First Offer Shares have terminated or ceased (whether by mutual agreement of the Company and SBAV, or pursuant to the terms of the SBAV Rights Agreement or for any other reason), then the Purchasers shall thereupon become entitled to purchase, on

Schedules, or (ii) SEC Reports (other than any disclosures contained under the captions “Risk Factors” or “Forward Looking Statements” or any other disclosures included therein to the extent that they are forward-looking in
nature) or (iii) any of the Board Meeting Packages (as defined above), or (iv) as otherwise Previously Disclosed; provided, however, that, with respect to the SEC Reports, for any such disclosure to be effective, the
relevance of such SEC Report to the representations and warranties in this Article IV must be reasonably apparent. The disclosure of any information in the Company Disclosure Schedules, the SEC Reports or any Board Meeting Package shall
not be deemed to constitute an acknowledgment that such information is required to be disclosed in connection with the representations and warranties made by the Company in this Agreement or that it is material, nor shall such information be deemed
to establish a standard of materiality. 
 No later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company

including any information disclosed in an SEC Report after the Date of this Agreement (the “Company Update(s)”); provided, however, that with respect to any matters that constitute a Material Adverse Effect, the
required Company Update shall be given promptly after the Company has Knowledge of the matter rather than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing. In any event, if any Company Update is made and discloses matters that constitute a Material
Adverse Effect that was not Previously Disclosed and the Purchasers have not, in their reasonable discretion, had an adequate opportunity to review and investigate the matter disclosed as of the scheduled Closing Date, or the Parties have not come

one Company Update in the aggregate constitute(s) a Material Adverse Effect, each of the Purchasers may, in their separate election, notify the Company in writing that it is terminating the Agreement under Section 10.1(c) provided that
any terminating Purchaser delivers such notice not later than ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the last of the applicable Company Update(s). Upon timely delivery of a Purchaser’s proper notice to the Company of its election to
terminate the Agreement pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, all duties and obligations of the Company and the terminating Purchaser under this Agreement shall terminate and be null and void ab initio. In the event the Closing occurs, the
relevant representations and warranties of the Company to which the Company Updates relate shall be amended to the extent set forth in the Company Updates and such Company Updates will be effective to cure and correct for all purposes any breach of
any representation, warranty or covenant which would have existed if Company had not provided such Company Updates.

Purchasers. The representations and warranties of each of the Purchasers set forth in this Agreement shall have been true and correct in all material respects (if not qualified as to materiality) and true and correct (if so qualified) when made
and as of the Closing Date; provided, however, that this condition precedent shall be deemed to have been satisfied if the failure of any such representations and warranties (without giving effect to any qualifications as to
materiality, “material adverse effect” or similar terms and phrases contained therein) to be true and correct individually or in the aggregate has not resulted in or constituted, and would not have, a material adverse effect with respect
to the ability of such Purchaser to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Other Transaction Documents, or a material adverse effect on the availability of the registration exemption provided by Regulation D under the
Securities Act for the offer and sale by the Company of the Purchased Shares pursuant to this Agreement; and provided, further, that to the extent that any such representations and warranties were made as of a specified date, such representations
and warranties shall continue on the Closing Date to have been true as of such specified date and not as of the Closing. 
 (b)
Performance of Covenants of Purchasers. Each of the Purchasers shall have performed, severally and not jointly, in all material respects all of its respective agreements and covenants in this Agreement required to be performed by it in order
for the Parties to execute and deliver this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, including payment of the Aggregate Purchase Price of the Purchased Shares it is purchasing hereunder as provided in Section 3.2
hereof. 
 (c) Execution and Delivery of the Other Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser shall have executed and
delivered all of the Other Transaction Documents required to be executed and delivered by it as provided in Section 3.2 hereof. 
 (d) Aggregate Purchase Price. The Company shall have received, in same day funds, from each Purchaser the Aggregate Purchase Price payable for the Purchased Shares which each such Purchaser has
agreed to purchase hereunder, as set forth in Exhibit A hereto. 
 ARTICLE VIII 

INDEMNIFICATION 
 8.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties of the Company contained in Article IV of this Agreement (as modified by the Company Disclosure Schedules,
the SEC Reports or any of the Board Meeting Packages referenced therein), and the Company’s indemnification obligations set forth below in this Article VIII, will survive the Closing for a period of one (1) year thereafter ending on
the date which is the first anniversary of the Closing Date (the “One Year Survival Period Termination Date”); provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the representations and warranties of the Company
contained in Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.4, 4.5 and 4.6, and Company’s indemnification obligations, as set forth in this Article VIII below, in respect of any and all breaches of those particular representations and warranties shall survive the
Closing for a period of three (3) years thereafter ending on the date which is the third anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Three Year Survival Period Termination Date”). 

8.2 Indemnification by the Company. On the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth hereinafter in this
Article VIII, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless and defend the Purchasers, and their respective managers, general partners, officers, directors, employees and agents and each Person (other than the Company and the Bank),
if any, who controls, or is under the control of, any of the Purchasers within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each, including the Purchasers, an “Indemnified Party” and
collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Losses that are incurred by the Indemnified Parties that are caused directly by or result directly from any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or
warranty of the Company contained in Article IV of this Agreement, as the same may have been modified by the Company Disclosure Schedules, SEC Reports or any of the Board Meeting Packages, provided, however, that the Company shall not
be obligated to indemnify any of the Indemnified Parties for such portion of any actual or threatened claims or actual Losses to the extent attributable to the acts, errors or omissions on the part of any of the Indemnified Parties. 

