STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This Stock Purchase Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of March 31, 2009, by and among The Colonial BancGroup, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and each of the Purchasers listed on the signature pages hereto or Schedule 1 hereto (each a “Purchaser” and collectively, “Purchasers”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Company desires to issue and sell to Purchasers, and Purchasers desire to purchase from the Company, (a) certain shares of the Company’s Series A Voting Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $2.50 per share (the “Series A Stock”), and (b) certain shares of the Company’s Series B Nonvoting Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $2.50 per share (the “Series B Stock” and, together with the Series A Stock, the “Preferred Stock”), on the terms set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual promises, representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

Agreement to Sell and Purchase; Preferred Stock

1.1 Agreement to Sell and Purchase. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Purchasers agree to purchase from the Company, on the Closing Date, an aggregate of (a) 466,600 shares of Series A Stock and (b) 133,400 shares of Series B Stock ((a) and (b) collectively, the “Shares”), and the Company agrees to issue and sell such Shares to Purchasers, at a price of Five Hundred and no/100 Dollars ($500.00) per Share (the “Price Per Share”) for an aggregate purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) equal to Three Hundred Million and no/100 Dollars ($300,000,000.00) (such issuance, sale and purchase of the Shares, along with the other commitments by the parties set forth in this Agreement is referred to herein as the “Transaction”).

1.2 Preferred Stock. The designations, preferences and rights of the Series A Stock and the Series B Stock shall be substantially as set forth in a Certificate of Designations (the “Certificate of Designations”), to be filed with the Delaware Secretary of State, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. The Shares may be taken from the Company’s authorized but unissued Preferred Stock, par value $2.50 per share as described in Article 4, Part D of the Certificate of Incorporation or the Company’s authorized but unissued Preference Stock, par value $2.50 per share, as described in Article 4, Part A of the Certificate of Incorporation. A summary of the terms included in the Certificate of Designations is set forth below (provided, however, that in the event of any inconsistency between the general description below and the terms set forth in the Certificate of Designations, the terms set forth in the Certificate of Designations shall control):

(a) Each share of Series A Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, into 1,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $2.50 per share (the

“Company Common Stock”), as adjusted for any stock split, combination, consolidation, stock distributions, stock dividends or the like, no later than the later of (A) the date of the Company’s receipt of Stockholder Approval or the date that is three months after the Closing Date or (B) the date that is three months after the Closing Date provided that Stockholder Approval has been received; provided, however, that in no event will such conversion take place if there are an insufficient number of authorized shares of Company Common Stock to effectuate such conversion. The holders of Series A Stock shall have the right to vote, on an as-converted basis, with the Company Common Stock on all matters as and to the extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”). In addition, so long as any share of Series A Stock is outstanding, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the shares of Series A Stock, voting separately as a class, whether or not a vote of the stockholders would otherwise be required by law, shall be required for the Company to (i) amend, alter or repeal (by merger or otherwise) any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws so as to affect adversely the relative rights, preferences, qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the Series A Stock (other than to create or establish any capital stock to be issued to the United States Treasury as part of the TARP Capital Purchase Program or any similar governmental program), (ii) authorize or issue, or increase the authorized amount of, any additional class or series of stock of the Company, or any security convertible into stock of such class or series, having rights senior to or pari passu with the Series A Stock as to dividends or liquidation (other than any capital stock issued to the United States Treasury as part of the TARP Capital Purchase Program or any similar governmental program) and any right to vote, whether as a separate class or otherwise, on any matter (other than a matter that can have no effect on the rights of the Series A Stock) as to which the Series A Stock is not entitled to vote, (iii) effect any reclassification of the Series A Stock, or (iv) enter into a merger or consolidation with, or sell or transfer all or substantially all of its assets to, another person or entity. Holders of Series A Stock shall have preemptive rights with respect to future debt and equity securities issued by the Company, subject to certain exceptions. Holders of Series A Stock also shall be entitled to receive cash dividends on an as-converted basis with the holders of Company Common Stock, whenever funds are legally available and when and as declared by the Company Board. Holders of Series A Stock shall not be entitled to a liquidation preference, although they shall be entitled to receive liquidation proceeds on an as-converted basis with the holders of Company Common Stock.

(b) The rights and preferences of the Series B Stock shall be identical to that of the Series A Stock, except that holders of Series B Stock shall not have any voting powers, either general or special, except as may be required by the DGCL; provided, however, that (A) if such shares of Series B Stock are held by TBW or any of its Affiliates, TBW’s or such Affiliate’s ability to convert such shares will be restricted as described in the legend of the stock certificate(s) representing such shares and (B) so long as any share of Series B Stock is outstanding, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the shares of Series B Stock, voting separately as a class, whether or not a vote of the stockholders would otherwise be required by law, shall be required for the Company to (i) amend, alter or repeal (by merger or otherwise) any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws so as to affect adversely the relative rights, preferences, qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the Series B Stock (other than to create or establish any capital stock to be issued to the United States Treasury as part of the TARP Capital Purchase Program or any similar governmental program),

(ii) authorize or issue, or increase the authorized amount of, any additional class or series of stock of the Company, or any security convertible into stock of such class or series, having rights senior to or pari passu with the Series B Stock as to dividends or liquidation (other than any capital stock issued to the United States Treasury as part of the TARP Capital Purchase Program or any similar governmental program) and any right to vote, whether as a separate class or otherwise, on any matter (other than a matter that can have no effect on the rights of the Series B Stock) as to which the Series B Stock is not entitled to vote, (iii) effect any reclassification of the Series B Stock, or (iv) enter into a merger or consolidation with, or sell or transfer all or substantially all of its assets to, another person or entity.

ARTICLE 2

Closing, Delivery and Payment

2.1 Closing. Subject to the termination provisions set forth in Article 9, the closing (the “Closing”) of the purchase and sale of the Shares shall take place at the offices of ▇▇▇▇▇ Lord ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇.▇., ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇, or at such other place as the parties hereto may mutually agree, at 10:00 a.m., Washington, D.C. time, on (i) the fifth Business Day following the last to be waived or fulfilled of the conditions set forth in Article 8 (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the fulfillment or waiver of those conditions) or (ii) such other date and time as the parties hereto may mutually agree in writing. The date on which the Closing occurs is referred to herein as the “Closing Date.” For purposes of this Agreement, a “Business Day” shall mean any day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or other day in which banks in Washington, D.C. are authorized or required by law to be closed.

2.2 Delivery. At the Closing, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Company will deliver to Purchasers the Shares in certificate form or via uncertificated book-entry form pursuant to instructions of Purchasers provided to the Company at least five (5) Business Days in advance of the Closing Date, free and clear of any liens or other encumbrances (other than those placed thereon by or on behalf of Purchasers) and subject to any restrictions on resale in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and applicable law, and Purchasers will make payment to the Company of the Purchase Price, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company in writing to Purchasers at least five (5) Business Days in advance of the Closing Date. Purchasers and the Company shall execute cross receipts acknowledging receipt of the Shares and the Purchase Price, respectively.

2.3 Anti-Dilution. If, between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock shall have been changed into or exchanged for a different number, kind, class or series of shares or securities as a result of any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other substantially similar transaction, an appropriate and proportionate adjustment shall be made to the number of Shares and the Price Per Share.

ARTICLE 3

Representations and Warranties of the Company

Except as disclosed (i) in the Company Reports furnished or filed prior to the date of this Agreement (excluding any risk factor disclosures contained in such Company Reports under the heading “Risk Factors” and any disclosures of risks included in any “forward-looking statements” disclaimer or other statements made that are similarly non-specific and are predictive or forward-looking in nature) or (ii) in the disclosure schedule delivered by the Company to Purchaser prior to the execution of this Agreement (the “Disclosure Schedule”), which Disclosure Schedule sets forth items the disclosure of which is necessary or appropriate as an exception to one or more representations or warranties contained in this Article 3; provided, however, that (A) the disclosure in any Section of the Disclosure Schedule shall apply only to the indicated Section of this Agreement except to the extent that it is apparent on the face of such disclosure that such disclosure is relevant to another Section of this Agreement, and (B) notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the mere inclusion of an item as an exception to a representation or warranty shall not be deemed an admission that such item represents a material exception or material fact, event or circumstance or that such item has had or would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, the Company hereby represents and warrants to Purchasers as follows:

3.1 Organization and Standing.

(a) The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction where the ownership or operation of its assets or properties or conduct of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing is not reasonably likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. As used in this Agreement, a “Material Adverse Effect” means any effect, circumstance, occurrence or change that is material and adverse to the business, assets, prospects, results of operations or financial condition of the Company and Company Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; provided, however, that Material Adverse Effect shall not be deemed to include (i) any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, declared or undeclared acts of war or terrorism, (ii) changes or proposed changes in GAAP or regulatory or accounting principles generally applicable to banks, savings associations and their holding companies (in the case of each of clause (i) and (ii), other than effects, circumstances, occurrences or changes that arise after the date of this Agreement but before the Closing to the extent that such effects, circumstances, occurrences or changes have a materially disproportionate adverse affect on the Company and Company Subsidiaries relative to other companies in the commercial banking industry), (iii) changes in the market price or trading volume of Company Common Stock (it being understood and agreed that the exception set forth in this clause (iii) does not apply to the underlying reason or cause giving rise to or contributing to any such change), (iv) changes in the general economic or business conditions, including changes in interest or currency rates or commodity prices, or (v) events, impacts or conditions caused by the negotiation, execution, announcement, or existence or terms of this Agreement or the performance of this Agreement or the consummation of the Transaction (including any occurrence or condition arising out of the identity of or facts relating to Purchasers).

