Exhibit 4.3

 

Description of Registrant’s Securities 

 

Authorized Capital Stock

 

The Company’s authorized
capital stock consists of 60,000,000 shares of capital stock, par value $0.001 per share, of which 50,000,000 shares are common stock,
par value $0.001 per share and 10,000,000 shares are preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share.

 

Common Stock

 

Each holder of our common
stock is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders. Holders of our
common stock are entitled to receive ratably the dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the board of directors out
of funds legally available therefor. If there is a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our company, holders of our common stock
would be entitled to share in our assets remaining after the payment of liabilities. Holders of our common stock have no preemptive or
conversion rights or other subscription rights, and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock.
The outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and non-assessable. Holders of shares of our common stock are not liable for further
calls or to assessments by us. The rights, powers, preferences and privileges of holders of common stock would be subordinate to, and
may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock which our board of directors may designate
and issue in the future.

 

Transfer Agent and Registrar

 

The transfer agent and registrar
for our common stock is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust. The transfer agent’s address is 1 State Street, 30th
Floor, New York, NY 10004.

 

Dividend Policy

 

We have never declared or
paid any cash dividends on our capital stock, and we do not currently intend to pay any cash dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable
future. We expect to retain future earnings, if any, to fund the development and growth of our business. Any future determination to pay
dividends on our common stock will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon, among other factors, our financial
condition, operating results, current and anticipated cash needs, plans for expansion and other factors that our board of directors may
deem relevant.

 

Anti-Takeover Provisions of Our Charter Documents
and Delaware Law

 

Some provisions of our Charter,
our Bylaws and Delaware law could make it more difficult to acquire our company by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest, or otherwise.

 

Our Bylaws establish advance
notice procedures with respect to stockholder proposals and the nomination of candidates for election as directors, other than nominations
made by or at the direction of our board of directors or a committee of our board of directors. These procedures provide that notice of
stockholder proposals must be timely given in writing to our corporate secretary prior to the meeting at which the action is to be taken.
Generally, for a proposal to be timely submitted for consideration at an annual meeting, notice must be delivered to our secretary not
less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary date of the annual meeting for the preceding year. Our Bylaws
specify the requirements as to form and content of all stockholders’ notices. These provisions might preclude our stockholders from
bringing matters before our annual meeting of stockholders or from making nominations for directors at our annual meeting of stockholders
if the proper procedures are not followed.

 

     

     

    

 

Our Charter and Bylaws both
provide that vacancies on our board of directors, including newly created directorships, may be filled only by a majority vote of directors
then in office, and directors so chosen shall hold office for a term expiring at the next annual meeting of stockholders or until such
director’s successor shall have been duly elected and qualified. Accordingly, the board of directors could prevent any stockholder
from filling the new directorships with such stockholder’s own nominee.

 

Our Charter provides that
we may issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. As of the date of this registration
statement, no shares of preferred stock were outstanding. Shares of preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more
series, each of which will have such distinctive designation or title as shall be determined by our Board prior to the issuance of any
shares thereof. Preferred stock will have such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such preferences, privileges and
relative, participating, optional or other special rights and such qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, including dividend
rights, conversion rights, voting rights, redemption rights, liquidation preference, sinking fund terms and the number of shares constituting
any series or the designation of any series, as shall be stated in such resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of such class
or series of preferred stock as may be adopted from time to time by the Board prior to the issuance of any shares thereof.

 

While we do not currently
have any plans for the issuance of any shares of preferred stock, the issuance of such preferred stock could adversely affect the rights
of the holders of common stock and, therefore, reduce the market price of the common stock. It is not possible to state the actual effect
of the issuance of any shares of preferred stock on the rights of holders of the common stock until the Board determines the specific
rights of the holders of the preferred stock; however, these effects may include:

 

	 	●	Restricting dividends on the common stock;

 

	 	●	Diluting the voting power of the common stock;

 

	 	●	Impairing the liquidation rights of the common stock; or

 

	 	●	Delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control of the Company.

 

Delaware Anti-Takeover Law

 

We are subject to Section
203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law which contains anti-takeover provisions. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held
Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination with an interested stockholder for a period of three years following the
date that the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination or the transaction in which the person became an
interested stockholder is approved in a prescribed manner. Generally, a business combination includes a merger, asset or stock sale or
another transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. An interested stockholder is a person who, together
with affiliates and associates, owns 15% or more of the corporation’s voting stock. The existence of this provision may have an
anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions that are not approved in advance by our board of directors, including discouraging attempts
that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares of common stock held by stockholders.

 

No Cumulative Voting

 

Under Delaware law, cumulative
voting for the election of directors is not permitted unless a corporation’s certificate of incorporation authorizes cumulative
voting. Our Charter does not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors. Cumulative voting allows a minority stockholder
to vote a portion or all of its shares for one or more candidates for seats on our board of directors. Without cumulative voting, a minority
stockholder will not be able to gain as many seats on our board of directors based on the number of shares of our stock the stockholder
holds as compared to the number of seats the stockholder would be able to gain if cumulative voting were permitted. The absence of cumulative
voting makes it more difficult for a minority stockholder to gain a seat on our board of directors to influence our board’s decision
regarding a takeover.

 

    2

     

    

 

Stockholder Action by Written Consent

 

Delaware law generally provides
that the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote on such matter is required to amend a corporation’s certificate
of incorporation or bylaws, unless a corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws requires a greater percentage. Our Charter
permits our board of directors to amend or repeal most provisions of our Bylaws by majority vote. Generally, our Charter may be amended
by holders of a majority of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of our capital stock entitled to vote. The stockholder vote
or consent with respect to an amendment of our Charter or Bylaws would be in addition to any separate class vote that might in the future
be required under the terms of any series of preferred stock that might be outstanding at the time such a proposed amendment were submitted
to stockholders. Delaware law and the provisions of our Bylaws generally permit stockholders owning the requisite percentage of shares
of common stock necessary to approve an amendment to our Charter and Bylaws to act by written consent in lieu of a meeting of our stockholders.

 

Limitation of Liability and Indemnification
of Officers and Directors

 

Our Bylaws provide indemnification,
including advancement of expenses, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law to any person made or threatened to be made a
party to any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative
by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the company, or is or was serving at our request as a director
or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee
benefit plan. In addition, our Charter provides that our directors will not be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary
damages for breaches of their fiduciary duty as directors, unless they violated their duty of loyalty to us or our shareholders, acted
in bad faith, knowingly or intentionally violated the law, authorized illegal dividends or redemptions or derived an improper personal
benefit from their action as directors. This provision does not limit or eliminate our rights or the rights of any stockholder to seek
nonmonetary relief such as an injunction or rescission in the event of a breach of a director’s duty of care. In addition, this
provision does not limit the directors’ responsibilities under Delaware law or any other laws, such as the federal securities laws.
We have obtained insurance that insures our directors and officers against certain losses and which insures us against our obligations
to indemnify the directors and officers. We also have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers.

 INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT, dated as of April 1, 2022 (this
“Agreement”), by and between Valley National Bancorp, a New Jersey corporation (“Parent”), and Bank Leumi Le-Israel B.M., an Israeli corporation (the
“Investor”). 
 W I T N E S S E T H: 

WHEREAS, on September 22, 2021, Parent, Bank Leumi le-Israel Corporation, a New York corporation
(the “Company”), and Volcano Merger Sub Corporation, a New York corporation, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as it may be amended, modified or otherwise supplemented from time to time, the “Merger
Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, (i) Merger Sub merged with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving entity (the “Merger”), (ii) immediately following the Merger, the Company merged
with and into Parent, with Parent as the surviving entity (the “Follow-On Merger”), and (iii) immediately following the Follow-On Merger, Bank
Leumi USA (“Company Bank Subsidiary”) merged with and into Valley National Bank (“Parent Bank Subsidiary”), with Parent Bank Subsidiary as the surviving entity (the “Bank Merger”), in each case, on
the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement; 
 WHEREAS, pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions
of the Merger Agreement, in connection with the consummation of the Merger, the Investor received cash and shares of common stock, no par value, of Parent (the “Parent Common Stock”); and 

WHEREAS, in connection with and pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each of the parties hereto wishes to set forth in this Agreement certain
terms and conditions regarding certain governance matters and the Investor’s ownership of the Shares and to establish certain rights, restrictions and obligations of Parent and the Investor with respect to the Shares. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement, and other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows: 

ARTICLE I 

GOVERNANCE AND REGULATORY MATTERS 

1.1 Composition of the Board of Directors at the Closing. At the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”), Parent shall
take all action necessary to cause (i) the number of directors that comprise the Board of Directors of Parent (the “Parent Board”) and the Board of Directors of Parent Bank Subsidiary (the “Parent Bank Board”)
to each be increased by two (2), and (ii) provided that at the Closing such individuals meet the Eligibility Criteria set forth in the first sentence of Section 1.3, two individuals designated by the Investor to
be appointed to fill such newly created vacancies on the Parent Board (as of the effective time of the Merger) and the Parent Bank Board (as of the effective time of the Bank Merger); provided that it is hereby understood and agreed that for
purposes of this Section 1.1, Avner Mendelson (which individual may, but is not required to be, one of the two individuals designated by the Investor pursuant to this Section 1.1), shall be deemed
to meet the eligibility criteria set forth in clauses (iii), (v), (vi) and (vii) of the first sentence of Section 1.3(a) (it being understood that the determination as to whether such individuals meet the eligibility
criteria set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iv) of the first of the first sentence of Section 1.3(a) shall be made at the time such individuals may be appointed to the Parent Board and Parent Bank Board). 

  
 1 

 1.2 Composition of the Parent Board and the Parent Bank Board Following the
Closing.  
 (a) Following the Closing and until the First Threshold Date, Parent shall take all action necessary to cause the
size of the Parent Board and the Parent Bank Board to each be at least ten (10). Following the First Threshold Date and until the Second Threshold Date, Parent shall take all action necessary to cause the size of the Parent Board and the Parent Bank
Board to be at least five (5). Parent, the Parent Board and the Parent Bank Board, as applicable, shall take all necessary actions to ensure that, at all times when any Investor Directors are eligible to be designated, nominated and/or elected
pursuant hereto, there are sufficient vacancies on each of the Parent Board and the Parent Bank Board to permit such designation, nomination and/or election. 

