, and all material premiums and assessments required to be paid in connection therewith have been paid when due, and no proceedings for the termination of such insurance are pending or to the Knowledge of the Seller Bank threatened.

Section 3.3(b) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule contains a complete and accurate list of the type and number of authorized and outstanding equity interests of each Subsidiary of Seller Holdco.

(ii) Seller Intermediate Holding Company shall be entitled to any refunds of Taxes (whether in the form of cash received or a credit against Taxes otherwise payable) received by Seller Holdco or any of its Subsidiaries in respect of the Seller Tax Period, except to the extent the entitlement to such refund (A) was reflected in Closing Tangible Common Equity or Closing Seller Holdco Net Assets or (B) arises as a result of a carryback to any Seller Tax Period of any net operating loss, capital loss or other Tax attribute arising in a Purchaser Bank Tax Period (or, in the event of a Straddle Period, the netting of such Tax attributes arising in a Purchaser Bank Tax Period against income or gain arising in a Seller Tax Period), in each case, net of costs and reasonable expenses.

(iii) In the case of any Taxes that are payable for a Straddle Period, the portion of such Tax that relates to the portion of such taxable period ending on the Closing Date shall (A) in the case of any Taxes not based on net income or on receipts, 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 Straddle Period ending on the date hereof and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period and (B) in the case of any Taxes based on net income or on receipts (e.g., sales and use Taxes), be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the relevant taxable period ended on the date hereof. To the extent any income of Seller Holdco or any of its Subsidiaries is attributable to an interest in an entity or arrangement classified as a partnership or other “flow-through” entity for Tax purposes, such entity or arrangement shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as if its taxable year ended on the Closing Date and Taxes attributable to the income and gain of each such entity through the Closing Date shall be considered to be attributable to the portion of the taxable period ending on the Closing Date.

-67-

(iv) For the avoidance of doubt, no Person shall be entitled to recover more than once with respect to the same amount (i.e., no double-counting).

(b) Tax Returns. Parent Seller shall, at its own expense, be responsible for preparing and filing (i) all Tax Returns of Seller Holdco and its Subsidiaries for all periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date that are required to be filed on or prior to the Closing Date (taking into account any applicable extensions) (“Seller Holdco Tax Returns”) and (ii) all Tax Returns that include Seller Holdco or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Parent Seller or any of its Affiliates other than Seller Holdco and its Subsidiaries, on the other hand (“Combined Tax Returns” and, together with Seller Holdco Tax Returns, “Seller Tax Returns”). All Seller Tax Returns shall be prepared on a basis consistent with the past practices of Parent Seller or its applicable Affiliate except to the extent (i) failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to adversely affect Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including Seller Holdco and its Subsidiaries) or (ii) otherwise required by a change in Law. Parent Seller shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Purchaser each Seller Tax Return (or in the case of any Combined Tax Returns, the relevant portions thereof relating solely to Seller Holdco and its Subsidiaries, subject to Section 7.1(c)) at least thirty (30) calendar days (twenty-five (25) calendar days in the case of corresponding U.S. state or local returns (“Corresponding Returns”)) prior to the due date thereof (taking into account any extensions thereof) and shall reflect on the filed return any reasonable comments received from Purchaser in writing within twenty (20) calendar days (fifteen (15) calendar days in the case of Corresponding Returns) following the date such Tax Returns are delivered by Parent Seller to Purchaser. Parent Seller shall file or cause to be filed all Seller Tax Returns and shall pay or cause to be paid any Seller Indemnified Taxes shown as due on such Seller Tax Returns. Purchaser shall prepare and file all Tax Returns of Seller Holdco and its Subsidiaries that are not Seller Tax Returns (“Purchaser Tax Returns”), and pay or cause to be paid any Taxes shown as due on such Tax Returns (subject to Purchaser’s right to indemnification for Seller Indemnified Taxes). Purchaser Tax Returns for any Seller Tax Period or Straddle Period shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the past practices of the relevant entity except to the extent (i) failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to adversely affect Parent Seller or any of its Affiliates, (ii) otherwise required by a change in Law, or (iii) Purchaser reasonably determines that there is not at least “substantial authority” for a material position reflected on such Tax Return, provided, that Purchaser shall provide Parent Seller at least twenty (20) days to provide a written tax opinion, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, of a nationally recognized law firm or accounting firm experienced in Tax matters, concluding that there is at least “substantial authority” (as defined under Section 6662 of the Code (or successor provisions thereof)) for such position, and Purchaser agrees notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.9(c) to file such Tax Return in a manner consistent with such written tax opinion. No later than two (2) Business Days prior to the due date (taking into account extensions) for Purchaser filing any Tax Return pursuant to this Section 7.9(b), Parent Seller shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, pay to Purchaser an amount equal to any Seller Indemnified Taxes shown as due and payable with respect to such Tax Return.