(b) Each Company Subsidiary is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization or incorporation. Each Company Subsidiary is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction where the ownership or operation of its assets or properties or conduct of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing is not reasonably likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. Other than the Company Subsidiaries and securities held in its investment portfolio, neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary owns any equity interest in any bank, corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other organization, whether incorporated or unincorporated. As used in this Agreement, “Company Subsidiary” means any bank, corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other organization, whether incorporated or unincorporated, that is consolidated with the Company for financial reporting purposes under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

(c) The Company has delivered or made available to Purchasers true, complete and correct copies of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) and Bylaws, as amended (the “Bylaws”), and of the charter, bylaws and similar governing documents of each Company Subsidiary, each as in effect as of the date of this Agreement.

3.2 Company Capital Stock.

(a) As of the date hereof, the authorized capital stock of the Company consists solely of 400,000,000 shares of Company Common Stock, of which 212,503,485 shares are issued and 202,536,758 shares are outstanding, 50,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, none of which are issued and outstanding, and 1,000,000 shares of preference stock, par value $2.50 per share, none of which are issued and outstanding. The outstanding shares of Company Common Stock have been duly authorized and are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and are not subject to preemptive rights (and were not issued in violation of any preemptive rights). The Shares will be, as of the Closing, duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company and, when issued and delivered as provided in this Agreement, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and the issuance thereof will not be subject to any preemptive rights.

(b) Except for Company Stock Options covering 4,149,530 shares of Company Common Stock as of the date hereof, there are no outstanding options, warrants or other rights in or with respect to the unissued shares of capital stock of the Company nor any securities convertible into such stock, and the Company is not obligated to issue any additional shares of capital stock of the Company or any additional options, warrants or other rights in or with respect to the issued or unissued shares of capital stock of the Company or any other securities convertible into such stock. As used in this Agreement, the term “Company Stock Option” means any option or right to acquire capital stock of the Company, or stock appreciation right payable in cash issued pursuant to any Company Employee Benefit Plan or otherwise. There are no options, warrants, equity securities, calls, rights, commitments or agreements of any character obligating the Company or any Company Subsidiary to grant, extend, accelerate the vesting of, otherwise modify or amend or enter into any such option, warrant, equity security,

call, right, commitment or agreement. The Company does not have any outstanding stock appreciation rights, phantom stock, performance based rights or similar rights or obligations. Neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates is a party to or is bound by any, and to the knowledge of the Company, there are no agreements with respect to the voting (including voting trusts and proxies) or sale or transfer (including agreements imposing transfer restrictions) of any shares of capital stock or other equity interests of the Company. As used in this Agreement, “Affiliate” means, with respect to any person, any other person that directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with, such person, and the term “control” (including the terms “controlled by” and “under common control with”) means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such person, whether through ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.

3.3 Corporate Power. The Company and each Company Subsidiary has all requisite power and authority (corporate and other) to carry on its business as it is now being conducted and to own, lease or operate all its properties and assets. The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the Transaction.

3.4 Corporate Authority. This Agreement and the Transaction have been duly authorized and approved by the board of directors of the Company (the “Company Board”). The Company Board has determined that this Agreement and the Transaction are advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. The Company’s Audit Committee has unanimously and expressly approved, and the Company Board has unanimously concurred with, the Company’s reliance on the exemption under Paragraph 312.05 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual to issue the Shares without seeking a stockholder vote. Prior to the Closing, the Company will have complied with all NYSE rules applicable to the Transaction. This Agreement and the Transaction have been authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company, and no vote of the holders of any class or series of the Company’s capital stock is necessary to approve and adopt this Agreement and to consummate the Transaction. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by Purchasers, this Agreement is a valid and legally binding agreement of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights or to general equity principles.

3.5 Regulatory Approvals; No Violations.

(a) No consents, approvals, permits, orders, authorizations of, exemptions, reviews or waivers by, or notices, reports, filings, declarations or registrations with, any federal, state or local court, governmental, legislative, judicial, administrative or regulatory authority, agency, commission, body or other governmental entity or self regulatory organization (each, a “Governmental Authority”) or with any other third party are required to be made or obtained by the Company or any Company Subsidiary in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement or the consummation of the purchase of the

Shares or any other aspect of the Transaction except for (i) those already obtained or made, (ii) the filings contemplated by Section 6.3, (iii) required filings with the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) or the SEC in connection with the matters contemplated under Section 6.4 or otherwise, (iv) the filings contemplated by Article 7, and (v) any securities or “blue sky” filings of any state. The Company knows of no reason why all regulatory approvals from any Governmental Authority required for the consummation of the Transaction should not be obtained on a timely basis.

(b) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company does not, and the consummation by the Company of the Transaction will not, (i) constitute or result in a breach or violation of, or a default under, the acceleration of any obligations or penalties or the creation of any charge, mortgage, pledge, security interest, restriction, claim, lien, equity, encumbrance or any other encumbrance or exception to title of any kind on any assets or any indebtedness of the Company or any Company Subsidiaries (with or without notice, lapse of time, or both) pursuant to, agreements binding upon the Company or any Company Subsidiary or to which the Company or any Company Subsidiary or any of their respective properties is subject or bound or any law, regulation, judgment or governmental or non-governmental permit or license to which the Company or any Company Subsidiary or any of their respective properties is subject, (ii) constitute or result in a breach or violation of, or a default under, the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws or the charter, bylaws or similar governing documents of any Company Subsidiary or (iii) require any consent or approval or notice or other filing under any such agreement, law, regulation, judgment, governmental or non-governmental permit or license, except, in the case of clauses (i) or (iii) above, for any breach, violation, default, acceleration, creation, change, consent or approval that, individually or in the aggregate, is not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

3.6 Company Reports.

(a) The Company and each Company Subsidiary has filed or furnished, as applicable, on a timely basis all forms, filings, registrations, submissions, statements, certifications, reports and documents required to be filed or furnished by it with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) since December 31, 2005 (the forms, statements, reports and documents filed or furnished since December 31, 2005 and through the date hereof, including any amendments thereto, the “Company Reports”). Each of the Company Reports, at the time of its filing or being furnished complied, or if not yet filed or furnished, will comply, in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and any rules and regulations promulgated thereunder applicable to the Company Reports. As of their respective dates (or, if amended prior to the date hereof, as of the date of such amendment), the Company Reports did not, and any Company Reports filed or furnished with the SEC subsequent to the date hereof will not, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading.

(b) The Company is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable listing and corporate governance rules and regulations of the NYSE.

(c) The Company and Company Subsidiaries have timely filed all reports and statements, together with any amendments required to be made with respect thereto, that they were required to file since December 31, 2005 with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “FRB”), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”), the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”), the Alabama State Banking Department (the “ASBD”), or any other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over its business or any of its assets or properties (each a “Regulatory Authority”), and all other material reports and statements required to be filed by it since December 31, 2005, including, without limitation, the rules and regulations of the FDIC, the OCC, the ASBD or any other Regulatory Authority, and has paid all fees and assessments due and payable in connection therewith. As of their respective dates, such reports and statements complied in all material respects with all the laws, rules and regulations of the applicable Regulatory Authority with which they were filed.

3.13 Taxes. The Company and each Company Subsidiary have each duly filed all material Tax Returns required to be filed by it, and each such Tax Return is complete and accurate in all material respects.

No audit, examination or investigation related to Taxes paid or payable by the Company or any Company Subsidiary is presently being conducted or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened by any Regulatory Authority.

tax benefits the Code thereupon permits with respect to such employee benefit plans. No such employee benefit plan has any amount of unfunded benefit liabilities (as defined in Section 4001(a)(18) of ERISA) for which the Company or any Company Subsidiary would be liable to any person under Title IV of ERISA if any such employee benefit plan were terminated as of the Closing. Such employee benefit plans are funded in accordance with Section 412 of the Code (if applicable). There would be no material obligations of the Company or any Company Subsidiary under Title IV of ERISA relating to any such employee benefit plan that is a multi-employer plan if any such plan were terminated or if the Company or a Company Subsidiary withdrew from any such plan as of the Closing. All contributions and premium payments that are due under any such benefit plans have been made. No Company Employee Benefit Plan has engaged in or been a party to a “prohibited transaction” (as defined in Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975(c) of the Code) without an exemption thereto under Section 408 of ERISA or Section 4975(d) of the Code. The Transaction will not constitute a change in control under any Company Employee Benefit Plan. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Company Employee Benefit Plan” means each profit sharing, group insurance, hospitalization, stock option, pension, retirement, bonus, severance, change of control, deferred compensation, stock bonus, stock purchase, employee stock ownership or other employee welfare or benefit agreement, plan or arrangement established, maintained, sponsored or undertaken by the Company or any Company Subsidiary for the benefit of the officers, directors or employees of the Company or the Company Subsidiary, including each trust or other agreement with any custodian or any trustee for funds held under any such agreement, plan or arrangement, and all other contracts or arrangements under which pensions, deferred compensation or other retirement benefits are being paid or may become payable by the Company or the Company Subsidiary for the benefit of the directors, officers or employees of the Company or the Company Subsidiary.