(b) Following the Closing, at each annual or special meeting of shareholders of Parent at which directors are to be elected to the Parent
Board, Parent shall nominate and use its reasonable best efforts to cause the election to the Parent Board (which reasonable best efforts shall, for the avoidance of doubt, include Parent (1) recommending that Parent’s shareholders vote in
favor of the election of the applicable Investor Designees(s) and (2) otherwise supporting such applicable Investor Designee(s) in a manner substantially the same in all material respects as the manner in which Parent supports its other
director nominees) of a slate of directors which includes: (i) until the First Threshold Date, two Investor Directors and (ii) from and after the First Threshold Date until the Second Threshold Date, one Investor Director; provided
that in no event shall Parent be obligated to nominate for election, or appoint, an Investor Designee to the Parent Board if, at the time such Investor Designee is to become an Investor Director, the Investor Directors would comprise more than 20%
of the members then serving on the Parent Board. 
 (c) Following the Closing and until the Second Threshold Date, Parent shall take all
necessary action to cause each Investor Director that is serving as a member of the Parent Board to be a member of the Parent Bank Board; provided, that in no event shall Parent be required to elect or appoint an Investor Director to the
Parent Bank Board if, at the time such Investor Director is to become a director serving on the Parent Bank Board, the Investor Directors would comprise more than 20% of the members then serving on the Parent Bank Board. 

(d) Without the prior written consent of the Investor, until the Second Threshold Date has occurred, Parent shall not remove any Investor
Director from his or her directorship on the Parent Bank Board except as expressly permitted hereby. The Investor shall have the right to cause any Investor Director to resign from his or her directorship on the Parent Board or the Parent Bank Board
at any time. At the Investor’s written request, Parent shall take action in its capacity as a shareholder of Parent Bank to remove any Investor Director from his or her directorship on the Parent Bank Board. 

  
 2 

 (e) The Investor shall notify Parent of the identity of each proposed Investor Designee, in
writing, on or before the time such information is reasonably requested by the Parent Board or the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Parent Board for inclusion in a proxy statement for a meeting of shareholders, together with all
information about each proposed Investor Designee as shall be reasonably requested by the Parent Board or the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Parent Board; provided, that in the event the Investor fails to provide any
such notice, the applicable individuals then serving as Investor Directors shall be deemed to be the Investor Designees for such meeting. For the avoidance of doubt, the Investor shall not be required to comply with any other advance notice
provisions generally applicable to the nomination of directors by Parent so long as the Investor complies with this Section 1.2(e). 

(f) In the event of the death, disability, resignation or removal of an Investor Director or if an Investor Director ceases to serve on the
Parent Board and/or the Parent Bank Board for any other reason (in the case of each of the foregoing, other than pursuant to Section 1.6), Parent shall take all action necessary to cause the Parent Board and the Parent Bank
Board to promptly appoint to the Parent Board and the Parent Bank Board, and to all committees on which such Investor Director served, respectively, a replacement Investor Director designated by the Investor to fill the resulting vacancy, subject to
and in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 1.3; provided, that if an Investor Director is removed for cause, the replacement Investor Director shall not be the same individual who was removed. 

(g) In the event that an Investor Designee fails to be elected to the Parent Board following any annual or special meeting of the shareholders
at which the Investor Designee stood for election but was nevertheless not elected, Parent and Parent Bank Board will promptly appoint a replacement Investor Director designated by the Investor to the Parent Board and the Parent Bank Board, and such
individual shall then be deemed an Investor Director for all purposes hereunder, subject to Section 1.3. 
 (h) For
the avoidance of doubt, the non-employee Investor Directors shall be entitled (i) to the same retainer, equity compensation and other fees or compensation, including travel and expense reimbursement, paid
to the other non-employee directors of Parent for their service on the Parent Board, including any service on any committee of the Parent Board, and (ii) to indemnification rights no less favorable than
those generally provided to other non-employee directors of Parent. Each Investor Director shall be covered in such a manner as to provide each Investor Director in his or her capacity as a director of Parent
with rights and benefits under all directors’ and officers’ insurance policies no less favorable than those generally provided to other non-employee directors of Parent. Parent acknowledges and
agrees that Parent is the indemnitor of first resort with respect to any Investor Director (i.e., its obligations to such Investor Director pursuant to this Section 1.2(h) are primary and any obligation of any other Persons to
which such Investor Director may have rights to advancement of expenses or to indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by such Investor Director are secondary) with respect to the matters set forth in this
Section 1.2(h). 

  
 3

Board in their capacities as such), as applicable, and the minutes of, and resolutions passed at, all meetings of each of the Parent Board and the Parent Bank Board (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not of any committees of the Parent Board or the
Parent Bank Board), as applicable, in each case, at substantially the same time and in the substantially the same manner as provided to members of the Parent Board and Parent Bank Board, as applicable. The Investor Observer shall not have the right
to request from Parent or any of its Affiliates, or the Parent Board or the Parent Bank Board, any information or materials other than such information and materials to which it is entitled pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. The
Investor Observer shall have no power of attorney to represent or act on behalf of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries and shall not be entitled to any remuneration, retainer, equity compensation or other fees or compensation or expense reimbursement
from Parent or any of its Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.5, the Parent Board or Parent Bank Board may exclude any Investor Observe from access to any materials or from any meeting
or any portion of any meeting to the same extent as it would exclude a similarly situated director in order to comply with Applicable Law or to the extent that such exclusion is necessary or reasonably advisable to avoid an actual conflict of
interest or to preserve attorney-client privilege. 
 1.6 Termination of Investor Board Rights. The Investor shall notify Parent
within five (5) Business Days of the First Threshold Date that the First Threshold Date has occurred and no later than two (2) Business Days after such notification, cause one Investor Director and the Investor Observer to resign from each
of the Parent Board, all applicable committees thereof, the Parent Bank Board and all applicable committees thereof, such that immediately following such resignation there is no more than one Investor Director (and no Investor Observer) on each of
the Parent Board, any committees thereof, the Parent Bank Board and any committees thereof. The Investor shall notify Parent within five (5) Business Days of the Second Threshold Date that the Second Threshold Date has occurred and no later
than two (2) Business Days after such notification, cause any and all Investor Directors to immediately resign from each of the Parent Board, all applicable committees thereof, the Parent Bank Board and all applicable committees thereof. 

1.7 Parent Board and Parent Bank Board Obligations. Any breach by the Parent Board or the Parent Bank Board, or any committee of the
Parent Board or the Parent Bank Board, of its obligations under this Article I shall be deemed a breach by Parent of its obligations hereunder.

 1.8 Regulatory Matters.  

(a) Each of Parent and the Investor agrees to cooperate and use its reasonable best efforts to ensure, including by communicating with each
other with respect to their respective purchases of Parent Common Stock, that neither the Investor nor any of its Affiliates has “control” of Parent for purposes of the BHC Act (a “Parent Control Effect”). 

(b) Parent agrees it will use reasonable best efforts to monitor the ongoing business relationships between Parent and its Affiliates, on the
one hand, and the Investor and its Affiliates, on the other hand, and will consult with the Investor periodically in order to facilitate compliance with applicable regulations and the objectives of this Section 1.8. Parent
will use reasonable best efforts to calculate the percentage of Parent’s consolidated revenues and expenses generated from business relationships with Investor and Investor’s subsidiaries and provide such information to Investor on a
quarterly basis or, to the extent required by the Federal Reserve, a different periodic basis. 
 (c) Without limiting
Section 1.8(a) and Section 1.8(b), none of the Investor, Parent or any of their respective Affiliates shall take any action which it knows would or would reasonably be expected to cause a Parent
Control Effect; provided, that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prohibit Parent or any of its Affiliates from undertaking any redemption, recapitalization or repurchase of Parent Common Stock, of securities or rights, options,
or warrants to purchase Parent Common Stock, or securities of any type whatsoever that are, or may become, convertible into or exchangeable into or exercisable for Parent Common Stock in each case; provided, further, that if it is
reasonably likely that such action would result in a Parent Control Effect or a requirement to file a CBC Act notice (a “CBC Act Effect”), Parent shall give the Investor the right to participate in such redemption, recapitalization
or repurchase pro rata (based on Investor’s Investor Percentage Interest or such greater amount as may be required to avoid a Parent Control Effect), it being agreed that the Investor shall promptly inform Parent of its determination as to
whether to participate and, if it does not participate, it shall promptly dispose of a number of shares of Parent Common Stock necessary to avoid a Parent Control Effect arising from such redemption, recapitalization or repurchase (in one or more
Transfers which comply with the terms of this Agreement). For the avoidance of doubt, Investor shall have no obligation to dispose of Parent Common Stock or any securities or rights, options, or warrants to purchase Parent Common Stock, or
securities of any type whatsoever to avoid a CBC Act Effect and have no obligation to avoid a CBC Act Effect. If Investor is entitled to receive any Voting Securities from Parent in connection with a stock dividend or similar distribution of Voting
Securities in respect of Parent Common Stock, but Investor’s receipt of all or a portion of such Voting Securities would reasonably be expected to cause a Parent Control Effect or CBC Act Effect, Investor shall receive (in the case of a Parent
Control Effect) or shall have the option, in Investor’s sole discretion, to receive (in the case of a CBC Act Effect) Nonvoting Parent Common Stock or rights, options, or warrants to purchase Parent Common Stock, instead of Voting Securities,
as necessary to avoid the occurrence of a Parent Control Effect or, in Investor’s sole discretion, a CBC Act Effect (it being understood that such distribution of Nonvoting Parent Common Stock shall be subject to compliance with Applicable Law
and Parent’s organizational documents at such time, and may be delayed to the extent necessary to obtain required approvals from any Governmental Authority or any stockholder vote or consent required pursuant to Parent’s organizational
documents; provided that Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to promptly obtain any required approvals from any 

  
 7 

 
Governmental Authority or any stockholder vote or consent required pursuant to Parent’s organizational documents and if such Nonvoting Parent Common Stock is not distributed to Investor
within 90 days following the distribution of Voting Securities in respect of Parent Common Stock to which the distribution of Nonvoting Parent Common Stock relates then Parent shall promptly distribute to Investor cash in an amount equal to the
value of the Voting Securities Investor would have received if Investor had received a distribution of Voting Securities, with such value based on the market close price of Parent Common Stock on the date other investors received the distribution of
such Voting Securities). 
 (d) If at any time the Investor reasonably determines in good faith, after consultation with Parent and its
outside counsel, that (i) the Investor’s ownership of Parent Common Stock has become illegal or in contravention of any order or judgment by a Governmental Authority or the Non-Control Determination
or (ii) a Parent Control Effect has otherwise occurred, then, provided the Investor has complied with its obligations under this Section 1.8, if, despite the Investor’s compliance with its obligations set
forth in this Section 1.8, such illegality, contravention or Parent Control Effect cannot be cured, Parent and the Investor shall cooperate in good faith to take such actions as are mutually agreeable to cure such
illegality, contravention or Parent Control Effect in a manner that best preserves the parties’ economic expectations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if reasonably
required in order to cure either clause (i) or (ii) above, the Investor shall be entitled to effect a Transfer of the portion of its shares of Parent Common Stock to the extent necessary to cure such illegality, contravention or
Parent Control Effect, without compliance with the transfer restrictions in Section 2.1, other than Section 2.1(d)(iii) and Section 2.1(h). 