(c) Seller Review of Tax Returns. With respect to any Purchaser Tax Return reflecting more than a de minimis amount of Seller Indemnified Taxes, Purchaser shall provide Parent Seller with copies of such Tax Return promptly after Purchaser has prepared such Tax Return but in no event later than thirty (30) calendar days (twenty-five (25) calendar days in the case of Corresponding Returns) prior to the due date (taking into account extensions) for filing

-68-

such Tax Return, provided, that in the case of any Tax Return required to be filed on a monthly basis, Purchaser shall provide Parent Seller with copies of such Tax Return reasonably in advance of the due date therefor. If Parent Seller disputes any items shown on any such Tax Return affecting Seller Indemnified Taxes, Parent Seller shall notify Purchaser within twenty (20) calendar days (fifteen (15) calendar days in the case of Corresponding Returns) after receiving such Tax Return. Purchaser and Parent Seller shall negotiate in good faith and use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any disputed items prior to the due date (taking into account extensions) for filing such Tax Return. In the event that Purchaser and Parent Seller are unable to resolve any disputed items prior to the due date for filing such Tax Return, (i) Purchaser shall be permitted to file such Tax Return reflecting Purchaser’s position with respect to any disputed items, (ii) as promptly as practicable following the filing of such Tax Return, Parent Seller and Purchaser shall cause the Accounting Firm to resolve such dispute (the costs and expenses of which shall be borne equally by the parties), and (iii) to the extent necessary, Purchaser shall file an amended Tax Return to reflect the resolution of such disputed items by the Accounting Firm. No later than two (2) Business Days prior to the due date (taking into account extensions) for Purchaser filing any Tax Return pursuant to this Section 7.9(c), Parent Seller shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, pay to Purchaser an amount equal to any Seller Indemnified Taxes shown as due and payable with respect to such Tax Return.

(d) Transfer Taxes. All Transfer Taxes shall be borne and paid fifty percent (50%) by Purchaser and its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and fifty percent (50%) by Parent Seller and its Subsidiaries (other than Seller Holdco or any of its Subsidiaries), on the other hand. The party responsible under applicable Law for filing the Tax Returns with respect to such Transfer Taxes shall prepare and timely file such Tax Returns and promptly provide a copy of such Tax Returns to the other party. Purchaser and Parent Seller shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, reasonably cooperate to timely prepare and file any Tax Returns or other filings relating to such Transfer Taxes, including any claim for exemption or exclusion from the application or imposition of any Transfer Taxes.

(e) Tax Sharing Agreements. Effective as of no later than the Closing, any and all Tax sharing or allocation agreements or arrangements to which Seller Holdco or any of its Subsidiaries is a party (other than any customary Tax indemnification provisions contained in commercial Contracts not primarily related to Taxes (such as financing or employment Contracts with Tax gross-up obligations or leases with Tax escalation provisions)) shall be terminated, such that none of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, Seller Holdco and its Subsidiaries) shall have any further liability thereunder. The parties to any such terminated agreement or arrangement shall, immediately prior to such termination, pay all amounts accrued and owing, if any, thereunder.

(f) Timing of Indemnity Payments. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.9(a), Section 7.9(b) or Section 7.9(c), any payment required to be made pursuant to this Section 7.9 shall be made within ten (10) days after Purchaser makes written demand upon Parent Seller (but, in the case of any payment required to be made to a Taxing Authority, shall not be required to be made sooner than two (2) Business Days prior to the due date thereof).

-69-

(g) Cooperation in Tax Proceedings.

(i) Purchaser and Parent Seller will, and will cause their respective Affiliates to, cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns of, and any Tax Proceeding relating to Seller Holdco or any of its Subsidiaries. Cooperation includes (A) the retention and (at the other party’s request) the provision of records and information in such party’s possession that are reasonably relevant to the filing of any such Tax Returns or Tax Proceeding and (B) making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided under this Section 7.9(g).

(ii) Each of Parent Seller and Purchaser agree to, and to cause their respective Affiliates to, (A) retain all books and records of Seller Holdco and its Subsidiaries with respect to Tax matters pertinent to Seller Holdco and its Subsidiaries relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, (B) abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Governmental Authority and (C) give the other party reasonable written notice before transferring, destroying or discarding any books and records and, if the other party so requests, allow such other party to take possession of the books and records.

(iii) Purchaser and Parent Seller further agree, and agree to cause their respective Affiliates, to, upon request, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Authority or customer of Seller Holdco or any of its Subsidiaries or any other Person as may be reasonably necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby.

(iv) Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.9(g), if any claim or demand for Taxes that could reasonably be expected to give rise to a claim for indemnification under Section 7.9(a) is asserted by any Governmental Authority, the party first receiving notice of such claim or demand shall notify the other party of such claim or demand promptly; provided, however, that the failure of Purchaser to give such prompt notice shall not relieve Parent Seller of any of its indemnification obligations, except to the extent that Parent Seller is actually prejudiced by such failure. The Controlling Party shall, at its own expense, control any such Tax Proceeding of or with respect to Seller Holdco or any of its Subsidiaries for any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date (other than a Tax Proceeding described in Section 7.9(g)(v)) for which Parent Seller may be obligated to indemnify Purchaser under Section 7.9(a); provided that, (A) the Controlling Party shall provide the Non-Controlling Party with a timely and reasonably detailed account of each stage of such Tax Proceeding, (B) the Controlling Party shall allow the Non-Controlling Party to consult in good faith at the Non-Controlling Party’s expense on the positions taken in such Tax Proceeding, (C) the Controlling Party shall defend such Tax Proceeding diligently and in good faith as if it were the only Person affected by such Tax Proceeding, (D) the Non-Controlling Party and its representatives shall have the right to participate in such Tax Proceeding, assist in the preparation of any written materials in such Tax Proceeding and attend any meetings

-70-

or telephone conversations with the applicable Governmental Authority, in each case, at the Non-Controlling Party’s expense, and (E) the Controlling Party shall not settle or compromise any such Tax Proceeding, if such settlement or compromise could increase the liability for Taxes (including under this Agreement) by more than a de minimis amount or reduce any Tax attributes of the Non-Controlling Party or any of its Subsidiaries by more than a de minimis amount, without obtaining the prior written consent of the Non-Controlling Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). For purposes of this Section 7.9(g)(iv), the “Controlling Party” with respect to a Tax Proceeding shall mean Purchaser unless Parent Seller is reasonably expected to bear a greater liability under Section 7.9(a) as a result of such Tax Proceeding and provides prompt written notice to Purchaser of its intent to control such Tax Proceeding, and the “Non-Controlling Party” shall mean whichever of Parent Seller or Purchaser is not the Controlling Party. Whether or not Parent Seller chooses to defend or prosecute any claim it is entitled to defend or prosecute hereunder, all the parties shall reasonably cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof.

