Section 2.4 Bank Merger. Following the consummation of the Closing, the Bank will merge (the “Bank Merger”) with and into IBERIABANK, a Louisiana banking organization and wholly owned subsidiary of Purchaser (“Purchaser Bank”). Purchaser Bank shall be the surviving entity in the Bank Merger and shall continue its corporate existence under the name “IBERIABANK”, and, following the Bank Merger, the separate corporate existence of the Bank shall cease. The parties agree that the Bank Merger shall become effective at such time following the consummation of the Closing as Purchaser shall specify. The Bank Merger shall be implemented pursuant to a plan of merger, in a customary form to be specified by Purchaser and approved by Parent, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed (the “Bank Plan of Merger”).

Section 2.5 Reservation of Right to Change Structure; Tax Treatment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, before the Closing, the parties may mutually agree at any time to change the method of effecting the business combinations contemplated by this Agreement if and to the extent that it deems such a change to be desirable; provided, that no such change shall (i) alter or change the amount or kind of the consideration to be paid to Parent hereunder or (ii) materially impede or delay consummation of the business combination. The parties agree that the Stock Sale shall be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a taxable purchase and sale of the shares of Bank Common Stock, and neither Parent nor Purchaser 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.

Section 2.6 Withholding. The Purchaser acknowledges that it does not currently expect to be required to make any withholding or deduction to the amounts payable to Parent pursuant to this Agreement under current Law, so long as Parent complies with Section 2.3(a)(vi). Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, to the extent there is a change in applicable Law which requires that Purchaser withhold or deduct any amounts payable to Parent pursuant to this Agreement, Purchaser and its Affiliates shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payments made pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of any such payment under any applicable Law; provided, that Purchaser shall be required to provide written notice to Parent of the amount of such withholding or deduction as promptly as practicable after Purchaser becomes aware of any required withholding or deduction (and, in any event, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing); provided further, that to the extent any such withholding or deduction by Purchaser would, individually or in the aggregate, be equal to or greater than the amount set forth in Section 2.6 of the Parent Disclosure Letter, then the parties shall negotiate in good faith for a period of fifteen (15) days following the delivery of written notice to Parent modifications to this Agreement in order to mitigate any such withholding or deduction and, if the parties are unable to so agree on modifications to this Agreement that would reduce such withholding or deduction by Purchaser to an amount that is less than the amount set forth in Section 2.6 of the Parent Disclosure Letter, then Parent shall be entitled to terminate the Agreement during the five (5) Business Day period following such fifteen (15)-day negotiation period without any penalty. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, and paid to the proper taxing authority pursuant to any applicable Law, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to such Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

(b) Parent has previously made available to Purchaser true and complete copies of the Bank’s articles of association (the “Bank Articles”) and bylaws (the “Bank Bylaws”) and the articles or certificate of incorporation or organization and bylaws (or comparable organizational documents) of each of its Subsidiaries, in each case as amended to the date of this Agreement, and each as so made available is in full force and effect.

As of the date of this Agreement, except for this Agreement, as otherwise disclosed on Section 3.2(b) of the Parent Disclosure Letter, as set forth above in Section 3.2(a), and the shares of capital stock or other voting securities or equity interests of each Subsidiary that are owned, directly or indirectly, by the Bank, there are no outstanding (i) shares of capital stock or other voting securities or equity interests of the Bank, (ii) securities of the Bank or any of its Subsidiaries convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of capital stock or other voting securities or equity interests of the Bank or any of its Subsidiaries, (iii) stock appreciation rights, “phantom” stock rights, performance units, interests in or rights to the ownership or earnings of the Bank or any of its Subsidiaries or other equity equivalent or equity-based award or right, (iv) subscriptions, options, warrants, calls, commitments, Contracts or other rights to acquire from the Bank or any of its Subsidiaries, or obligations of the Bank or any of its Subsidiaries to issue, register, transfer, or sell any shares of capital stock of the Bank or any of its Subsidiaries, voting securities, equity interests or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for capital stock or other voting securities or equity interests of the Bank or any of its Subsidiaries or rights or interests described in clause (iii) or (v) obligations of the Bank or any of its Subsidiaries to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any such securities or to issue, grant, deliver, register, transfer or sell, or cause to be issued, granted, delivered, registered, transferred or sold, any such securities. Except as otherwise set forth on Section 3.2(b) of the Parent Disclosure Letter, and except for this Agreement, there are no shareholder agreements, voting trusts or other agreements or understandings to which the Bank or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or on file with the Bank or its Subsidiaries with respect to the holding, voting, registration, redemption, repurchase or disposition of, or that restricts the transfer of, any capital stock or other equity interest of the Bank or any of its Subsidiaries.

All of the shares of capital stock or other equity or voting interests of each Subsidiary of the Bank and each Bank Minority Interest Business that are owned, directly or indirectly, by the Bank or a Subsidiary thereof are free and clear of all pledges, claims, liens, charges, options, rights of first refusal, encumbrances and security interests of any kind or nature whatsoever (including any limitation on voting, sale, transfer or other disposition or exercise of any other attribute of ownership) (collectively, “Liens”) other than restrictions on transfer under applicable securities Laws. Except for (x) the capital stock of, or other equity or voting interests in, its Subsidiaries and (y) its interests in the Bank Minority Interest Businesses, the Bank does not own, directly or indirectly, any 5% or greater equity, membership interest, partnership interest, joint venture interest in any Person, or any interest convertible into, exercisable or exchangeable for, any of the foregoing.

The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Parent and the Bank and the consummation by Parent and the Bank of the Transactions have been duly and validly approved by all necessary corporate action on the part of Parent and the Bank and no other corporate proceedings on the part of Parent or the Bank are necessary to approve this Agreement or to consummate the Transactions. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each of Parent and the Bank and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by Purchaser, constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Parent and the Bank, enforceable against each of them in accordance with its terms (except to the extent that enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization, fraudulent transfer or similar Laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by general principles of equity).

