 also indemnify and advance expenses to an officer of the corporation who is a party to a proceeding because he is an officer to the same extent as for a director and, if the officer is not a director or is a party to the proceeding solely on the basis of his acts or omissions as an officer, to such further extent as provided in the corporation’s articles of incorporation or bylaws or a resolution of the corporation’s board of directors or by contract. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an officer may not be indemnified for conduct for which a director may not be indemnified as provided above or for an intentional violation of criminal law or infliction of harm on the corporation or its shareholders.

#### Renasant Bylaws
The Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Registrant (the “Bylaws”), contain indemnification provisions that require the Registrant to indemnify any director or officer made party to any proceeding if such director or officer met the requisite standard of conduct set forth in the bylaws and such indemnification is not otherwise prohibited by Mississippi law. The required standard of conduct under our Bylaws is the same as that under the MBCA. Under our Bylaws, the determination whether a director or officer met the required standard of conduct is made by the board of directors, special legal counsel, if there are fewer than two disinterested directors on the board of directors, or by the Registrant’s shareholders. The advancement of expenses is also mandatory under our Bylaws, provided that the director or officer makes deliveries analogous to those required under the MBCA. Similarly, the Registrant is prohibited from indemnifying a director or officer under the same circumstances as provided in the MBCA. The indemnification and insurance provisions in our Bylaws are subject to the limitations and prohibitions imposed by federal law including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the

Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended, and any implementing regulations concerning indemnification.

The Registrant’s Articles of Incorporation do not address indemnification of directors and officers.

The Registrant also maintains an insurance policy insuring the Registrant and its directors and officers against certain liabilities.