  
 25 

 8.3 Maximum Liability of the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary that
may be contained in this Article VIII or elsewhere in this Agreement, the maximum aggregate dollar amount of Losses for which the Company shall have liability to the Purchasers and the other Indemnified Parties, whether pursuant to
this Article VIII or otherwise, for any and all breaches by the Company of its representations and warranties contained in Article IV shall not exceed an amount equal to Fifty percent (50%) of the Aggregate Purchase Price paid by
the Purchasers for the Purchased Shares pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the maximum aggregate dollar amount of Losses for which the Company shall have liability to the Purchasers and
the other Indemnified Parties in the case of any and all breaches by the Company of any or all of its representations and warranties contained in Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.4, 4.5 and 4.6 of this Agreement, shall not exceed an amount equal the
Aggregate Purchase Price paid by the Purchasers for the Purchased Shares pursuant to this Agreement. 
 8.4 Time Limits on
Indemnification. 
 (a) Time Limit on Indemnification Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary that may
be contained in this Article VIII or elsewhere in this Agreement, but subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.3 above, the Company shall not have any liability to any Indemnified Party with respect to any Indemnification Claim
arising out of or relating to breaches of any of the representations and warranties contained in Article IV hereof which is not asserted on or before the One-Year Survival Period Termination Date, except in the case of any Indemnification Claims
arising out of or relating to any and all breaches of any of the representations and warranties contained Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.4, 4.5 and 4.6 hereof, with respect to which the Company shall not have any liability for Losses that are the
subject of any Indemnification Claims asserted after the Three Year Survival Period Termination Date. 
 (b) Pending
Claims. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in Section 8.4(a), the occurrence of an applicable Survival Period Termination Date shall not affect any Indemnification Claim, or an Indemnified Party’s right to
recover any Losses that are the subject of that Claim, if the Claims Notice (as hereinafter defined) with respect thereto had been given to the Company prior to whichever of the One Year Survival Period Termination Date or the Three Year Survival
Period Termination Date is applicable to the alleged breach set forth in such Claims Notice (a “Pending Indemnity Claim”). 
 8.5 Procedures for Indemnification. 
 (a) Indemnification Claims.
Following receipt from an Indemnified Party, of a Claims Notice asserting a claim for indemnification under this Article VIII (an “Indemnification Claim”) prior to the whichever of the One Year Survival Period
Termination Date or the Three Year Survival Period Termination Date is applicable thereto, the Company shall have forty-five (45) days to make such investigation of the Indemnification Claim as the Company considers desirable. For the purpose
of such investigation, the Indemnified Party shall make available to the Company the material information relied upon by the Indemnified Party to substantiate its Indemnification Claim and such forty-five (45) day period shall not commence
until such information has been provided to the Company. If the Indemnified Party and the Company agree, at or prior to the expiration of such forty-five (45) day period (or any mutually agreed upon extension thereof), to the validity of the
Indemnification Claim and amount of the Losses that the Indemnified Party is entitled to recover in respect of such Indemnification Claim from the Company (the “Undisputed Amount”), the Company shall immediately pay to the
Indemnified Party the Undisputed Amount, thereof together with interest, from the date the Claims Notice was received by the Company to the date of payment of such Undisputed Amount, at a rate equal to the then applicable U.S. Treasury Rate for
short term Indebtedness. 
 (b) Third Party Claims. Subject to the applicable limitations set forth in
Section 8.3 and Section 8.4 above, if any claim or demand is asserted or any action, suit or other proceeding is filed or brought against an Indemnified Party by any third party, in respect of which a right to indemnification
under this Article VIII may apply (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall promptly provide to the Company a Claims Notice with respect to such Third Party Claim, provided that a failure to provide
such a Claims Notice to the Company in a prompt manner shall not preclude any indemnification under this Article VIII unless the Company is materially prejudiced by such failure or the Indemnification Claim is made after the applicable
Survival Period Termination Date set forth in 

  
 26 

 
Section 8.4 above. The Company, at its sole expense, shall have the right, exercisable by written notice to the Indemnified Party, given within fifteen (15) days after receipt of
such Claims Notice, to assume, control, defend against, negotiate and otherwise deal with such Third Party Claim, with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party (which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed);
provided, however, that the Company carries out such defense in a diligent and bona fide manner. The Indemnified Party may participate in the defense of any such Third Party Claim which the Company is defending as provided in this
Section 8.5(b) with counsel selected by the Indemnified Party solely at the cost and expense of the Indemnified Party. If the Company does not assume or diligently conduct the defense of a Third Party Claim in accordance with this
Section 8.5(b), or the assumption of the defense of the Third Party Claim by the Company is reasonably likely to materially prejudice the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to control such defense at the
cost and expense of the Company. The party controlling the defense of such Third Party Claim shall keep the other party advised of the status of such Third Party Claim and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith the recommendations made
by the other party with respect thereto. Neither the Indemnified Party nor the Company shall have the right to settle any Third Party Claim without the consent of the other, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Company
and each Indemnified Party shall cooperate fully with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such Third Party Claim. 
 (c) Information Required in a Claims Notice. No Indemnification Claim asserted hereunder shall be effective and the Company shall have no liability under this Article VIII or otherwise
with respect to such Claim, unless a written notice with respect thereto, which (i) identifies the facts or circumstances then known to the Indemnified Party that are alleged to give rise to such Indemnification Claim in reasonable detail and a
good faith estimate of the Losses for which the Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification hereunder based on the facts and circumstances known to the Indemnified Party at the time such Indemnification Claim is made and (ii) is delivered to
the Company prior to whichever of the One-Year or Three-Year Survival Period Termination Date is applicable thereto as set forth in Section 8.4(a) above (such written notice, a “Claims Notice”). 

