The Audited Financial Statements will be prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except as may be disclosed therein), will fairly present, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Bank and its Subsidiaries, giving effect to the disposition of the Excluded Assets, and the consolidated results of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows of such companies as of the dates and for the periods shown (subject to any other adjustment described therein, including the notes thereto), and will be prepared from, and be in accordance with, the books and records of the Bank and its Subsidiaries.

(c) Except for (i) those liabilities that are fully reflected or reserved for in the consolidated balance sheet of the Bank included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2008, as filed with the OTS, (ii) this Agreement or (iii) liabilities incurred since June 30, 2008 in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, neither the Bank nor any of its Subsidiaries has incurred any liability of any nature whatsoever (whether absolute, accrued or contingent or otherwise and whether due or to become due) that either alone or when combined with all other liabilities of a type not described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) has had, or would be reasonably expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect on the Bank.

(c) Well-Known Seasoned Issuer; Form S-3 Eligibility. (i) At the time of filing the Registration Statement and (ii) at the time of the most recent amendment thereto, if any, for the purposes of complying with Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act (whether such amendment was by post-effective amendment, incorporated report filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or form of prospectus), the Purchaser was and is a “well-known

seasoned issuer” as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act. The Registration Statement is or will be at the time of filing an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement. The Purchaser has not received from the SEC any notice pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) of the Securities Act objecting to use of the automatic shelf registration statement form and the Purchaser has not otherwise ceased to be eligible to use the automatic shelf registration form.

(d) Purchaser Not Ineligible Issuer. At the time of filing the Registration Statement, the Purchaser was not and is not an “ineligible issuer” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act), without taking account of any determination by the SEC pursuant to Rule 405 under the Securities Act that it is not necessary under the circumstances that the Purchaser be considered an ineligible issuer.

(e) Exchange Act Registration; Listing of Purchaser Common Shares. The Purchaser Common Shares are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and are listed on the Trading Market, and Purchaser has taken no action designed to, or likely to have the effect of, terminating the registration of the Purchaser Common Shares under the Exchange Act or delisting the Purchaser Common Shares from the Trading Market, nor has the Purchaser received any notification that the SEC or the Trading Market is contemplating terminating such registration or listing. The Purchaser shall cause the Purchaser Common Shares received by the Sellers under this Agreement to be listed on the Trading Market prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the continued listing of the Purchaser Common Shares.

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

7.1. Regulatory Matters. (a) Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, the parties hereto shall cooperate with each other and use reasonable best efforts to prepare and file promptly all necessary documentation, to effect all applications, notices, petitions and filings, to obtain as promptly as practicable all permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all third parties and Governmental Authorities which are necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to comply with the terms and conditions of all such permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all such third parties and Governmental Authorities. The Bank and the Purchaser shall have the right to review in advance, and to the extent practicable each will consult the other on, in each case subject to applicable Laws, all the information relating to the other party and any of its respective Subsidiaries, that appears in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any third party or any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In exercising the foregoing right, each of the parties hereto shall act reasonably and as promptly as practicable. The parties hereto agree that they will consult with each other with respect to the obtaining of all permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all third parties or Governmental Authorities necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and each party will keep the other reasonably apprised of the status of matters relating to consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall be deemed to require Purchaser to take any action, or commit to take any action, or agree to any condition or restriction in connection with obtaining the foregoing permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of third parties or Governmental Authorities, that would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Purchaser (after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereunder) (a “Materially Burdensome Regulatory Condition”).

(b) The Purchaser and the Bank shall promptly advise each other upon receiving any communication from any Governmental Authority whose consent or approval is required for consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement which causes such party to believe that there is a reasonable likelihood that any Requisite Regulatory Approval will not be obtained or that the receipt of any such approval will be materially delayed or conditioned.

7.2. Access to Information. (a) Upon reasonable notice and subject to applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information, the Bank shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, afford to the officers, employees, accountants, counsel and other representatives of the Purchaser access, during normal business hours during the period prior to the Closing Date, to all its properties, books, contracts, commitments and records, and to its officers, employees, accountants, counsel and other representatives, in each case in a manner not unreasonably disruptive to the operation of the business of the Bank and its Subsidiaries, and, during such period, the Bank shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, make available to the Purchaser (i) a copy of each report, schedule, registration statement and other document filed or received by it during such period pursuant to the requirements of the federal securities Laws or federal or state banking, mortgage lending, real estate or consumer finance or protection Laws (other than reports or documents which the Bank is not permitted to disclose under applicable Law) and (ii) all other information concerning its business, properties and personnel as the Purchaser may

reasonably request. Neither the Bank nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to provide access to or to disclose information where such access or disclosure would jeopardize any attorney-client privilege or contravene any Law. The parties hereto will make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements under circumstances in which the restrictions of the preceding sentence apply.

(b) Upon reasonable notice and subject to applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information, the Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, provide such information regarding the Purchaser and its Subsidiaries as shall be reasonably necessary for the Bank to fulfill its obligations pursuant to this Agreement or that may be reasonably necessary for the Bank to confirm that the representations and warranties of the Purchaser contained herein are true and correct and that the covenants of the Purchaser contained herein have been performed in all material respects. Neither the Purchaser nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to disclose information where such access or disclosure would jeopardize any attorney-client privilege or contravene any Law.

(d) No investigation by any of the parties or their respective representatives shall constitute a waiver of or otherwise affect the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the others set forth herein.

7.3. Employees; Employee Benefit Plans.

(a) As of the Closing Date, the Bank Employees who are employees of the Bank or a Subsidiary of the Bank at the Closing Date shall, so long as such Bank Employees remain employees of the Purchaser and its Affiliates and unless and until such Bank Employees become eligible to participate in the employee benefit plans sponsored or maintained by the Purchaser (the “Purchaser Plans”) in which similarly situated employees of the Purchaser participate, to the same extent as similarly situated employees of the Purchaser so participate (it being understood that inclusion of Bank Employees in such employee benefit plans may occur at different times with respect to different plans), continue to participate in the Plans in which such Bank Employees participated as of immediately prior to the Closing Date, excluding equity-based plans; excluding the ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇ Company Employees’ 401(k) Plan and the ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇ Company Employees’ Profit Sharing Retirement Plan; and excluding, for periods after all distributions have been made to participants as described in Section 7.3(c) hereof, the ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇ Company Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan and the deferred compensation arrangements identified in Section 7.3(a) of the Bank Disclosure Schedule (such ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇ Company Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan and deferred compensation arrangements, collectively referred to herein as the (“Bank Deferred Compensation Plans”)). From and after the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall cause the Bank and its Subsidiaries, and any successors thereto, to honor all Plans, including all employment, retention, severance and change-in-control contracts, agreements and arrangements, listed in Section 4.10(a) of the Bank Disclosure Schedule subject to Sections 7.3(c), (d), (e) and (f) and excluding any Non-Bank Benefit Plans.

(b) With respect to each Purchaser Plan, for purposes of determining eligibility to participate, vesting, entitlement to benefits (including determination of the amount of any benefit that is affected by seniority) and vacation entitlement (but not for accrual of benefits under any defined benefit pension plan or post-retirement welfare benefit plan of the Purchaser), service with the Bank or any of its Subsidiaries (or of their respective predecessors) shall be treated as service with the Purchaser to the extent recognized by the Bank prior to the date of this Agreement under comparable Plans; provided, however, that such service shall not be recognized (i) to the extent that such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits or (ii) for purposes of any plan, program or arrangement under which similarly situated employees of Purchaser and its Subsidiaries do not receive credit for such prior service. Such service also shall apply for purposes of satisfying any waiting periods, evidence of insurability requirements, or the application of any pre-existing condition limitations with respect to any Purchaser Plan. Each Purchaser Plan shall waive pre-existing condition limitations to the same extent waived under the applicable Plan. The Bank Employees shall be given credit for amounts paid under a corresponding benefit plan of the Bank or any of its Subsidiaries during the same period for purposes of applying deductibles, co-payments and out-of-pocket maximums as though such amounts had been paid in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Purchaser Plan during the applicable plan year.