(v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (A) Parent Seller shall have the exclusive right to control in all respects, and neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall be entitled to participate in, any Tax Proceeding with respect to (I) any Tax Return of Parent Seller or any of its Subsidiaries (other than Seller Holdco and its Subsidiaries) and (II) any Tax Return of an affiliated, consolidated, combined, unitary or similar group that includes Parent Seller or any of its Subsidiaries (other than Seller Holdco and its Subsidiaries) and (B) Purchaser shall have the exclusive right to control in all respects, and neither Parent Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall be entitled to participate in, any Tax Proceedings with respect to (I) any Tax Return of Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries (other than Seller Holdco and its Subsidiaries) and (II) any Tax Return of an affiliated, consolidated, combined, unitary or similar group that includes Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries.

(vi) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 7.9(g), Purchaser shall have the exclusive right to control all Tax Proceedings with respect to Seller Holdco and its Subsidiaries, provided that in no event may Purchaser settle or compromise any Tax Proceeding to the extent such resolution would reasonably be expected to increase Parent Seller’s liability for Seller Indemnified Taxes under Section 7.9(a) by more than a de minimis amount without the prior written consent of Parent Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(h) Purchase Price Adjustment. Any amounts paid pursuant to this Section 7.9 or Section 10.1 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Closing Purchase Price for all income Tax purposes to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

(i) Seller Intermediate Holding Company shall (i) make a valid and timely election under Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-36(d)(6)(i)(A) to elect to reduce its basis in Seller Holdco shares to the extent necessary to avoid attribute reduction under Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-36(d) and (ii) not make any election to reattribute attributes under Treasury Regulations Sections 1.1502-36(d)(6)(i)(B) or (C).

-71-

(j) Survival and Coordination. Anything to the contrary in this Agreement notwithstanding, (i) indemnification with respect to Taxes and the procedures relating thereto shall be governed exclusively by this Section 7.9, and the provisions of Article X shall not apply, and (ii) the covenants and agreements contained in this Section 7.9 and the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.15 shall survive until thirty (30) days following the expiration of the full period of all statutes of limitations (giving effect to any extensions thereof), provided that any right to indemnification for breach of covenant, agreement, representation or warranty in respect of which indemnification may be sought under this Section 7.9 shall survive the time at which it would otherwise terminate pursuant to this Section 7.9(j) if notice of the right to indemnification or of the breach or inaccuracy giving rise to such right of indemnification shall have been given prior to such time.

Section 7.10 Employee Matters.

(a) Purchaser Bank hereby agrees to provide, or cause to be provided, with respect to each employee of Seller Bank and its Subsidiaries who is employed as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “Current Employee”), during the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the one (1) year anniversary of the Closing Date, (i) base salary or base wage, as applicable, which are no less than those provided by Seller Bank and its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time to each such Current Employee, (ii) target annual cash bonus opportunities which are no less favorable than the target annual cash bonus opportunities (including any portion thereof treated as deferred compensation) provided under a Seller Bank Benefit Plan by Seller Bank and its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time to each such Current Employee, (iii) target long-term incentive opportunities which are no less favorable than the target long-term incentive opportunities provided under a Seller Bank Benefit Plan by Seller Bank and its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time to each such Current Employee, (iv) pension and welfare benefits that are no less favorable in the aggregate to those provided under a Seller Bank Benefit Plan by Seller Bank and its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time to each such Current Employee, and (v) subject to the applicable Current Employee’s execution and non-revocation of a release of claims, severance benefits that are no less favorable than the severance benefits provided by Seller Bank and its Subsidiaries under the Seller Bank Benefit Plans that provide severance benefits and are identified in Section 3.13(b) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule as in effect on the date hereof.

(b) Purchaser Bank shall (i) cause any pre-existing conditions or limitations and eligibility waiting periods under any group health plans of Purchaser Bank to be waived with respect to the Current Employees and their eligible dependents, (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to give each Current Employee credit for the plan year in which the Effective Time occurs towards applicable deductibles and annual out-of-pocket limits for medical expenses incurred prior to the Effective Time for which payment has been made and (iii) give each Current Employee service credit for such Current Employee’s employment with Seller Bank and its Subsidiaries for purposes of vesting, benefit accrual and eligibility to participate under each applicable employee benefit plan sponsored by Purchaser Bank to the extent such credit is given to similarly situated Purchaser employees under such benefit plans, as if such service had been performed with Purchaser Bank, except for benefit accrual under defined benefit pension plans, with respect to any benefit plan that is a frozen benefit plan or provides grandfathered benefits,

-72-

any retiree medical plans or arrangements or to the extent it would result in a duplication of benefits with respect to the same period of service.