(b) No vote of the shareholders of Parent or the holders of any other securities of Parent (equity or otherwise) is required by any applicable Law or its organizational documents to consummate the Transactions.

Section 3.5 No Conflict; Consents and Approvals.

(a) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Parent and the Bank do not, and the consummation of the Transactions and compliance by Parent and the Bank with the provisions hereof do not, and will not, conflict with, or result in any violation or breach of, or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, or give rise to a

right of, or result in, termination, cancellation, modification or acceleration of any obligation or remedy or to the loss of a material benefit under, or result in the creation of any Lien (other than a Permitted Lien) in or upon any of the properties, assets or rights of Parent, the Bank or any of its Subsidiaries under, any provision of (i) the Bank Articles or the Bank Bylaws, or the articles or certificate of incorporation or bylaws (or similar organizational documents) of Parent or any Subsidiary of the Bank, (ii) except as set forth on Section 3.5(a) of the Parent Disclosure Letter, any Contract to which Parent (solely with respect to the Bank or any of its Subsidiaries), the Bank or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which Parent (solely with respect to the Bank or any of its Subsidiaries), the Bank or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties or assets may be bound or (iii) subject to the governmental filings and other matters referred to in Section 3.5(b), any Law or any rule or regulation of any self-regulatory authority applicable to Parent, the Bank or any of its Subsidiaries or by which Parent, the Bank or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties or assets may be bound, except, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Bank Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Except as set forth in Section 3.5(b) of the Parent Disclosure Letter, no consents, approvals, orders or authorizations of, or registrations, declarations or filings with or notices to, any Governmental Entities or any third party are required to be made or obtained by Parent, the Bank or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by Parent or the Bank of this Agreement or to consummate the Transactions, except for (i) filings of applications and notices with, receipt of approvals or no objections from, and the expiration of related waiting periods required by, federal and state banking authorities, including applications and notices under the BHC Act, the Bank Merger Act and Title 6 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes, (ii) filings of applications and notices with, and receipt of approvals or non-objections from, the state securities authorities, applicable securities exchanges and self-regulatory organizations, and (iii) such other filings with third parties who are not Governmental Entities the failure of which to be obtained or made would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Bank Material Adverse Effect. As of the date hereof, assuming compliance by Purchaser with its obligations under this Agreement, neither Parent nor the Bank has knowledge of any reason why all regulatory approvals from any Governmental Entities required for the consummation of the Transactions and listed in items (i) through (iii) of this Section 3.5(b) would not be obtained on a timely basis.

Section 3.6 Financial Statements.

(a) Parent has previously made available to Purchaser true and complete copies of the audited consolidated financial statements of the Bank (including the related notes thereto) for the fiscal years ended 2013, 2014 and 2015, and the unaudited consolidated financial statements (including the related notes thereto) for the twelve (12)-month period ending December 31, 2016 (collectively, the “Financial Statements”).

The records, systems, controls, data and information of the Bank and its Subsidiaries are recorded, stored, maintained and operated under means (including any electronic, mechanical or photographic process, whether computerized or not) that are in all material respects under the exclusive ownership and direct control of the Bank or its Subsidiaries or accountants (including all means of access thereto and therefrom) except for any non-exclusive ownership and non-direct control that would not reasonably be likely to be material to the system of internal accounting control of the Bank. The Bank and its Subsidiaries have implemented and maintain a system of internal accounting controls effective to provide reasonable assurances that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with its management’s general or specific authorizations and (ii) transactions are recorded in conformity with GAAP consistently applied and applicable Law.

Except as set forth on Section 3.8 of the Parent Disclosure Letter, there is no action, suit, charge, claim, arbitration, investigation, inquiry, grievance or other proceeding (each, an “Action”), whether judicial, arbitral, administrative or other, pending or, to the knowledge of Parent or the Bank, threatened against or affecting the Bank or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties or assets, or, to the knowledge of Parent or the Bank, any present or former officer, director or employee of the Bank or any of its Subsidiaries in such individual’s capacity as such, other than Actions that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to be material to Bank and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

Nothing contained in this Section 5.9 shall (A) be construed to create (x) any third-party beneficiary rights in any current or former employee of the Bank, Purchaser or their Affiliates (including any dependent or beneficiary thereof) or any Person other than the parties to this Agreement (including any participant in any Bank Plan, or any dependent or beneficiary thereof) or (y) any right to employment or continued employment for any specified period or to a particular term or condition of employment with Purchaser or its Affiliates, or (B) except as set forth in this Section 5.9, limit the ability of Purchaser or its Affiliates to amend, modify or terminate any Bank Plan, Purchaser Plan or other benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement at any time assumed, established, sponsored or maintained by any of them.

(b) As of the Closing Date, Parent shall cause the Bank and its Subsidiaries to terminate the participation of each Business Employee in each Parent Plan and in no event shall any Business Employee be entitled to accrue any benefits under such Parent Plans with respect to services rendered or compensation paid on or after the Closing. The parties hereto agree that the Bank and its Subsidiaries shall have no liabilities or obligations with respect to any Parent Plan

for periods on and after the Closing. If requested by Purchaser after the date hereof and prior to the Closing, the Bank and each of its Subsidiaries shall terminate, effective as of the Closing Date, any Bank Plan that is intended to constitute a tax-qualified defined contribution plan under Code Section 401(k) (a “401(k) Plan”), in which case the Continuing Employees shall, effective immediately after the Closing, be eligible to participate in a corresponding Purchaser Plan. If the Bank is requested by Purchaser to terminate its 401(k) Plan, Purchaser agrees to take all action necessary to cause the trustee of the corresponding Purchaser Plan to accept a direct rollover of all or a portion of a Continuing Employee’s distribution from the Bank’s 401(k) Plan, including any 401(k) Plan loans under terms and conditions established by the administrator of the corresponding Purchaser Plan.