(c) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Sellers shall cause the Bank Deferred Compensation Plans to be amended to provide that no further benefits shall accrue under such plans after the Closing Date (other than interest credited in accordance with the terms of such plans) and that all vested benefits accrued under such plans through the Closing Date shall be paid to the participant, on the first Business Day following the later of January 1, 2009 or the Closing Date, in accordance with the requirements of the Bank Deferred Compensation Plans, as so amended, and Section 409A of the Code and IRS Notice 2007-86.

(d) On the Closing Date, the Bank shall cease to be an adopting employer under, and Bank Employees shall cease to participate in, the ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇ Company Employees’ Profit Sharing Retirement Plan and the ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇ Company Employees’ 401(k) Plan. The Purchaser shall maintain or establish a Purchaser Plan which is a tax-qualified defined contribution plan and shall permit Bank Employees who are employees of the Bank or a Subsidiary of the Bank on and after the Closing Date to participate in such Purchaser Plan as soon as administratively practicable following the Closing Date. Subject to the Purchaser’s receipt of a favorable determination letter from the Bank with respect to each of the ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇ Company Employees’ Profit Sharing Retirement Plan and the ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇ Company Employees’ 401(k) Plan, the Purchaser shall also permit such Bank Employees who receive an eligible rollover distribution from the ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇ Company Employees’ Profit Sharing Retirement Plan and the ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇ Company Employees’ 401(k) Plan to rollover such distribution (including loans) to such Purchaser Plan.

(e) On or prior to the earlier of (i) the Closing Date and (ii) December 31, 2008, the Bank shall enter into or amend the change-in-control contracts identified in Section 4.10(a) of the Bank Disclosure Schedule to provide that a “constructive termination” for

purposes of such contracts will be deemed to have occurred if following the Closing the executive party to such contract is required to work in a principal office that is more than thirty (30) miles from the executive’s principal office immediately prior to the date of such amendment to the contract.

(f) Subject to the following provisos the Board of Directors of the Bank may, at any time prior to Closing, determine that the “price per share” for purposes of Section 17(d) of the change-in-control agreements is up to two times such per share book value, and any such determination by the Board of Directors is hereby agreed by the Purchaser; provided, that such determination shall be subject to the CIC Share Amount to the extent it applies in accordance with its terms; and provided, further that solely in the case of any Bank Employee who is party to such a change-in-control agreement and who is a “disqualified individual” (within the meaning of Section 280G(c) of the Code and the regulations thereunder), any such determination in excess of one times such per share book value shall be subject to such Bank Employee’s prior waiver in a form reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser that complies with the shareholder approval requirements of Section 280G(2)(B) of the Code and the regulations thereunder of all “parachute payments” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and the regulations thereunder) payable to such Bank Employee to the extent that such parachute payments exceed three times such Bank Employee’s “base amount” (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code and the regulations thereunder) less $25,000 (assuming that no portion of any payment to be received such Bank Employee would be viewed as “reasonable compensation for personal services” within the meaning of Section 280G and the regulations thereunder).

(g) From time to time following Closing, ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇ REIT shall pay to Purchaser, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the CIC Share Amount within 10 Business Days of any payment giving rise to a CIC Share Amount.

7.4. Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance.

(a) From and after the Closing, the Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Bank to, (as applicable, the “D&O Indemnifying Party”) indemnify, defend and hold harmless each person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date hereof or who becomes prior to the Closing, an officer, director, employee or agent of the Bank or any of its Subsidiaries (the “D&O Indemnified Parties”) against all losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses), liabilities or judgments or amounts that are paid in settlement with the approval of the D&O Indemnifying Party (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) of or in connection with any threatened or actual claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, based in whole or in part on or arising in whole or in part out of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Bank whether pertaining to any matter existing or occurring at or prior to the Closing or any acts or omissions occurring or existing at or prior to the Closing and whether asserted or claimed prior to, or at or after, the Closing (“Indemnified Liabilities”). Furthermore, the current provisions in the Bank’s respective federal charter and bylaws with respect to exculpation of director and officer liability and indemnification shall not be amended following the Closing if such amendment would materially and adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who at any time prior to the Closing were directors, officers, employees or agents of the Bank in respect of actions or omissions occurring at or prior to the Closing.

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, a D&O Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification hereunder shall include the right to be paid expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition to the maximum extent permitted under applicable Law. If a claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses hereunder is not paid in full within sixty (60) days after a written claim has been received by the D&O Indemnifying Party, the D&O Indemnified Party may at any time thereafter bring suit against the D&O Indemnifying Party to recover the unpaid amount of the claim, and if successful in whole or in part, the D&O Indemnified Party shall also be entitled to be paid the expenses of prosecuting such claim.

(c) For a period of six years after the Closing, the Purchaser and its Affiliates shall cause to be maintained in effect the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Bank; provided, (i) that in no event shall Purchaser be required to expend per year of coverage more than 250% of the annual premium as of the date of this Agreement; and (ii) that the Purchaser may substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions which are no less advantageous to the D&O Indemnified Parties with respect to matters arising before and acts or omissions occurring or existing at or prior to the Closing. From the date hereof until the Closing, Sellers agree to keep the Bank’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, financial institution bond, and bankers’ professional liability insurance in full force and effect, without lapse, and with pending or prior acts exclusion dates no later than those in the policies in effect on October 30, 2008.

(d) The provisions of this Section 7.4 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each D&O Indemnified Party, his or her heirs and his or her personal representatives and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of the Purchaser and the Bank.

(e) In the event the Purchaser, the Bank or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person, then, and in either such case, to the extent not otherwise occurring by operation of Law, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Purchaser or the Bank, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.4. The agreements and covenants contained herein shall not be deemed to be exclusive of any other rights to which any Indemnified Party is entitled, whether pursuant to Law, contract or otherwise.

7.5. Advice of Changes. The Purchaser and the Bank shall promptly advise the other of any change or event which, individually or in the aggregate with other such changes or events, has or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on it or which it believes would or would be reasonably likely to cause or constitute a material breach of any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained herein; provided, however, that any noncompliance with the foregoing shall not constitute the failure to be satisfied of a condition set forth in Article IX or give rise to any right of termination under Article X unless the underlying breach shall independently constitute such a failure or give rise to such a right.

7.6. Further Assurances.

(a) Additional Actions. In addition to the actions specifically provided for elsewhere in this Agreement, each party shall, and shall cause each of its respective Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts, prior to, at and after Closing to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary or advisable under applicable laws, regulations and agreements to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other agreements contemplated hereunder; provided, however, that neither the Sellers nor the Purchaser (nor any of their respective Subsidiaries) shall be obligated under this Section 7.6 to pay any consideration, grant any concession or incur any additional liability to any third party other than ordinary and customary fees paid to a Governmental Authority.