(c) Effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, if requested in writing by Purchaser Bank at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Effective Time, Seller Bank shall terminate any and all 401(k) plans maintained by Seller Bank and its other Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Seller Bank 401(k) Plan”). In the event that Purchaser Bank requests that the Seller Bank 401(k) Plan be terminated, Seller Bank shall provide Purchaser Bank with evidence that the Seller Bank 401(k) Plan has been so terminated, provided that prior to amending or terminating the Seller Bank 401(k) Plan, Seller Bank shall provide Purchaser Bank with the form and substance of any applicable resolutions or amendments for review and approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). In connection with the termination of such plan, Purchaser Bank shall permit each Current Employee to make rollover contributions of “eligible rollover distributions” (within the meaning of Section 401(a)(31) of the Code, including all participant loans) in cash or notes (in the case of participant loans) in an amount equal to the eligible rollover distribution portion of the account balance distributed to each such Current Employee from such plan to an “eligible retirement plan” (within the meaning of Section 401(a)(31) of the Code) of Purchaser Bank or one of its Affiliates. If the Seller Bank 401(k) Plan is terminated as described herein, the Current Employees shall be eligible to commence participation in a 401(k) plan maintained by Purchaser Bank or one of its Affiliates as soon as administratively practicable following the Closing Date.

(d) Parent Seller, Seller Intermediate Holding Company and Seller Holdco shall take all actions necessary to cause the employees (and their eligible dependents) of Parent Seller, Seller Intermediate Holding Company and Seller Holdco and their Affiliates who are not employees of Seller Bank and its Subsidiaries, including any employees who are seconded or assigned to work for Seller Bank and its Subsidiaries on temporary or assignment basis under an expatriate arrangement or otherwise, to cease participating in the Seller Bank Benefit Plans prior to the Effective Time and for the liabilities and obligations with respect to such employees of Parent Seller, Seller Intermediate Holding Company and Seller Holdco and their Affiliates (and their eligible dependents) under a Seller Bank Benefit Plan to be assumed by a Parent Seller Benefit Plan, such that from and after the Effective Time, Purchaser and its Affiliates (including Seller Holdco and its Subsidiaries) and the Seller Bank Benefit Plans shall have no liabilities or obligations to the Parent Seller employees (and their eligible dependents). In addition, Parent Seller shall take all actions necessary to transfer the sponsorship of any Seller Bank Benefit Plans which are sponsored by Seller Bank or any of its Subsidiaries but primarily maintained for the benefit of current or former employees, officers, directors or independent contractors of Parent Seller, Seller Intermediate Holding Company and Seller Holdco or their Affiliates (other than Seller Bank and its Subsidiaries) to Parent Seller or one of its Affiliates (other than Seller Holdco and any of its Subsidiaries), which plans shall be considered Parent Seller Benefit Plans. Parent Seller, Seller Intermediate Holding Company, Seller Holdco and Seller Bank shall take the necessary action to transfer as of no later than immediately prior to the Closing Date, any Benefit Plan that is not a Seller Bank Benefit Plan and the associated liabilities thereof to Parent Seller or one of its Affiliates (other than the Seller Holdco and its Subsidiaries).

(e) The parties hereby acknowledge and agree to the terms and conditions of a retention plan set forth in Section 7.10(e) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule established for the

-73-

benefit of certain officers and employees of Seller Bank. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 7.10(e) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, the costs and expenses of which retention plan shall be borne by Purchaser.

(f) The provisions of this Section 7.10 are solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement, and nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, is intended to, or shall, (i) constitute the establishment or adoption of or an amendment to any employee benefit plan for purposes of ERISA or otherwise be treated as an amendment or modification of any Benefit Plan or other benefit plan, agreement or arrangement, (ii) limit the right of Parent Seller, Seller Bank, Purchaser, Purchaser Bank or their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates to (A) amend, terminate or otherwise modify any Benefit Plan or other benefit plan, agreement or arrangement or (B) administer any of the foregoing in accordance with applicable Law, in each case, following the Effective Time, (iii) interfere or restrict in any way the rights of Purchaser Bank or any of its Affiliates to discharge or terminate the services of any Current Employee or other Person for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause, or (iv) create any third-party beneficiary or other right (A) in any Person, including any current or former employee of Seller Bank or any Subsidiary of Seller Bank, any participant in any Benefit Plan or other benefit plan, agreement or arrangement (or any dependent or beneficiary thereof) or (B) to continued employment with Parent Seller, Seller Intermediate Holding Company, Seller Holdco, Seller Bank, any Subsidiary of Seller Bank, Purchaser, Purchaser Bank or any of its Affiliates.

After the Closing, at Parent Seller’s reasonable request, Purchaser shall and shall cause the Surviving Bank and its Subsidiaries to execute and deliver to Parent Seller documentation evidencing the foregoing assignment.

Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Surviving Bank and its Subsidiaries to,

(c) Parent Seller, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, acknowledges and agrees that neither Parent Seller nor any of its Affiliates will retain, except as expressly set forth in Section 7.11(d), any right, title or interest in, any Marks, Internet domain names or social media handles employing or incorporating “Bank of the West,” or any derivation, variation, combination, translation or adaptation thereof, or any Internet domain name, social media handle or Mark confusingly similar thereto, whether alone or in combination with any other words, name or Marks, in each case whether registered or unregistered (collectively, the “Seller Bank Marks”), and that to the extent the Parent Seller or any of its Subsidiaries have any such rights in any Seller Bank Marks, Parent Seller and its Subsidiaries hereby assign to the Surviving Bank all of its and their rights in any such Seller Bank Marks (other than any Seller Bank Marks that incorporate or embody any Parent Seller Marks) effective as of the Closing. After the Closing, at Purchaser’s reasonable request, Parent Seller shall and shall cause its Subsidiaries to execute and deliver to Purchaser documentation evidencing the foregoing assignment.