The Company and each Company Subsidiary owns or possesses a valid and binding license or otherwise is duly authorized to use all of the Intellectual Property used by it. Neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary is in material default under any license, contract, agreement, arrangement or commitment related to any of the Intellectual Property. Such Intellectual Property as used by the Company or a Company Subsidiary in its business do not violate or infringe upon the proprietary rights of any third party in any material respect, and there is no claim, action, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened against the Company or any Company Subsidiary with respect to any such Intellectual Property.

(k) Incur or guarantee any indebtedness for borrowed money other than in the ordinary course of business;

(l) Take any action that would or could reasonably be expected to result in the Company’s disqualification from eligibility to receive funds through the TARP Capital Purchase Program; or

(m) Agree to, or make any commitment to, take any of the actions prohibited by this Section 5.2.

(a) Prior to the Closing, the Company will (and will cause the Company Subsidiaries to): (i) afford, upon reasonable notice, to each Purchaser and its representatives, counsel, accountants, agents and employees reasonable access to all of the Company’s and the Company Subsidiaries’ business, operations, properties, books, files and records, and will do everything reasonably necessary to enable each Purchaser and its representatives, counsel, accountants, agents and employees to make a complete examination of the financial statements, business, assets and properties of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and the condition thereof and to update such examination at such intervals as such Purchaser shall deem appropriate, all upon reasonable notice and at such reasonable times and as often as such Purchaser may reasonably request; (ii) deliver to each Purchaser, simultaneously with its delivery to the Company’s senior management, (A) the monthly financial reporting package delivered to the Company’s senior management and (B) any other periodic financial reports prepared by or on behalf of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries for the senior management of the Company; (iii) make appropriate officers of the Company and Company Subsidiaries available upon reasonable notice and at such reasonable times and as often as Purchasers may reasonably request for consultation with such Purchaser with respect to matters relating to the business and affairs of the Company and Company Subsidiaries; and (iv) to the extent consistent with applicable law, inform Purchasers in advance (except with respect to events which require public disclosure, in which case only following the Company’s public disclosure thereof through applicable securities law filings or otherwise) with respect to any material corporate actions and consult with the Company and Company Subsidiaries with respect to such actions, and consider, in good faith, the recommendations of Purchasers in connection with the matters on which they are consulted as described above, recognizing that the ultimate discretion with respect to all such matters shall be retained by the Company.

(b) No investigation by Purchasers or its representatives shall affect the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in this Agreement.

6.1 Commercially Reasonable Best Efforts. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company and Purchasers agree to cooperate with the other and use their commercially reasonable best efforts in good faith to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper, desirable, or advisable on its part under this Agreement or under applicable laws to consummate and make effective the Transaction as promptly as practicable, including the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article 8 hereof.

6.2 Press Releases.

6.3 Regulatory Approvals. Without limiting the generality of Section 6.1, each Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to prepare and file on behalf of it and any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates, and, to the extent necessary, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to prepare and file on behalf of it or any Company Subsidiary or Affiliate, all documentation to effect all necessary notices, reports and other filings and to obtain all permits,

consents, approvals and authorizations necessary or advisable to be obtained from any third parties and/or Governmental Authorities in order to consummate the Transaction, and the Company shall reasonably cooperate with Purchasers in connection with the foregoing; and any initial filings with Governmental Authorities shall be made by Purchasers as soon as reasonably practicable after the date hereof. TBW shall seek to obtain reasonable assurances from the OTS that Regulation W would not materially restrict existing dealings between TBW and Colonial Bank (“Regulation W Determination”). Subject to applicable laws relating to the exchange of information, Purchasers and the Company shall have the right to review in advance, and to the extent practicable each shall consult with the other on, all material written information submitted to any third party and/or any Governmental Authority in connection with the Transaction. In exercising the foregoing right, each of the parties agrees to act reasonably and as promptly as practicable. Each party hereto agrees that it shall to the extent legally permissible and practicable consult with the other with respect to the obtaining of all material permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all third parties and/or Governmental Authorities necessary or advisable to consummate the Transaction and each party shall to the extent legally permissible and practicable keep the other party apprised of the status of material matters relating to completion of the Transaction (including to the extent legally permissible and practicable (i) promptly furnishing the other with copies of notices or other communications received by Purchasers or the Company, as the case may be, from any third party and/or Governmental Authority with respect to the Transaction and the establishment of any bank or thrift holding company for purposes of the Transaction, and as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement and, to the extent permitted by law, and (ii) providing descriptions of any oral communications from such persons). Each party agrees, upon request, to furnish the other party with all information concerning itself, its subsidiaries, directors, officers and stockholders or shareholders, as applicable, other than any information concerning each party’s officers, principals, directors and stockholders or shareholders the disclosing party reasonably determines to be confidential, and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with any filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of such other party to any third party and/or Governmental Authority.

6.4 NYSE Application; Amendment to Certificate of Incorporation.

(a) As soon as practicable following the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall deliver to the NYSE, pursuant to Paragraph 312.05 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, notice of and the requisite documents relating to the Company’s intent to issue the Shares without obtaining approval of the stockholders of the Company. No later than ten days after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall mail to all stockholders, in compliance with said Paragraph 312.05, a letter alerting the stockholders to the Company’s omission to seek stockholder approval and that the Company’s Audit Committee has approved such exception to the NYSE shareholder approval policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, after the Company delivers such requisite Paragraph 312.05 notice and documentation to the NYSE, the NYSE rejects such application (other than a rejection based on a technical defect in such application that is curable by the Company, in which case the Company shall cure such defect as soon as practicable after such notice from the NYSE), the Company shall comply with the covenant set forth in Section 6.4(b) as soon as practicable after such rejection.

(b) Not later than three months after the Closing Date, the Company Board shall submit to its stockholders for approval (the “Stockholder Approval”) an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation (i) increasing the number of authorized shares of Company Common Stock so that there will be a sufficient number of authorized shares of Company Common Stock to satisfy the conversion rights of all holders of the Shares and any other holders of the Company’s Preferred Stock having conversion rights, (ii) reducing the par value of the Company Common Stock to $0.01 per share, and (iii) authorizing any amendments required by the TARP Capital Purchase Program or any similar governmental program. The Company Board shall recommend that the Company’s stockholders approve such amendment, and will use all reasonable best efforts to obtain from the Company’s stockholders a vote approving and adopting such amendment. If the Stockholder Approval is not obtained within such three month period, the Company Board shall take all necessary action in accordance with the DGCL to effectuate a reverse stock split to so increase the number of authorized shares of Company Common Stock.

6.5 No Solicitation.

(a) During the period from the date of this Agreement to the earlier of the Closing or the date of termination of this Agreement, the Company agrees that it will not, and will cause the Company Subsidiaries and its and the Company Subsidiaries’ officers, directors, agents, advisors and affiliates not to, initiate, solicit, encourage or knowingly facilitate inquiries or proposals with respect to, or engage in any negotiations concerning, or provide any confidential or nonpublic information or data to, or have any discussions with, any person relating to, any Acquisition Proposal. The Company will immediately cease and cause to be terminated any activities, discussions or negotiations conducted before the date of this Agreement with any persons other than Purchasers with respect to any Acquisition Proposal and will use its reasonable best efforts, subject to applicable law, to enforce any confidentiality or similar agreement relating to an Acquisition Proposal.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing Section 6.5(a), in the event that, at any time before close of business on May 22, 2009, the Company receives an unsolicited Acquisition Proposal and the Company Board concludes in good faith that there is a reasonable likelihood that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or is reasonably likely to result in a Superior Proposal, the Company may, and may permit the Company Subsidiaries and its and the Company Subsidiaries’ representatives to, furnish or cause to be furnished nonpublic information and participate in such negotiations or discussions to the extent that the Company Board concludes in good faith (and based on the advice of counsel) that failure to take such actions would be reasonably likely to result in a violation of its fiduciary duties under applicable law; provided that prior to providing any nonpublic information permitted to be provided pursuant to the foregoing proviso, it shall have entered into a confidentiality agreement with such third party on terms no less favorable to the Company than any confidentiality agreement entered into with Purchasers relating to the Transaction. The Company will promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) advise Purchasers following receipt of any Acquisition Proposal and the substance thereof (including the identity of the person making such Acquisition Proposal), and will keep Purchasers apprised of any related developments, discussions and negotiations (including the terms and conditions of the Acquisition Proposal) on a current basis.