(b) Cooperation. Without limiting the foregoing, prior to, at and after the Closing Date, each party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, cooperate with the other parties without any further consideration to execute and deliver, or use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be executed and delivered, all Conveyance and Assumption Instruments and to make all filings with, and to obtain all consents of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person under any permit, license, agreement, indenture or other instrument (including any consents), and to take all such other actions as such Party may reasonably be requested to take by the other Party from time to time, consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the other agreements contemplated hereunder, in order to effectuate the provisions and purposes of this Agreement and the transfer of the Asset Management Businesses and the other agreements contemplated hereunder and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

(c) Misallocations. In the event that at any time or from time to time (whether prior to, on or after Closing), a party or any of its Subsidiaries shall receive or otherwise possess any asset or bear any expense that is allocated to any other Person pursuant to this Agreement or any other agreements contemplated hereunder, such party shall promptly transfer or reimburse, as applicable, or cause its Subsidiary to transfer, or reimburse as applicable, such asset or expense to the Person so entitled thereto or such party’s Subsidiary or designee.

7.7. Transition Services.

(a) After the date hereof, the Purchaser and the Sellers shall cooperate in good faith to promptly determine whether a transition services agreement is necessary for the operation of the respective businesses of the Bank, the Bank’s Subsidiaries, any Seller or any Subsidiary of a Seller following the Closing and, if the parties determine that such an agreement is necessary, the parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to enter into, and cause their appropriate Subsidiaries to enter into, such an agreement (on terms reasonably acceptable to both parties), which such agreement shall become effective on the Closing Date.

(b) To facilitate an orderly separation and transition of (i) the Excluded Assets from the business of the Bank and its Subsidiaries and (ii) the business of the Bank and its Subsidiaries from the business of ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇ REIT, each of ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇ REIT, Derwood and the Purchaser has designated two key transition contacts in Section 7.7 of the Bank Disclosure

Schedule, who shall be primarily responsible for cooperation and coordination among the parties regarding the matters contemplated by this Agreement and the other agreements contemplated hereunder. ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the Purchaser shall cause their respective key transition contacts to meet with their counterparts to establish procedures for such cooperation and coordination within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date. The key transition contacts shall designate such other contacts in specific functional areas as they agree from time to time are necessary or appropriate. The key transition contacts and such other contacts may be removed or replaced at any time by the Party (or key transition contacts) who designated them pursuant to this Section 7.7.

7.8. Covenants Regarding Tax Matters.

(a) The Purchaser agrees that it will not, and will not cause or permit the Bank or the Bank’s Subsidiaries to take any action on the Closing Date after the Closing that would reasonably be expected to give rise to any Tax liability of the Sellers in respect of any Tax period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the close of business on the Closing Date (the “Pre- Closing Tax Periods”). The Purchaser agrees that the Sellers are to have no liability for any Tax resulting from any action referred to in the preceding sentence by the Purchaser or any Affiliate of the Purchaser, and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Sellers and their Affiliates against any such Tax.

(b) The Sellers shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Tax returns for the Bank and the Bank’s Subsidiaries for all periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date that are filed after the Closing Date (the “Short Tax Period”). With respect to the Short Tax Period, (i) the Bank and the Bank’s Subsidiaries shall close their books as of the end of the Short Tax Period and compute taxable income or taxable loss for the Short Tax Period on the basis of the permanent books and records (including work papers) of the Bank and the Bank’s Subsidiaries for such periods, (ii) the Sellers shall prepare the necessary Tax Returns, in accordance with the requirements of the Code and in a manner consistent with the Tax Returns previously filed by the Bank and the Bank’s Subsidiaries, and provide such information to the Purchaser for review and approval, (iii) such Tax Returns shall be filed by the Sellers by the due date of such returns (taking into account any extensions), but only after review and approval by Purchaser (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and (iv) the Sellers shall pay the federal and any applicable state income tax attributable to the Bank’s and the Bank’s Subsidiaries’ taxable income for the Short Tax Period for which such Sellers would be liable, and shall also pay any entity-level Tax liability of the Bank and the Bank’s Subsidiaries for such Short Tax Period. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Sellers shall include any income, gain, loss, deduction or other tax items for such periods on their Tax returns in a manner consistent with the Code; provided, however that the Purchaser agrees that it will not refuse to approve, or otherwise object to, Seller’s ▇▇▇▇-to-market adjustment on the $1.2 billion portion of the option ARM mortgage portfolio (identified as the option ARMs included in Schedule 4.9(m) of the Bank Disclosure Schedule) (the “MTM Option ARMs”) for the Pre-Closing Tax Periods.

(c) If the consolidated group of which the Bank is a member for any Pre- Closing Tax Period recognizes a loss in excess of $120 million as a result of a ▇▇▇▇-to-market adjustment to the MTM Option ARMs and such loss results in a refund or credit to, or a reduction in Taxes otherwise payable by, such consolidated group or such loss otherwise used to

offset U.S. federal taxable income of such group (including in connection with a subsequent audit) (a “Utilized ▇▇▇▇-to-Market Loss”), then the Sellers shall make a payment in the amount of the Tax benefit attributable to such Utilized ▇▇▇▇-to-Market Loss to the Purchaser within 30 days of the date upon which the Utilized Market-Market Loss is otherwise definitely established and accepted by the relevant Tax Authority. It is understood that the Sellers and the Bank may elect for any Pre-Closing Period to waive any carryback and only carryforward such losses. In addition, to the extent that such losses are available to the Bank or the Purchaser for post-Closing years (without regard to any limitation on the use of such losses by the Bank or the Purchaser), such losses will not be considered Utilized ▇▇▇▇-to-Market Losses and no payment will be required under this or any other section.

(d) The Purchaser and the Sellers shall furnish or cause to be furnished to each other, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information (including access to books and records) and assistance relating to the Bank and the Bank’s Subsidiaries as is reasonably necessary for the preparation and filing of any Tax return, for determining whether any payment is due to the Purchaser or the Bank pursuant to Section 7.8(c) hereof, for the preparation for any audit and for the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or proceeding relating to any proposed adjustment. The Purchaser and the Sellers agree to retain or cause to be retained all books and records pertinent to the Bank and the Bank’s Subsidiaries until the applicable period for assessment under applicable law (giving effect to any and all extensions or waivers) has expired, and to abide by or cause the abidance with all record retention agreements entered into with any Tax Authority. The Purchaser agrees to give or cause its Affiliates to give the Sellers reasonable notice prior to transferring, discarding or destroying any such books and records relating to Tax matters and, if the Sellers so request, the Purchaser shall allow or cause its Affiliates to allow the Sellers, at the Sellers’ cost and expense, to take possession of such books and records. The Purchaser and the Sellers shall cooperate with each other in the conduct of an audit, filing of Tax Returns or other proceedings involving the Bank or any of the Bank’s Subsidiaries for any Tax purposes and each shall execute and deliver such powers of attorney and other documents as are necessary to carry out the intent of this subsection.