8.6 Other Provisions Applicable to Indemnification Claims. 

(a) No Duplication of Indemnification Payments. All Indemnification Payments (as defined below) shall be calculated without
duplication, including in any case in which (i) more than one of the Indemnified Parties seeks indemnification for the same Losses, or (ii) any events or circumstances giving rise to a breach of a particular representation or warranty
contained in this Agreement also constitutes a breach of one or more other representations or warranties of the Company contained in contained in this Agreement. 
 (b) No Special, Consequential or Punitive Losses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary that may be contained elsewhere in this Agreement, Losses shall not include, and the Company shall not be
liable under this Agreement for, any lost profits or special, exemplary, consequential or punitive damages except awarded pursuant to a Third Party Claim. 
 (c) Corporate Obligation. The indemnification obligations of the Company hereunder are corporate obligations and in no event and under no circumstance shall any officer, director, employee, agent
or representative of the Company or the Bank have any personal liability to any Purchaser or any of the Indemnified Parties under this Article VIII or otherwise. 
 (d) Insurance Proceeds. If an Indemnified Party receives any insurance proceeds with respect of or for any Losses for which it has theretofore been indemnified by the Company, the Indemnified Party
shall forthwith reimburse the Company in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of such insurance proceeds, net of actual third party expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party, or (ii) the amounts paid by the Company to the
Indemnified Party in respect of such Losses (“Indemnification Payments”). If such insurance proceeds are paid to the Indemnified Party prior to the time that the Company has made such Indemnification Payments, those insurance
proceeds shall be credited against and to that extent shall reduce the amount of the Indemnification Payments that would otherwise be due hereunder by the Company to the Indemnified Party. 

(e) Third Party Contribution or Reimbursement. Any Losses for which an Indemnified Party is determined to be entitled to
indemnification hereunder shall be reduced by an amount equal to any contribution or other similar payment or reimbursement actually recovered or received by the Indemnified Party from any third Person with respect thereto. 

  
 27 

 (f) Certain Adjudications of Third Party Claims. If either (i) the Company is
the prevailing party in any legal action, arbitration or other proceeding brought to adjudicate any Third Party Claim (a “Third Party Action”), or (ii) notwithstanding a ruling in any such Third Party Action that is adverse to
the Company or the Bank or the Indemnified Parties, the findings of fact therein show or confirm that the Losses incurred by the Indemnified Parties arising out of the Third Party Claim were attributable to facts, circumstances, events, occurrences,
actions or conduct that do not constitute or result in an inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty of the Company contained in Article IV of this Agreement (as the same may have been modified by the Company Disclosure
Schedules, SEC Reports or any of the Board Meeting Packages), then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary that may be contained elsewhere in this Article VIII, the Company shall not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Parties for any
such Losses and the Indemnified Parties shall promptly pay or reimburse the Company for any costs or expenses reasonably incurred by it or by the Bank in investigating, preparing the defense for and defending against the Third Party Claim, including
attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred by the Company and/or the Bank in connection therewith. 
 8.7
Exclusivity. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary that may be contained elsewhere in this Agreement, except in the case of common law fraud, the parties agree that this Article VIII shall contain the sole monetary
rights and monetary remedies of each Purchaser for or in respect of any breach of the Company’s representations and warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement, including the right to recover money damages for or in respect of any
Losses suffered or incurred by any of them and each Purchaser hereby expressly, with the intent to be legally bound, and forever waives any rights, both contractual and statutory, to seek or recover any monetary damages or awards for or in respect
of any such breach or any such Losses, except in accordance with and subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth in this Article VIII. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Purchaser agrees not to assert
any claims or bring any action or proceeding against the Company or the Bank, under Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act. However, nothing in this Agreement shall limit any right to obtain or be awarded any non-monetary equitable remedy, including a
temporary, preliminary or permanent injunction or an order of specific performance. 
 ARTICLE IX 

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES 
 9.1 Legends. 
 (a) Each Purchaser acknowledges that all certificates or
other instruments representing the Purchased Shares subject to this Agreement may, at the option of the Company, bear a restrictive legend substantially to the following effect: 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “1933
ACT”), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND SUCH SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF OR TRANSFERRED, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, EXCEPT PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATING THERETO UNDER SUCH ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE
SECURITIES LAWS OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT OR SUCH LAWS OR SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER THE 1933 ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, UNLESS THE TRANSFEROR IS AN AFFILIATE OF
THE COMPANY, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES. 
 (b) Compliance with Securities Act. Each Purchaser agrees not to sell or transfer any of the Purchased Shares other than in a transaction that is registered under the Securities Act or is exempt
from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. If a Purchaser asks the Company to register a transfer of the Purchased Shares in a transaction that is not registered under the Securities Act or sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to
Rule 144 (if the transferor is not an Affiliate of the Company), the Company may refuse to register such transfer until it receives an 