(c) For all purposes (including but not limited to purposes of vesting, eligibility to participate and level of benefits) under the employee benefit plans of Purchaser other than any defined benefit pension plan (such employee benefit plans of Purchaser shall be referred to hereinafter as the “New Plans”) providing benefits to any Continuing Employee, each Continuing Employee shall be credited with his or her years of service with Bank and its Affiliates and their respective predecessors to the same extent as such Continuing Employee was entitled to credit for such service under any applicable similar Bank Plan in which such Continuing Employee participated or was eligible to participate immediately prior to the Transition Date, provided, that the foregoing shall not apply to the extent that its application would result in a duplication of benefits with respect to the same period of service. “Transition Date” means, with respect to any Continuing Employee, the date Purchaser commences providing benefits to such employee with respect to each New Plan.

(d) In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, as of the Transition Date, Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide that (i) each Continuing Employee shall be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all New Plans of Purchaser to the extent coverage under such New Plan is similar in type to an applicable Parent Plan or Business Plan in which such Continuing Employee was participating immediately prior to the Closing Date (such Parent Plan or Business Plans collectively, the “Old Plans”); (ii) for purposes of each New Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical, vision or similar benefits to any Continuing Employee, all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such New Plan to be waived for such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents, unless such conditions would not have been waived under the similar Old Plans in which such Continuing Employee, as applicable, participated or was eligible to participate immediately prior to the Transition Date; and (iii) any eligible expenses incurred by such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the Old Plan ending on the Transition Date to be taken into account under such New Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such New Plan.

(e) To the extent that any Continuing Employee is (A) terminated without cause or (B) resigns as a result of being required to relocate such Continuing Employee’s principal place of business to a distance of more than forty-five (45) miles from such Continuing Employee’s principal place of business as of the Closing, in either case within one (1) year

following the Closing, then such terminated Continuing Employee shall be entitled to receive a severance payment as is set forth on Section 5.9(e) of the Parent Disclosure Letter (the “Severance Payments”).

(f) Parent may, at its sole discretion, make employment offers to those Business Employees set forth on Section 5.9(f) of the Parent Disclosure Letter to the extent permitted on Section 5.9(f) of the Parent Disclosure Letter.

Section 5.10 Public Announcements. Purchaser, Parent and the Bank shall cooperate with respect to the issuing of any press release or other public statements with respect to this Agreement and the Transactions; provided that, prior to the closing, no party to this Agreement shall issue any press release or make any public announcement relating to this Agreement and the Transactions without the prior written approval of the other parties hereto; provided, further that, each party may issue a press release or make other public statements relating to the Transactions without obtaining the other parties’ consent of any kind, providing notice or otherwise complying with this Section 5.10 (but will use commercially reasonable efforts to consult with the other parties in advance of such disclosure to the extent practicable and not prohibited by applicable Law or after disclosure is made if not prohibited by applicable Law) to the extent such party has received the advice of legal counsel (which may be in-house counsel) that it is required to make such disclosure to comply with applicable securities Laws relating to the regulation of the securities markets in the jurisdictions in which such party’s securities are traded or otherwise regulated, including any applicable rules of any market or exchange on which the shares of the foregoing may be listed for trading, such as but not limited to a relevant event (an “hecho relevante”) made with the Comisión Nacional del ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ de Valores of the Kingdom of Spain.

Section 5.11 No Control of Other Party’s Business. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall give Purchaser, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the operations of the Bank or its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall give Parent or the Bank, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the operations of Purchaser or its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing. Prior to the Closing, each of the Bank and Purchaser shall exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, complete control and supervision over its and its Subsidiaries’ respective operations.

Section 5.12 Operating Functions. The Bank and its Subsidiaries shall cooperate with Purchaser in connection with planning for the efficient and orderly combination of the parties and their respective operations after the Closing, and in preparing for the consolidation of appropriate operating functions to be effective at the Closing or such later date as Purchaser may decide. The Bank shall take any action Purchaser may reasonably request prior to the Closing to facilitate the combination of their respective operations. Without limiting the foregoing, the Bank shall provide office space and support services (and other reasonably requested support and assistance) in connection with the foregoing, and senior officers of the Bank and Purchaser shall meet from time to time as Purchaser may reasonably request, to review the financial and operational affairs of the Bank and its Subsidiaries, and the Bank shall give due consideration to Purchaser’s input on such matters, with the understanding that neither the Bank nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to agree to any material Contractual obligation that is not contingent upon the consummation of the Closing.

Section 5.13 Restrictive Covenants.