(e) If any Tax Authority notifies the Sellers, the Purchaser, the Bank, or any of the Bank’s Subsidiaries of its intention to conduct an audit of the Bank or any of the Bank’s Subsidiaries with respect to any Tax Return filed by the Bank, any of the Bank’s Subsidiaries, or the Sellers or allegedly required to be filed by the Bank or any of the Bank’s Subsidiaries that relates or could reasonably be expected to relate to obligations of the Bank, any of the Bank’s Subsidiaries or the Sellers to pay Taxes associated with any Tax Period or to prosecute any claim, suit or proceeding relating to any proposed adjustment with respect to the Tax Period which, if successful, might result in an indemnity payment pursuant to Section 11.2(a)(iv), the party hereto first receiving such notice shall notify the Purchaser, the Sellers’ representative, and/or the Bank (as appropriate) in writing of such claim (a “Tax Claim”) within ten (10) days of receipt of any written notice from the Tax Authority, and shall give the Purchaser, the Sellers’ representative, and/or the Bank such other information with respect thereto as may be reasonably requested. With respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Claim, the Purchasers’ representative may, at its own expense, participate in, but not control, the defense of any such claim, suit, action, litigation or proceeding (including any Tax audit). The Sellers shall not settle or otherwise compromise any Tax Claim relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period that affects the Bank, any of the Bank’s Subsidiaries, or the Purchaser without the Purchasers’ representative’s prior written consent

which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. With respect to any Post-Closing Tax Claim, the Sellers’ representative may, at its own expense, participate in, but not control, the defense of any such claim, suit, action, litigation or proceeding (including any Tax audit). The Purchaser, Bank or Bank’s Subsidiaries shall not settle or otherwise compromise any Tax Claim relating to a Post-Closing Tax Period that affects the Sellers, Bank, any of the Bank’s Subsidiaries without the Sellers’ representative’s prior written consent which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(f) Pursuant to Section 2.7, all transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) (“Transfer Taxes”) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the Purchaser when due (up to a maximum of $7 million), and any amount in excess thereof shall be borne and paid by the Sellers. The Purchaser shall file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes and fees (the expense of which shall be borne and paid by the Purchaser to the extent that such expense, together with any Transfer Taxes for which the Purchaser is responsible pursuant to this Agreement, does not exceed a maximum of $7 million, with any amounts in excess thereof to be borne and paid by the Sellers), and, if required by applicable Law, the Sellers shall join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.

(g) To the extent permitted by Law, the Sellers, the Purchaser, the Bank, and the Bank’s Subsidiaries, as applicable, shall close each taxable period of the Bank and the Bank’s Subsidiaries as of the close of the Closing Date. In the case of any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), the amount of any income or gross receipts, Taxes of the Bank or the Bank’s Subsidiaries for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date. Real, personal and intangible property Taxes (“Property Taxes”) of the Bank or the Bank’s Subsidiaries allocable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be equal to the amount of such Property Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the Straddle Period that are in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the denominator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period.

7.9. Distribution of Other Excluded Assets.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, but subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11, on or prior to the Closing Date, the Sellers shall cause the Bank to dividend, distribute, sell, convey or otherwise transfer the Excluded Assets (including any cash or other property received from the proceeds of the sale or transfer of any of the Excluded Assets), in each case as the Bank and the Sellers shall agree following the date hereof, following prior consultation with Purchaser. Prior to Closing, the Sellers shall provide the Purchaser with a schedule describing the recipient (which shall in any event be one or more Sellers) of each Excluded Asset, the manner in which each Excluded Asset was transferred and the material economic terms associated with such transfer.

(b) All such dividends and distributions shall be in compliance with Section 2.7. To the extent any assets to be distributed pursuant to Sections 7.9, 7.10, and 7.11 are owned by a Subsidiary of the Bank, prior to the dividend or distribution, the Bank shall cause any such Subsidiary to distribute the assets to be included in such dividend to the Bank.

(c) Notwithstanding anything set forth herein, following the date hereof the parties shall cooperate and use reasonable efforts to facilitate the transfer to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ of the Asset Management Businesses at or prior to Closing, even if any of the ASB Capital Required Consents or the Chevy Chase Trust Required Consents, as applicable, have not been obtained as of such date, through entry into a servicing or agent arrangement under which Purchaser will continue to service certain client relationships on a basis consistent with the provisions set forth in Section 7.10 or Section 7.11, as applicable. Such arrangement shall be entered into only if permitted by applicable Law and the contracts or arrangements governing such client relationships, and only if otherwise agreed to by the parties hereto.

7.10. Distribution of Chevy Chase Trust. If the Bank and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ have not received the Chevy Chase Trust Required Consents by the Closing Date, the Chevy Chase Trust Shares shall not be distributed as set forth in Section 7.9(a) and the following provisions shall apply;

(a) On the Closing Date, the parties will cause the Bank to issue to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (i) a dividend consisting of the non-fiduciary portions of the business of Chevy Chase Trust as determined in good faith by Sellers and Purchaser provided that no such dividend will be required if Sellers determine that such action would materially harm Chevy Chase Trust and its existing client relationships, or if either party hereto determines that such dividend would otherwise be unduly burdensome, and (ii) a convertible note having the terms set forth in this Section 7.10(a) and otherwise in a form reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (the “Chevy Chase Trust Note”). The Chevy Chase Trust Note will be non-recourse to the Bank and secured solely by the Chevy Chase Trust Shares. On the date (the “Chevy Chase Trust Distribution Date”) as of which the Bank and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ have received the Chevy Chase Trust Required Consents, the aggregate principal amount of the Chevy Chase Trust Note will be automatically converted into the Chevy Chase Trust Shares. If the Chevy Chase Trust Required Consents are not obtained by the date which is 120 days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall have the option to purchase the Chevy Chase Trust Note for a price equal to the tangible book value of the underlying Chevy Chase Trust Shares and upon such purchase the aggregate principal amount of the Chevy Chase Trust Note will be automatically converted into the Chevy Chase Trust Shares. No interest will be payable on the Chevy Chase Trust Note.

(b) ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, the other Sellers and the Purchaser will use their reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, in good faith, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or desirable, or advisable under applicable Laws, so as to obtain the Chevy Chase Trust Required Consents (or, if applicable, to sell the Chevy Chase Trust Note or the Chevy Chase Trust Shares to a third party) as promptly as practicable, and each will cooperate fully with, and furnish information to, the other party to that end.

(c) At or prior to the Closing, either or both of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇. will resign as directors of Chevy Chase Trust.

(d) Until the earlier of (I) 120 days after the Closing Date or (II) the Chevy Chase Trust Distribution Date, Purchaser covenants that, without prior written consent from ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and/or without the concurrence or ratification of the Board of Directors of Chevy Chase Trust to do otherwise, which consent, concurrence or ratification, as applicable, will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, Purchaser will and will cause the Bank and its Subsidiaries to:

(i) ensure that ▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, and ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ remain members of the Board of Directors of Chevy Chase Trust, as it exists on the date hereof; provided that, if any of the individuals named in the foregoing clause shall resign or be removed for cause, or be unable to serve by reason of death or disability, as a director of Chevy Chase Trust, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall, within thirty (30) days of such event, notify Purchaser and the Bank in writing of a replacement, and the Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Bank to, take such steps as may be necessary to elect such qualified replacement (who shall be reasonably acceptable to Purchaser) to fill the unexpired term of such director;

(ii) operate and conduct the business of Chevy Chase Trust in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice as a separate, standalone business; and

(iii) cause the books, records and accounts of Chevy Chase Trust to be maintained in a manner as will allow for (A) the segregation, identification and accounting for assets, revenues and expenses of Chevy Chase Trust in a manner that is in conformance with GAAP and on a basis consistent with the historical practices of Chevy Chase Trust prior to the Closing and (B) the distribution to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (through its acquisition of the Chevy Chase Trust Shares), as of the Chevy Chase Trust Distribution Date (if such date occurs), of all current assets of Chevy Chase Trust, including all cash, cash equivalents and receivables associated with the operations of Chevy Chase Trust prior to the Chevy Chase Trust Distribution Date, net of any applicable Taxes and previously unreimbursed expenses to Purchaser associated with Chevy Chase Trust.