1.9 Confidentiality.  

(a) The Investor hereby agrees that all Confidential Information with respect to Parent, its Subsidiaries and its and their businesses,
finances and operations shall be kept confidential by the Investor and each Investor Director and Investor Observer and shall not be disclosed by the Investor or any Investor Director or Investor Observer in any manner whatsoever, except as
expressly permitted by this Section 1.9(a). Notwithstanding the preceding sentence or anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, any Confidential Information may be disclosed: 

(i) by an Investor Director or an Investor Observer to the Investor or any of its Affiliates; 

(ii) by the Investor to any of its Affiliates; 

(iii) by the Investor to its or any of its Affiliates’ respective directors, officers, employees and authorized representatives
(including attorneys, accountants, consultants, bankers and financial advisors thereof) (collectively, “Representatives”) (including any Investor Director and any Investor Observer), in each case, solely if and to the extent any
Representative needs to be provided such Confidential Information to enable or assist the Investor (or its Affiliates) in evaluating or reviewing its existing investment in Parent, including in connection with the disposition thereof, and such
Confidential Information shall only be used by the Investor and its Representatives for that purpose, and each Representative shall be deemed to be, bound by 

  
 8 

 
the provisions of this Section 1.9(a) and the Investor shall be responsible for any breach of this Section 1.9(a) by any such Representative to
the same extent as if such breach had been committed by the Investor; provided, that the Investor and its Representatives shall maintain adequate procedures to prevent any Confidential Information from being used in connection with the
purchase or sale of securities of Parent, or otherwise, in violation of Applicable Law; 
 (iv) by the Investor or any of its Affiliates or
Representatives (including any Investor Director) to the extent Parent consents in writing; and 
 (v) by the Investor or any of its
Affiliates or Representatives (including any Investor Director) to the extent that the Investor or such Affiliate or Representative has received advice from its counsel (which may be internal counsel) that it is legally compelled to do so or is
required to do so to comply with Applicable Law or legal process; provided, that prior to making such disclosure, the Investor, Affiliate or Representative, as the case may be, uses reasonable best efforts to preserve the confidentiality of
the Confidential Information to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, including, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law and reasonably practicable under the circumstances, (A) consulting with Parent regarding such disclosure and
(B) if requested by Parent, assisting Parent in seeking a protective order to limit the scope of or prevent the required disclosure; provided, further, that the Investor, Affiliate or Representative, as the case may be, uses
reasonable best efforts to disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information as is, based on the advice of its counsel, legally required or compelled and to obtain assurances that confidential treatment will be afforded to any Confidential
Information that the Investor or Representative is so required or compelled to disclose. 
 (b) For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of a
breach or threatened breach of the obligations under this Section 1.9 by the Investor or any of its Representatives, Parent, in addition to all other available remedies, shall be entitled to specific performance to enforce
the provisions of this Section 1.9 in accordance with Section 8.9. 
 1.10 Voting
Agreements.  
 (a) From the Closing and until the earlier of (i) the termination of the Standstill Period and (ii) the
occurrence of a Share Aggregation Event, the Investor agrees to cause all Voting Securities Beneficially Owned by it to be counted as present for purposes of establishing a quorum and voted by proxy (returned sufficiently in advance of the deadline
for proxy voting for Parent to have the reasonable opportunity to verify receipt) on or in accordance with the proxy card mailed by Parent to the shareholders of Parent in connection with the solicitation of any proxy (including, if applicable,
through the execution of one or more written consents if shareholders of Parent are requested to vote through the execution of an action by written consent in lieu of any such annual or special meeting of shareholders of Parent), (w) in favor of all
those persons nominated to serve as directors of Parent by the Parent Board or the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Parent Board, (x) in favor of Parent’s proposal for ratification of the appointment of Parent’s
independent registered public accounting firm, (y) in favor of Parent’s “say-on-pay” proposal and any proposal by Parent relating to equity
compensation that has been approved by the Compensation Committee of the Parent Board and (z) in accordance with the recommendation of the Parent Board with respect to any proposal brought by any stockholder of Parent (including any proposal
pursuant to Rule 14a-8), in each case, to the extent such matters are to be voted upon 

  
 9 

 
by the shareholders of Parent (including through action by written consent), in accordance with the recommendation of the Parent Board. Except as set forth in this
Section 1.10(a), neither the Investor nor any of its Affiliates nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees and consultants, including any Investor Directors, shall be under any obligation by virtue of this
Agreement to vote in the same manner as recommended by the Parent Board or any other Person or in any other manner, other than in its sole discretion. 

(b) From the Closing and until the earlier of (i) the termination of the Standstill Period and (ii) the occurrence of a Share
Aggregation Event, the Investor hereby irrevocably appoints as its proxy and attorney-in-fact the Chief Executive Officer and the General Counsel of Parent, and each of
them, in his or her capacity as such, and any individual who shall hereafter succeed to such offices of Parent, with full power of substitution, to vote or execute written consents with respect to all Voting Securities Beneficially Owned by the
Investor in accordance with Section 1.10(a); provided that such proxy may only be exercised if the Investor has failed to comply with the terms of Section 1.10(a) by the date that is three
(3) Business Days prior to the applicable meeting (or within three (3) Business Days after the request for written consents, as applicable). This proxy is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable, and the Investor will take such
further action or execute such other instruments as may be necessary to effectuate the intent of this proxy and hereby revokes any proxy previously granted by it with respect to any Voting Securities Beneficially Owned by it. 

(c) The obligations set forth in this Section 1.10 shall not apply during any Material Parent Breach Period; it being
understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that the obligations set forth in this Section 1.10 shall apply from and after termination of any Material Parent Breach Period by reason of a cure of the material breach giving rise
to such Material Parent Breach Period. 
 (d) For so long as the Investor has any obligations under this Section 1.10, Parent
shall be required to provide written notice to Investor, which may be satisfied by written notice to any Investor Designee, before it enters into a voting agreement or similar agreement with one or more holders of Voting Securities (other than the
Investor). The Investor shall, within 10 Business Days following receipt of such notice inform Parent in writing of whether it intends to consult with the Federal Reserve Board concerning whether Parent’s entry into such voting agreement or
similar agreement would result in a Share Aggregation Event. If the Investor informs Parent that it will consult with the Federal Reserve Board, then Parent shall not enter into any such voting agreement or similar agreement unless and until
Investor informs Parent in writing that it has received confirmation from the Federal Reserve Board that doing so will not result in a Share Aggregation Event (“Federal Reserve Board Confirmation”). If, before receiving a Federal
Reserve Board Confirmation, Parent enters into any voting agreement or similar agreement for which a Federal Reserve Board Confirmation was required, then a Share Aggregation Event shall be deemed to have occurred.

 ARTICLE II 

TRANSFERS; STANDSTILL PROVISIONS; PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS 

2.1 Transfer Restrictions.  

(a) Subject to Section 2.2, other than solely in the case of a Permitted Transfer, the Investor shall not Transfer or
publicly announce any intention to Transfer any Shares between the Closing Date and the date that is the earlier of (i) four (4) years from the Closing Date and (ii) at the Investor’s option (exercisable by the Investor by delivering
written notice to Parent), any time following the date on which the size of the Parent Board is increased to more than fourteen (14) directors (even if there are two Investor Directors serving on the Parent Board at such time) (such option of
the Investor to terminate the Restricted Period pursuant to this clause (ii), the “Board Size Increase Restricted Period Termination Option”) (such period, the “Restricted Period”); provided that on each
anniversary of the Closing Date on which the Restricted Period remains in effect, such number of Shares as is equal to 25% of the Shares held by the Investor on the date hereof shall be released from, and shall be deemed to not be subject to, the
prohibition on Transfer provided for in this Section 2.1(a). 
 (b) “Permitted Transfer” means, so
long as such Transfer is in accordance with Applicable Law, a Transfer of Shares to an Affiliate of the Investor (a “Permitted Transferee”); provided, that a Permitted Transferee shall agree to be bound by the provisions of
this Agreement by delivering a joinder to this Agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to Parent. In the event that, during the Restricted Period, any Permitted Transferee ceases to be an Affiliate of the Investor, then any prior Transfer to such
Person shall become null and void and ownership and title to any such securities so transferred shall revert to the Investor. 
 (c) Prior to
any Transfer of Shares, the Investor shall provide written notice to Parent at least three (3) Business Days in advance of such Transfer, which notice shall state (i) the expected date of the Transfer, (ii) the total number of Shares
to be transferred and (iii) the identity of the Transferee, if known; provided, that the Investor shall not be required to provide such notice prior to a Transfer effected solely through a bona fide Underwritten Offering pursuant to an
exercise of the registration rights provided in Article V (including any “block trade” registered under the Securities Act) or open market transactions pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act. 