(a) Non-Compete. For a period of three (3) years from and after the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), Parent shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly (whether as a stockholder, investor, member, partner or otherwise) (i) engage in any Restricted Business or (ii) own the equity securities of, manage, operate or control, any Person that engages in a Restricted Business. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, this Section 5.13(a) shall not operate to prevent or restrict the direct or indirect acquisition by Parent or any of its Affiliates (through acquisition, merger or other strategic transaction) of an interest in any Person that engages, directly or indirectly, in the Restricted Business if (i) Parent’s or any of its Affiliates’ voting or equity ownership interest in such Person does not in the aggregate exceed 5% of the total outstanding voting or equity ownership interests of such Person or (ii) if (A) Parent acquires 51% or more of the total outstanding voting or equity interests of such Person (including in a “merger of equals” or similar transaction), (B) such Person engaged, directly or indirectly, in the Restricted Business prior to Parent’s acquisition of the voting or equity ownership interest in such Person, and (C) either (x) the Restricted Business represents less than 10% of the assets and revenues of such Person on a consolidated basis or (y) Parent shall within twelve (12) months after the acquisition of such Person cause such Person to either wind-down, or enter into a definitive agreement with a non-Affiliate to sell, any divisions or subsidiaries engaging in the Restricted Business or the assets relating thereto (provided that in the case of a sale, Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to cooperate with the acquirer in consummating such sale as promptly as practicable). For purposes of this Agreement, “Restricted Business” means the operation of a commercial banking business of the type conducted by the Bank and its Subsidiaries as of the date hereof anywhere in the State of Florida; provided, that the provisions of this Section 5.13 shall not restrict Parent’s ability to conduct the following business through its international branch in Florida (the “Miami Branch”): (i) providing banking services to the Persons set forth on Section 5.13(a) of the Parent Disclosure Letter (the “Common Clients”); (ii) making new Loans to clients based in Florida in the commercial real estate, hotel and corporate sectors; provided, that each such Loan must be in an amount greater than $40 million or smaller if it is a follow-on financing to such client; (iii) providing banking services to (A) existing clients as of the date hereof of the Miami Branch or (B) any new international private banking clients of the Miami Branch (including residential mortgages to such private banking clients); (iv) providing banking services to Subsidiaries of international corporate clients of Parent or the Miami Branch, (v) providing banking services to existing and new corporate clients of Parent or the Miami Branch, in each case, who are not based in Florida (provided that any Loans intended to be used in Florida must be permitted under clause (ii) of this proviso), and (vi) providing banking services to domestic individuals which are family members or affiliated with an international banking client of Parent or the Miami Branch. Further, the provisions of this Section 5.13 shall not restrict any Person who becomes an Affiliate of Parent as a result of such Person’s acquisition of 51% or more of the total outstanding equity interests of Parent (including in a “merger of equals” or similar transaction) from engaging, directly or indirectly, in the Restricted Business; provided that such Person was not an Affiliate of Parent prior to the closing of such acquisition. For purposes of this Section 5.13(a), (i) “international” shall, with respect to a Person, mean that the majority of the assets of such Person together with its Affiliates, on a consolidated basis, are not located in the United States, and the majority of the revenue of such Person together with its Affiliates, on a consolidated basis, does not arise from operations in the United States, (ii) “private banking” shall mean the banking services offered to high net worth individuals and their family offices, trusts and Affiliated entities, and (iii) (x) “assets” of a Person shall mean its consolidated total assets and (y) “revenues” of a Person shall mean (1) the sum of consolidated net interest income plus consolidated noninterest income or, if such Person does not report such line items, consolidated net revenues (or comparable line items), in each case of clause (iii) as set forth in the financial statements of such Person as of the last day of its most recently completed fiscal year and for the year then ended.

(b) Non-Solicit/No-Hire. During the Restricted Period, Parent agrees not to, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, (i) hire (whether as an employee, independent contractor, consultant or otherwise) or (ii) solicit or induce, or attempt to solicit or induce, to leave the employment of the Bank or its Subsidiaries or violate the terms of their Contracts or any employment arrangements, any Continuing Employee or any officer, employee, representative or agent of the Bank or its Subsidiaries employed by the Bank or any of its Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date; provided, that the foregoing restrictions shall not apply to the solicitation or hiring of (A) any such Persons (x) whose employment has ceased or has been terminated by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates at least six (6) months prior to such solicitation or hiring, (y) primarily involved in back-office operations who is not an officer of the Bank and whose employment is terminated by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or (z) who is an officer of the Bank primarily involved in back-office operations whose employment has been terminated by Purchaser or its Affiliates at least three (3) months prior to such solicitation or hiring (but which three (3) month period may, upon the request of Parent, be waived or shortened at the sole discretion of Purchaser), (B) any such Persons who respond to general solicitations of employment through advertising media not specifically directed toward such Persons; or (C) the employees set forth on Section 5.9(f) of the Parent Disclosure Letter to the extent permitted on Section 5.9(f) of the Parent Disclosure Schedule.

(c) Non-Solicitation of Customers and Suppliers. During the Restricted Period, Parent shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, (i) sell, provide or otherwise disclose any customer list of the Bank or its Subsidiaries to any other Person or (ii) use, or allow any other Person to use, any customer list of the Bank or its Subsidiaries to solicit Persons that were customers of the Bank or its Subsidiaries at the Closing Date in respect of the provision of products or services offered by the Bank or its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the date hereof; provided, that the foregoing shall not apply to Common Clients.

(d) If any provision contained in this Section 5.13 shall for any reason be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Section 5.13, but this Section 5.13 shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. It is the intention of the parties that if any of the restrictions or covenants contained herein is held to cover a geographic area or to be for a length of time which is not permitted by applicable Law, or in any way construed to be too broad or to any extent invalid, such provision not be construed to be null, void and of no effect, but to the extent such provision would be valid or enforceable under applicable Law, a court of competent jurisdiction shall construe and interpret or reform this Section to provide for a covenant having the maximum enforceable geographic area, time period and other provisions (not greater than those contained herein) as shall be valid and enforceable under such applicable Law.

Section 5.14 Release. Subject to Section 5.15, and without prejudice to the parties’ respective indemnification obligations under Section 5.18 and Article VIII, at or prior to the Closing, (a) the Bank and its Subsidiaries shall execute releases acquitting, releasing and discharging Parent, any of its Affiliates and the directors of the Bank from any and all liabilities to the Bank that exist as of the Closing Date or that arise in the future from events or occurrences taking place prior to or as of the Closing Date, and (b) Parent and its Subsidiaries (other than the Bank and its Subsidiaries) shall execute releases acquitting, releasing and discharging the Bank

and any of its Affiliates from any and all liabilities to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Bank and its Subsidiaries) that exist as of the Closing Date or that arise in the future from events or occurrences taking place prior to or as of the Closing Date and from any obligations under Contracts to which Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Bank and its Subsidiaries) is a party (i) under which the Bank or its Subsidiaries are provided with services, property or other assets that are used in the conduct of their respective businesses, (ii) that contain any exclusive dealing or third party referral arrangements imposed on the Bank or any of its Subsidiaries, or any express non-competition or non-solicitation covenants that purport to limit the freedom from and after the Closing of the Bank or its Subsidiaries to compete in any line of business or with any Person or in any area or (iii) for which there are any costs or expenses that would be incurred by the Bank or any of its Subsidiaries from and after the Closing in connection with the termination of such Contracts.

