Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Bank nor any Seller shall be required to provide access to or to disclose information where such access or disclosure would violate or prejudice the rights of the Bank’s customers, jeopardize the attorney-client privilege of the Bank or any Seller or contravene any Law, fiduciary duty or binding agreement entered into prior to the date of this Agreement.

If a Party or any of its Representatives is required to disclose any Confidential Information in connection with a judicial or administrative proceeding or examination (including by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena or similar process), such Party will, to the extent legally permissible, give the other Party prompt and prior written notice of such requirement.

If and to the extent that, in the absence of a protective order, other remedy, or the receipt of a waiver from the other Party after a request in writing therefor is made by such Party (such request to be made as soon as practicable to allow the other Party a reasonable amount of time to respond), such Party or its Representatives are legally required, as advised by counsel in writing, to disclose Confidential Information to any tribunal to avoid censure or penalty, such Party will limit such

-35- 4811-0033-8921 v.25 disclosure to that which is legally required and will use reasonable efforts to obtain assurances that confidential treatment will be accorded to any Confidential Information that such Party is so required to disclose, and thereafter such Party may disclose such information without liability hereunder.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of a breach of the obligations under this Section 6.05 by any Party, its Affiliates (if any) or any Representatives of any of the foregoing, the other Party, in addition to all other available remedies, shall be entitled to seek specific performance to enforce the provisions of this Section 6.05 in any court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with Section 11.04. 6.06 Fees and Expenses.

The fees and expenses of the accounting firm shall be borne equally by Purchaser and Sellers.

-48- 4811-0033-8921 v.25 Share Sale and transactions contemplated hereby as the Sellers’ Representative may deem appropriate; (d) take such action on behalf of Sellers as the Sellers’ Representative may deem appropriate in respect of the following: (i) any matters contemplated by Section 3.04 (including any dispute relating thereto); (ii) any claims (including settlement thereof) made for indemnification pursuant to Article IX; (iii) any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement; and (iv) any claims, filings or other matters contemplated by Section 6.02; (e) take such other action as the Sellers’ Representative is authorized to take under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement; (f) make all determinations required or permitted under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement; and (g) take all relevant action in all such other matters as the Sellers’ Representative may deem necessary or appropriate to consummate the Share Sale. 10.02 Sellers’ Representative Expenses. The Sellers’ Representative shall not be entitled to any fee, commission or other compensation for the performance of its services hereunder but shall be entitled to reimbursement for out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including legal, accounting and other advisors’ fees and expenses, if applicable) incurred by the Sellers’ Representative in performing its duties under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. The Sellers’ Representative shall be entitled to deduct any such fees and expenses from any amounts payable to Sellers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement. 10.03 Indemnification of Sellers’ Representative.

The costs of such indemnification (including the costs and expenses of enforcing this right of indemnification) shall be individual obligations of each Seller based on his or her Pro Rata Share of such costs. The Sellers’ Representative shall be entitled to deduct any such fees and expenses from any amounts payable to Sellers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement.

A decision, act, consent or instruction of any one of the two individuals appointed in Section 10.01 as a Sellers’ Representative, including an amendment, extension or waiver of this Agreement, shall constitute a decision of Sellers and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Sellers. Purchaser shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon any statement or action within the scope of Section 10.01 made or taken by any one of the two individuals appointed in Section 10.01 as a Sellers’ Representative as being the action of Sellers. The Sellers’ Representative may, in all questions arising under this Agreement, rely on the advice of counsel, and for anything done, omitted or suffered in good faith by the Sellers’ Representative in accordance with such advice, the Sellers’ Representative shall not be liable to the Sellers or the Escrow Agent or any other person. Purchaser shall be entitled to rely fully on all actions of any one of the two individuals appointed in Section 10.01 as a Sellers’ Representative as a legal and binding action by the Sellers.

Sellers exercising such replacement right shall cause (a) written notice of such replacement (along with the replacement Sellers’ Representative’s notice details and evidence of the requisite Seller vote or consent having been obtained) to be promptly given to Purchaser and each other Seller and (b) the replacement Sellers’ Representative to accede to this Agreement as the Sellers’ Representative, it being understood that no replacement of the Sellers’ Representative pursuant to this Section 10.05 shall be effective until the notice contemplated by clause (a) has been delivered and the accession contemplated by clause (b) shall have occurred.

Each Party agrees that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by it in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached or threatened to be breached.