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, including Article V hereof and the expiration or inapplicability of the
Restricted Period, the Investor shall not Transfer any Shares: 
 (i) other than in accordance with all Applicable Law and the other terms
and conditions of this Agreement; 
 (ii) in one or more transactions in which any Person or Group purchases 2% or more of the outstanding
Voting Securities; 
 (iii) to any Person or Group if, after giving effect to such Transfer, such Person or Group would Beneficially Own 5%
or more of the outstanding Voting Securities; or 

  
 11 

 (iv) on any given day in an amount greater than 20% of the average daily trading volume of
Parent Common Stock for the 20-trading day period immediately preceding the date of such Transfer; 
 except, in
each case of clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv), in a Transfer effected (x) solely through a bona fide Underwritten Offering pursuant to an exercise of the registration rights provided in Article V of this Agreement
(including any “block trade” registered under the Securities Act) or open market transactions pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as long as the Investor does not have knowledge that the Transfer would otherwise violate any of
clauses (ii), (iii) or (iv), and instructs the underwriters or broker to use reasonable best efforts to effect as wide a distribution of such Shares as is reasonably practicable without adversely affecting the pricing thereof
and not sell any Shares to any Person or Group if the sale would, to their knowledge, otherwise violate any of clauses (ii), (iii) or (iv), or (y) pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2.2.

 (e) The restrictions set forth in Section 2.1(a) or 2.1(d) shall not apply to Transfers of Shares
pursuant to any sale, merger, consolidation, acquisition (including by way of tender offer or exchange offer or share exchange), recapitalization or other business combination (i) involving Parent or any of its Affiliates pursuant to which more
than 50% of the Voting Securities or the consolidated total assets of Parent and its Affiliates, taken as a whole, would be acquired or received by any Person (other than Parent or its Subsidiaries) in one or a series of related transactions or
(ii) involving the Investor or any Affiliate of the Investor (and not, for the avoidance of doubt, any transaction pursuant to which the Shares are directly transferred in violation of this Agreement) in which (x) the Shares represent less
than 25% of the value of the consolidated total assets of the Investor and its Affiliates that would be acquired or received by any Person (other than the Investor or its Subsidiaries) and (y) if this Agreement is not assumed by such Person by
operation of law, such Person agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement by delivering a joinder to this Agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to Parent. 

(f) Without limiting any other provision of this Article II, prior to any Transfer of Shares (except in a Permitted Transfer), to the
extent permitted by Applicable Law and practicable under the circumstances, the Investor will reasonably cooperate with Parent in formulating a plan for the orderly disposition of such Shares in a manner reasonably and in good faith intended to
minimize any potential adverse effect on the trading price of Parent Common Stock and will keep Parent reasonably informed and updated with respect to its plans for the disposition of such Shares and the anticipated timing thereof. The Investor
agrees to use reasonable best efforts to provide written notification to Parent within five (5) Business Days after the end of each calendar quarter in which it has transferred any Shares, including the number of Shares transferred by the
Investor during the previous month and (other than in the case of a Transfer effected solely through a bona fide Underwritten Offering pursuant to an exercise of the registration rights provided in Article V (including any “block
trade” registered under the Securities Act) or open market transactions pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act in which the identity of the Transferees is not reasonably ascertainable) the identity of any Transferee; provided,
that any public disclosure (including pursuant to the Exchange Act or the Securities Act) regarding a Transfer will be deemed to have satisfied such notification obligations pursuant to this sentence with respect to such Transfer. 

  
 12 

 (g) The right of the Investor or any of its Affiliates or Permitted Transferees to Transfer
Shares Beneficially Owned by such Person is subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 2.1, and no Transfer by any Person of Shares Beneficially Owned by such Person may be effected except in compliance with this
Section 2.1. Any Transfer or attempted Transfer of Shares in violation of this Agreement shall be of no effect and null and void ab initio, regardless of whether the purported Transferee has any actual or
constructive knowledge of the Transfer restrictions set forth in this Agreement, and Parent shall not, and shall instruct its transfer agent and other third parties not to, record or recognize any such purported transaction on the share register of
Parent. 
 (h) Without limiting the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Investor agrees that it will not
Transfer any Shares, except pursuant to an effective registration statement under, and in compliance with the requirements of, the Securities Act, or pursuant to an available exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration
requirements of the Securities Act and in compliance with any applicable state, federal and foreign securities Laws. 
 (i) Any certificates
for Shares shall bear a legend or legends (and appropriate comparable notations or other arrangements will be made with respect to any uncertificated shares) referencing restrictions on Transfer of such Shares under the Securities Act and under this
Agreement, which legend shall state in substance: 
 “THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD,
TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT (I) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), (II) TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE, PURSUANT
TO RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR (III) PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN SECURITIES LAWS. 

THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER SET FORTH IN A INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF
APRIL 1, 2022, AMONG VALLEY NATIONAL BANCORP (THE “COMPANY”) AND CERTAIN OTHER PARTIES THERETO (A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY).” 

  
 13 

 (j) Notwithstanding Section 2.1(i), the holder of any
certificate(s) for Shares shall be entitled to receive from Parent new certificates for a like number of Shares not bearing such legend (or the elimination or termination of such notations or arrangements) upon the request of such holder (i) at
such time as such restrictions are no longer applicable, and (ii) with respect to the restriction on Transfer of such Shares under the Securities Act or any other applicable securities Laws of any other foreign, federal, state, local or other
jurisdiction, unless such Shares are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement, subject to receipt by Parent of an opinion of counsel, which opinion is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Parent and its counsel, that the
restriction referenced in such legend (or such notations or arrangements) is no longer required in order to ensure compliance with the Securities Act or any such other applicable securities Laws of any other foreign, federal, state, local or other
jurisdiction; provided, that such Transfer is permitted under this Agreement. 
 2.2 Exception to Transfer Restrictions.
 
 (a) During the Restricted Period, and subject to Applicable Law, in the event that Parent proposes to issue to one or more third
parties any Parent Common Stock in a capital raising transaction for cash consideration, other than in an Exempt Issuance (a “Parent Share Issuance”): 

(i) the restrictions set forth in Section 2.1(a) shall not apply and the Investor shall be permitted to Transfer
Shares; provided, that such Transfer is made in accordance with Applicable Law and this Section 2.2; 

(ii) Parent shall give the Investor prompt written notice thereof (a “Parent Share Issuance Notice”), which shall specify the
number of shares of Parent Common Stock proposed to be sold, the expected date of such issuance and the expected price (which may be a formula or unspecified future closing price) at which such shares of Parent Common Stock will be sold; and 

(iii) the Investor shall have the right upon written notice to Parent within three (3) Business Days after delivery of such Parent Share
Issuance Notice to participate in the Parent Share Issuance, on a pro rata basis, such that the Investor may sell up to a number of Shares equal to the product of (x) the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be sold in the
Parent Share Issuance and (y) the quotient equal to (in each case measured as of immediately prior to such Parent Share Issuance) (A) the aggregate number of Shares then owned by the Investor divided by (B) the total number of shares
of Parent Common Stock then outstanding; 
 provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing or the delivery of a Parent Share Issuance Notice, Parent
shall reserve the right to abandon and not consummate any Parent Share Issuance at any time in its sole discretion, and in the event any Parent Share Issuance is so abandoned, the Investor shall not have any rights to require Parent to sell any
Shares in connection therewith. 
 (b) An “Exempt Issuance” means an offer, sale or issuance of Parent Common Stock: 

(i) to officers, employees, service providers or directors of Parent or any of its Affiliates pursuant to a profit sharing or other equity
compensation or incentive plan (including any employee stock ownership plan, or other compensation agreements or arrangements), or in connection with any dividend or distribution reinvestment plan; 

  
 14 

 (ii) in connection with any direct or indirect merger, acquisition, stock or asset
purchase, joint venture, reorganization, consolidation, business combination or similar transaction involving Parent or any of its Affiliates, whether an issuance directly to the shareholders of the counterparty to such transaction, or otherwise
conducted to facilitate such transaction (including to meet pro forma capital level objectives or to facilitate the payment of cash consideration in connection with any such transaction); 

(iii) pursuant to or in connection with any regulatory order, directive or instruction to meet minimum or recommended capital levels (a
“Regulatory Exempt Issuance”); 
 (iv) in exchange for or upon the exercise or conversion of any options, warrants,
convertible notes or similar rights or derivative securities that are or may become convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Parent Common Stock; or 

(v) in connection with any stock split, stock dividend, subdivision, recapitalization, exchange or similar reorganization. 

2.3 Standstill Provisions.  

(a) During the Standstill Period, the Investor shall not, directly or indirectly, and shall not permit any of its Controlled Affiliates or any
of its Representatives acting on its behalf or at its direction, directly or indirectly, to: 
 (i) acquire, agree to acquire, propose or
offer to acquire, facilitate the acquisition or ownership of, or solicit the acquisition of, by purchase, tender or exchange offer, through the acquisition of control of another Person (including by way of merger or consolidation), by joining a
partnership, syndicate or other Group, through the use of a derivative instrument or voting agreement, or otherwise, Beneficial Ownership of any Voting Securities, or securities of Parent that are convertible, exchangeable or exercisable into Voting
Securities, other than (A) as a result of any stock split, stock dividend, subdivision, recapitalization or similar reorganization of Voting Securities effected by Parent or (B) issuances by Parent of Voting Securities or options, warrants
or other rights to acquire Voting Securities (or the exercise thereof) to any Investor Director as compensation for his or her membership on the Parent Board; provided that, in the event of any offer, sale or issuance of Parent Common Stock or other
Equity Interests of Parent following the Closing Date, this clause (i) shall not prohibit the Investor from acquiring securities of Parent in order to maintain the Investor Percentage Interest as of the Closing Date; 

(ii) deposit any Voting Securities into a voting trust or similar Contract or subject any Voting Securities to any voting agreement, pooling
arrangement or similar arrangement or other Contract, or grant any proxy with respect to any Voting Securities (other than (A) pursuant to Section 1.10 or (B) otherwise to Parent or a Person specified by Parent in
a proxy card provided to shareholders of Parent by or on behalf of Parent ); 
 (iii) enter, agree to enter, publicly propose or offer to
enter into, or make any public announcement with respect to, or knowingly facilitate or encourage, any merger, business combination, recapitalization, restructuring, change in control transaction, sale of all or a material portion of the assets of
Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or other similar extraordinary transaction involving Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (unless such transaction is affirmatively publicly recommended by the Parent Board and there has otherwise been no breach of
this Section 2.3 in connection with or relating to such transaction); 

  
 15 

 (iv) make, or knowingly facilitate, encourage or otherwise participate or engage in, any