Section 5.15 Intercompany Arrangements.

(a) Parent and the Bank shall take or cause to be taken such action and/or make or cause to be made such payments as may be necessary so that, immediately prior to the Closing, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties in writing, (i) all liabilities between the Bank and its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Parent and its Affiliates (excluding the Bank and its Subsidiaries), on the other hand, are discharged, terminated or otherwise settled with no further liability to the Bank or its Subsidiaries and (ii) the Contracts or arrangements required to be set forth on Section 3.19 of the Parent Disclosure Letter are terminated at or prior to the Closing with no further liability to the Bank and its Subsidiaries.

(b) Without limiting the generality of clause (a) above, at or prior to the Closing, Parent and the Bank shall take, or cause to be taken, all such actions necessary so that Intercompany Receivables or Intercompany Payables shall have been settled or paid prior to the Closing; provided that, the parties hereby agree to work in good faith to agree upon mutually acceptable procedures for the settlement or payment of trailing activities. Following the Closing, Parent shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, retain all books, records and documents pertaining to all liabilities, Contracts and arrangements discharged, terminated or settled, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 5.15(a) above and this clause (b) for a period of seven (7) years from the Closing Date, and to make the same available after the Closing for inspection and copying by Purchaser or its representatives, during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice, for any legitimate business purpose (including for financial reporting, compliance or tax purposes).

(c) In addition, within sixty (60) days following the date hereof, Purchaser may specify participations held by the Bank or any of its Subsidiaries in Loans originated by Parent in respect of which Common Clients are borrowers thereunder (the “Designated Participations”) to be sold by Bank or its Subsidiary, as applicable) within sixty (60) days following the date hereof for a purchase price equal to the net book value (net of any deferred fees, costs, discounts or premiums or reserves) of such Designated Participations. The Common Clients that have Designated Participations are identified on the Section 5.13(a) of the Parent Disclosure Letter. At or prior to the closing of purchase and sale of the Designated Participations, the Bank and Parent shall execute and deliver to each other a ▇▇▇▇ of sale or other customary documentation, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent, and will consummate such sale within ninety (90) days following the date hereof;

provided, that such documentation shall not provide for any indemnification from the Bank to Parent and no representations or warranties therein shall survive the closing of the purchase and sale of the Designated Participations.

Section 5.16 Listing.

(a) Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the shares of Purchaser Common Stock consisting of the Stock Consideration to be approved for listing on NASDAQ, subject to official notice of issuance, prior to the Closing.

(b) During the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the earlier of (i) the second anniversary thereof or (ii) the date on which Parent completes its disposition of the Stock Consideration, in the event that at any time Parent and its Subsidiaries beneficially own, directly or indirectly, shares of Purchaser Common Stock representing in the aggregate 5% or more of the total number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock issued and outstanding (as calculated for purposes of the prior approval requirements of Section 3(a)(3) of the BHC Act) as of such time, Parent shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, take all actions as promptly as possible (but giving due regard to the state of the equity and capital markets) to sell the necessary number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock so that, immediately after giving effect to such sales, Parent and its Subsidiaries own, directly and indirectly, shares of Purchaser Common Stock representing in the aggregate less than 5% of the total number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock then issued and outstanding (as calculated for purposes of the prior approval requirements of Section 3(a)(3) of the BHC Act).

Section 5.17 WARN Act. The Bank agrees that, upon Purchaser’s written request, it shall provide a notification under the WARN Act for any Bank or its Subsidiaries’ employee terminations or layoffs following the Closing; provided that, in no event will the Bank be required to provide any such notification prior to the date set forth in Section 5.17 of the Parent Disclosure Letter.

Section 5.18 Tax Matters.

(a) Parent shall be liable for and indemnify each Purchaser Indemnitee (including, after the Closing Date, the Bank and its Subsidiaries) for any and all Losses imposed upon or incurred by any such Purchaser Indemnitee which arise out of or are in connection with any Excluded Taxes. Payment in full of any amount due under this Section 5.18(a) shall be made to such Purchaser Indemnitee in immediately available funds no later than the later of (i) ten (10) days after such Purchaser Indemnitee makes written demand therefor and (ii) ten (10) days prior to the date on which the underlying amount is required to be paid by such Purchaser Indemnitee.

(b) After the Closing, Parent and Purchaser shall, subject to Section 5.4: (i) assist (and cause their respective Affiliates to assist) the other parties in preparing any Tax Returns of the Bank and its Subsidiaries; (ii) cooperate fully in preparing for any audit of, or dispute with, any taxing authority regarding, any Tax Return of the Bank or any of its Subsidiaries; (iii) make available to the other parties and to any taxing authority as reasonably requested all information, records and documents relating to Taxes of the Bank or its Subsidiaries; (iv) provide timely notice to the other parties in writing of any pending or

threatened tax audit or assessment of the Bank or its Subsidiaries for Taxes for which the other party may have a liability; and (v) furnish the other parties with copies of all correspondence received from any taxing authority in connection with any audit or information request with respect to the Bank or any of its Subsidiaries for Taxes for which the other parties may have a liability.

(c)

(i) If a claim shall be made by any taxing authority which, if successful, might result in an indemnity payment pursuant to Section 5.18(a), then Purchaser shall give notice to Parent in writing of such claim; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent Parent has been materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. Parent shall have the right to represent the Bank’s interests in connection with any Tax Contest relating solely to Excluded Taxes and to employ counsel of its choice at its expense; provided, that, (i) Parent shall have first notified Purchaser in writing of its intention to do so and of the identity of counsel, if any, chosen by the Parent in connection therewith, (ii) Parent shall be liable for any reasonable expenses, including reasonable fees for outside attorneys and other outside consultants, incurred in connection with any such Tax Contest, and (iii) with respect to any such Tax Contest, Parent must first consult, in good faith, with Purchaser before taking any action with respect to the conduct of such Tax Contest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall not settle any such Tax Contest without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and Purchaser and counsel of its own choosing shall have the right to participate fully in all aspects of the prosecution or defense of such Tax Contest if it reasonably determines that such Tax Contest could have a material adverse impact on the Taxes of the Bank or any of its Subsidiaries in a taxable period or portion thereof beginning after the Closing Date.