Notwithstanding the foregoing Section 6.5(a), in the event that, at any time during the thirty (30) day period after the date of this Agreement, the Company receives an unsolicited Acquisition Proposal and the Company Board concludes in good faith that there is a reasonable likelihood that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or is reasonably likely to result in a Superior Proposal, the Company may, and may permit the Company Subsidiaries and its and the Company Subsidiaries’ representatives to, furnish or cause to be furnished nonpublic information and participate in such negotiations or discussions to the extent that the Company Board concludes in good faith (and based on the advice of counsel) that failure to take such actions would be reasonably likely to result in a violation of its fiduciary duties under applicable law; provided that prior to providing any nonpublic information permitted to be provided pursuant to the foregoing proviso, it shall have entered into a confidentiality agreement with such third party on terms no less favorable to the Company than any confidentiality agreement entered into with Purchasers relating to the Transaction. The Company will promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) advise Purchasers following receipt of any Acquisition Proposal and the substance thereof (including the identity of the person making such Acquisition Proposal), and will keep Purchasers apprised of any related developments, discussions and negotiations (including the terms and conditions of the Acquisition Proposal) on a current basis.

(c) The Company covenants that it will not accept, approve, endorse, recommend or enter into any agreement, understanding or arrangement in respect of a Superior Proposal (other than a confidentiality agreement permitted by Section 6.5(b)) unless:

(i) The Company has complied with its obligations under Section 6.5(b) and has provided Purchasers with a copy of the Superior Proposal; and

(ii) A period (the “Response Period”) of five Business Days has elapsed from the date that is the later of (x) the date on which Purchasers receive written notice from the Company Board that the Company Board has determined, subject only to compliance with this Section 6.5, to accept, approve, endorse, recommend or enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, and (y) the date Purchasers receive a copy of the Superior Proposal.

(d) During the Response Period, Purchasers will have the right, but not the obligation, to offer to amend this Agreement, including an increase in, or modification of, the Purchase Price. The Company Board shall review any such offer by Purchasers to amend this Agreement to determine whether the Acquisition Proposal to which Purchasers are responding would continue to be a Superior Proposal when assessed against the Transaction as it is proposed in writing by Purchasers to be amended. If the Company Board determines that the Acquisition Proposal no longer constitutes a Superior Proposal, the Company Board will cause the Company to enter into an amendment to this Agreement with Purchasers incorporating the amendments to this Agreement as set out in the written offer to amend. If the Company Board determines that the Acquisition Proposal continues to be a Superior Proposal, the Company may accept such Superior Proposal and may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(f) in order to accept or enter into an agreement, understanding or arrangement to proceed with the Superior Proposal, subject to Section 9.2.

(e) Each successive amendment to any Acquisition Proposal that results in an increase in, or modification of, the consideration (or value of such consideration) to be received by the Company shall constitute a new Acquisition Proposal for the purposes of this Section 6.5 and Purchasers shall be afforded a new Response Period and the rights afforded in this Section 6.5 in respect of each such Acquisition Proposal.

(f) As used in this Agreement, “Acquisition Proposal” means a tender or exchange offer, proposal for a merger, consolidation or other business combination involving Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries or any proposal or offer to acquire in any manner more than fifteen percent (15%) of the voting power in, or more than fifteen percent (15%) of the fair market value of the business, assets or deposits of, the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries, other than the Transaction or any participation in (or application to participate in) the TARP Capital Purchase Program, the Capital Assistance Program or any similar governmental program.

(g) As used in this Agreement, “Superior Proposal” means a written Acquisition Proposal that the Company Board concludes in good faith to be more favorable from a financial point of view to its stockholders than the Transaction, (i) after receiving the advice of its financial advisors (who shall be a nationally recognized investment banking firm), (ii) after taking into account the likelihood of consummation of such transaction on the terms set forth therein and (iii) after taking into account all legal (with the advice of outside counsel), financial (including the financing terms of any such proposal), regulatory and other aspects of such proposal and any other relevant factors permitted under applicable law; provided that for purposes of the definition of “Superior Proposal,” the references to “more than fifteen percent (15%)” in the definition of Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to be references to “a majority.”

6.6 Conversion Application. As soon as practicable after the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall cause Colonial Bank to file an application with the OTS to convert from an Alabama state bank to a federally chartered savings and loan association, and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the approval of such application from the OTS. As soon as practicable following the approval of such conversion by the OTS, the Company shall deregister as a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act, as amended, with the Federal Reserve.

6.7 Board Seats.

(a) On the Closing Date or as soon as practicable thereafter, the Company Board shall fix the number of directors at fifteen (15), of which five individuals, selected by Purchasers as representatives of Purchasers as set forth below (the “Board Representatives”), shall be appointed to the Company Board and commence serving on the Company Board immediately thereafter, subject to satisfactory completion of a Directors & Officers questionnaire and provision of other background information as may be reasonably requested by the Company, and subject to any required approvals of Regulatory Authorities. On the Closing Date or as soon as practicable thereafter, the Company shall also cause two of the Board Representatives, at the option of the Required Purchasers, to be appointed to the Executive Committee of the Company

Board (or any successor committee thereto). The Board Representatives shall be added to each class of the Company Board as the Company and Purchasers shall mutually determine so that an approximately equal number of Board Representatives will be added to each class. Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, the Company shall cause the Company Board’s composition to be as follows: (i) the five Board Representatives; (ii) five other continuing directors; and (iii) five other directors, mutually agreeable to the Company and Purchasers. On the Closing Date or as soon as practicable thereafter, the Company shall cause Colonial Bank to fix the number of directors on the board of Colonial Bank at thirteen (13), and shall cause Colonial Bank to add the five Board Representatives to the Colonial Bank Board of Directors as well.

(b) Regardless of the classes in which the Board Representatives have been placed, the Company shall include the Board Representatives in the Company’s slate of director nominees recommended by the Company Board to be voted on by stockholders of the Company at the 2010 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2010 Meeting”), subject to satisfaction of all legal and governance requirements applicable to all board members regarding service as a director of the Company, including any applicable NYSE requirements. The Company shall also cause two Board Representatives to be re-appointed to the Executive Committee of the Company Board (or any successor committee thereto).

(c) Through the 2010 Meeting and, assuming the Board Representatives are re-elected at the 2010 Meeting by the stockholders of the Company, through the 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, and consistent with any applicable rules of the NYSE, the Required Purchasers shall have the power to designate a replacement for a Board Representative upon the death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office of such director, subject to satisfaction of all legal and governance requirements applicable to all board members regarding service as a director of the Company.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 6.7, at the time of the 2010 Meeting or the 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, as the case may be, (i) in the event that Purchasers hold, on an aggregate as-converted basis, less than fifty percent (50%) but greater than or equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the number of Shares acquired by Purchasers under this Agreement, then the Required Purchasers shall be entitled to appoint three Board Representatives and one member of the Executive Committee, and (ii) in the event that Purchasers hold, on an aggregate as-converted basis, less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the number of Shares acquired by Purchasers under this Agreement, Purchasers shall not have the right under this Section 6.7 to appoint any Board Representatives or members of the Executive Committee.

6.8 Preemptive Rights.

(a) If the Company offers to sell Covered Securities in a public or private offering of Covered Securities solely for cash (a “Qualified Offering”), each Purchaser shall be afforded the opportunity to acquire from the Company, for the same price and on the same terms as such Covered Securities are offered, in the aggregate up to the amount of Covered Securities required to enable such Purchaser to maintain its then-current Purchaser Percentage Interest, but solely to the extent that any such issuance of shares of Covered Securities would not result in the

issuance of Covered Securities that would require a vote of the stockholders of the Company pursuant to the listing standards of the NYSE. As used in this Section 6.8: (i) “Purchaser Percentage Interest” means, as of any date, the percentage equal to (A) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock beneficially owned (with the term “beneficial ownership” having the meaning ascribed in Section 13(d)(3) and Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) or otherwise held by such Purchaser as of such date, calculated on an as-converted basis, divided by (B) the total number of outstanding shares of Company Common Stock as of such date, calculated on an as-converted basis, provided that for purposes of calculating shares held by Purchasers in the foregoing subsections (A) and (B), in the event of any Qualified Offering occurring prior to the Closing, Purchaser Percentage Interest will be calculated on a pro forma basis as if the Shares had been issued hereunder; and (ii) “Covered Securities” means Company Common Stock and any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Company Common Stock, other than securities that are (A) issued by the Company pursuant to any employment contract, employee or benefit plan, stock purchase plan, stock ownership plan, stock option or equity compensation plan or other similar plan where stock is being issued or offered to a trust, other entity to or for the benefit of any employees, potential employees, consultants, officers or director of the Company, (B) issued by the Company in connection with a business combination or other merger, acquisition or disposition transaction, (C) issued with reference to the Common Stock of a Subsidiary (i.e., a carve-out transaction), (D) issued as a dividend or in connection with a dividend reinvestment or stockholder purchase plan, (E) issued in exchange for currently outstanding securities, or (F) issued to the United States Treasury as part of the TARP Capital Purchase Program or any similar governmental program.