(vii) otherwise act, alone or in concert with others, to seek to control or influence the management or the policies of Parent
(provided, that this clause (vii) shall in no way limit the activities of any Investor Director taken in good faith in his or her capacity as a Director);

the underlying Voting Securities to any third party;

by, or inconsistent with, the foregoing; or 
 (x) advise, assist, knowingly encourage, knowingly act as a financing source for, enter into

any time (A) initiate and engage in private discussions with, and submit non-public, confidential proposals to, the Parent Board (or any committee or other designee thereof) or (B) make a
confidential request to Parent seeking an amendment or waiver of this Section 2.3(a), in each case so long as such proposals or requests do not require public disclosure and the making of such proposal or request would not
reasonably be expected to require Parent to make a public announcement of its receipt and (2) for the avoidance of doubt, (A) (x) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and (y) the Investor’s
exercise of its rights or the performance of its obligations in accordance with any other Transaction Documents shall not be deemed violations of this Section 2.3(a) and (B) nothing in this
Section 2.3(a) shall limit the ability of any Investor Director to vote or otherwise exercise its fiduciary duties, in each case in such Investor Director’s capacity as a member of the Parent Board or the Parent Bank

 16 

 (b) The Investor further agrees that, during the Standstill Period, it shall not, directly
or indirectly, and shall not permit any of its Controlled Affiliates or any of its Representatives acting on its behalf or at its direction, directly or indirectly, to (x) publicly request Parent to amend or waive any provision of this
Section 2.3 (including this sentence) or (y) take any action that would reasonably be expected to require Parent to make a public announcement regarding the possibility of a business combination, merger or other type
of transaction or any other matter described in this Section 2.3. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this
Section 2.3 shall not prevent, limit or affect in any matter whatsoever, (i) the Investor or any of its Affiliates from engaging in any activities on behalf of clients in connection with brokerage, custodial,
discretionary and other money and asset management, mutual and other similar fund or research businesses, activities and services in the ordinary course of its business; provided that the purpose of the Investor or its Affiliates is not to
avoid the provisions of this Section 2.3, (ii) the Investor from designating any Investor Designee in accordance with this Agreement or taking any action to cause such Investor Designee to be appointed to the Parent Board
or the Parent Bank Board (or any committee of the Parent Board or the Parent Bank Board) or (iii) the ability of any Investor Director to vote or otherwise exercise its fiduciary duties, in each case in such Investor Director’s capacity as
a member of the Parent Board or the Parent Bank Board (or any committee of the Parent Board or the Parent Bank Board). 
 (d)
“Standstill Period” means the period from the Closing Date until the Second Threshold Date. 
 (e) The restrictions in this
Section 2.3 shall not apply during any Material Parent Breach Period; it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that the restrictions in this Section 2.3 shall apply from and after
termination of any Material Parent Breach Period by reason of a cure of the material breach giving rise to such Material Parent Breach Period. 

2.4 Preemptive Rights.  

(a) Until the Second Threshold Date, if Parent proposes to issue a number of shares of Parent Common Stock constituting more than 2% of the
shares of Common Stock of Parent then outstanding, other than in an Exempt Issuance, then Parent shall: 
 (i) give written notice to the
Investor Parties (no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the closing of such issuance or, if Parent reasonably expects such issuance to be completed in less than five (5) Business Days, such shorter period (which shall not be less
than three (3) Business Days, and which shall be as long as commercially practicable), setting forth in reasonable detail (A) the expected price (which may be a formula or unspecified future closing price) and other terms of the proposed
sale of such Parent Common Stock and (B) the amount of such Parent Common Stock proposed to be issued (the “Proposed Securities”); provided that following the delivery of such notice, Parent shall deliver to the Investor
Parties any such information the Investor Parties may reasonably request in order to evaluate the proposed issuance, except that Parent shall not be required to deliver any information that has not been or will not be provided or otherwise made
available to the other proposed purchasers of the Proposed Securities; and 

  
 17 

 (ii) offer to issue and sell to the Investor Parties, on such terms as the Proposed
Securities are issued and upon full payment by the Investor Parties, a portion of the Proposed Securities (in the aggregate, pro rata among the Investor Parties) equal to the Investor Percentage Interest (calculated as of immediately prior to the
issuance of the Proposed Securities). 
 (b) The Investor will have the option, on behalf of the applicable Investor Parties, exercisable by
irrevocable written notice to Parent, to accept Parent’s offer and irrevocably commit to purchase any or all of the Proposed Securities offered to be sold by Parent to the Investor Parties on the terms specified in such notice from Parent,
which notice must be given within three (3) Business Days after receipt of such notice from Parent (or such shorter period if the notice by Parent was sent in accordance with the preceding paragraph less than three (3) Business Days prior
to the proposed issuance date, and in no event less than two (2) Business Days) (the failure of the Investor to respond within such time period shall be deemed a waiver of the Investor Parties’ rights under this
Section 2.4 with respect to the applicable issuance of Proposed Securities). The closing of the exercise of such subscription right shall take place simultaneously with the closing of the sale of the Proposed Securities
giving rise to such subscription right; provided, however, that the closing of any purchase by the Investor Parties may be extended beyond the closing of the sale of the Proposed Securities giving rise to such preemptive right to the extent
necessary to obtain required approvals from any Governmental Authority. Upon the expiration of the offering period described above, Parent will be free to sell such Proposed Securities that the Investor Parties have not elected to purchase during
the 90 days following such expiration on terms and conditions not materially more favorable to the purchasers thereof than those offered to the Investor Parties in the notice delivered in accordance with Section 2.4(a). Any
Proposed Securities offered or sold by Parent after such 90-day period must be reoffered to issue or sell to the Investor Parties pursuant to and subject to the terms of this
Section 2.4. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.4 to the contrary, Parent shall not be under any obligation to consummate any proposed issuance of Proposed Securities giving rise to the
preemptive rights set forth in this Section 2.4, and there shall be no liability on the part of Parent or any other person to any of the Investor Parties, their Affiliates or any other person if Parent does not consummate a
previously proposed issuance of Proposed securities, regardless of whether the Investor Parties have delivered an irrevocable notice pursuant to this Section 2.4(b). 

(c) The election by the Investor, on behalf of the applicable Investor Parties, not to exercise its subscription rights under this
Section 2.4 in any one instance shall not affect their right as to any subsequent proposed issuance. 
 (d) In the
case of an issuance subject to this Section 2.4(d) for consideration in whole or in part other than cash, including securities acquired in exchange therefor (other than securities by their terms so exchangeable), the
consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair market value thereof as reasonably determined in good faith by the Parent Board. 

(e) Parent shall have no obligations pursuant to this Section 2.4 (including any obligation to offer to issue and
sell to the Investor Parties any Proposed Securities) if the Parent board reasonably determines in good faith, after consultation with the Investor and supported by the written advice of outside counsel to Parent, that the exercise of the Investor
Parties’ rights under this Section 2.4 would reasonably be expected to result in a materially adverse tax, accounting, legal or regulatory consequence to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (which for the avoidance of
doubt does not include the occurrence of a CBC Act Effect).

 ARTICLE V 

REGISTRATION 

5.1 Demand Registrations. 

(a) From and after the expiration of the Restricted Period, subject to the terms and conditions hereof (x) solely during any period that
Parent is then-ineligible under Applicable Law to register Registrable Securities on Form S-3 pursuant to Section 5.3 or (y) following the expiration of Parent’s obligation
to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective pursuant to Section 5.3(b), but only if there is no Shelf Registration Statement then in effect, the Investor shall be entitled to make five (5) written
requests of Parent (each, a “Demand”) for registration under the Securities Act of an amount of Registrable Securities then held by the Investor that equals or is greater than the Registrable Amount (a “Demand
Registration”); provided that Investor shall not be entitled to make more than two (2) Demands during any twelve (12)-month period. Thereupon Parent will, subject to the terms of this Agreement, use its commercially reasonable efforts
to effect the registration as promptly as practicable under the Securities Act of: 
 (i) the Registrable Securities which Parent has been
so requested to register by the Investor for disposition in accordance with the intended method of disposition stated in such Demand; and 

(ii) all shares of Parent Common Stock which Parent may elect to register in connection with any offering of Registrable Securities pursuant
to this Section 5.1; 
 but, in each case, subject to Section 5.1(g), and all to the extent necessary to
permit the orderly disposition (in accordance with the intended methods thereof) of the Registrable Securities and the additional shares of Parent Common Stock, if any, to be so registered; provided, that Parent may use a registration
statement on Form S-3 or any successor form thereto if Parent would qualify to use such form within thirty (30) days after the date on which the Demand Registration is given and Parent shall not be
required to file such registration statement until it is so qualified. 
 (b) A Demand shall specify: (i) the number of Registrable
Securities requested to be registered in such Demand Registration, (ii) the intended method of disposition in connection with such Demand Registration, to the extent then known, including whether such Demand Registration will be an Underwritten
Offering and (iii) the estimated gross proceeds of such Demand Registration, which may not be less than the Registrable Amount. 
 (c) A
Demand Registration shall not be deemed to have been effected and shall not count as a Demand Registration (i) unless a registration statement with respect thereto has become effective and has remained effective for a period of at least sixty
(60) days or such shorter period in which all Registrable Securities included in such Demand Registration have actually been sold thereunder (provided, that such period shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period the
holder of Registrable Securities refrains from selling any securities included in such registration statement at the request of Parent or the lead managing underwriter(s) pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement) or (ii) if, after it has
become effective, such Demand Registration becomes subject, prior to sixty (60) days after effectiveness, to any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the Commission or other Governmental Authority such that no sales are
possible thereunder for a period of ten (10) consecutive days or more, other than by reason of any act or omission by the Investor. 