(d) Purchaser (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) hereby grants to the Parent Seller and its Affiliates, during the Phase-Out Period, a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable (except to service providers in connection with the provision of services to Parent Seller and its Affiliates), royalty-free license to use the Seller Bank Marks in the operation of the businesses of Parent Seller and its Affiliates as such Seller Bank Marks were used therein as of immediately prior to the Closing Date. Parent Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, (i) ensure that any and all goods and services provided in connection with such Seller Bank Marks (including any goods and services provided through any such properties that continue to display Seller Bank Marks) during the Phase-Out Period are of a quality that is at least consistent with the quality provided by Parent Seller and its Affiliates immediately prior to the Closing Date, and (ii) as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any case prior to the end of the Phase-Out Period, replace, obscure or destroy all materials (whether tangible or intangible) bearing or incorporating any Seller Bank Marks, and otherwise cease any and all further use and display of any Seller Bank Marks other than for nominal use or internal archival purposes, or as otherwise required by Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent Seller and its Affiliates may use the Seller Bank Marks at all times after Closing (x) as required by applicable Law; (y) subject to Section 7.6, in a neutral, non-trademark manner to describe the historical relationship between Seller Holdco and the Subsidiaries of Seller Holdco on the one hand, and Parent Seller and its Affiliates (other than Seller Holdco and the Subsidiaries of Seller Holdco) on the other hand, which reference is factually accurate; and (z) subject to Section 7.6, in historical legal documents and materials that are not visible to the public, in each case (i) through (iii), provided that Parent

(a) Except with respect to any case involving Fraud, from and after the Effective Time, in the event of any threatened or actual Action in the U.S., whether civil, criminal or administrative, in which any Person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date of this Agreement, or who becomes prior to the Effective Time, a director or officer of Seller Holdco or any of its Subsidiaries, including Seller Bank, or who is or was serving at the request of Seller Holdco or any of its Subsidiaries, including Seller Bank, as a director or officer or agent of another Person, is, or is threatened to be, made a party or witness based in whole or in part on, or arising in whole or in part out of, or pertaining in whole or in part to, (i) the fact that such Person is serving or did serve in any such capacity, (ii) this Agreement or the Transactions, whether asserted or arising before or after the Effective Time, (iii) any liability or obligation of Seller Holdco or any of its Subsidiaries, including Seller Bank, or (iv) any action or failure to take action by any such director, officer or agent in his or her capacity as such occurring in whole or in part prior to the Effective Time, the Surviving Bank shall, and Purchaser shall cause the Surviving Bank to, indemnify, defend and hold harmless, as and to the fullest extent permitted or required by applicable Law, each such Person against any Losses (including reimbursement for legal and other fees and expenses incurred in advance of the final disposition of any such matter or investigation to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, provided that the Person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such Person is not entitled to indemnification), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any such threatened or actual Action in the U.S. Such Persons shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser, the Surviving Bank and their Subsidiaries in the defense of any such threatened or actual Action and none of Purchaser, the Surviving Bank or any of their Subsidiaries shall have any liability hereunder in respect of any compromise or settlement of any Action effected without the prior written consent of the Surviving Bank (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(b) Without limiting the indemnification and other rights provided in Section 7.17(a), all rights to indemnification and all limitations on Losses existing in favor of the directors, officers and employees of Seller Holdco and its Subsidiaries, including Seller Bank, as provided in their respective Constituent Documents as in effect as of the date of this Agreement or in any indemnification agreement in existence on the date of this Agreement with Seller Holdco or any of its Subsidiaries, including Seller Bank, shall continue in full force and effect to the fullest extent permitted by Law and shall be honored by the Surviving Bank and its Subsidiaries or their respective successors as if they were the indemnifying party thereunder, without any amendment thereto. To the extent not already in effect at Closing, as soon as practicable after Closing, Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Surviving Bank, to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain a “tail” insurance policy with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that covers for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time the individuals serving as directors and officers of Seller Holdco or any of its Subsidiaries, including Seller Bank, immediately prior to the Effective Time for acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time, with coverage and amounts appropriate for the size and scope of Seller Holdco and its Subsidiaries, including Seller Bank, in amounts consistent with the coverage existing as

-77-

of the Closing, with respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to the Closing that were committed by such officers and directors in their capacity as such; provided, however, that in no event shall Purchaser or Surviving Bank be required to expend for such insurance policy an annual premium amount in excess of two-hundred fifty percent (250%) of the annual premiums currently paid by Seller Holdco or Seller Bank for such insurance.

Section 7.18 Other Offers. None of Parent Seller, Seller Intermediate Holding Company, Seller Holdco, Seller Bank, or any Subsidiary of Seller Bank shall, directly or indirectly, through any representative or otherwise, solicit or entertain offers from, negotiate with or in any manner encourage any proposal of any other person relating to the acquisition of Seller Holdco Capital Stock or Seller Bank Capital Stock, or substantially all the assets, of Seller Holdco and its Subsidiaries (an “Acquisition Proposal”), or otherwise disclose any non-public information or afford access to the properties, books or records of Seller Holdco and its Subsidiaries to any person or entity who has indicated an intention to make or has made an Acquisition Proposal.