(e) Without limiting the generality of Section 7.10(d), until the earlier of (I) 120 days after the Closing Date or (II) the Chevy Chase Trust Distribution Date, without prior written consent from ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and/or without the concurrence or ratification of the Board of Directors of Chevy Chase Trust, which consent, concurrence or ratification, as applicable, will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, Purchaser will not (and will cause the Bank not to) cause or permit Chevy Chase Trust to:

(i) take any action that is intended or would reasonably be expected to result in (A) any of the consents or approvals necessary to distribute the Chevy Chase Trust Shares to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ as contemplated in Section 9.1 or 9.3 not being obtained or (B) the Bank not distributing the Chevy Chase Trust Shares to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ for any other reason;

(ii) enter into any transaction with Affiliates unless such arrangement: (1) is on market terms; or (2) is on terms no less favorable to Chevy Chase Trust than those obtainable from a party who is not an Affiliate of Purchaser;

(iv) (A) set any record or payment dates for the payment of any dividends or distributions on their capital stock or other equity interest or make, (B) declare or pay any dividend or make any other distribution on, or directly or indirectly redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire, any shares of their capital stock or other equity interest or any securities or obligations convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any shares of their capital stock or other equity interest or stock appreciation rights or grant any person any right to acquire any shares of their capital stock or other equity interest, other than as contemplated by Section 7.9 or 7.10 of this Agreement or (C) issue or commit to issue any additional shares of capital stock or other equity interest, or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or any rights, warrants or options to acquire, any additional shares of capital stock or other equity interest (in the case of clauses (A) and (B), other than any dividend in an amount not to exceed any Taxes of or attributable to Chevy Chase Trust for which the Purchaser may be liable);

(v) enter into any new line of business or change their material investment, risk and asset liability management and other material operating policies in any material respect, except as required by Law or by policies imposed by a Governmental Authority;

(vi) sell, transfer, mortgage, encumber or otherwise dispose of any of their material rights, assets or properties, except (A) sales of investment securities in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, (B) as expressly required by the terms of any contracts or agreements in force at the date of this Agreement or (C) pledges of assets to secure public deposits accepted in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice;

(vii) make any acquisition of or investment in any other Person, by purchase or other acquisition of stock or other equity interests (other than in a fiduciary capacity in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice), or by merger, consolidation, asset purchase or other business combination;

(viii) except as required by Law (A) loan or advance any money or other property to, or sell, transfer or lease any properties, rights or assets to, any employees; (ii) establish, adopt, enter into, amend, terminate or grant any waiver or consent under any plan, agreement, program, policy, trust, fund or other arrangement that would be a plan if it were in existence as of the date of this Agreement; (iii) grant any equity or equity-based awards; or (iv) effectuate any layoffs of employees;

(xiii) make any material changes in their methods, practices or policies of financial or Tax accounting, except as may be required under Law or GAAP, in each case in consultation with the Bank’s independent public accountants;

(xiv) take any action that would result in Chevy Chase Trust ceasing to qualify as an operating subsidiary of the Bank under applicable OTS regulations; or

(xv) agree to, or make any commitment to, take any of the actions prohibited by this Section 7.10(e).

(f) Notwithstanding anything set forth herein, following the Closing Date Purchaser shall be permitted to take any actions with respect to Chevy Chase Trust it deems reasonably necessary to (i) comply with applicable Law or regulation or contractual obligations, (ii) maintain its regulatory status and standing, or (iii) avoid damage to its reputation or standing in the community, or the incurrence of any liabilities. To the extent practicable under the circumstances, and in any event to the extent any such action is materially inconsistent with the provisions of Sections 7.10(d) or (e), Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts to inform ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ prior to taking such action.

(g) The parties hereto shall work together in good faith and shall use their reasonable best efforts to provide that Chevy Chase Trust shall not be included in the consolidated group of the Purchaser for U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes.

(a) On the Closing Date, the parties will cause the Bank to issue to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or its designee a convertible note having the terms set forth in this Section 7.11(a) and otherwise in a form reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (the “ASB Capital Note”). The ASB Capital Note will be non-recourse to the Bank and secured solely by the ASB Capital Membership Interests. On the date (the “ASB Capital Distribution Date”) as of which the Bank and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ have received the ASB Capital Required Consents, the aggregate principal amount of the ASB Capital Note will be automatically converted into the ASB Capital Membership Interests.

7.15. Headquarters Loan. Purchaser agrees to negotiate in good faith on an arms length basis with respect to a potential loan to ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇ REIT (the “Headquarters Loan”) on the building located at ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ based on the terms set forth on Exhibit D.

7.19. Bank Charitable Commitments. Section 7.19 of the Bank Disclosure Schedule describes certain charitable contributions, pledges and commitments made by the Bank or its Subsidiaries prior to the date hereof. The Purchaser agrees that, following the Closing Date, it will cause the Bank to honor such charitable pledges and commitments as provided in Section 7.19 of the Bank Disclosure Schedule.

7.20. Non-Competition.

(a) For a period of three years following the Closing Date, ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ and each Seller agrees not to, and shall cause their respective controlled Affiliates (including the Asset Management Businesses) and their and such Affiliates’ officers, employees, agents and representatives (in their capacity as such) not to, directly or indirectly:

(ii) solicit (or direct others to solicit) any customer of the Bank or its Subsidiaries (A) in respect of any services or products of the type that are provided by a Competing Business or (B) to withdraw from or not to purchase any of the products or services provided by the Bank and its Subsidiaries, other than in each case (x) conducting general solicitations to provide products and services of the type currently provided by the Asset Management Businesses (and any logical extensions or enhancements of such asset management services) that is not specifically targeted to any customer of the Bank and its Subsidiaries or any group of such customers or (y) continuing to provide services to current customers of the Asset Management Businesses of the type provided within the Asset Management Businesses as of the date hereof (and any logical extensions or enhancements of such asset management services) to such customers;

(iii) (A) contact, approach or solicit for the purpose of offering employment to or hiring or retaining, or hire or retain, any person who is employed by the Bank or its Subsidiaries (other than any individual set forth on Section 7.20 of the Bank Disclosure Schedule, provided that the relevant party makes such individual available to provide transition services to Purchaser for at least one year following the Closing Date but not beyond the period for which such person remains an employee of ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇, the Sellers or their controlled Affiliates) as of the date hereof or as of the Closing Date; provided, however, that the foregoing will not be deemed to prohibit (I) general solicitations not targeted at such individuals (including job announcements in newspapers and industry publications or on the Internet) or from hiring any individual who responds to such a general solicitation or (II) from soliciting or hiring any individual who has left the employment of the Bank or its Subsidiaries at least six months prior to such solicitation or hire.

(b) It is the intent of the parties to this agreement that the provisions of this Section 7.20 shall be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. If any particular provision or portion of this Section 7.20 shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision or portion thereof shall be deemed amended to the minimum extent necessary to render such provision or portion valid and enforceable, such amendment to apply only with respect to the operation of such provision or portion in the particular jurisdiction in which such adjudication is made.

(c) ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ and each Seller agrees to use, and to cause the Asset Management Businesses to use, commercially reasonable efforts to encourage customers of the Asset Management Businesses with commercial banking relationships with the Bank to maintain such relationships from and after the Closing with the Bank and its successors.