  
 23 

 (d) Demand Registrations shall be on such appropriate registration form of the Commission as
shall be reasonably selected by Parent and reasonably acceptable to the Investor. 
 (e) Parent shall not be obligated to (i) subject to
Section 5.1(b), maintain the effectiveness of a registration statement under the Securities Act filed pursuant to a Demand Registration for a period longer than ninety (90) days or (ii) effect any Demand
Registration (A) within six (6) months of a “firm commitment” Underwritten Offering in which the Investor was offered “piggyback” rights pursuant to Section 5.2 (subject to
Section 5.2(b)) and at least 75% of the number of Registrable Securities requested by the Investor to be included in such Demand Registration were included and sold, (B) within six (6) months of the
completion of any other Demand Registration (including any Underwritten Offering pursuant to any Shelf Registration Statement), (C) if, in Parent’s reasonable judgment, it is not feasible for Parent to proceed with the Demand Registration
because of the unavailability of audited or other required financial statements or other required information; provided, that Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such financial statements or information as promptly
as practicable or (D) for an amount that is less than the Registrable Amount. 
 (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, Parent shall be entitled to postpone (upon written notice to the Investor) the filing or the effectiveness of, or suspend the use of, a registration statement for any Demand Registration in the event of a Blackout Period
until the expiration of the applicable Blackout Period. The Investor agrees to suspend the use of any registration statement in connection with any sale or purchase, or offer to sell or purchase, Registrable Securities upon receipt of such notice.
In the event of a Blackout Period under clause (ii) of the definition thereof, Parent shall deliver to the Investor a certificate signed by either the chief executive officer or the chief financial officer of Parent certifying that the
conditions described in clause (ii) of the definition of Blackout Period are met. 
 (g) If, in connection with a Demand
Registration that involves an Underwritten Offering, the lead managing underwriter(s) advise(s) Parent that, in its (their) opinion, the inclusion of all of the securities sought to be registered in connection with such Demand Registration would
adversely affect the price, timing or distribution of the securities offered, the market for the securities offered or the success of such Demand Registration, then Parent shall include in such registration statement only such securities as Parent
is advised by such lead managing underwriter(s) can be sold without such adverse effect as follows and in the following order of priority: (i) first, up to the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Demand
Registration by the Investor, which, in the opinion of the lead managing underwriter(s), can be sold without such an effect; (ii) second, securities Parent proposes to sell; and (iii) third, all other securities of Parent duly requested to
be included in such registration statement, pro rata on the basis of the amount of such other securities requested to be included or such other allocation method determined by Parent. 

  
 24 

 (h) Any time that a Demand Registration involves an Underwritten Offering, the Investor
shall select the investment banker(s) and manager(s) that will serve as managing underwriters (including which such managing underwriters will serve as lead or co-lead) and underwriters with respect to the
offering of such Registrable Securities; provided, that such investment banker(s) and manager(s) shall be acceptable to Parent (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). 

(i) The Investor may, by written notice to Parent, withdraw its Registrable Securities from a Demand Registration at any time prior to the
effectiveness of the applicable registration statement; provided, that the Investor reimburses Parent for all reasonable, out-of-pocket expenses incurred by
Parent in connection with such Demand Registration. Upon receipt of notice from the Investor to such effect, or if such withdrawal shall reduce the number of Registrable Securities sought to be included in such Demand Registration below the
Registrable Amount, Parent shall cease all efforts to seek effectiveness of the applicable registration statement, unless Parent intends to effect a primary offering of securities pursuant to such registration statement. In any such event, such
Demand Registration shall count as a Demand Registration for purposes of the limitations set forth in Section 5.1(a). 

5.2 Piggyback Registrations.  

(a) From and after the expiration of the Restricted Period, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, whenever Parent proposes to register
any Parent Common Stock under the Securities Act (other than a registration by Parent (i) on Form S-4 or any successor form thereto (or similar form that relates to a transaction subject to Rule 145 under
the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto), (ii) on Form S-8 or any successor form thereto (or other registration solely relating to an offering or sale to employees or directors of Parent pursuant to
any employee stock plan or other employee benefit arrangement), (iii) on a Shelf Registration Statement, (iv) in connection with any dividend or distribution reinvestment or similar plan or (v) pursuant to
Section 5.1) (such registration other than those referred to in the immediately preceding parenthetical, a “Piggyback Registration”), whether for its own account or for the account of others, Parent shall
give the Investor prompt written notice thereof (but not less than seven (7) Business Days prior to the filing by Parent with the Commission of any registration statement with respect thereto). Such notice (a “Piggyback
Notice”) shall specify the number of shares of Parent Common Stock proposed to be registered, the proposed date of filing of such registration statement with the Commission, the proposed means of distribution, the proposed managing
underwriter(s) (if any) and a good faith estimate by Parent of the proposed minimum offering price of such shares of Parent Common Stock, in each case to the extent then known. Subject to Section 5.2(b), Parent shall
include in each such Piggyback Registration all Registrable Securities held by the Investor with respect to which Parent has received a written request (which written request shall specify the number of Registrable Securities requested to be
disposed of by the Investor) for inclusion therein within four (4) Business Days after such Piggyback Notice is received by the Investor. 

(b) If, in connection with a Piggyback Registration that involves an Underwritten Offering, the lead managing underwriter(s) advises Parent
that, in its opinion, the inclusion of all the shares of Parent Common Stock sought to be included in such Piggyback Registration by (i) Parent, (ii) other Persons who have sought to have shares of Parent Common Stock registered in such
Piggyback Registration pursuant to rights to demand (other than pursuant to so-called “piggyback” or other incidental or participation registration rights) such registration (such Persons being
“Other Demanding Sellers”), (iii) the Investor and (iv) any other proposed 

  
 25 

 
sellers of shares of Parent Common Stock (such Persons being “Other Proposed Sellers”), as the case may be, would adversely affect the price, timing or distribution of the
securities offered, the market for the securities offered or the success of such Piggyback Registration, then Parent shall include in the registration statement applicable to such Piggyback Registration only such shares of Parent Common Stock as
Parent is so advised by such lead managing underwriter(s) can be sold without such an effect, as follows and in the following order of priority: 

(i) if the Piggyback Registration relates to an offering for Parent’s own account, then (A) first, such number of shares of Parent
Common Stock to be sold by Parent, and (B) second, Registrable Securities of the Investor and shares of Parent Common Stock sought to be registered by Other Demanding Sellers and by Other Proposed Sellers, pro rata on the basis of the number of
Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by the Investor and the number of shares of Parent Common Stock proposed to be sold by such Other Demanding Sellers and by such Other Proposed Sellers; or 

(ii) if the Piggyback Registration relates to an offering other than for Parent’s own account, then (A) first, such number of shares
of Parent Common Stock sought to be registered by the Other Demanding Sellers, (B) second, shares of Parent Common Stock to be sold by Parent, and (C) third, Registrable Securities of the Investor and shares of Parent Common Stock sought
to be registered by Other Proposed Sellers, pro rata on the basis of the number of shares of Parent Common Stock proposed to be sold by the Investor and the number of shares of Parent Common Stock proposed to be sold by such Other Proposed Sellers.

 (c) In connection with any Underwritten Offering under this Section 5.2, Parent shall not be required to include
the Registrable Securities of the Investor in the Underwritten Offering unless the Investor accepts the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between Parent and the lead managing underwriter(s), which shall be selected by the Parent. 

(d) If, at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any shares of Parent Common Stock as set forth in this
Section 5.2, Parent shall determine for any reason not to register such shares of Parent Common Stock, Parent may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to the Investor and thereupon shall be relieved
of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such particular withdrawn or abandoned Piggyback Registration. 

5.3 Shelf Registration Statement.  

(a) From and after the expiration of the Restricted Period, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, and further subject to the availability
of a registration statement on Form S-3 or any successor form thereto (“Form S-3”) to Parent, the Investor may by written notice delivered to Parent
(the “Shelf Notice”) require Parent to use commercially reasonable efforts to file as soon as reasonably practicable, and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be declared effective by the Commission as soon as
reasonably practicable after such filing date, a Form S-3 providing for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (the “Shelf Registration
Statement”) relating to the offer and sale, from time to time, of an amount of Registrable Securities then held by the Investor that equals or is greater than the Registrable Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that upon
the expiration of 

  
 26 

 
the Restricted Period, Parent is a well-known seasoned issuer (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act), a Shelf Notice shall not be required and Parent shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to file, as soon as reasonably practicable following the expiration of the Restricted Period, the Shelf Registration Statement in the form of an automatic shelf registration statement (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) or any
successor form thereto registering all Registrable Securities then held by the Investor. Parent shall be deemed to have satisfied its obligations under this Section 5.3(a) if such Registrable Securities have been registered
on the Shelf Registration Statement contemplated by Section 5.16 of the Merger Agreement and for so long as such Registration Statement remains effective, it being understood that, notwithstanding the effectiveness of such Registration
Statement or anything herein to the contrary, the Investor shall not be entitled to deliver a Take-Down Notice until the expiration of the Restricted Period, and the Transfer restrictions contained in Article II shall continue to apply in all
respects in accordance with their terms. 
 (b) Subject to Section 5.3(c), Parent will use its commercially
reasonable efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until the earlier of (i) three (3) years after the Shelf Registration Statement has been declared effective; (ii) the date on which
all Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement have been sold thereunder in accordance with the plan and method of distribution disclosed in the prospectus included in the Shelf Registration Statement, or otherwise cease to
be Registrable Securities; and (iii) the date on which this Agreement terminates pursuant to Section 8.1. 

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Parent shall be entitled, from time to time, by providing written
notice to the Investor, to require the Investor to suspend the use of the prospectus for sales of Registrable Securities under the Shelf Registration Statement during any Blackout Period and the Investor agrees to suspend the use of the prospectus
for sales of Registrable Securities under the Shelf Registration Statement in connection with any sale or purchase, or offer to sell or purchase, Registrable Securities upon receipt of such notice. In the event of a Blackout Period under clause
(ii) of the definition thereof, Parent shall deliver to the Investor a certificate signed by either the chief executive officer or the chief financial officer of Parent certifying that the conditions described in clause (ii) of
the definition of Blackout Period are met. 
 (d) At any time that a Shelf Registration Statement is effective, if the Investor delivers a
notice to Parent (a “Take-Down Notice”) stating that it intends to sell all or part of its Registrable Securities included by it on the Shelf Registration Statement in an Underwritten Offering (a “Shelf
Offering”), then Parent shall promptly amend or supplement the Shelf Registration Statement as may be necessary in order to enable such Registrable Securities to be distributed pursuant to the Shelf Offering; provided, that Parent
shall not be obligated to effect more than two (2) Shelf Offerings during any twelve (12)-month period or to effect any Shelf Offering for less than the Registrable Amount. 

