Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, at the Closing, the Company shall issue, sell and deliver to each Investor, and each Investor shall purchase from the Company, that number of shares of Class A Common Stock set forth opposite the name of such Investor on Schedule 2.1 (the “Purchased Shares”) at the Per Share Purchase Price.

The closing of the purchase and sale of the Purchased Shares shall take place at a mutually agreeable location upon satisfaction or waiver of all conditions to closing set forth in Article V, or at such other date and time as may be agreed upon by the Investors and the Company (such closing being called the “Closing” and such date being called the “Closing Date”). At the Closing, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Company shall issue and deliver to each Investor one or more certificates representing the Purchased Shares, free and clear of any liens and other encumbrances (other than those placed thereon by or on behalf of the Investors). In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Purchased Shares, upon request of an Investor, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Purchased Shares by crediting the account of such Investor’s prime broker (which shall be specified by such Investor a reasonably sufficient time in advance).

2.3 Payment of Purchase Price. As payment in full for the Purchased Shares, on the Closing Date, each Investor shall deliver to the Company the Purchase Price set forth opposite the name of such Investor on Schedule 2.1. Payment of the Purchase Price shall be made in immediately available funds by wire transfer to the bank account designated by the Company at least two (2) business days in advance of the Closing Date.

2.4 Closing Adjustments.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not directly or indirectly effect or cause to be effected prior to the Closing any transaction with a third party that would reasonably be expected to result in a Change in Control unless such third party shall have provided prior assurance in writing to the Investors (in a form that is reasonably satisfactory to the Investors) that the terms of this Agreement, including this Section 2.4, shall be fully performed (i) by the Company or (ii) by such third party if it is the successor of the Company or if the Company is its direct or indirect subsidiary.

- 7 -

(iii) the consummation of a merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange or similar transaction that requires adoption by the Company’s stockholders (a “Business Combination”), unless immediately following such Business Combination: (x) more than 50% of the total voting power of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination (the “Surviving Corporation”), or, if applicable, the ultimate parent corporation that directly or indirectly has Beneficial Ownership of 100% of the voting securities eligible to elect directors of the Surviving Corporation (the “Parent Corporation”), is represented by Voting Securities that were outstanding immediately before such Business Combination (or, if applicable, is represented by shares into which such Voting Securities were converted pursuant to such Business Combination), and (y) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the Parent Corporation (or, if there is no Parent Corporation, the Surviving Corporation) following the consummation of the Business Combination were Incumbent Directors at the time the Company’s Board of Directors approved the execution of the initial agreement providing for such Business Combination (any Business Combination which satisfies all of the criteria specified in (x) and (y) above will be deemed a “Non-Qualifying Transaction”);

(iv) the stockholders of the Company approve a plan of liquidation or dissolution of the Company or a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; or

(v) the Company has entered into a definitive agreement, the consummation of which would result in the occurrence of any of the events described in clauses (i) through (iv) of this definition above.

Furthermore, Investor acknowledges that: (i) the Placement Agent has not performed any due diligence review on behalf of Investor; (ii) nothing in this Agreement or any other materials presented by or on behalf of the Company to the Investor in connection with the purchase of the Purchased Shares constitutes legal, tax or investment advice and Investor has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase of the Purchased Shares; and (iii) Investor received or had access to all of the information Investor deemed necessary in order to make its decision to invest in the Common Stock. The Placement Agent and its affiliates (and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys and consultants), are third-party beneficiaries to this Section 3.3(g).

(h) Reliance on Exemption. Investor understands that the Purchased Shares are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and regulations and that the

- 23 -

Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and Investor’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of Investor set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of Investor to acquire the Purchased Shares.

(i) No General Solicitation. Investor is not purchasing the Purchased Shares as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Purchased Shares published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or any other general advertisement.

(j) No Governmental Review; the Purchased Shares Are Not Deposits and Are not Insured. Investor understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Purchased Shares or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Purchased Shares nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Purchased Shares. INVESTOR UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT THE PURCHASED SHARES ARE NOT SAVINGS ACCOUNTS, DEPOSITS OR OTHER OBLIGATIONS OF A DEPOSITORY INSTITUTION AND ARE NOT INSURED BY THE FDIC, INCLUDING THE FDIC’S DEPOSIT INSURANCE FUND, OR ANY OTHER GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY, AND THAT THE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO RISK OF LOSS.