(ii) In the case of a Tax Contest of the Bank or any of its Subsidiaries which relates to both Excluded Taxes and other items, Purchaser and Parent shall use reasonable efforts to cause such Tax Contest to be split into separate Tax Contests, at least one of which relates solely to Excluded Taxes which shall be governed by Section 5.18(c)(i). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Purchaser and Parent are unable to split such Tax Contest in accordance with the preceding sentence, Purchaser shall have the right to control any remaining Tax Contest relating to both Excluded Taxes and other items; provided, however, that (i) Purchaser shall provide Parent with reasonable updates regarding such Tax Contest, and (ii) Parent shall be entitled to participate in such Tax Contest at its own expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall not settle any such Tax Contest without the prior written consent of Parent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(iii) Purchaser shall have the exclusive right to control, at its own expense, any Tax Contest involving the Bank or any of its Subsidiaries (other than any Tax Contest described in Sections 5.18(c)(i) and (ii)).

(d) During the period from the date of this Agreement to the Closing, the Bank and its Subsidiaries shall timely pay all Taxes (including estimated Taxes) when due in accordance with past practice.

(e) Parent, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other, shall each be liable for fifty percent (50%) of any transfer, stamp, documentary, registration, sales, use and other such Taxes and any conveyance fee, recording charge and other fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) (“Transfer Taxes”) incurred as a result of the transfers effected pursuant to this Agreement.

(f) As of the Closing Date, any Tax sharing or allocation agreement or arrangement, whether or not written, that may have been entered into between the Bank or any of its Subsidiaries on the one hand, and Parent or any of its Affiliates (other than the Bank or its Subsidiaries) on the other hand, shall be terminated, and no payments that are owed by or to the Bank or any of its Subsidiaries shall be made from the date of this Agreement.

(g) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the procedures with respect to Tax matters shall be governed exclusively by this Section 5.18. The covenants and indemnification provisions of this Section 5.18 shall survive until sixty (60) days following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.

Section 5.19 Advisory Board. Following the Closing, Purchaser shall invite members of the Bank Board to join Purchaser’s Southeast Florida Advisory Board.

Section 5.20 Use of Name. Parent hereby grants (and shall cause its Affiliates to grant, if applicable) to Purchaser, the Bank and their Subsidiaries a non-exclusive, non-assignable license to use the name “Sabadell”, “Sabadell United” and all other Marks and Domain Names that are (i) owned or licensed by Parent or its Affiliates (excluding any Marks and Domain Names that may be owned by the Bank and its Subsidiaries at Closing) and (ii) used in connection with the Bank and its Subsidiaries or their respective businesses as of the Closing (the “Parent Marks”) on any and all materials, including name plates, signage and marketing and promotional materials, existing on the Closing Date and distributed or available to customers or other third parties as of the Closing Date until the earlier of (x) nine months following the Closing Date or (y) the date on which the conversion of the Bank to Purchaser’s systems occurs. Parent also agrees to host a web page accessible via the active Domain Names set forth on Section 3.17 of the Parent Disclosure Letter under the heading “Parent Retained Domain Names” for the sole purpose of redirecting Internet users from such Domain Name to a website selected by Purchaser or its designees for twelve (12) months after the Closing, after which time Parent will continue to maintain the registration for such Domain Name and direct it to an inactive website for a period of three (3) years. Purchaser, the Bank and their Subsidiaries shall use the Parent Marks solely in a manner consistent with the past practice of the Bank and its Subsidiaries and in connection with goods and services of high quality that reflect favorably on Parent and the Parent Marks. Further, for twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, at Purchaser’s written request, Parent will substitute for the current reference to Bank’s business on Parent’s and its Affiliates’ corporate websites for a mutually-agreed message regarding the Transactions and a link to a website or social media venues of Purchaser. The form and location of the message and link are set forth on Section 5.20 of the Parent Disclosure Letter, as may be amended by the Parties from time to time. Parent also agrees that Purchaser, the Bank and their Subsidiaries may, at any time after the Closing Date, use the Parent Marks (a) in a neutral, non-trademark manner as reasonably necessary to describe Purchaser’s acquisition of the Bank and its Subsidiaries, (b) on any legal documents, agreements and records and on internal items of the Bank and its Subsidiaries not visible to the public, and/or (c) as required under applicable Law.

Section 5.21 Lease Agreement; Sublease Agreement. The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to: (a) assign from Bank to Parent or its Affiliate (other than the Bank or its Subsidiaries) the Office Lease Agreement, dated as of May 29, 2011, by and between PR 1111 Brickell, LLC (as successor-in-interest to MDM Brickell Office Group, Ltd.) and the Bank (as successor-in-interest to Barclays Bank PLC), as amended (the “Building Lease”), (b) release the Bank from the Building Lease and (c) enter into the Sublease Agreement with Bank (or the surviving entity following the Bank Merger). To the extent that the consent of the landlord is not obtained in respect of the foregoing, the Parties agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to explore a mutually acceptable alternative to the foregoing. Following the date hereof and prior to the Closing, the parties agree to cooperate and use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate a sublease agreement on customary terms and conditions (the “Sublease Agreement”), which (subject to obtaining consent of the landlord for the assignment of the Building Lease) will be entered into as of the Closing, and which will provide for the terms set forth on Exhibit A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in connection with using commercially reasonable efforts pursuant to this Section 5.21, Purchaser shall not be required to agree to any modifications to any agreement or make any payments, except in accordance with the terms set forth on Exhibit A.