  
 27 

 (e) In connection with any Shelf Offering, if the lead managing underwriter(s) advises
Parent and the Investor that, in its opinion, the inclusion of all of the securities sought to be sold in connection with such Shelf Offering would adversely affect the price, timing or distribution of the securities offered, the market for the
securities offered or the success of such Shelf Offering, then there shall be included in such Shelf Offering only such securities as the Investor is advised by such lead managing underwriter(s) can be sold without such adverse effect, and such
number of Registrable Securities shall be allocated in the same manner as described in Section 5.1(g). Except as otherwise expressly specified in this Section 5.3, any Shelf Offering shall be
subject to the same requirements, limitations and other provisions of this Article V as would be applicable to a Demand Registration (i.e., as if such Shelf Offering were a Demand Registration), including
Section 5.1(e)(ii), Section 5.1(g) and Section 5.1(i). 
 (f)
If any of the Registrable Securities is to be sold in a Shelf Offering initiated by the Investor, the Investor shall select the investment banker(s) and manager(s) that will serve as managing underwriters (including which such managing underwriters
will serve as lead or co-lead) and underwriters with respect to the offering of such Registrable Securities; provided, that such investment banker(s) and manager(s) shall be acceptable to Parent (such
acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). 
 5.4 Holdback Agreements. In connection with any Underwritten
Offering, the Investor agrees to enter into customary agreements restricting the public sale or distribution of equity securities of Parent (including sales pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act) to the extent required by the lead managing
underwriter(s) with respect to an applicable Underwritten Offering during the period commencing on the date of the request (which shall be no earlier than seven (7) days prior to the expected “pricing” of such Underwritten Offering)
and continuing for not more than ninety (90) days after the date of the “final” prospectus (or “final” prospectus supplement if the Underwritten Offering is made pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement), pursuant to which
such Underwritten Offering shall be made, or such lesser period as is required by the lead managing underwriter(s). If any Demand Registration or Shelf Offering involves an Underwritten Offering, Parent will not effect any public sale or
distribution of any common equity (or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for common equity) (other than a registration statement on Form S-4, Form
S-8 or any successor forms thereto) for its own account, within sixty (60) days after the effective date of such registration except as may otherwise be agreed between Parent and the lead managing
underwriter(s) of such Underwritten Offering. 
 5.5 Registration Procedures.  

(a) If and whenever Parent is required to use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under
the Securities Act as provided in Section 5.1 or Section 5.3, Parent shall as promptly as reasonably practicable: 

(i) prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement to effect such registration in accordance with the intended method or
methods of distribution of such securities and thereafter use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become and remain effective pursuant to the terms of this Article V; provided, however, that
Parent may discontinue any registration of its securities which are not Registrable Securities at any time prior to the effective date of the registration statement relating thereto; provided, further, that before filing such
registration statement or any amendments thereto, Parent will furnish to the Investor, its counsel and the lead managing underwriter(s), if any, copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents will be subject to the review and
reasonable comment of such counsel, and other documents reasonably requested by such counsel, including any comment 

  
 28 

 
letter from the Commission, and, if requested by such counsel, provide such counsel reasonable opportunity to participate in the preparation of such registration statement and each prospectus
included therein and such other opportunities to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act, including reasonable access to Parent’s books and records, officers, accountants and other advisors; provided,
that Parent shall not have any obligation to modify any information if Parent reasonably expects that so doing would cause (i) the registration statement to contain an 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 not misleading or (ii) the prospectus to contain an untrue statement of a material fact or to omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; 
 (ii) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments
and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective pursuant to the terms of this Article V, and comply with the provisions of the

 (iii) if requested by the lead
managing underwriter(s), if any, or the holders of a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Securities being sold in connection with an Underwritten Offering, as promptly as reasonably practicable, include in a prospectus supplement or
post-effective amendment such information as the lead managing underwriter(s), if any, and such holders may reasonably request in order to permit the intended method of distribution of such securities and make all required filings of such prospectus
supplement or such post-effective amendment as soon as reasonably practicable after Parent has received such request; provided, however, that Parent shall not be required to take any actions under this
Section 5.5(a)(iii) that are not, in the opinion of counsel for Parent, in compliance with Applicable Law; 
 (iv)
furnish to the Investor and each underwriter, if any, of the securities being sold by the Investor such number of conformed copies of such registration statement and of each amendment and supplement thereto, such number of copies of the prospectus
contained in such registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus and any summary prospectus) and each free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act) (a “Free Writing Prospectus”) utilized in
connection therewith and any other prospectus filed under Rule 424 under the Securities Act, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as the Investor and underwriter, if any, may reasonably request in order
to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by the Investor; 
 (v) use commercially reasonable
efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the Investor, the underwriters, if any, and their respective counsel in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from such registration or qualification) of such Registrable
Securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities laws or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions as the Investor and any underwriter of the securities being sold by the Investor shall reasonably request, and to
keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the period such registration statement is required to be kept effective and take any other action which may be necessary to enable the Investor and underwriters
to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities owned by the Investor, except that Parent shall not for any such purpose be required to (A) qualify generally to do business as a foreign corporation in any
jurisdiction wherein it would not but for the requirements of this clause (v) be obligated to be so qualified, (B) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or (C) file a general consent to service of process in any
such jurisdiction; 

  
 29 

 (vi) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registrable Securities to be listed
on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by Parent are then listed; 
 (vii) use commercially reasonable efforts to
provide and cause to be maintained a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement from and after a date not later than the effective date of such registration statement; 

(viii) enter into such agreements (including an underwriting agreement in form, scope and substance as is customary in underwritten offerings,
which the Investor shall also be required to enter into) and use its commercially reasonable efforts to take all such other actions reasonably requested by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold in connection therewith
(including those reasonably requested by the lead managing underwriter(s), if any) to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities; 

(ix) in connection with an Underwritten Offering, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain for the Investor and underwriter(s) (A)
opinions of counsel for Parent, covering the legal matters customarily covered in opinions requested of legal counsel to issuers in underwritten secondary offerings and (B) “comfort” letters and updates thereof (or, in the case of any such
Person which does not satisfy the conditions for receipt of a “comfort” letter specified in Statement on Auditing Standards No. 72, an “agreed upon procedures” letter) signed by the independent public accountants who have
certified Parent’s financial statements and, to the extent required, any other financial statements included in such registration statement, covering the matters customarily covered in “comfort” letters in connection with underwritten
offerings; 
 (x) make available for inspection by the Investor, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to any
registration statement, and any attorney, accountant or other agent or representative retained in connection with such offering by the Investor or underwriter (collectively, the “Inspectors”), financial and other records, pertinent
corporate documents and instruments of Parent and other relevant information of Parent (collectively, the “Records”), as shall be reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility; provided,
however, that Parent shall not be required to provide any information under this clause (x) if (A) Parent believes, after consultation with counsel for Parent, that to do so would cause Parent to forfeit an attorney-client or
other applicable privilege that was applicable to such information or (B) if either (1) Parent has requested and been granted from the Commission confidential treatment of such information contained in any filing with the Commission or
documents provided supplementally or otherwise or (2) Parent reasonably determines in good faith that such Records are confidential and so notifies the Inspectors in writing; unless, prior to furnishing any such information with respect to
clause (1) or (2), the Investor enters into, and causes each of its Inspectors to enter into, a confidentiality agreement on terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to Parent; provided, further, that the Investor
agrees that it will, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in a court of competent jurisdiction or by another Governmental Authority, give notice to Parent and allow Parent, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action seeking
to prevent disclosure of the Records deemed confidential; 

  
 30 

 (xi) as promptly as practicable notify the Investor and the underwriters, if any, of the
following events: (A) the filing of the registration statement, any amendment thereto, the prospectus or any prospectus supplement related thereto or post-effective amendment to the registration statement or any Free Writing Prospectus utilized
in connection therewith, and, with respect to the registration statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, when the same has become effective; (B) any request by the Commission or any other U.S. or state governmental authority for
amendments or supplements to the registration statement or the prospectus or for additional information; (C) the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement or the initiation of any
proceedings by any Person for that purpose; (D) the receipt by Parent of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or “blue sky” laws of any
jurisdiction or the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose; (E) if at any time the representations and warranties of Parent contained in any underwriting agreement contemplated by Section 5.5(a)(viii)
cease to be true and correct in any material respect; and (F) upon becoming aware of the happening of any event that makes any statement made in such registration statement or related prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be
incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in such registration statement, prospectus or documents so that, in the case of the registration statement, 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 not misleading, and that in the case of the prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and, at the request of the Investor, promptly prepare and furnish to the Investor a
reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such registration statement or prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus shall not include 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 light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; 

(xii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement,
or the lifting of any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction at the earliest reasonable practicable date, except that Parent shall not for any such purpose
be required to (A) qualify generally to do business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction wherein it would not but for the requirements of this clause (xii) be obligated to be so qualified, (B) subject itself to taxation
in any such jurisdiction or (C) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction; 
 (xiii) cooperate with the
Investor and the lead managing underwriter(s) to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (which shall not bear any restrictive legends unless required under Applicable Law) representing securities sold under any registration
statement, and enable such securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the lead managing underwriter(s) or the Investor may request and keep available and make available to Parent’s transfer agent prior to the
effectiveness of such registration statement a supply of such certificates; 

  
 31 

 (xiv) cooperate with each seller of Registrable Securities and each underwriter or agent
participating in the disposition of such Registrable Securities and their respective counsel in connection with any filings required to be made with FINRA; and 

(xv) have appropriate officers of Parent prepare and make presentations at a reasonable and customary number of “road shows” and
before analysts and rating agencies, as the case may be, and other information meetings reasonably organized by the underwriters and otherwise use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate as reasonably requested by the Investor and the
underwriters in the offering, marketing or selling of the Registrable Securities. 
 (b) Parent may require the Investor and each
underwriter, if any, to furnish Parent in writing such information regarding the Investor or underwriter and the distribution of such Registrable Securities as Parent may from time to time reasonably request in writing to complete or amend the
information required by such registration statement. The Investor shall as promptly as practicable notify in writing Parent and the underwriters, if any, with respect to any registered offering of Registrable Securities if at any time the
representations and warranties of the Investor contained in any underwriting agreement cease to be true and correct in any material respect and upon becoming aware of the happening of any event that makes any statement made in such registration
statement or related prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, to the extent based on information provided by the Investor, untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in
such registration statement, prospectus or documents so that, in the case of the registration statement, 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 not misleading, and that in the case of the prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent based on information provided by the Investor. 
 (c)
The Investor agrees that upon receipt of any notice from Parent of the happening of any event of the kind described in clauses (B), (C), (D), (E) and (F) of Section 5.5(a)(xi), the
Investor shall forthwith discontinue the Investor’s disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the applicable registration statement and prospectus relating thereto until the Investor’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or
amended prospectus contemplated by Section 5.5(a)(xi), or until it is advised in writing by Parent that the use of the applicable prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings
that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such prospectus; provided, however, that Parent shall extend the time periods under Section 5.1(b) with respect to the length of time that the
effectiveness of a registration statement must be maintained by the amount of time the holder is required to discontinue disposition of such securities. 