  
 28 

 
opinion of counsel or other evidence that is reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that the sale or transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the transferor is not an Affiliate of the Company, then, the Purchased Shares may be pledged in connection with a bona fide margin account or other bona fide loan or financing arrangement secured by the Purchased Shares and such
pledge of Purchased Shares shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the Purchased Shares hereunder, and any Purchaser effecting such a pledge shall not be required to provide the Company with any other delivery with respect
thereto pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; provided, that in order to make any sale, transfer or assignment of Purchased Shares, such Purchaser and its pledgee makes such disposition in accordance with or pursuant to a
registration statement or an exemption under the Securities Act. 
 (c) Removal of Legends. The restrictive legend set
forth in Section 9.1(a) above shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate without such restrictive legend or any other restrictive legend to the holder of the applicable Purchased Shares upon which it is stamped or issue
to such holder by electronic delivery at the applicable balance account at the Depository Trust Company, (i) if and when such Purchased Shares are sold pursuant to a resale registration statement that has been declared effective under the
Securities Act and the Company has received from such holder a certification that such sale has been made in the manner described in the section of such registration statement entitled “Plan of Distribution” or otherwise describing the
manner in which the securities registered thereunder are to be sold, (ii) upon request, if such Purchased Shares are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 (if the transferor is not an Affiliate of the Company) or otherwise pursuant to an
exemption from registration under the Securities Act, or (iii) upon request, if such Purchased Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information
requirement under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) as to such securities and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions, provided, that, in the case of the foregoing clauses (ii) and (iii), if requested by the
Company, the holder of such Purchased Shares has furnished or caused to be furnished a legal opinion from its counsel, reasonably acceptable to the Company and its counsel, to the effect that the removal of the legend is permitted by the Securities
Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder. Any fees (of Company counsel) associated with the removal of such legend shall be borne by the Company. If a legend is no longer required pursuant to the foregoing, the Company will no later
than five (5) Business Days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company of a legended certificate or instrument representing such Purchased Shares (endorsed or with stock powers attached, signatures guaranteed, and otherwise in form
necessary to affect the reissuance and/or transfer), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate or instrument (as the case may be) representing such Purchased Shares that is free from all restrictive legends. 

9.2 Securities Laws Disclosure. The Company shall, on or before 4:30 p.m. (New York time) on the fourth (4th) Business Day
following the date hereof, issue a press release (subject to Section 11.3 hereof) disclosing the transactions contemplated hereby and file a Current Report on Form 8-K disclosing the material terms of this Agreement and the Other
Transaction Documents (and attach as exhibits thereto this Agreement and the Other Transaction Documents) (the “Form 8-K”). In addition, the Company will make such other filings and notices in the manner and time required by
the SEC and the NASDAQ Global Select Market. 
 9.3 Reporting Status. Until (i) the date on which the Purchased
Shares have become eligible for sale under Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) as to such Purchased Shares and
without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions, or (ii) the date on which the Purchasers shall have sold all the Purchased Shares, whichever is earlier, the Company shall timely file all reports required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to the
Exchange Act for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable), and the Company shall not terminate its status as an issuer required to file reports under the
Exchange Act even if the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder would otherwise permit such termination. 
 9.4
Blue Sky Laws. The Company shall, on or before the Closing Date, take such action as the Company reasonably determines is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for or to qualify the Purchased Shares for sale to each Purchaser at the
Closing pursuant to this Agreement under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States (or to obtain an exemption from such qualification), and shall provide evidence of any such action so taken to Purchaser
on or prior to the Closing Date. The Company shall make all filings and reports relating to the offer and sale of the Shares required under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States following the Closing
Date. 

  
 29 

 (a) Use of Proceeds. The Company will use all or substantially all of the proceeds
from the sale of the Purchased Shares to facilitate the accelerated resolution of certain Loans and OREO owned by the Bank and for general corporate purposes, as directed by action of the Board of Directors of the Company. 

Except as set forth above, in no event shall the proceeds be used for (i) the redemption or repurchase or any of its or its Subsidiaries equity
securities or any dividend thereon or (ii) any other ventures or business opportunities not related to the current or contemplated business of the Company or the Bank. 
 9.5 Register. The Company shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to each holder of Purchased Shares), a
register for the Purchased Shares, in which the Company shall record the name and address of the Person in whose name the Purchased Shares (including the name and address of each permitted transferee) and the number of such shares held. The Company
shall keep the register open and available at all times during business hours for inspection of any Purchaser or its legal representatives. 
 9.6 Fees. The Company shall be responsible for the payment of any placement agent’s fees, financial advisory fees, or broker’s commissions (other than for Persons engaged by any
Purchaser) relating to or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, any fees or commissions payable to the Agent. The Company shall pay, and hold each Purchaser harmless against, any liability, loss or
expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and out-of-pocket expenses) arising in connection with any claim relating to any such payment. 
 9.7 Conduct of Business. From the date hereof until the earlier of the Closing Date or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, except as contemplated by this Agreement, the
Company and the Bank shall operate their respective business in the ordinary course consistent with past practices, except as may be necessary or advisable to comply with any requirements of or restrictions imposed by any Governmental Authority.

 9.8 Listing. The Company shall promptly secure the listing of all of the Purchased Shares upon each national
securities exchange and automated quotation system, if any, upon which the Common Stock is then listed (subject to official notice of issuance) and shall maintain such listing of all Registrable Securities from time to time issuable under the terms
of this Agreement and the Other Transaction Documents. The Company shall maintain the Common Stock’s authorization for listing on the NASDAQ Global Select Market. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall take any action which would
be reasonably expected to result in the delisting or suspension of the Common Stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligations under this Section 9.9.

 9.9 Additional Registration Statements. Until the date that is ninety (90) calendar days from the earlier of
(i) the Effective Date (as defined in the Amended Registration Rights Agreement) and (ii) the date all of the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Amended Registration Rights Agreement) may be sold without the requirement for the
Company to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) and otherwise without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144, the Company will not file a registration statement under the Securities Act relating to securities that are not the Purchased
Shares, except for any registration statements with respect to shares issuable pursuant to an equity incentive plan or employee benefit plan for the officers, employees or directors of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. 