ARTICLE VIII

SURVIVAL; INDEMNIFICATION

Section 8.1 Survival.

(a) All representations and warranties made by any party in this Agreement shall survive the Closing until the date that is eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.1(a) (other than clause (iii) therein), 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.18, 3.19, 4.1(a) (other than clause (iii) therein), 4.2, 4.3 and 4.12 (the “Fundamental Representations”) shall survive the Closing Date indefinitely, (ii) the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.12 shall survive the Closing Date until the third (3^rd) anniversary of the Closing Date and (iii) the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.13 shall survive the Closing Date as specified in Section 5.18(g).

(b) All covenants and agreements contained herein to be performed on or prior to the Closing shall survive the Closing until the date that is eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date. The covenants and agreements contained herein to be performed after the Closing, including the indemnification obligations contained in this Article VIII, shall survive until fully satisfied in accordance with their terms.

(c) If an Indemnitee delivers a written notice in accordance with Sections 8.3(a) or 8.4 with respect to a claim for any indemnification as provided for under this Article VIII before the expiration of the applicable survival period, then the applicable representation, warranty, covenant or agreement shall survive until, but only for purposes of, the resolution of the matter covered by such claim.

Section 8.2 Indemnification.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article VIII, from and after the Closing, Parent agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser, its Affiliates and their respective shareholders, directors, members, general and limited partners, managers, officers, employees and agents (each, a “Purchaser Indemnitee”) from and against any and all Losses incurred by such Purchaser Indemnitee arising out of, resulting from, or relating to (i) any breach of, or any inaccuracy in, any representation or warranty made by Parent or the Bank in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered hereunder, (ii) any breach of any covenant of Parent, the Bank or any of their Affiliates contained herein, (iii) the matters set forth on Section 8.2(a) of the Parent Disclosure Letter (the “Scheduled Item”) and (iv) any Transaction Expenses in excess of the Transaction Expense Cap that were not taken into account in the calculation of the Purchase Price at the Closing; provided however, for the purposes of determining whether or not any breach or inaccuracy of representation or warranties has occurred and for determining the amount of any Losses indemnifiable under clause (i) of this paragraph (including arising from any breach or inaccuracy of Section 3.13, which is generally governed by Section 5.18), the representations and warranties of Parent shall not be deemed qualified by any references to “material,” “Bank Material Adverse Effect,” or words of similar import contained in such representation or warranty except with respect to the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.7(b).

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article VIII, from and after the Closing, Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Parent, its Affiliates and their shareholders, directors, members, general and limited partners, managers, officers, employees and agents (each, a “Parent Indemnitee” and, together with the Purchaser Indemnitees, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Losses incurred by such Parent Indemnitee arising out of, resulting from, or relating to of (i) any breach of, or any inaccuracy in, any representation or warranty made by Purchaser in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered hereunder or (ii) any breach of any covenant of Purchaser contained herein; provided however, for the purposes of determining whether or not any breach or inaccuracy of representation or warranties has occurred and for determining the amount of any Losses indemnifiable under clause (i) of this paragraph, the representations and warranties of Purchaser shall not be deemed qualified by any references to “material,” “Purchaser Material Adverse Effect,” or words of similar import contained in such representation or warranty.

Section 8.3 Matters Involving Third Parties. Except with respect to Taxes, which are covered by Section 5.18:

(a) In order for any Indemnitee to make a claim for any indemnification as provided for under this Article VIII in respect of, arising out of or involving a claim or demand made by any Person not a party to this Agreement or its Affiliates against the Indemnitee (a

“Third-Party Claim”), such Indemnitee must promptly notify the Person that is obligated to provide such indemnification (an “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, of the Third-Party Claim, but any failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to the Indemnitee under Section 8.2(a) or Section 8.2(b), except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially and adversely prejudiced by the failure to timely give such notice; provided, a Purchaser Indemnitee is not required to notify Parent for a Third-Party Claim in connection with the Scheduled Item. Thereafter, the Indemnitee shall promptly deliver to the Indemnifying Party copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by Indemnitee relating to the Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been materially and adversely prejudiced as a result of such failure.

(b) If a Third-Party Claim is made against an Indemnitee, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, if it so chooses by giving written notice to the Indemnitee within fifteen (15) days of the receipt of notice of the Third-Party Claim, to assume and control the defense thereof with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party who shall be a recognized law firm with the experience and resources to defend the Indemnitee against any such Third-Party Claim in such proceeding; provided that such counsel is not objected to by the Indemnitee in its reasonable discretion; provided, further, that the parties agree that, subject to Section 8.3(c), Parent shall assume and control the defense of any Third-Party Claim in connection with the Scheduled Item. Should the Indemnifying Party so elect to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnitee for legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof (except in the case of a conflict of interest as set forth in Section 8.3(c)). If the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the Indemnitee shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party, it being understood that the Indemnifying Party shall control such defense.

(c) Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 8.3(b) to the contrary, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume and control, and the Indemnitee shall be entitled to have sole control over, the defense or settlement of any Third-Party Claim if:

(i) the Indemnifying Party does not provide written notice to the Indemnitee of its election to control the defense of such proceeding within thirty (30) days of the Indemnifying Party’s receipt of notice of such proceeding;

(ii) (A) such proceeding involves criminal or quasi-criminal allegations, or (B) such proceeding involves a Governmental Entity; or

(iii) there exists, in the Indemnitee’s good faith judgment, based on the advice of outside legal counsel, a conflict of interest between the Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party which, under applicable principles of legal ethics, could reasonably be expected to prohibit a single legal counsel from representing both the Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party in such proceeding.