(b) Prior to making any Qualified Offering of Covered Securities, the Company shall give each Purchaser written notice of its intention (including, in the case of a registered public offering and to the extent possible, a copy of the prospectus included in the registration statement filed in respect of such), describing, to the extent then known, the anticipated amount of securities, price (or, in the case of a registered public offering, an estimated range of prices) and other material terms upon which the Company proposes to offer the same. Such Purchaser shall have thirty (30) days from the provision of such notice to notify the Company in writing that it intends to exercise such preemptive purchase rights and as to the amount of Covered Securities such Purchaser desires to purchase, up to the maximum amount calculated pursuant to Section 6.8(a) (the “Designated Securities”). Such notice shall constitute a non-binding indication of interest of such Purchaser to purchase the amount of Designated Securities so specified (or a proportionately lesser amount if the amount of Covered Securities to be offered in such Qualified Offering is subsequently reduced) at the price (or range of prices) and other terms set forth in the Company’s notice to it. The failure by such Purchaser to respond during such thirty (30) day period shall constitute a waiver of preemptive rights in respect of such offering. The obligation of the Company to provide such notice shall be subject to such Purchaser’s written agreement to confidentiality and restrictions on trading terms reasonably acceptable to the Company.

(c) If a Purchaser exercises such Purchaser’s preemptive purchase rights provided in this Section 6.8 with respect to a Qualified Offering that is an underwritten public offering or a private offering made to qualified institutional buyers (as such term is defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) for resale pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act,

the Company shall offer such Purchaser, if such underwritten public offering or Rule 144A offering is consummated, the Designated Securities (as adjusted downward or, at such Purchaser’s option, upward to reflect the actual size of such offering when priced) at the same price as the Covered Securities are offered to the initial purchasers in such offering and shall provide written notice of such price to such Purchaser as soon as practicable prior to such consummation. Contemporaneously with the execution of any underwriting agreement or purchase agreement entered into between the Company and the underwriters or initial purchasers of such underwritten public offering or Rule 144A offering, such Purchaser shall, if it continues to wish to exercise its preemptive rights with respect to such offering, enter into an instrument in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company acknowledging such Purchaser’s binding obligation to purchase the Designated Securities to be acquired by it and containing representations, warranties and agreements of such Purchaser that are customary in private placement transactions and, in any event, no less favorable to such Purchaser than any underwriting or purchase agreement entered into by the Company in connection with such offering, and the failure to enter into such an instrument at or prior to such time shall constitute a waiver of preemptive rights in respect of such offering. Any offers and sales pursuant to this Section 6.8(c) in the context of a registered public offering shall also be conditioned on reasonably acceptable representations and warranties of such Purchaser regarding its status as the type of offeree to whom a private sale can be made concurrently with a registered offering in compliance with applicable securities laws.

(d) If a Purchaser exercises its preemptive rights provided in this Section 6.8 with respect to a Qualified Offering that is not an underwritten public offering or Rule 144A offering (a “Private Placement”), the closing of the purchase of the Covered Securities with respect to which such right has been exercised shall be conditioned on the consummation of the Private Placement giving rise to such preemptive purchase rights and shall take place simultaneously with the closing of the Private Placement or on such other date as the Company and such Purchaser shall agree in writing; provided that the actual amount of Covered Securities to be sold to such Purchaser pursuant to its exercise of preemptive rights hereunder shall be reduced if the aggregate amount of Covered Securities sold in the Private Placement is reduced and, at the option of such Purchaser (to be exercised by delivery of written notice to the Company within five (5) Business Days of receipt of notice of such increase), shall be increased if such aggregate amount of Covered Securities sold in the Private Placement is increased. In connection with its purchase of Designated Securities, such Purchaser shall, if it continues to wish to exercise its preemptive rights with respect to such offering, execute an agreement containing representations, warranties and agreements of such Purchaser that are substantially similar in all material respects to the agreements executed by other purchasers in such Private Placement.

(e) If, prior to consummation of a Qualified Offering, the terms of the proposed issuance change with the result that the price is less than the minimum price or more than the maximum price set forth in the notice contemplated by Section 6.8(b) or the other principal terms are more favorable in any material respect to the prospective purchaser than those set forth in such notice, it shall be necessary for a separate notice to be furnished, and the terms and provisions of this Section 6.8 separately complied with.

(f) Anything to the contrary in this Section 6.8 notwithstanding, the preemptive right to purchase Covered Securities granted by this Section 6.8 as to a Purchaser shall terminate as of and not be available for any offering that commences at any time after the date on which such Purchaser offers, sells, pledges, or otherwise transfers any Shares purchased hereunder, including by way of entry into any swap or other agreement or transaction that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or transfers, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, the economic consequence of ownership of such Shares (a “Hedging Transaction”).

6.9 Restrictions on Transfer. For the period from the Closing Date until the date that is one year after the Closing Date, and subject to all applicable securities laws, no Purchaser shall, directly or indirectly, transfer, sell, assign, pledge, convey, hypothecate or otherwise encumber or dispose of, or engage in a Hedging Transaction with respect to (collectively, “Transfer”) any of the Shares held by such Purchaser, other than:

(a) any Transfer by a Purchaser which, when taken together with any other Transfers of Shares by such Purchaser to the same person or any of its Affiliates at any time, would cause all such Transfers to represent 9.9% or less of the aggregate outstanding shares of Company Common Stock and Preferred Stock, on an as-converted basis, as of immediately prior to such Transfer;

(b) Transfers with the consent of the Company Board (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) to any Affiliate of such Purchaser if the transferee agrees in writing for the benefit of the Company (with a copy thereof to be furnished to the Company and to be in form and substance reasonable satisfactory to the Company) to be bound by the terms of this Agreement; and

(c) Transfers pursuant to a merger, tender offer or exchange offer or other business combination, acquisition of assets or similar transaction or change of control involving the Company or any Company Subsidiary so long as such transaction has been approved by the Company Board and, if required, the stockholders of the Company.

6.10 Indemnity for Purchasers. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser and its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, partners, members and employees, and each person who controls such Purchaser within the meaning of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (each an “Indemnified Person”), to the fullest extent lawful, from and against any and all judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) (collectively, “Losses”) arising out of or resulting from any action, suit, claim, proceeding or investigation by any Governmental Authority, stockholder of the Company or any other person (other than the Company or Purchasers) relating to this Agreement or the Transaction (other than any Losses attributable to the acts, errors or omissions on the part of such Purchaser, but not including the Transaction) within eighteen (18) months of the Closing Date; provided, that nothing herein shall be deemed to preclude an Indemnified Person from making an indemnification claim after such eighteen (18) month period with respect to Losses arising during such eighteen (18) month period. With respect to any Losses in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Section 6.10, the respective rights and obligations and

procedures contained in Section 7.9 shall apply as if restated in this Section 6.10. In the event Purchasers receive payment in connection with Section 9.2, any and all obligations of the Company pursuant to this Section 6.10 shall terminate immediately.

6.11 Change in Control Agreements. Simultaneously with or prior to the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered fully executed amendments, consents or waivers to existing employment agreements, change in control agreements and agreements regarding Company Stock Options and grants of restricted stock with employees of the Company, designated by Purchasers, in form and substance satisfactory to Purchasers, providing that the Transaction shall not constitute a change in control under such agreements or awards. Following the execution of this Agreement, upon the reasonable request of the Required Purchasers, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its employees subject to The Colonial BancGroup, Inc. Restated 2001 Long-Term Incentive Plan or any other applicable Company Employee Benefit Plan to execute amendments, consents or waivers providing that the Transaction shall not constitute a change in control under such Company Employee Benefit Plans.

ANY SALE OR OTHER TRANSFER NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH SAID AGREEMENT WILL BE VOID.

INSOFAR AS THE SHARES OF PREFERENCE STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE HELD BY ▇▇▇▇▇▇, BEAN & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ MORTGAGE CORP. OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES, THE SHARES OF PREFERENCE STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE CONVERTED TO COMMON STOCK OF THE ISSUER UNLESS (1) THE AMOUNT OF COMMON STOCK AFTER CONVERSION HELD BY ▇▇▇▇▇▇, BEAN & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ MORTGAGE CORP. OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES WOULD BE LESS THAN 25% OF THE OUTSTANDING NUMBER OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK OF THE ISSUER FOLLOWING CONVERSION, OR (2) THE CONVERSION IS COMPLETED ONLY IN CONNECTION WITH: (A) A WIDELY DISPERSED PUBLIC OFFERING; (B) PRIVATE SALES IN WHICH NO PURCHASER OR GROUP OF PURCHASERS WOULD ACQUIRE MORE THAN 2% OF THE NUMBER OF SHARES OF ISSUER STOCK OUTSTANDING FOLLOWING THE CONVERSION; (C) SALES TO THE ISSUER; OR (D) SALES TO A PARTY THAT IS UNAFFILIATED WITH ▇▇▇▇▇▇, BEAN & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ MORTGAGE CORP.