ARTICLE VIII

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

8.1. Shelf Registration.

(a) As of the first trading day following the Closing but subject to delay for any Scheduled Black-Out Period (such date the “Relevant Date”), the Purchaser shall file with the SEC either (i) a new “shelf” registration statement or (ii) pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, a prospectus supplement that shall be deemed to be part of an existing “shelf” registration statement in accordance with Rule 430B under the Securities Act, in each case covering the resale of all Registrable Securities. The Registration Statement shall be an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the Purchaser’s representation that the Registration Statement shall be an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement, and without relieving the Purchaser of any liability it should have for such breach of such representation, if the Registration Statement is not automatically effective upon filing, the Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective as soon as possible after filing. The Purchaser shall ensure that each Registration Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto and Prospectuses contained therein) shall 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 therein (in the case of Prospectuses, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made) not misleading, except with respect to any information provided by a Seller furnished in writing to the Purchaser by such Seller expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such Seller or such Seller’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Seller expressly for use in the Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto.

(b) The Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until the earlier of (i) the date that all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold or (ii) the six month anniversary of the Relevant Date (the “Effectiveness Period”).

(c) Upon the occurrence of any Event and on every monthly anniversary thereof until the applicable Event is cured, as partial relief for the damages suffered therefrom by the Sellers (which remedy shall not be exclusive of any other remedies available under this Agreement, at law or in equity), the Purchaser shall pay to each Seller an amount in cash, as

liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 0.5% of the aggregate dollar value of the Stock Consideration received by each Seller for the first month, increasing thereafter by a rate of 0.5% during each successive monthly period (or portion thereof) during which an Event remains uncured; provided, however, that liquidated damages shall not in any event exceed 5.0% of the dollar value of the Stock Consideration received by each Seller. The payments to which a Seller shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 8.1(c) are referred to herein as “Event Payments.” Any Event Payments payable pursuant to the terms hereof shall apply on a pro rata basis for any portion of a month prior to the cure of an Event, and any such Event Payments shall be due and payable monthly on or before the 10th Business Day following the earlier to occur of either (i) the cure of an Event or (ii) the monthly anniversary of the Event (and each monthly anniversary thereafter until the cure of the Event) (an “Event Payment Date”). In the event the Purchaser fails to make Event Payments by the Event Payment Date, such Event Payments shall bear interest at the rate of 1.0% per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full.

For such purposes, each of the following shall constitute an “Event”:

(i) after the Effective Date, a Seller is not permitted to sell Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement (or a subsequent Registration Statement filed in replacement thereof) for any reason (other than an objection from Sellers as contemplated under Section 8.2(a)) for a period of at least five (5) consecutive Trading Days, provided, that such an Event shall be deemed “cured” for purposes of this Section 8.1(c) upon the termination of such period;

(ii) the Purchaser Common Shares are not listed or quoted, or suspended from trading, on the Trading Market for a period of at least three (3) consecutive Trading Days at any time during the first twelve (12) months after the Effective Date, provided, that such an Event shall be deemed “cured” for purposes of this Section 8.1(c) upon the termination of such period; or

(iii) the Purchaser fails for any reason (other than an objection from Sellers as contemplated under Section 8.2(a)) to file the Registration Statement pursuant to Section 8.1(a) or such Registration Statement does not become effective within five (5) Business Days following the Relevant Date.

8.2. Registration Procedures. In connection with the Purchaser’s registration obligations hereunder, the Purchaser shall:

(a) Not less than three (3) Trading Days prior to the filing of a Registration Statement or any related Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto (including any document that would be incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference (other than any documents containing material non-public information)), the Purchaser shall (i) furnish to each Seller and any counsel designated by such Seller (each, a “Seller Counsel”) copies of all such documents proposed to be filed and (ii) cause its officers and directors, counsel and independent certified public accountants to respond to such inquiries as shall be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of each Seller Counsel, to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act. The Purchaser shall not file a Registration Statement or any such Prospectus or any amendments or supplements (other than periodic reports required under the Exchange Act) thereto to which Sellers holding a majority of the Registrable Securities shall reasonably object in writing within two (2) Trading Days of receipt.

(b) (i) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments, including post- effective amendments, to each Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective as to the applicable Registrable Securities for the Effectiveness Period and prepare and file with the SEC such additional Registration Statements in order to register for resale under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities; (ii) cause the related Prospectus to be amended or supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented or amended to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act; (iii) if the Registration Statement is not an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement, respond as promptly as possible to any comments received from the SEC with respect to the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto and as promptly as possible provide each Seller true and complete copies of all correspondence from and to the SEC relating to the Registration Statement; and (iv) comply in all material respects with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the Sellers thereof set forth in the Registration Statement as so amended or in such Prospectus as so supplemented.

(c) Notify the Sellers and each Seller Counsel as promptly as possible, and (if requested by any such Person) confirm such notice in writing no later than one Trading Day thereafter, of any of the following events: (i) the SEC notifies the Purchaser whether there will be a “review” of any Registration Statement that is not an Automatic Shelf Registration; (ii) the SEC comments in writing on any Registration Statement that is not an Automatic Shelf Registration (in which case the Purchaser shall deliver to each Seller a copy of such comments and of all written responses thereto); (iii) any Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment is declared effective (to the extent Rule 462(e) under the Securities Act is inapplicable); (iv) the SEC or any other Governmental Authority requests any amendment or supplement to any Registration Statement or Prospectus or requests additional information related thereto; (v) the SEC issues any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or initiates any Proceedings for that purpose; (vi) the Purchaser receives notice of any suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threat of any Proceeding for such purpose; or (vii) the financial statements included in any Registration Statement become ineligible for inclusion therein or any statement made in any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference is untrue in any material respect or any revision to a Registration Statement, Prospectus or other document is required so that it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading.

(d) Use its reasonable best efforts to avoid the issuance of or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, as soon as possible.

(e) Furnish to each Seller and Seller Counsel, without charge, at least one conformed copy of each Registration Statement and each amendment thereto, and all exhibits to the extent requested by such Person (including those previously furnished or incorporated by reference) promptly after the filing of such documents with the SEC.

(f) Promptly deliver to each Seller and Seller Counsel, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus or Prospectuses (including each form of prospectus) and each amendment or supplement thereto as such Persons may reasonably request. The Purchaser hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the Sellers in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto to the extent permitted by federal and state securities laws and regulations.

(g) Prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the Sellers and each Seller Counsel in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from such registration or qualification) of such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any Seller reasonably requests in writing, to keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the Effectiveness Period and to do any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Purchaser shall not be obligated to file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified or to subject itself to taxation in respect of doing business in any jurisdiction in which it is not otherwise so subject.

(h) Cooperate with the Sellers to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities (if such shares are certificated) to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to a Registration Statement, which certificates shall be free of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as any such Sellers may request.

(i) With respect to any event that would cause the Registration Statement not to be continuously effective as required by Section 8.1(b), including for any event described in Section 8.2(c)(vii), as promptly as possible, prepare a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective amendment, to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered, neither the Registration Statement nor such Prospectus will contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading.

(j) Cooperate with any reasonable due diligence investigation undertaken by the Sellers in connection with the sale of Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, by making available any documents and information reasonably requested; provided, that the Purchaser will not deliver or make available to any Seller material, nonpublic information unless

such Seller specifically requests in advance to receive material, nonpublic information in writing and, if requested by the Purchaser, such Seller agrees in writing satisfactory to Purchaser to treat such information confidentially.

(k) Comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC in all material respects.

8.3. Registration Expenses. The Purchaser shall pay all fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with Article VIII of this Agreement including, without limitation (a) all registration and filing fees and expenses, including without limitation those related to filings with the SEC, any Trading Market and in connection with applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws (including counsel fees in connection with the preparation of a blue sky memorandum), (b) printing expenses (including without limitation expenses of printing certificates for Registrable Securities and of printing Prospectuses requested by the Sellers), (c) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses incurred by the Purchaser, (d) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Purchaser, (e) fees and expenses of all other Persons retained by the Purchaser in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (f) all listing fees to be paid by the Purchaser to the Trading Market.

