The Renasant bylaws provide that whenever any director or officer (each, an “Indemnitee” and together, the “Indemnitees”) is made a party to any proceeding, including any derivative action in the right of Renasant, the Indemnitees will be indemnified against liability and reasonable expenses, including attorney’s fees, incurred by the Indemnitees in connection with such proceeding, if the Indemnitee meets certain standards of conduct described below and such indemnification is not otherwise prohibited by Mississippi law or the Renasant bylaws. An Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification from Renasant against any liability in a proceeding by Renasant (not including derivative actions in the right of Renasant) against such Indemnitee. An Indemnitee meets the required standard of conduct if the Indemnitee conducted himself or herself in good faith and reasonably believed that (1) any conduct in the Indemnitee’s official capacity was in the best interests of Renasant, (2) in all other cases, the Indemnitee’s conduct was at least not opposed to the best interests of Renasant, or (3) in any criminal proceeding, the Indemnitee had no reasonable cause to believe that such conduct was unlawful.

Unless ordered by a court pursuant to the Mississippi Business Corporations Act (the “MBCA”), Renasant may not indemnify any Indemnitee in respect to any liability in connection with: (1) a proceeding in the right of the corporation, except for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding if it is determined that the Indemnitee has met the relevant standard of conduct described above; or (2) any proceeding with respect to conduct for which the Indemnitee was adjudged liable on the basis that the Indemnitee received a financial benefit to which the Indemnitee was not entitled, whether or not involving action in the Indemnitee’s official capacity.