ARTICLE X 
 TERMINATION 
 10.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated,
and the issuance and sale of the Purchased Shares by the Company to the Purchasers and the other transactions contemplated hereby may be abandoned, at any time prior to the Closing Date: 

(a) By either the Company or any Purchaser, if the Closing Date shall not have occurred on or before (i) April 15, 2013 or
(ii) May 15, 2013 in the event that the inability to consummate the transaction contemplated in this Agreement earlier relates solely to completion of bank regulatory procedures required by any Regulatory Authority (the
“Termination Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this 

  
 30 

 
Section 10.1 shall not be available to any party whose failure to fulfill any of its obligations under this Agreement (other than the requirement of such Party to have received any necessary
approval from a Governmental Authority) shall have been a principal reason for or a principal cause of the failure of the Closing Date to occur on or before such Termination Date; 

(b) By either the Company or any Purchaser: 
 (i) if a Regulatory Authority shall have issued an order, decree or ruling or taken any other action permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this

 (ii) if, as a
condition to the receipt or issuance of any approval or consent of any Regulatory Authority required in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Other Transaction Documents, the Company or the Bank
is required to accept or agree to any restrictions or other requirements of any Regulatory Authority having jurisdiction over either of them that would have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company or the Bank or on their future prospects.

 (c) By a Purchaser if an event or act occurs or circumstances exist which makes any of the conditions precedent set forth in
Section 7.2 or Section 7.3 incapable of being satisfied on or prior to the Termination Date, provided that such event, act or circumstance was not due primarily to or caused primarily by any action or inaction by the
Purchasers or either of them; or 
 (d) By the Company if an event or act occurs or circumstances exist which makes any of the
conditions precedent set forth in Section 7.2 or Section 7.4 incapable of being satisfied on or prior to the Termination Date, provided that such event, act or circumstance was not due primarily to or caused primarily
by any action or inaction by the Company.

 EXHIBIT 10.10 
 INFINERA CORPORATION 
 AMENDED AND RESTATED CHANGE OF CONTROL SEVERANCE
AGREEMENT 
 This Amended and Restated Change of Control Severance Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made and entered
into by and between [NAME] (“Executive”) and Infinera Corporation (the “Company”), effective as of December 19, 2012 (the “Effective Date”). 
 RECITALS 
 1. It is expected that the Company from time to time will
consider the possibility of an acquisition by another company or other change of control. The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) recognizes that such consideration can be a distraction to Executive and can cause Executive to
consider alternative employment opportunities. The Board has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to assure that the Company will have the continued dedication and objectivity of Executive, notwithstanding
the possibility, threat or occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined herein) of the Company. 
 2. The Board believes that
it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to provide Executive with an incentive to continue his or her employment and to motivate Executive to maximize the value of the Company upon a Change of Control for the benefit of its
stockholders. 
 3. The Board believes that it is imperative to provide Executive with certain benefits upon Executive’s
termination of employment following a Change of Control. These benefits will provide Executive with enhanced financial security and incentive and encouragement to remain with the Company notwithstanding the possibility of a Change of Control.

 4. This Agreement amends and restates the Change of Control Severance Agreement dated [DATES] between the Company and
Executive. 
 5. Certain capitalized terms used in the Agreement are defined in Section 6 below. 

AGREEMENT 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 1. Term of Agreement. This Agreement will terminate upon the date that all of the obligations of the parties hereto with respect to this Agreement have been satisfied. 

 2. At-Will Employment. The Company and Executive acknowledge that Executive’s
employment is and will continue to be at-will, as defined under applicable law, except as may otherwise be specifically provided under the terms of any written formal employment agreement between the Company and Executive (an “Employment
Agreement”). If Executive’s employment terminates for any reason, including (without limitation) any termination prior to a Change of Control, Executive will not be entitled to any payments, benefits, damages, awards or compensation other
than as provided by this Agreement or under his or her Employment Agreement. 
 3. Severance Benefits. 

(a) Involuntary Termination Following a Change of Control. If within twelve (12) months following a Change of Control,
(A) the Company (or any parent or subsidiary of the Company) terminates Executive’s employment without Cause, or (B) Executive resigns his or her employment as a result of a Constructive Termination, then, subject to Section 4,
Executive will receive the following severance from the Company: 
 (i) Severance Payment. Executive will receive a lump
sum severance payment (less applicable withholding taxes) equal to two (2) times the Executive’s annual base salary (as in effect immediately prior to (A) the Change of Control, or (B) Executive’s termination, whichever is
greater). 
 (ii) Equity Awards. One hundred percent (100%) all equity awards granted to Executive that are
outstanding as of the date of Executive’s termination (the “Equity Awards”) will immediately vest and, if applicable, become exercisable. The Equity Awards will, to the extent applicable, remain exercisable following Executive’s
termination for the period prescribed in the related award agreements. 
 (iii) Continued Employee Benefits. If
Executive elects continuation coverage pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”) for Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents, within the time period prescribed pursuant to
COBRA, the Company will reimburse Executive for the COBRA premiums for such coverage (at the coverage levels in effect immediately prior to Executive’s termination) until the earlier of (A) a period of twenty-four (24) months from the
last date of employment of Executive with the Company, or (B) the date upon which Executive and/or Executive’s eligible dependents becomes covered under similar plans. COBRA reimbursements will be made by the Company to Executive
consistent with the Company’s normal expense reimbursement policy. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, if the Company determines in its sole discretion that it cannot provide the foregoing benefit without potentially violating, or being
subject to an excise tax under, applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), the Company shall in lieu thereof provide to Executive a taxable monthly payment, payable on the last day of a given
month, in an amount equal to the monthly COBRA premium that Executive would be required to pay to continue Executive’s group health coverage in effect on the termination of employment date (which amount shall be based on the premium for the
first month of COBRA coverage), which payments shall be made regardless of whether Executive elects COBRA continuation coverage and shall commence on the month following Executive’s termination of employment and shall end on the earlier of
(x) the date upon which Executive obtains other employment, or (y) the date the Company has paid an amount equal to twenty-four (24) payments. For the avoidance of doubt, the taxable payments in lieu of COBRA reimbursements may be
used for any purpose, including, but not limited to continuation coverage under COBRA, and shall be subject to all applicable tax withholdings. 