(k) Brokers and Finders. Neither the Investor nor its Affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors or employees has employed any broker or finder or incurred any liability for any financial advisory fees, brokerage fees, commissions or finder’s fees, and no broker or finder has acted directly or indirectly for the Investor, in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

(l) Knowledge as to Conditions. As of the date of this Agreement, the Investor knows of no reason why any regulatory approvals and, to the extent necessary, any other approvals, authorizations, filings, registrations, and notices required or otherwise a condition to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the this Agreement cannot, or should not, be obtained.

(m) Not Acting in Concert. Except as Previously Disclosed, the Investor has not or is not acting in concert with any other person. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company, the Investor, either acting alone or together with any other person will not, directly or indirectly, own, control or have the power to vote, after giving effect to its purchase of the Purchased Shares, in excess of 9.9% of the outstanding shares of any class of the Company’s Voting Securities. Without limiting the foregoing, the Investor represents and warrants that it does not and will not as a result of its purchase or holding of the Purchased Shares or any other securities of the Company have “control” of the Company or the Bank, and has no present intention of acquiring “control” of the Company or the Bank for purposes of the BHC Act or the Change in Bank Control Act.

“(i) THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT WHILE A REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATING THERETO IS IN EFFECT UNDER SUCH ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT OR SUCH LAWS.

(ii) THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO TRANSFER AND OTHER RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN AN INVESTMENT AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF MAY , 2010, COPIES OF WHICH ARE ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE ISSUER.”

(b) Upon request of an Investor and upon receipt by the Company of an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect that such legend is no longer required under the Securities Act or applicable state laws, as the case may be, the Company shall promptly cause clause (i) of the legend to be removed from any certificate for any Securities to be so transferred and clause (ii) of the legend shall be removed upon the expiration of such transfer and other restrictions set forth in this Agreement.

6.2 Certain Transactions.

6.3 Indemnity.

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Investors and their Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees and

- 28 -

agents, and each person who controls an Investor within the meaning of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, to the fullest extent lawful, from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, proceedings, costs, losses, liabilities, damages, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements), amounts paid in settlement and other costs (collectively, “Losses”) arising out of or resulting from (i) any inaccuracy in or breach of the Company’s representations or warranties in this Agreement, (ii) the Company’s breach of agreements or covenants made by the Company in this Agreement or (iii) any Losses arising out of or resulting from any legal, administrative or other proceedings instituted by any Governmental Entity, stockholder of the Company or any other person (other than an Investor and its Affiliates and the Company and its Subsidiaries) arising out of the stock purchase transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the terms of the Securities (other than any Losses attributable to the acts, errors or omissions on the part of an Investor, but not including the transactions contemplated hereby).

(b) Each Investor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Company and its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees and agents, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, to the fullest extent lawful, from and against any and all Losses arising out of or resulting from (i) any inaccuracy in or breach of such Investor’s representations or warranties in this Agreement or (ii) such Investor’s breach of agreements or covenants made by such Investor in this Agreement.

(c) A party entitled to indemnification hereunder (each, an “Indemnified Party”) shall give written notice to the party indemnifying it (the “Indemnifying Party”) of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification promptly after the discovery by such Indemnified Party of any matters giving rise to a claim for indemnification; provided that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 6.3 unless and to the extent that the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually prejudiced by the failure of such Indemnified Party to so notify such party. Such notice shall describe in reasonable detail such claim. In case any such action, suit, claim or proceeding is brought against an Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to hire, at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party counsel and conduct the defense thereof; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall only be liable for the legal fees and expenses of one law firm for all Indemnified Parties, taken together with regard to any single action or group of related actions, upon agreement by the Indemnified Parties and the Indemnifying Parties. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any claim, all Indemnified Parties shall thereafter deliver to the Indemnifying Party copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the claim, and any Indemnified Party shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution of such claim. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the Indemnifying Party’s request) the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information that are reasonably relevant to such claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, suit, claim or proceeding effected without its written consent; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. The Indemnifying Party further agrees that it will not, without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent (which shall not be

- 29 -

unreasonably withheld or delayed), settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of any judgment in respect thereof in any pending or threatened action, suit, claim or proceeding in respect of which indemnification has been sought hereunder unless such settlement or compromise includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such action, suit, claim or proceeding.