(c) In the event that any Shares (i) are no longer subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in this Agreement, (ii) are Transferred in a transaction registered under the Securities Act, (iii) are Transferred in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and upon delivery to the Company of such documents as it may reasonably request with respect to such exemption, or (iv) upon a Purchaser’s request and receipt by the Company and its transfer agent of an opinion of such Purchaser’s counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company and its transfer agent, to the effect that a “private placement” legend is no longer required under the Act and applicable state laws, the Company shall issue new certificates representing such Shares, which shall not contain such portion of the above legend that is no longer applicable. Each Purchaser acknowledges that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or under any state securities laws and agrees that it will not sell or otherwise dispose of the Shares, except in compliance with the registration requirements or exemption provisions of the Securities Act and any other applicable securities laws.

7.2 Definitions. For purposes of this Article 7, the following capitalized terms have the following meanings:

“Person”: Any individual, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, corporation, association, trust or any other entity or organization.

“Registrable Securities”: The shares of Company Common Stock into which the Shares are convertible, together with any other securities which a Purchaser may acquire on account of any the Shares, including, without limitation, as the result of any dividend or other distribution on the Company Common Stock or any split-up of the Company Common Stock or in connection with any combination of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or reorganization or otherwise.

“Registration Statement”: Any registration statement of the Company under the Securities Act that covers any of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, including the related prospectus, any preliminary prospectus, all amendments and supplements to such registration statement (including post-effective amendments), all exhibits and all material incorporated by reference or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such registration statement.

“Underwritten Offering”: A distribution, registered pursuant to the Securities Act, in which securities of the Company are sold to the public through one or more underwriters.

7.3 Demand Registration.

(a) Requests for Registration. At any time commencing on or after the date that is 270 days following the Closing Date, the Required Purchasers will have the right, by written notice delivered to the Company (a “Demand Notice”), to require the Company to register Registrable Securities under and in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act

(a “Demand Registration”); provided that (i) Purchasers may not make more than three Demand Registrations, and (ii) the Purchasers desiring to participate in the offering must provide to the Company a certificate (the “Authorizing Certificate”) signed by the participating Purchasers; and provided, further, that no Demand Notice may be given prior to six months after the effective date of the immediately preceding Demand Registration. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the filing of two or more Registration Statements in response to one demand shall be counted as one Demand Registration. Each request for a Demand Registration by the Purchasers shall state the amount of the Registrable Securities proposed to be sold and the intended method of disposition thereof. The Authorizing Certificate shall set forth (A) the name of each participating Purchaser signing such Authorizing Certificate, (B) the number of Registrable Securities held by each participating Purchaser and the number of Registrable Securities each participating Purchaser has elected to have registered, and (C) the intended methods of disposition of the Registrable Securities. Any participating Purchaser may at its option withdraw Registrable Securities from a registration and, in such event (l) any continuing registration of Registrable Securities shall constitute the Demand Registration to which the Purchasers are entitled and (2) the withdrawing participating Purchaser shall reimburse the Company for any registration and filing fees (including any fees payable to the SEC) it has incurred with respect to the withdrawn Registrable Securities (unless all Registrable Securities are withdrawn, in which case the withdrawing Purchasers shall reimburse the Company for all costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with the registration of such Registrable Securities). Subject to compliance with clause (2) of the preceding sentence, a registration that is terminated in its entirety prior to the effective date of the applicable Registration Statement will not constitute a Demand Registration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at the time of withdrawal, a participating Purchaser has learned of a material adverse change in the condition, business or prospects of the Company and has withdrawn the request with reasonable promptness following disclosure by the Company, such participating Purchaser shall not be subject to clause (2) above.

If a Demand Registration is not declared and maintained effective for the period required by Section 7.3(b) or if the consummation of the offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Demand Registration (A) is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or other governmental agency or court for any Person which is not directly caused by the act or omission of any Purchaser and such act or omission is not thereafter eliminated or (B) the conditions specified in the underwriting agreement with respect to an Underwritten Offering, if any, entered into in connection with such Demand Registration are not satisfied or waived, other than by reason of a failure by a participating Purchaser, then the Purchasers shall be entitled to an additional Demand Registration in lieu thereof.

(b) Filing and Effectiveness.

(i) The Company will file a Registration Statement relating to any Demand Registration as promptly as practicable (but in any event within 45 days in the case of a registration made on Form S-1, or a comparable successor form, as applicable, or 30 days in the case of any registration eligible to be made on Form S-3 or a comparable successor form, as applicable) following the date on which the Demand Notice is given and will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the same to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable thereafter (the “Effectiveness Date”).

(ii) The Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to comply with all necessary provisions of the federal securities laws in order to keep each Registration Statement relating to a Demand Registration effective for a period of (A) in the case of an Underwritten Offering, 120 days from its Effectiveness Date, and (B) in the case of any registration made pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, when all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold pursuant to such Registration Statement (in each case, such period being the “Effectiveness Period”); provided, however, that if a delay, suspension or withdrawal under Section 7.6 hereof occurs during an Effectiveness Period, then such Effectiveness Period will be tolled for the duration of such delay, suspension or withdrawal.

(iii) A Purchaser participating in a Registration Statement will be permitted, subject to its compliance with the provisions of Section 7.3(a) relating to reimbursement of the Company’s expenses, to withdraw in good faith all or part of the Registrable Securities from a Demand Registration at any time prior to the effective date of such Demand Registration, in which event the Company will promptly amend or, if applicable, withdraw the related Registration Statement.

(c) Priority on Demand Registration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the managing underwriter or underwriters of an Underwritten Offering to which such Demand Registration relates advises the Company and the participating Purchasers in writing that the total amount of Registrable Securities that the participating Purchasers, the Company and any other Person intend to include in such Demand Registration is in the aggregate such as to materially and adversely affect the success of such offering, then there will be included in such Demand Registration, (i) first, the number of securities that the Purchasers propose to sell pursuant to such Demand Registration and the number of securities, determined pro rata on the basis of the number of Shares owned by each participating Purchaser, (ii) second, to the extent that the number of securities in clause (i) above is less than the number of securities which the Company and Purchasers have been advised can be sold in such offering without having the adverse effect referred to above, the securities, if any, sought to be included by the Company in the offering, and (iii) third, to the extent that the number of securities in clauses (i) and (ii) above is less than the number of securities which the Company and the Purchasers have been advised can be sold in such offering without having the adverse effect referred to above, the number of securities, if any, requested to be included in such offering by any other Persons pursuant to similar registration rights, determined pro rata on the basis of the number of shares of the class being sold owned by such other Persons requesting registration, collectively.

7.4 Piggyback Registration.

(a) Right to Piggyback. If, at any time following the Closing Date, the Company proposes to file a Registration Statement, whether or not for sale for the Company’s own account or for the account of a stockholder of the Company, on a form and in a manner that would also permit registration, offer or sale of Registrable Securities (other than in connection with a registration statement on Forms S-4 or S-8 or any similar or successor forms), the

Company shall each such time give to the Purchasers holding Registrable Securities written notice of such proposed filing at least 20 days before the anticipated filing. The notice referred to in the preceding sentence shall (i) describe the proposed registration and offering and (ii) offer Purchasers the opportunity to register, offer or sell such amount of Registrable Securities as Purchasers may request (a “Piggyback Registration”). Subject to Section 7.4(b), the Company will include in each such Piggyback Registration (and any related qualification under state blue sky laws and other compliance filings, and in any underwriting involved therein) all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within 10 days after the written notice from the Company is given. Each Purchaser will be permitted, subject to its compliance with the provisions of Section 7.3(a) relating to reimbursement of the Company’s expenses, to withdraw all or part of its Registrable Securities from a Piggyback Registration at any time prior to the effective date of such Piggyback Registration.