  
 32 

 (d) With a view to making available to the holders of Registrable Securities the benefits of
Rule 144 under the Securities Act and any other rule or regulation of the Commission that may at any time permit a holder to sell securities of Parent to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration on Form S-3 (or any successor form), Parent shall: 
 (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to make and keep
public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act; 
 (ii) use commercially
reasonable efforts to file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of Parent under the Exchange Act, at any time when Parent is subject to such reporting requirements; and 

(iii) furnish to any holder so long as the holder owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, a written statement by Parent as to its
compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act and of the Exchange Act, a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of Parent, and such other reports and documents so filed or furnished by Parent with the
Commission as such holder may reasonably request in connection with the sale of Registrable Securities without registration (in each case to the extent not readily publicly available). 

5.6 Registration Expenses. All fees and expenses incident to Parent’s performance of its obligations under this Article V,
including (a) all registration and filing fees, including all fees and expenses of compliance with securities and “blue sky” laws and all fees and expenses associated with filings required to be made with FINRA (including, if
applicable, the fees and expenses of any “qualified independent underwriter” as such term is defined in FINRA Rule 5121), (b) all printing (including expenses of printing certificates for the Registrable Securities in a form eligible for
deposit with the Depository Trust Company and of printing prospectuses if the printing of prospectuses is requested by a holder of Registrable Securities) and copying expenses, (c) all messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, (d) all
fees and expenses of Parent’s independent certified public accountants and counsel (including with respect to “comfort” letters and opinions) and (e) expenses of Parent incurred in connection with any “road show”, shall
be borne solely by Parent whether or not any registration statement is filed or becomes effective. The Investor shall pay (i) all underwriters’, brokers’ or dealers’ discounts or commissions and transfer taxes, if any, relating
to the sale of the Investor’s Registrable Securities pursuant to any registration, (ii) all underwriters’, brokers’ or dealers’ expenses, including road show and travel expenses and (iii) its legal fees and expenses.

 5.7 Miscellaneous.  

(a) Not less than five (5) Business Days before the expected filing date of each registration statement pursuant to this Agreement, Parent
shall notify the Investor, if the Investor has timely provided the requisite notice hereunder entitling the Investor to register Registrable Securities in such registration statement, of the information, documents and instruments from the Investor
that Parent or any underwriter reasonably requests in connection with such registration statement, including a questionnaire, custody agreement, power of attorney, lock-up letter and underwriting agreement
(the “Requested Information”). If Parent has not received, on or before the second (2nd) Business Day before the expected filing date, the Requested Information from the Investor, Parent may file the registration statement without
including Registrable Securities of the Investor. The failure to so include in any registration statement the Registrable Securities of the Investor (with regard to that registration statement) shall not result in any liability on the part of Parent
to such holder. 

  
 33 

 5.8 Registration Indemnification.  

(a) Parent agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Investor and its Affiliates and their
respective officers, directors, employees, accountants, attorneys and agents and each Person who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) the Investor or such other indemnified
Person and the officers, directors, employees, accountants, attorneys and agents of each such controlling Person, from and against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs, expenses (including reasonable expenses of investigation and
reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), judgments, fines, penalties, charges and amounts paid in settlement (collectively, the “Losses”), as incurred, arising out of or resulting from any untrue statement (or alleged untrue
statement) of a material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus filed pursuant to this Agreement or any amendment or supplement thereto or any omission (or alleged omission) of a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (without limitation of the preceding portions of this
Section 5.8(a)) will reimburse the Investor, each of its Affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, accountants, attorneys and agents, and each such Person who controls the Investor and the
officers, directors, employees, accountants, attorneys and agents of each such controlling Person, for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and defending or settling any such claim, Loss, damage,
liability or action, except in each case insofar as the same are caused by any information furnished to Parent by any other party expressly for use therein. 

(b) In connection with any registration statement in which the Investor is participating the Investor shall indemnify Parent and its Affiliates
and their respective officers, directors, employees, accountants, attorneys and agents and each Person who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) Parent or such other
indemnified Person and the officers, directors, employees, accountants, attorneys and agents of each such controlling Person, from and against all Losses, as incurred, arising out of or resulting from any untrue statement (or alleged untrue
statement) of material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus filed pursuant to this Agreement or any amendment or supplement thereto or any omission (or alleged omission) of a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and (without limitation of the preceding portions of this
Section 5.8(b)) will reimburse Parent, each of its Affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, accountants, attorneys and agents, and each such Person who controls Parent and the officers,
directors, employees, accountants, attorneys and agents of each such controlling Person, for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and defending or settling any such claim, Loss, damage, liability or
action, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is made in such registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto in
reliance upon 

  
 34 

 
and in conformity with information furnished to Parent by the Investor for inclusion in such registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus or any
amendment or supplement thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Investor shall not be required to provide indemnification in excess of the amount received in the aggregate by the Investor and its Affiliates from its sale of Registrable
Securities in connection with the offering that gave rise to the indemnification obligation. 
 (c) Any Person entitled to indemnification
hereunder shall give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not release the indemnifying party from its
obligation, except to the extent that the indemnifying party has been actually and materially prejudiced by such failure to provide such notice on a timely basis. 

(d) In any case in which any such action is brought against any indemnified party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate
therein, and, to the extent that it may wish, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election to so assume the
defense thereof and acknowledging the obligations of the indemnifying party with respect to such proceeding, the indemnifying party will not (so long as it shall continue to have the right to defend, contest, litigate and settle the matter in
question in accordance with this paragraph) be liable to such indemnified party hereunder for any legal or other expense subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of
investigation, supervision and monitoring (unless (i) such indemnified party (based upon advice of its counsel) reasonably objects to such assumption on the grounds that there may be defenses available to it which are different from or in
addition to the defenses available to such indemnifying party and, as a result, a conflict of interest exists or (ii) the indemnifying party shall have failed within a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and the indemnified party
is or would reasonably be expected to be materially prejudiced by such delay, in either event the indemnified party shall be promptly reimbursed by the indemnifying party for the reasonable expenses incurred in connection with retaining one separate
legal counsel (for all indemnified parties in connection therewith)). Notwithstanding any such assumption by an indemnifying party, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such matter and participate in the
defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party except as provided in the previous sentence. An indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of an action or claim effected
without its consent. No matter shall be settled by an indemnifying party without the consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), unless such settlement (x) includes as an
unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation, (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability
or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party and (z) does not involve any injunctive or equitable relief that would be binding on the indemnified party or any payment that is not covered by the indemnification hereunder. 

(e) The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall survive the Transfer of the Registrable Securities and the termination of this
Agreement. 

  
 35 

 (f) If recovery is not available under the foregoing indemnification provisions for any
reason or reasons other than as specified therein, any Person who would otherwise be entitled to indemnification by the terms thereof shall nevertheless be entitled to contribution with respect to any Losses with respect to which such Person would
be entitled to such indemnification but for such reason or reasons, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and such indemnified party, on the other hand, 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 the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things,
whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party, the Persons’ relative knowledge and access to
information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted, the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission, and other equitable considerations appropriate under the circumstances. It is hereby agreed that it
would not necessarily be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation. 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 found guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Investor shall not be required to make a contribution in excess of the amount received by the
Investor from its sale of Registrable Securities in connection with the offering that gave rise to the contribution obligation. 

ARTICLE VI 

PRE-CLOSING REORGANIZATION AND TRANSACTION EXPENSES INDEMNITY 

6.1 Pre-Closing Reorganization Indemnification. Subject to the provisions of this Article
VI, from and after the Closing, the Investor shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Parent, its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and other representatives (each, a “Parent
Indemnitee”) against and from any and all Losses actually incurred, paid or otherwise suffered, directly or indirectly, by the Parent Indemnitees as a result of, based upon or arising out of any claims made, or actions or proceedings
initiated, in each case, by or on behalf of any former holder of any Equity Interests of the Company Bank Subsidiary or any Person claiming to be such a former holder, with respect to any matter, event, state of facts or occurrence in connection
with, arising out of or as a result of effecting all or any part of the Pre-Closing Reorganization (as defined in the Merger Agreement). The procedures and matters set forth in Sections 5.8(c) and
5.8(d) shall apply to the indemnification contemplated by this Section 6.1 mutatis mutandis. Without limiting the foregoing, within five (5) Business Days of the Closing, Investor shall promptly pay to
Parent, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, cash in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of cash paid to minority stockholders of the Company Bank Subsidiary in connection with the Pre-Closing
Reorganization, solely to the extent such amounts were not (i) set-off against the Per Share Cash Consideration paid to the Investor or any of its Affiliates that is a stockholder of the Company in
connection with the Merger or (ii) otherwise paid by the Investor or any of its Affiliates (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries) at or prior to the Closing. 

  
 36 

 6.2 Non-Specified Transaction Expenses.
Subject to the provisions of this Article VI, from and after the Closing, the Investor shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Parent and its Affiliates against and from, and shall promptly upon Parent’s written request reimburse Parent or
its applicable Affiliates for, any Excess Transaction Expenses (whether discovered prior to or following the Closing). “Excess Transaction Expenses” means Transaction Expenses (as defined in the Merger Agreement) that, if accounted
for in the calculation of the Excess Transaction Expenses Amount (as defined in the Merger Agreement) at and prior to the Closing in accordance with and for purposes of the Merger Agreement, would have resulted in the Per Share Excess Transaction
Expenses Amount (as defined in the Merger Agreement) being greater than the Per Share Excess Transaction Expenses Amount actually used by the parties to the Merger Agreement for the purposes of determining the Per Share Cash Consideration paid at
the Closing. The procedures and matters set forth in Sections 5.8(c) and 5.8(d) shall apply to the indemnification contemplated by this Section 6.2 mutatis mutandis.