  
 2 

 (b) Timing of Severance Payments. Subject to Section 3(f), the Company will pay
the severance payment to which Executive is entitled pursuant to Section 3(a)(i) as a lump sum no later than March 15 of the calendar year following the year in which Executive’s employment terminates. If Executive should die before
the severance amount has been paid, such unpaid amount will be paid to Executive’s designated beneficiary, if living, or otherwise to the personal representative of Executive’s estate. 

(c) Voluntary Resignation; Termination For Cause. If Executive’s employment with the Company terminates (i) voluntarily
by Executive (other than as a result of a Constructive Termination) or (ii) for Cause by the Company (or any parent or subsidiary of the Company), then Executive will not be entitled to receive severance or other benefits except for those (if
any) as may then be established under the Company’s then existing severance and benefits plans and practices or pursuant to other written agreements with the Company, including, without limitation, any Employment Agreement. 

(d) Disability; Death. If the Company terminates Executive’s employment as a result of Executive’s Disability, or
Executive’s employment terminates due to his or her death, then Executive will not be entitled to receive severance or other benefits except for those (if any) as may then be established under the Company’s then existing written severance
and benefits plans and practices or pursuant to other written agreements with the Company, including, without limitation, any Employment Agreement. 
 (e) Exclusive Remedy. In the event of a termination of Executive’s employment with the Company (or any parent or subsidiary of the Company), the provisions of this Section 3 are intended
to be and are exclusive and in lieu of any other rights or remedies to which Executive or the Company may otherwise be entitled, whether at law, tort or contract, in equity, or under this Agreement. Executive will be entitled to no benefits,
compensation or other payments or rights upon termination of employment other than those benefits expressly set forth in this Section 3. 
 4. Release Requirement; Section 409A. 
 (a) Release of Claims
Agreement. The receipt of any severance payments or benefits pursuant to this Agreement is subject to Executive signing and not revoking a separation agreement and release of claims in a form acceptable to the Company (the “Release”),
which must become effective and irrevocable no later than the sixtieth (60th) day following Executive’s termination of employment (the “Release Deadline”). If the Release does not become effective and irrevocable by the Release
Deadline, Executive will forfeit any right to severance payments or benefits under this Agreement. In no event will severance payments or benefits be paid or provided until the Release actually becomes effective and irrevocable. 

  
 3 

 (b) Separation from Service. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, no Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits (as defined in clause (d)) will be paid or otherwise provided until Executive has a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A. Similarly, no severance payable
to Executive, if any, pursuant to this Agreement that otherwise would be exempt from Section 409A pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9) will be payable until Executive has a “separation from service” within
the meaning of Section 409A. 
 (c) Timing of Payments. It is intended that none of the severance payments under
this Agreement will constitute Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits, but rather will be exempt from Section 409A as a payment that would fall within the “short-term deferral period” as described in clause (e) or resulting
from an involuntary separation from service as described in clause (f). However, any severance payments or benefits under this Agreement that would be considered Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits will be paid on, or, in the case of
installments, will not commence until, the sixtieth (60th) day following Executive’s separation from service, or, if later, such time as required by Section 4(d). Except as required by Section 4(d), any installment payments that
would have been made to Executive during the sixty (60) day period immediately following Executive’s separation from service but for the preceding sentence will be paid to Executive on the sixtieth (60th) day following
Executive’s separation from service and the remaining payments shall be made as provided in this Agreement. 
 (d)
Specified Employee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A at the time of Executive’s termination (other than due to death),
then the severance payable to Executive, if any, pursuant to this Agreement, when considered together with any other severance payments or separation benefits that are considered deferred compensation under Section 409A (together, the
“Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits”) that are payable within the first six (6) months following Executive’s termination of employment, will become payable on the first payroll date that occurs on or after the date six
(6) months and one (1) day following the date of Executive’s termination of employment. All subsequent Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits, if any, will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each
payment or benefit. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Executive dies following his or her termination but prior to the six (6) month anniversary of his or her termination, then any payments delayed in accordance with this
paragraph will be payable in a lump sum as soon as administratively practicable after the date of Executive’s death and all other Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to
each payment or benefit. Each payment and benefit payable under this Agreement is intended to constitute separate payments for purposes of Section 1.409A-2(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations. 

(e) Short-Term Deferral. Any amount paid under this Agreement that satisfies the requirements of the “short-term
deferral” rule set forth in Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) of the Treasury Regulations shall not constitute Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits for purposes of clause (i) above. 

  
 4 

 (f) Involuntary Separation. Amount paid under this Agreement that qualifies as a
payment made as a result of an involuntary separation from service pursuant to Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) of the Treasury Regulations that do not exceed the Section 409A Limit shall not constitute Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits
for purposes of clause (i) above. 
 (g) Compliance with Section 409A. The foregoing provisions are intended to
comply with the requirements of Section 409A so that none of the severance payments and benefits to be provided hereunder will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to
so comply. The Company and Executive agree to work together in good faith to consider amendments to this Agreement and to take such reasonable actions which are necessary, appropriate or desirable to avoid imposition of any additional tax or income
recognition prior to actual payment to Executive under Section 409A. 
 5. Limitation on Payments. In the event that
the severance and other benefits provided for in this Agreement or otherwise payable to Executive (i) constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and (ii) but for this Section 5, would
be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then Executive’s severance benefits under Section 3(a) will be either: 
 (a) delivered in full, or 
 (b) delivered as to such lesser extent which would
result in no portion of such severance benefits being subject to excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the excise tax imposed
by Section 4999, results in the receipt by Executive on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of severance benefits, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such severance benefits may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code. If
a reduction in severance and other benefits constituting “parachute payments” is necessary so that benefits are delivered to a lesser extent, reduction will occur in the following order: (i) reduction of cash payments;
(ii) cancellation of awards granted “contingent on a change in ownership or control” (within the meaning of Code Section 280G), (iii) cancellation of accelerated vesting of equity awards; (iv) reduction of employee
benefits. In the event that acceleration of vesting of equity award compensation is to be reduced, such acceleration of vesting will be cancelled in the reverse order of the date of grant of Executive’s equity awards. If two or more equity
awards are granted on the same date, each award will be reduced on a pro-rata basis. In no event shall the Executive have any discretion with respect to the ordering of payment reductions. 