8.4. Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification by the Purchaser. The Purchaser shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless each Seller, the officers, directors, partners, members, agents, and employees of each of them, each Person who controls any such Seller (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, partners, members, agents, investment advisors and employees of each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all Losses, as incurred, arising out of or relating to any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary Prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that (i) such untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based solely upon information regarding such Seller furnished in writing to the Purchaser by such Seller expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such Seller or such Seller’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Seller expressly for use in the Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (ii) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 8.2(c)(v)-(vii), the use by such Seller of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Purchaser has notified such Seller in writing that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by such Seller of the Advice contemplated in Section 8.5. The Purchaser shall notify the Sellers promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any Proceeding of which the Purchaser is aware in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) Indemnification by the Sellers. Each Seller shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser, its directors, officers, agents and employees, each Person who controls the Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses arising solely out of any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary Prospectus, or arising solely out of any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission is based solely upon information regarding such Seller furnished in writing to the Purchaser by such Seller expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such Seller or such Seller’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Seller expressly for use in the Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (ii) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 8.2(c)(v)- (vii), the use by such Seller of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Purchaser has notified such Seller in writing that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by such Seller of the Advice contemplated in Section 8.5. In no event shall the liability of any Seller hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds in respect of the sale by such Seller of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity under this Article VIII (a “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have proximately and materially adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (i) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; or (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (iii) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying

Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party). It being understood, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any one such Proceeding be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all Indemnified Parties, which firm shall be appointed by a majority of the Indemnified Parties. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.

All fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten (10) Trading Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party; provided, that the Indemnifying Party may require such Indemnified Party to undertake to reimburse all such fees and expenses to the extent it is finally judicially determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder.

(d) Contribution. If a claim for indemnification under Section 8.4(a) or (b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party (by reason of public policy or otherwise), then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.4(c), any reasonable attorneys’ or other reasonable fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section was available to such party in accordance with its terms.

The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8.4(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8.4(d), no Seller shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the dollar amount of the net proceeds for which the Registrable Securities were sold by such Seller. 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.

The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties.

8.5. Dispositions. Each Seller agrees that, upon receipt of a notice from the Purchaser of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 8.2(c)(v) - (vii), such Seller will discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement until such Seller’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented Prospectus and/or amended Registration Statement contemplated by Section 8.2(i), or until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the Purchaser that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and, in either case, has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus or Registration Statement.

(ii) any and all Losses incurred by them after Closing arising out of the businesses, operations and activities of the Bank and its Subsidiaries from and after the Closing, except to the extent (A) related to any of the Excluded Assets (including but not limited to the Asset Management Businesses) and any actions under Sections 7.10, 7.11 or 7.18 hereof, (B) subject to indemnification by the Sellers hereunder, (C) arising out of or related to the breach by Sellers of their agreements, covenants and obligations set forth in the Agreement or the agreements of Sellers contemplated hereby, or (D) otherwise addressed under Section 7.4 or Section 8.4(a) hereof; and

(iii) any and all Losses incurred by them as a result of the breach of any covenant or other agreement on the part of Purchaser under this Agreement.

11.3. Indemnification Procedures.

(a) If any Proceeding shall be instituted or any claim or demand shall be asserted by any Person or any other matter shall arise in respect of which payment may be sought under Section 11.2 hereof (regardless of the limitations set forth in Section 11.4) (“Indemnification Claim”), the indemnified party shall promptly cause written notice of the assertion of any Indemnification Claim of which it has knowledge which is covered by this indemnity to be forwarded to the indemnifying party. The indemnifying party shall have the right, at its sole expense, to assume the defense of any Proceeding or other claim or demand brought by an unaffiliated third party (a “Third Party Claim”) with counsel of its choice, which must be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, and to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Indemnification Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified against hereunder; provided, that the indemnifying party shall have acknowledged in writing to the indemnified party its unqualified obligation to indemnify the indemnified party as provided hereunder (other than any qualification arising under the limitations of Section 11.4). If the indemnifying party elects to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Third Party Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified by it hereunder, it shall as promptly as practicable (and in any event within fifteen (15) days (or sooner, if the nature of the Indemnification Claim so requires)) following notice in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 11.3 notify the indemnified party of its intent to do so. If the indemnifying party elects not to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Third Party Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified against hereunder, fails to notify the indemnified party of its election as herein provided, contests its obligations to indemnify the indemnified party for such Losses under this Agreement (other than as set forth in the parenthetical to the proviso in the second sentence of this Section 11.3(a)), the indemnified party may defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with such Third Party Claim, provided that the indemnified party shall keep the indemnifying party reasonably and as promptly as practicable apprised of the status of such Third Party Claim and use reasonable efforts to allow the indemnifying party to

participate therein at its own expenses. If the indemnified party defends any Third Party Claim, then the indemnifying party shall reimburse the indemnified party for the reasonable and out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable and out-of-pocket attorneys’ and other professionals’ fees and disbursements (collectively, “Expenses”) of defending such Third Party Claim upon submission of periodic bills. If the indemnifying party shall assume the defense of any Third Party Claim, the indemnified party may participate at his or its own expense, in the defense of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that such indemnified party shall be entitled to participate in any such defense with separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party if (i) so requested by the indemnifying party to participate or (ii) counsel to the indemnified party shall have advised the indemnified party that a conflict or potential conflict exists between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party that would make such separate representation advisable, (iii) the named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both such indemnified party and the indemnifying party and such indemnified party shall have been advised in writing by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to the indemnified party, (iv) the amount of the monetary recovery is reasonably expected to exceed the amount the indemnifying party is otherwise obligated to provide indemnification for under this Agreement; and provided, further, that the indemnifying party shall not be required to pay for more than one such counsel (plus local counsel) for all indemnified parties in connection with any Third Party Claim. The parties hereto agree to cooperate fully with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such Third Party Claim. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 11.3 to the contrary, neither the indemnifying party nor the indemnified party shall, without the written consent of the other party, settle or compromise any Third Party Claim or permit a default or consent to entry of any judgment unless the claimant and such party provide to such other party an unqualified release from all liability in respect of the Third Party Claim and such settlement, compromise or judgment does not involve any non-monetary penalty or admission of fault or liability on the part of the indemnified party or its Affiliates. If the indemnifying party makes any payment on any Third Party Claim, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated, to the extent of such payment, to all rights and remedies of the indemnified party to any insurance benefits or other claims of the indemnified party with respect to such Third Party Claim.

(b) After any final decision, judgment or award shall have been rendered by a Governmental Body of competent jurisdiction finding that the indemnifying party is liable to the indemnified party for Losses hereunder, or the indemnified party and the indemnifying party shall have arrived at a mutually binding settlement or other agreement with respect to an Indemnification Claim hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be required to pay all of the sums so due and owing to the indemnified party by wire transfer of immediately available funds within five (5) Business Days after the date of such notice.

(c) The failure of the indemnified party to give reasonably prompt notice of any Indemnification Claim shall not release, waive or otherwise affect the indemnifying party’s obligations with respect thereto except to the extent that the indemnifying party can demonstrate actual loss and prejudice as a result of such failure.