(b) Priority on Piggyback Registrations. The Company will cause the managing underwriter or underwriters of a proposed Underwritten Offering to permit the participating Purchasers, if holding Registrable Securities requested to be included in the registration for such offering, to include therein all such Registrable Securities requested to be so included (such securities, together with any other shares of the same class requested to be included in such registration by any other Person pursuant to similar registration rights, the “Piggyback Shares”) on the same terms and conditions as any securities of the Company included therein (other than the indemnification by participating Purchasers, which will be limited as set forth in Section 7.8(b) hereof and provided, that such Purchasers give customary representations and warranties). The Company shall cooperate with the Purchasers in order to limit any representations and warranties to, or agreements with, the Company or the underwriters to be made by the Purchasers only to those representations, warranties or agreements regarding the participating Purchasers, their Registrable Securities and their intended method of distribution and any other representation required by law.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the managing underwriter or underwriters of such Underwritten Offering advises Purchasers in writing to the effect that the total amount of securities that Purchasers, the Company and any other Person propose to include in such Underwritten Offering is such as to materially and adversely affect the success of such offering, then the Company will include in such registration:

(i) in the case of a registration in connection with a sale of securities for the Company’s own account, (A) first, 100% of the securities that the Company proposes to sell for its own account, (B) second, to the extent that the number of securities in clause (A) above is less than the number of securities which the Company has been advised can be sold in such offering without having the adverse effect referred to above, the number of Piggyback Shares of the Purchasers, determined pro rata on the basis of the number of Shares owned by the Purchasers, and (C) third, to the extent that the number of securities in clauses (A) and (B) above is less than the number of securities which the Company has been advised can be sold in such offering without having the adverse effect referred to above, the number of Piggyback Shares requested to be included in such offering by any other Persons pursuant to similar registration rights, determined pro rata on the basis of the number of shares of the class being sold owned by such other Persons requesting registration, collectively; and

(ii) in the case of a registration in connection with a sale of securities on account of any Person other than the Company (the “Initiating Party”), (A) first, 100% of the securities, if any, that the Initiating Party proposes to sell, (B) second, to the extent that the number of securities in clause (A) above is less than the number of securities which the Company has been advised can be sold in such offering without having the adverse effect referred to above, the number of Piggyback Shares of the participating Purchasers, determined pro rata on the basis of the number of Shares then owned by those Purchasers wishing to participate, (C) third, to the extent that the number of securities in clauses (A) and (B) above is less than the number of securities which the Company has been advised can be sold in such offering without having the adverse effect referred to above, the number of Piggyback Shares requested to be included in such offering by any other Persons pursuant to similar registration rights, determined pro rata on the basis of the number of shares of the class being sold owned by such other Persons requesting registration, collectively, and (D) fourth, to the extent that the number of securities in clauses (A) through (C) above is less than the number of securities which the Company has been advised can be sold in such offering without laving the adverse effect referred to above, the securities sought to be included by the Company in the offering.

7.5 Certain Registration Procedures. In connection with a Registration Statement to be filed by the Company pursuant to this Agreement:

(a) Each Purchaser agrees to provide in a timely manner information requested by the Company regarding the proposed distribution by such Purchaser of the Registrable Securities and all other information reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation of such Registration Statement.

(b) The Company will prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to a Registration Statement and the prospectus or prospectus supplement used in connection therewith as may be necessary (i) to keep such Registration Statement effective and usable for resale of the Registrable Securities during the Effectiveness Period, including by refiling a Registration Statement (or a new Registration Statement) if the initial Registration Statement expires, and (ii) to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of the securities covered by such registration statement, in each case for such time as is contemplated by this Article 7. In the event that the Company is a well-known seasoned issuer (as defined under Rule 405 of the Securities Act) at the time of the filing of a Registration Statement with the SEC, such Registration Statement shall be designated by the Company as an automatic Registration Statement.

(c) The Company will furnish to Purchasers such number of copies of the applicable Registration Statement and each such amendment and supplement thereto (including in each case all exhibits) and of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned or to be distributed by them.

(d) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by each Registration Statement under such other securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by Purchasers, to keep such registration or qualification in effect for so long as such Registration Statement remains in effect, and to take any other action which may be reasonably necessary to enable each Purchaser to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement that are owned by such Purchaser; provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions;

(e) After the filing of a Registration Statement, the Company will promptly notify Purchasers of any stop order issued or threatened by the SEC and shall take all commercially reasonable actions required to prevent the entry of such stop order or to remove it if entered.

(f) The Company shall cause the Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange on which Company Common Stock is then listed.

(g) The Company shall promptly notify Purchaser:

(i) at any time when a prospectus relating to a Registration Statement is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the existence of any fact of which the Company is aware or the occurrence of an event requiring the preparation of a supplement or amendment to either a Registration Statement or related prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Securities, such Registration Statement or related prospectus, both as then in effect, will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statement therein, in light of the circumstances then existing, not misleading and promptly make available to each Purchaser a reasonable number of copies of any such supplement or amendment;

(ii) when any Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Article 7 or any amendment thereto (other than through the incorporation by reference therein of any report, statement or other document required to be filed pursuant to the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder) has been filed with the SEC and when such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective; and

(iii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to any Registration Statement or the prospectus included therein; and

(iv) of the receipt by the Company or its legal counsel of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Company Common Stock for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.

(h) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to procure the cooperation of the Company’s transfer agent in settling any offering or sale of Registrable Securities, including with respect to the transfer of physical stock certificates into book-entry form in accordance with any procedures reasonably requested by a Purchaser.

(i) The Company will enter into such customary agreements (including, in the event of an Underwritten Offering, an underwriting agreement in form, scope and substance as is customary in underwritten offerings) and take all such other commercially reasonable and customary actions in connection therewith (including those reasonably requested by the Purchasers or, in the event of an Underwritten Offering, those reasonably requested by the managing underwriters) in order to facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities and in such connection, but only where an underwriting agreement is entered into in connection with an Underwritten Offering: (i) make such representations and warranties to the underwriters with respect to the businesses of the Company and its subsidiaries, the Registration Statement, prospectus and documents incorporated by reference or deemed incorporated by reference therein, if any, in each case, in form, substance and scope as are customarily made by issuers to underwriters in underwritten offerings and confirm the same if and when requested; (ii) obtain opinions of counsel to the Company and updates thereof, which counsel and opinions (in form, scope and substance) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the managing underwriters, if any, addressed to each of the underwriters covering the matters customarily covered in opinions requested in underwritten offerings and such other matters as may be reasonably requested by such underwriters; (iii) obtain “comfort” letters and updates thereof from the independent certified public accountants of the Company (and, if necessary, any other certified public accountants of any subsidiary of the Company or of any business acquired by the Company for which financial statements and financial data is, or is required to be, included in the Registration Statement), addressed to each of the underwriters, such letters to be in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in “comfort” letters in connection with underwritten offerings; (iv) cause the Company’s management to be made available for, and assist in, the marketing and disposition of such Registrable Securities in the manner and to the extent reasonably requested by the underwriters including, without limitation, participation by management in customary road shows, investor conferences and other similar presentations; and (v) deliver such documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by the managing underwriters, if any, to evidence the continued validity of the representations and warranties of the Company and its subsidiaries made pursuant to clause (i) above and to evidence compliance with any customary conditions contained in the underwriting agreement entered into by the Company. The foregoing actions will be taken in connection with each closing under such underwriting agreement as and to the extent required thereunder.

(j) All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with a Registration Statement hereunder shall be borne by the Company. “Registration Expenses” means the following expenses incurred by the Company in effecting any registration pursuant to this Agreement (whether or not any registration or prospectus becomes effective or final): all registration fees, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, blue sky filing fees, printing expenses, and expenses of the Company’s independent accountants in connection with any regular or special reviews incident to or required by such registration, and fees and disbursements of counsel for Purchaser. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not be responsible for and shall not pay any underwriting discounts, selling commissions and stock transfer taxes applicable to the sale of Registrable Securities.

(k) If any of the Registrable Securities included in any Demand Registration are to be sold in an Underwritten Offering, the participating Purchasers may select an investment banking firm or firms to manage the Underwritten Offering, provided that such investment banker or bankers is (are) reasonably acceptable to the Company. The Company and the participating Purchasers agree that, in connection with any Underwritten Offering hereunder, the relevant registration shall be in a firm commitment underwritten offering and they shall each undertake to offer customary indemnification, representations and warranties to the participating underwriters and to agree to any restrictions required by the underwriters on the sale of Company Common Stock or other securities by such party after the completion of the Underwritten Offering; provided, however, that the restriction so imposed on the participating Purchasers shall be no more onerous than the restrictions imposed on any other holder of securities included in such offering; and provided, further that the Company shall not be required to agree to (i) restrictions with respect to the issuance of equity incentives to employees, the issuance of securities on exercise of outstanding warrants or convertible securities, the issuance of securities in connection with a merger, acquisition, joint venture or other strategic transaction, or (ii) any restrictions that extend beyond the restrictions imposed on Purchaser for a term of ninety (90) days (one hundred eighty (180) days for an initial public offering) from the effective date of the applicable Registration Statement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, before Registrable Securities shall be included in any Demand Registration, the participating Purchasers and any underwriter acting on their behalf shall have agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who shall sign such registration statement and any person who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, with respect to any statement or omission from such registration statement, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, if such statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company through an instrument duly executed by such Purchaser or underwriter specifically for use in the preparation of such registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or amendment or supplement.