Unless the Company and Executive otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this Section 5 will be made in writing
by the Company’s independent public accountants immediately prior to Change of Control (the “Accountants”), whose determination will be conclusive and binding upon Executive and the Company for all purposes. For purposes of making the
calculations required by this Section 5, the Accountants may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999
of the Code. The Company and Executive will furnish to the Accountants such information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section 5. The Company will bear all costs the
Accountants may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section 5. 

  
 5 

 6. Definition of Terms. The following terms referred to in this Agreement will have
the following meanings: 
 (a) Cause. “Cause” will mean: (i) Executive’s willful failure to
substantially perform his or her duties and responsibilities to the Company or deliberate violation of a Company policy; (ii) Executive’s commission of any act of fraud, embezzlement, dishonesty or any other willful misconduct that has
caused or is reasonably expected to result in material injury to the Company; (iii) unauthorized use or disclosure by Executive of any proprietary information or trade secrets of the Company or any other party to whom Executive owes an
obligation of nondisclosure as a result of his or her relationship with the Company; or (iv) Executive’s willful breach of any of his or her obligations under any written agreement or covenant with the Company. The determination as to
whether Executive is being terminated for Cause will be made in good faith by the Company and will be final and binding on Executive. 
 (b) Change of Control. “Change of Control” of the Company will mean: 
 (i) any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under
said Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the total voting power represented by the Company’s then outstanding voting securities; 

(ii) the consummation of the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; 

(iii) the consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation
which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity or its parent) at least
fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power represented by the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity or its parent outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation; or 

(iv) a change in the composition of the Board occurring within a two (2) year period, as a result of which less than a majority of
the directors are Incumbent Directors. “Incumbent Directors” means directors who either (A) are directors of the Company as of the date hereof, or (B) are elected, or nominated for election, to the Board with the affirmative
votes of at least a majority of the directors of the Company at the time of such election or nomination (but will not include an individual whose election or nomination is in connection with an actual or threatened proxy contest relating to the
election of directors to the Company). 

  
 6 

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed a Change of Control unless
the transaction qualifies as a change in control event within the meaning of Section 409A, as it has been and may be amended from time to time, and any proposed or final Treasury Regulations and Internal Revenue Service guidance that has been
promulgated or may be promulgated thereunder from time to time. 
 (c) Code. “Code” will mean the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Any reference to a section of the Code herein will be a reference to any successor or amended section of the Code. 
 (d) Constructive Termination. “Constructive Termination” will mean Executive’s resignation as a result of, and within three (3) months following the expiration of any Company
cure period (discussed below) following the occurrence of one or more of the following: (i) a material reduction in Executive’s job, duties or responsibilities in a manner that is substantially inconsistent with the position, duties or
responsibilities held by Executive immediately before such reduction, (ii) a material reduction in Executive’s base salary (in other words, a reduction of more than five percent of Executive’s base salary within the twelve-month
period following a Change of Control), or (iii) a material change in the work location at which Executive is required to perform services for the Company (in other words, a requirement that Executive relocate to a work location that is more
than 50 miles from Executive’s work location in effect as of the date immediately prior to a Change in Control). Executive will not resign as the result of a Constructive Termination without first providing the Company with written notice of
the acts or omissions constituting the grounds for “Constructive Termination” within ninety (90) days of the initial existence of the grounds for “Constructive Termination” and a cure period of thirty (30) days
following the date of such notice. 
 (e) Disability. “Disability” will mean that Executive has been unable to
perform his or her Company duties as the result of his or her incapacity due to physical or mental illness, and such inability, at least twenty-six (26) weeks after its commencement, is determined to be total and permanent by a physician
selected by the Company or its insurers and acceptable to Executive or Executive’s legal representative (such Agreement as to acceptability not to be unreasonably withheld). Termination resulting from Disability may only be effected after at
least thirty (30) days’ written notice by the Company of its intention to terminate Executive’s employment. In the event that Executive resumes the performance of substantially all of his or her duties hereunder before the termination
of his or her employment becomes effective, the notice of intent to terminate will automatically be deemed to have been revoked. 
 (f) Section 409A. “Section 409A” will mean Section 409A of the Code and the final Treasury Regulations and any official Internal Revenue Service guidance promulgated thereunder.

 (g) Section 409A Limit. “Section 409A Limit” will mean the lesser of two (2) times:
(i) Executive’s annualized compensation based upon the annual rate of pay paid to Executive during the Company’s taxable year preceding the Company’s taxable year of Executive’s termination of employment as determined under
Treasury Regulation 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii)(A)(1) and any Internal Revenue Service guidance issued with respect thereto; or (ii) the maximum amount that may be taken into account under a qualified plan pursuant to Section 401(a)(17) of the
Code for the year in which Executive’s employment is terminated. 

  
 7 

 7. Successors. 

(a) The Company’s Successors. Any successor to the Company (whether direct or indirect and whether by purchase, merger,
consolidation, liquidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the Company’s business and/or assets will assume the obligations under this Agreement and will agree expressly to perform the obligations under this Agreement in the same
manner and to the same extent as the Company would be required to perform such obligations in the absence of a succession. For all purposes under this Agreement, the term “Company” will include any successor to the Company’s business
and/or assets which executes and delivers the assumption agreement described in this Section 6(a) or which becomes bound by the terms of this Agreement by operation of law. 