Section 7.19 [Reserved].

(b) Seller Holdco shall cause the directors, officers and any other employees of Seller Holdco to resign or otherwise be terminated effective as of the Closing Date, without any continuing liability to Seller Holdco or any of its Subsidiaries, including Seller Bank, thereunder.

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

(c) by Purchaser or Parent Seller by giving written notice to the other party if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before the Outside Date, unless the failure of the Closing to occur by such date arises out of, or results from, a material breach by the party seeking to terminate this Agreement of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of such party or its Affiliates in this Agreement; provided that, at the option of either party (if such party would be permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1), the Outside Date may be extended, by giving written notice to the other party, for one three (3) month period in the event that the Requisite Regulatory Approvals have not yet been obtained;

(d) by Purchaser by giving written notice to Parent Seller, if either Parent Seller, Seller Intermediate Holding Company, Seller Holdco or Seller Bank has breached any of its covenants or agreements or any of its representations or warranties contained in this

-80-

Agreement, which breach, individually or in the aggregate, would cause the conditions set forth in Section 8.2 to not be satisfied, and such breach is not cured within forty-five (45) days following written notice of such breach to Parent Seller or cannot, by its nature, be cured prior to the Outside Date; provided that Purchaser, Purchaser U.S. Holding Company or Purchaser Bank is not then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained in this Agreement; or

Notwithstanding the preceding sentences, any breach of representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Agreement shall survive the time at which it would otherwise terminate if (and to the extent) prior to such time notice of the breach giving rise to

-81-

such right of indemnity shall have been given in accordance with this Section 10.1 to the party against whom indemnity is sought, in which case such breach shall survive until final resolution of such claim (or, if earlier, the latest date permitted by applicable Law). Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the indemnity set forth in Section 10.1(b)(v) shall terminate and be of no further force and effect following the expiration of the maximum statute of limitations permitted under the laws of the State of Delaware (taking into account any tolling periods or other extensions).

(b) Effective at and after the Closing and subject to the other provisions of this Section 10.1, Parent Seller hereby agrees to indemnify Purchaser and its Affiliates (including Seller Bank and its Subsidiaries) and their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) against and agrees to hold each of them harmless from, and reimburse any Purchaser Indemnified Party for, any and all Losses suffered by a Purchaser Indemnified Party as a result of or relating to:

(i) any breach of any Seller Fundamental Warranties or the certificate delivered at Closing in respect thereof pursuant to Section 8.2(c) replacing “Material Adverse Effect” with “in all material respects” or words of similar import as the context dictates;

(ii) any breach of any representation and warranty made by Seller Bank or Parent Seller, Seller Intermediate Holding Company or Seller Holdco set forth in this Agreement or the certificate delivered at Closing in respect thereof pursuant to Section 8.2(c) (other than the Seller Fundamental Warranties and the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.15 (which matters are addressed in Section 7.9)) replacing “Material Adverse Effect” with “in all material respects” or words of similar import as the context dictates;

(iii) any breach, failure, nonfulfillment or default by Seller Bank, Parent Seller, Seller Intermediate Holding Company or Seller Holdco in the performance of or compliance with any of the covenants or agreements made or to be performed by Seller Bank, Parent Seller or Seller Holdco pursuant to this Agreement;

(iv) any Transaction Expenses to the extent not paid prior to the Closing Date or taken into account in the calculation of the Purchase Price; or

(v) the liabilities, obligations or commitments of any nature whatsoever, whether asserted or unasserted, known or unknown, absolute or contingent, accrued or unaccrued, matured or unmatured, on- or off balance sheet, or otherwise of Seller Holdco (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding Seller Bank and its Subsidiaries) arising out of or by reason of any matter, circumstance, event, action, inaction, omission, cause or thing whatsoever prior to the Closing, except to the extent taken into account in calculating the Purchase Price (through the determination of Closing Seller Holdco Net Assets).

Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, Parent Seller shall not be required to indemnify or hold harmless any Purchaser Indemnified Party against, or reimburse any Purchaser Indemnified Party for, any Losses pursuant to Section 10.1(b)(ii) (A) with respect

-82-

to any claim (or series of claims arising from similar or related underlying facts, events or circumstances) unless such claim (or series of claims arising from similar or related underlying facts, events or circumstances) involves Losses in excess of $1,000,000 (nor shall any such claim (or series of claims arising from similar or related underlying facts, events or circumstances) that does not meet such $1,000,000 threshold be applied to or considered for purposes of calculating the aggregate amount of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties’ Losses for which Parent Seller has responsibility under Section 10.1(b)(ii)), and (B) until the aggregate amount of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties’ Losses exceeds $175,000,000 (such amount, the “Basket”), after which Parent Seller shall be obligated for all such Losses of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties in excess of the amount of the Basket.

Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the cumulative aggregate indemnification obligation of Parent Seller under Section 10.1(b)(ii) shall not exceed $1,550,000,000 (the “Cap”), and the cumulative aggregate indemnification obligation of Parent Seller under Section 10.1(b)(i) and Section 10.1(b)(ii) shall not exceed the Purchase Price, other than in respect of Losses arising as a result of Fraud.