11.4. Limitations on Indemnification for Breaches of Representations and Warranties.

(a) An indemnifying party shall not have any liability under Section 11.2(a)(i) or Section 11.2(b)(i) hereof (other than with respect to a result of a breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.1(a), 3.2, 4.1(a), 4.2(a), 4.6, or 4.9) unless the aggregate amount of Losses to the indemnified parties finally determined to arise thereunder exceeds $25 million (the “Basket”), in which case the indemnifying party(ies) shall be responsible for Losses only to the extent they exceed such amount.

(b) The Sellers’ aggregate obligations under Section 11.2(a)(i) shall not exceed $100 million (the “Cap”). Purchaser’s aggregate obligations under Section 11.2(b)(i) shall not exceed the Cap. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Cap shall not apply to Losses related to breach of any representation or warranty contained in Sections 3.1(a), 3.2, 4.1(a), 4.2(a), 4.6 or 4.9.

(c) For purposes of determining whether any such breach has occurred or calculating Losses hereunder, any materiality, knowledge, Material Adverse Effect or similar qualification contained in the representations and warranties shall be ignored.

11.5. Calculation of Losses.

(a) All Losses that any indemnified party is entitled to indemnification under this Article XI shall be calculated after giving effect to: (i) any proceeds actually received from insurance policies covering the damage, loss, liability or expense that is the subject to the claim for indemnity, (ii) any proceeds actually received from third parties, including through indemnification, counterclaim, reimbursement arrangement, contract or otherwise in compensation for the subject matter of an indemnification claim by such indemnified party, and (iii) any net Tax cost incurred by the indemnified party arising from the receipt of indemnity payments hereunder (grossed up for such increase) and (iv) any net Tax benefit actually realized in cash, credit or a reduction of Taxes otherwise payable in the year in which such Loss was incurred (or in a prior year) arising from the incurrence or payment of any such Loss (such arrangements referenced in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), collectively, “Alternative Arrangements”) net of any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such indemnified party in collecting such amount. In computing the amount of any such Tax benefit referred to in the foregoing sentence, the indemnified party shall be deemed to recognize all other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit before recognizing any item arising from the receipt of any indemnity payment hereunder or the incurrence or payment of any Losses. Without limiting clause (iii) or (iv), the taking of a Tax deduction in connection with any such damage, loss, liability or expense that is subject to a claim for indemnification shall be at the discretion of the indemnified party.

(b) Following the Closing, Sellers, Purchaser, the Bank and its Subsidiaries shall utilize their commercially reasonable best efforts, consistent with normal practices and policies and good commercial practice, to mitigate any amounts payable under Section 11.2, including pursuing all reasonable remedies to collect any proceeds pursuant to Alternative Arrangements covering the Loss that is the subject to the claim for indemnity (provided that the indemnified party shall not be required to institute a lawsuit in respect of any Alternative

Arrangement). If any such proceeds, benefits or recoveries are received by any of the Sellers, Purchaser, the Bank or its Subsidiaries with respect to any Losses after any of the Sellers, Purchaser, the Bank or its Subsidiaries has received proceeds in respect of such indemnification claim, such Purchaser Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party, as the case may be, shall promptly, but in any event no later than ten (10) Business Days after the receipt, realization or recovery of such proceeds, benefits or recoveries, pay to Sellers or Purchaser, as the case may be, the amount of such proceeds, benefits or recoveries.

(c) For purposes of determining whether any breach has occurred or for purposes of calculating Losses hereunder, any materiality, knowledge, Material Adverse Effect or similar qualification contained in the representations and warranties shall be ignored.

(d) No indemnified party will be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article XI with respect to any indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages, except to the extent that any such indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages are awarded to third parties.

11.6. Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments. The Sellers and the Purchaser agree to treat any indemnity payment made pursuant to this Article XI, and any payments pursuant to Section 7.3(g), as an adjustment to the Consideration for all income tax purposes.

11.7. Exclusive Remedy. Following the Closing, Section 8.4 and this Article XI shall provide the sole and exclusive remedy for any and all claims under this Agreement, except in the case of fraud or intentional breach of this Agreement or with respect to matters for which the remedy of specific performance, injunctive relief or other non-monetary equitable remedies are available.

ARTICLE XII

GENERAL PROVISIONS

Sellers holding at least 75% of the Purchased Bank Common Shares, as measured at the time of such extension or waiver); provided that any extension or waiver that would adversely affect the rights of any Seller in a manner disproportionate to any other Seller shall also require the approval of that disproportionately affected Seller; and provided further that any extension or waiver or failure to insist on strict compliance with an obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure.

12.3. Expenses. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, each party hereto shall bear its own expenses (including legal fees and expenses) with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, that the legal fees and expenses of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ as counsel to the Bank in connection with the Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the transfer of the Excluded Assets are engagements and obligations of the Bank (for the avoidance of doubt, solely to the extent accrued prior to the Closing Date).

12.4. Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by any of the parties without the prior written consent of the other parties; provided that such consent shall not be required (i) for assignments and transfers by operation of Law and (ii) in the event the Sellers assign any or all of their rights, interests and obligations hereunder to a Person with whom the Sellers merge or to whom the Sellers sell all or substantially all of their assets. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Any purported assignment not permitted under this section shall be null and void.

12.5. Entire Agreement; No Third Party Beneficiaries.

This Agreement may be executed by facsimile and in counterparts, all of which shall be considered an original and one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart.

12.9. Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of New York.

(b) Each of the Purchaser, the Sellers and the Bank hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and in the courts hearing appeals therefrom unless no basis for federal jurisdiction exists, in which event each party hereto irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, and the courts hearing appeals therefrom, for any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Each of the Purchaser, the Sellers and the Bank hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any such action, suit or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts for any reason, that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise), and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, that the action, suit or proceeding in any such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of such action, suit or proceeding is improper, or that this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts and further irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the benefit of any defense that would hinder, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or delay the levy, execution or collection of any amount to which the party is entitled pursuant to the final judgment of any court having jurisdiction. Each of the Purchaser, the Sellers and the Bank irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any and all rights to trial by jury in connection with any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

12.10. Specific Performance. Each of the Sellers and the Purchaser agree that irreparable damage would occur if any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms on a timely basis or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the Sellers and the Purchaser shall be entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any court identified in Section 12.9 above, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

12.11. Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement which is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid, illegal or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity, legality or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction, and if any provision of this Agreement is determined to be so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable, in all cases so long as neither the economic nor legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is affected in any manner materially adverse to any party or its shareholders. Upon any such determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith in an effort to agree upon a suitable and equitable substitute provision to effect the original intent of the parties.

12.12. Publicity. The Sellers and the Purchaser shall consult with each other before issuing any press release with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement without the prior consent of the other party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that a party may, without the prior consent of the other party (but after prior consultation, to the extent practicable in the circumstances) issue such press release or make such public statement as may be required by Law or the rules and regulations of the New York Stock Exchange. Without limiting the reach of the preceding sentence, the Sellers and the Purchaser shall cooperate to develop all public announcement materials and make appropriate management available at presentations related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as reasonably requested by the other party. In addition, the Purchaser and its Subsidiaries shall consult with Sellers regarding communications with customers, stockholders, prospective investors and employees related to the transactions contemplated hereby.

12.13. Construction. This Agreement and any documents or instruments delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall be construed without regard to the identity of the person who drafted the various provisions of the same. Each and every provision of this Agreement and such other documents and instruments shall be construed as though all of the parties participated equally in the drafting of the same. Consequently, the parties acknowledge and agree that any rule of construction that a document is to be construed against the drafting party shall not be applicable either to this Agreement or such other documents and instruments.