(d) For purposes of the indemnity contained in Sections 6.3(a)(i) and Section 6.3(b)(i), all qualifications and limitations set forth in the parties’ representations and warranties as to “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect” and words of similar import), shall be disregarded in determining whether there shall have been any inaccuracy in or breach of any representations and warranties in this Agreement.

(e) For the avoidance of doubt, no indemnity obligation shall result from a breach of the representation set forth in Section 3.2(c) to the extent such breach is fully remedied by an adjustment under Section 2.4 hereof.

(f) The indemnity obligations of the Indemnifying Party under this Section 6.3 shall survive the Transfer or redemption of the Securities issued pursuant to this Agreement and the closing or termination of this Agreement. The indemnity provided for in this Section 6.3 shall be the sole and exclusive monetary remedy of Indemnified Parties after the Closing for any inaccuracy of any of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any other breach of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement; provided that nothing herein shall limit in any way any such parties’ remedies in respect of fraud, intentional misrepresentation or omission or intentional misconduct by the other party in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. No party to this Agreement (or any of its Affiliates) shall, in any event, be liable or otherwise responsible to any other party (or any of its Affiliates) for any consequential or punitive damages of such other party (or any of its Affiliates) arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the performance or breach hereof. The indemnification rights contained in this Section 6.3 are not limited or deemed waived by any investigation or knowledge by the Indemnified Party prior to or after the date hereof.

(g) Any indemnification payments pursuant to this Section 6.3 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for the Securities for U.S. federal income and applicable state and local Tax purposes, unless a different treatment is required by applicable law.

(h) The indemnification provided for in this Section 6.3 shall be subject to the following limitations:

(i) The Company shall not have any indemnification obligation under Section 6.3(a) unless and until the aggregate amount of Losses incurred by the relevant Indemnified Parties in respect of indemnification under Section 6.3(a) exceeds $250,000, whereupon the relevant Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover, and the Company shall be required to pay, all such Losses.

(ii) The Investors shall not have any indemnification obligation under Section 6.3(b) unless and until the aggregate amount of Losses incurred by the relevant Indemnified Parties in respect of indemnification under Section 6.3(b) exceeds $250,000, whereupon the relevant Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover, and the Company shall be required to pay, all such Losses.

6.4 Transfer Restrictions. Following the Closing, the Investors may Transfer (as defined below) any and all of the Securities acquired pursuant to this Agreement at any time, provided that an Investor shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, without the prior approval of a majority of the directors of the Company who qualify as independent directors, directly or indirectly sell, transfer, make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of or otherwise dispose of any Securities acquired pursuant to this Agreement, or take any other action that is intended to have an economic impact equivalent to any of the foregoing (“Transfer”), in one or more transactions, to any person or group if such person or group and their respective Affiliates would collectively own more than 4.9% of the outstanding voting power of the Company or more than 4.9% of any class of voting securities of the Company; provided further, however, that the foregoing shall not (a) prohibit an Investor from Transferring Securities in any broadly distributed offering as conducted by an independent broker dealer mutually acceptable to the Company and such Investor that involves only sales to mutual funds or other institutional investors that acquire and hold securities in the ordinary course of business and not for the purpose of or with the effect of changing or influencing control of the Company or in connection with or as a participant in any transaction having that purpose or effect, or (b) apply, if, at any time, (i) the Company has entered into a definitive agreement, the consummation of which would result in a Change in Control or (ii) any person shall have commenced and not withdrawn a bona fide public tender or exchange offer which if consummated would result in a Change in Control. The Investors further agree that they shall not engage in any transaction or series of transactions the primary purpose of which is to avoid the limitations set forth in this Section 6.4.

Upon 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.

8.11 No Third Party Beneficiaries.