(c) Effective at and after the Closing and subject to the other provisions of this Section 10.1, Purchaser hereby indemnifies Parent Seller and its Affiliates and their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) against and agrees to hold each of them harmless from, and reimburse any Seller Indemnified Party for, any and all Losses suffered by a Seller Indemnified Party as a result of or relating to:

(i) any breach of any Purchaser Fundamental Warranty or the certificate delivered at Closing in respect thereof pursuant to Section 8.3(c) replacing “Material Adverse Effect” with “in all material respects” or words of similar import as the context dictates;

(ii) any breach of any representation and warranty made by Purchaser Bank or Purchaser set forth in this Agreement or the certificate delivered at Closing in respect thereof pursuant to Section 8.3(c) (other than the Purchaser Fundamental Warranties) replacing “Material Adverse Effect” with “in all material respects” or words of similar import as the context dictates; or

(iii) any breach, failure, nonfulfillment or default by Purchaser Bank or Purchaser in the performance of or compliance with any of the covenants or agreements made or to be performed by Purchaser Bank or Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement.

Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, Purchaser shall not be required to indemnify or hold harmless any Seller Indemnified Party against, or reimburse any Seller Indemnified Party for, any Losses pursuant to Section 10.1(c)(ii) (A) with respect to any claim (or series of related claims arising from similar or related underlying facts, events or circumstances) unless such claim (or series of related claims arising from similar or related underlying facts, events or circumstances) involves Losses in excess of $1,000,000 (nor, subject to the foregoing, shall any such item that does not meet such $1,000,000 threshold be applied to or considered for purposes of calculating the aggregate amount of the Seller Indemnified Parties’ Losses for which Purchaser has responsibility under Section 10.1(c)(ii)) and (B) until the

-83-

aggregate amount of the Seller Indemnified Parties’ Losses exceeds the Basket, after which Purchaser shall be obligated for all such Losses of the Seller Indemnified Parties in excess of the amount of the Basket.

Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the cumulative aggregate indemnification obligation of Purchaser under Section 10.1(c)(ii) shall not exceed the Cap, and the cumulative aggregate indemnification obligation of Purchaser under Section 10.1(c)(i) and Section 10.1(c)(ii) shall not exceed the Purchase Price, other than in respect of Losses arising as a result of Fraud.

(d) If a Purchaser Indemnified Party or a Seller Indemnified Party (each, an “Indemnified Party”) believes that a claim, demand or other circumstance exists that has given or may reasonably be expected to give rise to a right of indemnification under this Section 10.1, such Indemnified Party shall assert its claim for indemnification by giving written notice thereof (a “Claim Notice”) to Parent Seller (if indemnification is sought from Parent Seller) or Purchaser (if indemnification is sought from Purchaser) (in either such case, the “Indemnifying Party”) (i) if the event or occurrence giving rise to such claim for indemnification is, or relates to, a claim, suit, action or proceeding brought by a Person not a party to this Agreement or affiliated with any such party (a “Third Party”), promptly following receipt of notice of such claim, suit, action or proceeding by such Indemnified Party, or (ii) if the event or occurrence giving rise to such claim for indemnification is not, or does not relate to, a claim, suit, action or proceeding brought by a Third Party, promptly after the discovery by the Indemnified Party of the circumstances giving rise to such claim for indemnity; provided, however, that any failure or delay in providing such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Section 10.1 except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure or delay. Each Claim Notice shall describe the claim in reasonable detail including (i) the legal and factual basis of the claim, (ii) an estimate of the amount of Losses which are, or are to be, the subject of the claim and (iii) such other information as is reasonably necessary to enable the Indemnifying Party to assess the merits of the claim (in each case in (i)-(iii), to the extent then known or reasonably ascertainable).

(e) If any claim or demand by an Indemnified Party under this Section 10.1 relates to an action or claim filed or made against an Indemnified Party by a Third Party, the Indemnifying Party may, at its option, assume and control the defense of such action or claim (including, subject to the remainder of this Section 10.1(e), any negotiation relating thereto and the settlement or compromise thereof) at its sole cost and expense and with its own counsel (which counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party), if the Indemnifying Party elects to assume such defense within thirty (30) days of the Claim Notice; provided, however, that an Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume and control the defense of any action or claim (i) brought by, or on behalf of, a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Indemnified Party or (ii) in which the imposition of an injunction that would restrict the future activity or conduct of the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates in any non-de minimis manner or other non-monetary relief is sought against the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates. The parties shall cooperate in the defense of such action or claim, and, unless and until the Indemnifying Party shall have so assumed the defense of such action or claim, the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees of not more than one law firm, plus local counsel) incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense,

-84-

settlement or compromise of such claim or action shall be a Loss subject to indemnification hereunder to the extent provided herein. Any Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action or claim and to participate in the defense thereof, and the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party’s separate counsel in connection with the defense, settlement or compromise of such claim or action shall be a Loss subject to indemnification hereunder provided (i) the Indemnifying Party is not entitled to assume and control the defense of such action or claim pursuant to this Section 10.1(e) or shall have failed within thirty (30) days after receipt of a Claim Notice in respect of such action or claim to assume the defense of such action or claim or to notify the Indemnified Party in writing that it will assume the defense of such action or claim; (ii) the employment of such counsel has been specifically authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party at the Indemnifying Party’s expense; or (iii) the Indemnified Party shall have received written advice from outside counsel that there is or may be a conflict of interest or one or more legal defenses or counterclaims available to such Indemnified Party or to other Indemnified Parties which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party such that it would be inappropriate or inadvisable in the reasonable judgment of Indemnified Party’s counsel for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party.