(l) All obligations of the Company and Purchasers in this Article 7 (other than as set forth in Sections 7.7, 7.8, 7.9 and 7.10) shall terminate and be of no further force and effect with respect to any Registrable Securities once (i) they are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, (ii) they may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act without limitation thereunder on volume or manner of sale, or (iii) they shall have ceased to be outstanding.

7.6 Material Developments; Suspension of Offering.

(a) Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 7.3 or 7.4 hereof or any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to file a Registration Statement or to keep a Registration Statement effective if the negotiation or consummation of a transaction by the Company or any Company Subsidiary or Affiliates is pending or an event has occurred, which negotiation, consummation or event would require additional disclosure by the Company in a Registration Statement of material information which the Company in its reasonable judgment has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential and the nondisclosure of which in a Registration Statement would be expected, in

the Company’s reasonable determination, to cause a Registration Statement or any prospectus filed with respect thereto or included therein to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements; provided, however, that the Company (i) will promptly notify Purchasers of a delay, suspension or withdrawal pursuant to this Section 7.6 (without having to provide details thereof) and (ii) may not delay, suspend or withdraw a Registration Statement for such reason under this Section 7.6 more than four (4) times in any twelve (12) month period and in no event for more than one hundred and twenty (120) days during the same such twelve (12) month period. Upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event during the period when a Registration Statement is effective which is of a type specified in the preceding sentence or as a result of which a Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statement therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, Purchasers will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Registrable Securities under a Registration Statement (until Purchasers have received copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus or prospectus supplement that corrects the misstatements or omissions and received notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless notified by the Company that Purchasers may resume such offers and sales). If so directed by the Company, each Purchaser will use its reasonable best efforts to deliver to the Company any copies of the prospectus, other than permanent file copies then in Purchaser’s possession, covering the Registrable Securities in its possession at the time of receipt of such notice. Except as required by law, each Purchaser agrees to keep confidential the fact that the Company has exercised its rights under this Section 7.6 and all facts and circumstances relating to such exercise until such information is made public by the Company.

(b) If all reports required to be filed by the Company pursuant to the Exchange Act have not been filed by the required date without regard to any extension, or if the consummation of any business combination by the Company has occurred or is probable for purposes of Rule 3-05 or Article 11 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act, upon written notice thereof by the Company to Purchasers, the rights of Purchasers to offer, sell or distribute any Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement or to require the Company to take action with respect to a Registration Statement pursuant to this Agreement shall be suspended until the date on which the Company has filed such reports or obtained and filed the financial information required by Rule 3-05 or Article 11 of Regulation S-X to be included or incorporated by reference, as applicable, in such Registration Statement and the Company shall notify Purchasers as promptly as practicable when such suspension is no longer required; provided, that the rights of Purchasers shall not be suspended pursuant to the preceding clause more than four (4) times in any twelve (12) month period and in no event for more than one hundred and twenty (120) days during the same such twelve (12) month period. The Company’s rights to suspend its obligations under this Section 7.6(b) shall be in addition to its rights under Section 7.6(a).

7.7 Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser and, as applicable, its Affiliates, partners, members, officers, directors, employees, representatives, and agents, and each person, if any, who controls such Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act from and against any and all losses, claims, actions, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including

reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of attorneys and other professionals incurred in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such losses, claims, actions, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses) caused by:

(a) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any documents incorporated therein by reference (collectively, the “Registration Statement Filings”), or

(b) the omission or alleged omission to state in a Registration Statement Filings a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, or

(c) arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary or final prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or any documents incorporated therein by reference or contained in a Registration Statement at the time it became effective (a “Resale Prospectus”), including any preliminary or final prospectus contained therein or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any documents incorporated therein by reference, or

(d) the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements in the Resale Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon information furnished in writing to the Company by a Purchaser or on such Purchaser’s behalf expressly for inclusion therein; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or omission contained in a Resale Prospectus which was corrected in a supplement or amendment thereto if such claim is brought by a purchaser of the Registrable Securities from a Purchaser and such Purchaser failed to deliver to such purchaser the supplement or amendment to the Resale Prospectus in a timely manner.

7.8 Indemnification by Purchasers. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its officers, directors and agents and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in Section 7.7 from the Company to Purchasers, but only with respect to information relating to such Purchaser furnished in writing by such Purchaser or on such Purchaser’s behalf expressly for use in a Registration Statement or Resale Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto.

7.9 Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings.

(a) Each indemnified party shall give prompt written notice to each indemnifying party of any claim, action, suit or proceeding commenced against it (each a

“Claim”) in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify the indemnifying party (i) shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under the indemnity agreement provided in Section 7.7 or 7.8 above, unless and to the extent the indemnifying party shall have been actually prejudiced by the failure of such indemnified party to so notify such party and (ii) shall not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to the indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided under Section 7.7 or 7.8 above. Such notice shall describe in reasonable detail such Claim.

(b) In case any Claim is brought against an indemnified party, the indemnified party shall be entitled to hire, at its own expense, separate counsel and participate in the defense thereof. If the indemnifying party so elects within a reasonable time after receipt of notice, the indemnifying party may assume the defense of the action or proceeding at the indemnifying party’s own expense with counsel chosen by the indemnifying party and approved by the indemnified party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that the indemnifying party will not settle or compromise any Claim, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any such pending or threatened Claim, without the written consent of the indemnified party unless such settlement, compromise or consent secures the unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liabilities arising out of such Claim; provided, further, that if the defendants in any such Claim include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party reasonably determines, based upon advice of legal counsel experienced in such matters, that such Claim involves a conflict of interest (other than one of a monetary nature) that would reasonably be expected to make it inappropriate for the same counsel to represent both the indemnifying party and the indemnified, then the indemnifying party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of the indemnified party and the indemnified party shall be entitled to separate counsel at the indemnifying party’s expense, which counsel shall be chosen by the indemnified party and approved by the indemnifying party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; and provided, further, that it is understood that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the fees, charges and disbursements of more than one separate firm for the indemnified party. All reasonable fees and third party expenses subject to indemnification hereunder (including any reasonable fees and expenses incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such action or proceeding) will be paid to the indemnified party (provided appropriate documentation for such expenses is also submitted with such notice), as incurred, within five calendar days of written notice thereof to the indemnifying party (regardless of whether it is ultimately determined that an indemnified party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder; provided, however that the indemnified party will be required to repay to the indemnifying party any amounts paid to it for which it is determined the indemnified party was not otherwise entitled within five calendar days of such determination).

(c) If the indemnifying party assumes the defense of any Claim, all indemnified parties shall thereafter deliver to the indemnifying party copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the indemnified party relating to the Claim, and each indemnified party shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution of such Claim. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the indemnifying party’s request) the provision to the indemnifying party of records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. If the indemnifying party is not

entitled to assume the defense of such Claim as a result of the second proviso to the second sentence of Section 7.9(b), the indemnifying party’s counsel shall be entitled to conduct the indemnifying party’s defense and counsel for the indemnified party shall be entitled to conduct the defense of the indemnified party, it being understood that both such counsel will cooperate with each other, to the extent feasible in light of the conflict of interest or different available legal defenses, to conduct the defense of such action or proceeding as efficiently as possible. If the indemnifying party is not so entitled to assume the defense of such action or does not assume the defense, after having received the notice referred to in the first sentence of Section 7.9(a), the indemnifying party will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the indemnified party; in that event, however, the indemnifying party will not be liable for any settlement of any Claim effected without the written consent of the indemnifying party. If an indemnifying party is entitled to assume, and assumes, the defense of an action or proceeding in accordance with Section 7.9(b), the indemnifying party shall not be liable for any fees and expenses of counsel for the indemnified party incurred thereafter in connection with that action or proceeding except as set forth in the second proviso in the second sentence of Section 7.9(b). Unless and until a final judgment is rendered that an indemnified party is not entitled to the costs of defense under the provisions of this Section 7.9, the indemnifying party shall reimburse, promptly as they are incurred, the indemnified party’s costs of defense.

7.10 Contribution.

(a) If the indemnification provided for in Section 7.7 or 7.8 hereof is applicable in accordance with its terms, but if determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be legally unenforceable in respect of any losses, claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs or expenses as between the Company on the one hand and Purchasers on the other, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of Purchasers on the other in connection with such statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of Purchasers on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, the Company or Purchasers, and the Company’s and each Purchaser’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action.

(b) The Company and Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7.10 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 7.10(a). The amount paid or payable by an indemnifying party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in Sections 7.7 and 7.8 hereof shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f)

of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 7.10, each person, if any, who controls a Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Purchaser, and each director of the Company and each officer of the Company who signed a Registration Statement shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company.

7.11 Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available to Purchasers the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which may permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, the Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to:

(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144(c)(1) under the Securities Act or any similar or analogous rule promulgated under the Securities Act, at all times after the effective date of this Agreement;

(b) file with the SEC, in a timely manner, all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Exchange Act; and

(c) furnish to each Purchaser forthwith upon request: a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, and of the Exchange Act; a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company; and such other reports and documents as such Purchaser may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing it to sell any such securities without registration.