(d) Provided that an Indemnitee has given the Indemnifying Party notice of a Third-Party Claim as required hereunder, unless and until an Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of the Third-Party Claim, the Indemnitee may defend against the Third-Party Claim in any manner it may reasonably deem appropriate; provided that, except as set forth in Section 8.3(c), the Indemnitee shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third-Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). Without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), the Indemnifying Party shall not settle or compromise any Third-Party Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment, unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) involves only the payment of money damages for which the Indemnitee is fully indemnified by the Indemnifying Party and the payment of the claim would not exceed the indemnity hereunder, (ii) does not impose an injunction or other non-monetary relief upon the Indemnitee, (iii) provides for a full and unconditional release of the Indemnitee from all liability with respect to such Third-Party Claim from each claimant or plaintiff in such Third-Party Claim and (iv) does not involve a finding or admission of any violation of Law or other wrongdoing by the Indemnitee. In the event that the Indemnifying Party does not timely elect to assume and control the defense of the subject Third-Party Claim, or is not permitted to do so pursuant to Section 8.3(c) above, then the Indemnitee may conduct and control, through counsel of its own choosing, the defense of the subject Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party will cooperate with and make available to the Indemnitee such assistance and materials as may be reasonably requested by the Indemnitee.

Section 8.4 Direct Claims. In the event any Indemnitee should have a claim against an Indemnifying Party that does not involve a Third-Party Claim being asserted against or sought to be collected from such Indemnitee, the Indemnitee shall deliver notice of such claim in writing and in reasonable detail to the Indemnifying Party with reasonable promptness. The failure by any Indemnitee to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability which it may have to such Indemnitee, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party demonstrates that it has been materially and adversely prejudiced as a result of such failure.

Section 8.5 Limitations on Liability.

(a) Except for fraud or an Intentional Breach, an Indemnifying Party shall not be required to indemnify an Indemnitee with respect to any indemnification claims arising out of or relating to matters described in Section 8.2(a)(i) or 8.2(b)(i) (other than claims relating to an inaccuracy or breach of a Fundamental Representation), unless and until (i) the aggregate amount of Losses incurred by the applicable Indemnitees with respect to an event or occurrence and all other events or occurrences arising from substantially similar, common or reasonably related facts or circumstances exceeds $150,000 (the “Claim Threshold”) (for the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of calculating the Claim Threshold, Losses arising out of claims with respect to an event or occurrence and all other events or occurrences arising from substantially similar, common or reasonably related facts or circumstances shall be aggregated, provided that any such Losses which do not exceed the Claim Threshold shall not be applied to or considered for purposes of determining whether the Deductible has been reached) and (ii) the aggregate amount of the Losses claimed exceeds $10,000,000 (the “Deductible”), in which event the Indemnitee will be entitled against the Indemnifying Party to recover Losses in excess of the Deductible.

(b) Except for fraud or an Intentional Breach, the maximum aggregate liability of Parent or Purchaser, as the case may be, under Section 8.2(a)(i) or 8.2(b)(i) (other than claims relating to an inaccuracy or breach of Fundamental Representations) shall not exceed the Cap. The maximum aggregate liability of Parent or Purchaser, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 8.2(a) or Section 8.2(b) shall not exceed the Purchase Price.

(c) For purposes of determining Losses hereunder, the amount thereof shall be limited to the amount of any liability or damage that remains after deducting therefrom any insurance proceeds and any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment actually received by the Indemnitee in respect of any such claim (with such insurance or other proceeds deemed reduced by (i) reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses relating to collecting under such policies or from such third party and (ii) any deductible associated therewith to the extent paid; provided that an Indemnitee shall be under no obligation to seek such recovery.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, the limitations in this Section 8.5 shall not apply to any indemnity claim relating to Tax matters.

(e) The indemnification provisions of this Article VIII (i) shall apply without regard to, and shall not be subject to, any limitation by reason of set-off, limitation or otherwise and (ii) are intended to be comprehensive and not to be limited by any requirements of Law concerning prominence of language or waiver of any legal right under any Law.

(f) The right to indemnification, reimbursement or other remedy based upon any representations, warranties, covenants and obligations set forth in this Agreement shall not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with any such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation. The waiver of any condition based upon the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or obligation, shall not affect the right to indemnification, reimbursement or other remedy based upon such representations, warranties, covenants or obligations.

Section 8.6 Exclusive Remedies Following the Closing. Following the Closing, subject to Section 9.7 and except with respect to Section 5.13, the indemnification provisions of Section 5.18 and this Article VIII shall be the sole and exclusive monetary remedy of the Indemnitees, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, for all matters arising under or in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions, including for any inaccuracy or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth herein, except in the case of fraud or an Intentional Breach and as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

Section 8.7 Payments.

(a) Once a Loss has been agreed to by the Indemnifying Party or finally adjudicated in a final and non-appealable proceeding to be payable pursuant to this Article IX, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its obligations within five (5) Business Days of such agreement or final non-appealable adjudication by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

(b) The parties agree that any indemnification made pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

Section 8.8 No Right of Contribution. Parent waives, and acknowledges and agrees that Parent shall not exercise or assert (or attempt to exercise or assert), any right of contribution, right of indemnity or other right or remedy against Purchaser, the Bank or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with any indemnification obligation or any other liability to which Parent may become subject under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents.

Section 8.9 Waiver of Conflicts Regarding Representation. Recognizing that Hunton & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP has acted as legal counsel to Parent and its Affiliates, and may be deemed to have acted from time to time as legal counsel to the Bank and its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing, and that Hunton & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP intends to act as legal counsel to Parent and certain of its Affiliates after the Closing, Purchaser, the Bank and its Subsidiaries hereby waive any conflicts that may arise in connection with Hunton & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP representing Parent and its Affiliates after the Closing in connection with matters arising out of this Agreement, including any disputes between any of the parties hereto that may arise after the Closing. The foregoing waiver of conflict is not intended to be, and shall not be deemed to be, a waiver of any legal privilege or work product protection by the Bank or any of its Subsidiaries.

The rights and remedies of the parties hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have hereunder.

Exhibit A

Terms of Sublease Agreement