(f) No Indemnifying Party shall be liable to indemnify any Indemnified Party for any compromise or settlement of any action or claim effected without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), but if settled with the consent of the Indemnifying Party, or if there be final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action that the Indemnified Party is required to pay by the court at the time paid, the Indemnifying Party shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party from and against any Loss by reason of such settlement or judgment, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 10.1. If the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense of any claim in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.1, the Indemnifying Party shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) before entering into any settlement of such claim unless (i) the relief consists solely of monetary damages to be paid entirely by the Indemnifying Party (or a liability insurer thereof) (other than the Basket, if any, to be paid by the Indemnified Party), (ii) the settlement includes no admission or finding of any violation of Law or admission of wrongdoing by the Indemnified Party, and (iii) the settlement includes a provision whereby the plaintiff or claimant releases the Indemnified Parties from all liability with respect thereto. Each Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party all information reasonably available to such Indemnified Party relating to such action or claim the provision of which would not, in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party, violate or jeopardize any applicable attorney-client or other privilege. In addition, the parties shall render to each other such assistance as may reasonably be requested in order to help ensure the proper and adequate defense of any such action or claim. The party in charge of the defense shall keep the other parties reasonably apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto.

(g) Purchaser and, after the Closing, Seller Bank shall take and shall cause their Affiliates to use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Loss for which any of them could be entitled to indemnification under this Section 10.1 upon becoming aware of any event which would reasonably be expected to, or does actually, give rise thereto, including

-85-

incurring costs to the extent necessary to remedy the breach which gives rise to such Loss (which costs, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be considered Loss).

(h) Any Indemnified Party shall use reasonable best efforts to recover any Losses from insurance policies or other sources. The amount which the Indemnifying Party is or may be required to pay to any Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 10.1 shall be reduced (retroactively, if necessary) by any insurance proceeds or other amounts actually recovered by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party in reduction of the related Loss, net of any deductibles or other expenses incurred in connection therewith. If an Indemnified Party shall have received the payment required by this Agreement from the Indemnifying Party in respect of Loss and shall subsequently receive insurance proceeds or other amounts in respect of such Loss, then such Indemnified Party shall promptly repay to the Indemnifying Party a sum equal to the amount of such net insurance proceeds or other net amounts actually received. In calculating the amount of any Loss, there shall be deducted an amount equal to any net Tax benefit actually realized (including the utilization of a Tax loss or Tax credit carried forward) as a result of such Loss by the Indemnified Party claiming such Loss in the taxable year in which such Loss occurred (determined on a “with and without” basis).

(i) With respect to the indemnification obligation set forth in this Section 10.1, in no event shall (i) the Indemnifying Party have any liability to the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates for any consequential, indirect, speculative, incidental, special or punitive damages, except in connection with a Third Party claim to the extent awarded by a final and nonappealable judgment to the relevant Third Party by a court of competent jurisdiction, (ii) the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates be entitled to recover from the Indemnifying Party under this Section 10.1 more than once in respect of the same Loss, (iii) the Indemnifying Party be liable for any Loss which is contingent unless and until such contingent Loss becomes an actual liability and is due and payable or (iv) the Indemnifying Party have any liability to the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates for any Losses that are caused by or arise out of changes in Law or accounting rules.

(j) Effective at and after the Closing, the indemnification provided in this Section 10.1 shall be the exclusive remedy available to any party hereto with respect to any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement, or otherwise in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any claims relating to this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant hereto, except (i) in the case of Fraud or willful misconduct, or with respect to matters for which the remedy of specific performance, injunctive relief or other non-monetary equitable remedies are available in accordance with Section 10.6, (ii) with respect to Taxes (the indemnification for which shall be governed exclusively by Section 7.9(a)), or (iii) as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement.

(k) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Parent Seller shall not have any liability for any Loss under Section 10.1(b)(ii) to the extent that Purchaser or Purchaser Bank had actual knowledge at or before the Original Signing Date (in the case of representations and warranties by Seller Bank or Parent Seller) or the Amended Signing Date (in the case of representations and warranties by Seller Holdco or Seller Intermediate Holding Company), as a result of any items set forth in the Seller Disclosure Schedule or documents that have been posted at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the Original Signing Date (in the case of

-86-

representations and warranties by Seller Bank or Parent Seller) or the Amended Signing Date (in the case of representations and warranties by Seller Holdco or Seller Intermediate Holding Company) in the electronic data room hosted by Intralinks, Inc. (for the avoidance of doubt, without taking into consideration the redacted portions of any such documents), of particular facts which would be reasonably expected, on the face thereof, to result in the applicable breach and related Loss.

Section 10.2 Waiver; Amendment. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by the parties hereto, or in the case of a waiver, by the party or parties against whom the waiver is to be effective. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power 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 other right, power or privilege.

Section 10.3 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as provided in Section 7.17 and Section 10.1 or the comparable provisions of any other Transaction Documents, as applicable, there shall be no third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any exhibit, annex or schedule hereto or thereto, and none of them shall confer on any Person other than the parties hereto and thereto any claim, cause of action, right or remedy.

Section 10.4 Entire Agreement. The Transaction Documents and the Confidentiality Agreement represent the entire understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede any and all other oral or written agreements heretofore made.

Section 10.5 Assignment. No party to this Agreement may assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto. Any attempted or purported assignment in contravention of this provision shall be null and void.

Section 10.6 Specific Performance.