(b) Executive’s Successors. The terms of this Agreement and all rights of Executive hereunder will inure to the benefit of,
and be enforceable by, Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. 
 8. Notice. 
 (a) General. Notices and all other communications
contemplated by this Agreement will be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given when personally delivered or when mailed by U.S. registered or certified mail, return receipt requested and postage prepaid. In the case of Executive,
mailed notices will be addressed to him or her at the home address which he or she most recently communicated to the Company in writing. In the case of the Company, mailed notices will be addressed to its corporate headquarters, and all notices will
be directed to the attention of its President. 
 (b) Notice of Termination. Any termination by the Company for Cause or
as a result of a voluntary resignation will be communicated by a notice of termination to the other party hereto given in accordance with Section 7(a) of this Agreement. Such notice will indicate the specific termination provision in this
Agreement relied upon, will set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination under the provision so indicated, and will specify the termination date (which will be not more than thirty
(30) days after the giving of such notice). Without limiting the foregoing, Executive shall be required to provide thirty (30) days’ notice prior to the termination of his employment for any reason. 

9. Arbitration. 
 (a) Any dispute or controversy arising out of, relating to, or in connection with this Agreement, or the interpretation, validity, construction, performance, breach, or termination thereof, will be
settled by binding arbitration to be conducted by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”) in Santa Clara, California, in accordance with the Employment Arbitration Rules and Procedures of JAMS (the “Rules”). The
arbitrator may grant injunctions or other relief in such dispute or controversy. The decision of the arbitrator will be final, conclusive and binding on the parties to the arbitration. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s decision in any
court having jurisdiction. 

  
 8 

 (b) The arbitrator(s) will apply California law to the merits of any dispute or claim,
without reference to conflicts of law rules. The arbitration proceedings will be governed by federal arbitration law and by the Rules, without reference to state arbitration law. Executive hereby consents to the personal jurisdiction of the state
and federal courts located in California for any action or proceeding arising from or relating to this Agreement or relating to any arbitration in which the parties are participants. 

(c) Executive understands that nothing in this Section 8 modifies Executive’s at-will employment status. Either Executive or
the Company can terminate the employment relationship at any time, with or without Cause. 
 (d) EXECUTIVE HAS READ AND
UNDERSTANDS THIS SECTION 8, WHICH DISCUSSES ARBITRATION. EXECUTIVE UNDERSTANDS THAT SUBMITTING ANY CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE INTERPRETATION, VALIDITY, CONSTRUCTION, PERFORMANCE, BREACH OR
TERMINATION THEREOF TO BINDING ARBITRATION, CONSTITUTES A WAIVER OF EXECUTIVE’S RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND RELATES TO THE RESOLUTION OF ALL DISPUTES RELATING TO ALL ASPECTS OF THE EMPLOYER/EXECUTIVE RELATIONSHIP, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
THE FOLLOWING CLAIMS: 
 (i) ANY AND ALL CLAIMS FOR WRONGFUL DISCHARGE OF EMPLOYMENT; BREACH OF CONTRACT, BOTH EXPRESS AND
IMPLIED; BREACH OF THE COVENANT OF GOOD FAITH AND FAIR DEALING, BOTH EXPRESS AND IMPLIED; NEGLIGENT OR INTENTIONAL INFLICTION OF EMOTIONAL DISTRESS; NEGLIGENT OR INTENTIONAL MISREPRESENTATION; NEGLIGENT OR INTENTIONAL INTERFERENCE WITH CONTRACT OR
PROSPECTIVE ECONOMIC ADVANTAGE; AND DEFAMATION. 
 (ii) ANY AND ALL CLAIMS FOR VIOLATION OF ANY FEDERAL STATE OR MUNICIPAL
STATUTE, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, TITLE VII OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1964, THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1991, THE AGE DISCRIMINATION IN EMPLOYMENT ACT OF 1967, THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT OF 1990, THE FAIR LABOR STANDARDS ACT, THE
CALIFORNIA FAIR EMPLOYMENT AND HOUSING ACT, AND LABOR CODE SECTION 201, et seq; 
 (iii) ANY AND ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF ANY
OTHER LAWS AND REGULATIONS RELATING TO EMPLOYMENT OR EMPLOYMENT DISCRIMINATION. 

  
 9 

 10. Miscellaneous Provisions. 

(a) No Duty to Mitigate. Executive will not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment contemplated by this Agreement, nor
will any such payment be reduced by any earnings that Executive may receive from any other source. 
 (b) Waiver. No
provision of this Agreement will be modified, waived or discharged unless the modification, waiver or discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by Executive and by an authorized officer of the Company (other than Executive). No waiver by either
party of any breach of, or of compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement by the other party will be considered a waiver of any other condition or provision or of the same condition or provision at another time. 

(c) Headings. All captions and section headings used in this Agreement are for convenient reference only and do not form a part of
this Agreement. 
 (d) Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with any Employment Agreement, constitutes the entire
agreement of the parties hereto and supersedes in their entirety all prior representations, understandings, undertakings or agreements (whether oral or written and whether expressed or implied) of the parties with respect to the subject matter
hereof. 
 (e) Amendment. No waiver, alteration, or modification of any of the provisions of this Agreement will be
binding unless in writing and signed by duly authorized representatives of the parties hereto and which specifically mention this Agreement. 
 (f) Choice of Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of California (with the exception of its conflict of laws
provisions). 
 (g) Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision or provisions of this Agreement
will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof, which will remain in full force and effect. 
 (h)
Withholding. All payments made pursuant to this Agreement will be subject to withholding of applicable income, employment and other taxes. 
 (i) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.
