shares of the common stock, $.01 par value per share (“Common Stock”), of the Company, having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $40.0 million (the “Shares”) on the terms set forth in this agreement (the

enter into a separate agreement, which will include customary terms and conditions consistent with the representations, warranties and provisions in this Agreement and which will be agreed upon by the parties thereto (each, a “Terms
Agreement”). 
 The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“Commission”) a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-202791), including the related prospectus, covering the registration of various
securities, including the Shares, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) (the “Base Prospectus”). Such registration statement is effective under the 1933 Act. Promptly after execution and
delivery of this Agreement, the Company will prepare and file a Prospectus Supplement (as defined below) with respect to the Shares in accordance with the provisions of Rule 430B (“Rule 430B”) of the rules and regulations of the
Commission under the 1933 Act (the “1933 Act Regulations”) and paragraph (b) of Rule 424 (“Rule 424(b)”) of the 1933 Act Regulations. Any information included in such Prospectus Supplement that was omitted from
such registration statement at the time it became effective but that is deemed to be part of such registration statement at the time it became effective pursuant to Rule 430B is referred to as “Rule 430B Information.” The shelf
registration statement, at any given time, including any amendments thereto, including post-effective amendments, the exhibits and any schedules thereto at such time, the documents incorporated by reference therein and the documents otherwise deemed
to be a part thereof or included therein by the 1933 Act, is referred to herein as the “Registration Statement.” The term “Effective Date” 

  
 1 

 
shall mean each date that the Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment or amendments thereto became or become effective. The term “Prospectus” means the
prospectus supplement to the Base Prospectus that describes the Shares and the offering thereof (the “Prospectus Supplement”) filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the 1933 Act, together with the Base
Prospectus, in the form used by the Agent in connection with the sale of the Shares from time to time. The Company will furnish to the Agent, for use by the Agent, copies of the Prospectus included as part of such Registration Statement, as
supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement, relating to the Shares. Any registration statement filed pursuant to Rule 462(b) of the 1933 Act Regulations is herein referred to as a
“Rule 462(b) Registration Statement,” and after such filing the term “Registration Statement” shall include the last filed Rule 462(b) Registration Statement. 

For purposes of this Agreement, all references to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus Supplement, the Prospectus, any
Issuer-Represented Free Writing Prospectus (as hereinafter defined) or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing shall be deemed to include the copy, if any, filed with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and
Retrieval system (“EDGAR”). 
 All references in this Agreement to financial statements and schedules and
other information which is “contained,” “included” or “stated” (or other references of like import) in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus Supplement or the Prospectus shall be deemed to mean and include all such
financial statements and schedules and other information which is incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in, or otherwise deemed by the 1933 Act Regulations to be a part of or included in, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus
Supplement or the Prospectus, as the case may be. 
 For the purpose of this Agreement, the term “subsidiary” or
“subsidiaries” shall include each direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company listed on Schedule II hereto.

(i)    (A)(1) At the time of filing the Registration Statement, (2) as of the date hereof, and
(3) as of each Applicable Time and Delivery Date, the Company satisfied the registrant the eligibility requirements for the use of Form S-3 under the 1933 Act that were in effect prior to October 21,
1992, and (B) at the date hereof, the Company was not an “ineligible issuer” as defined in Rule 405 of the 1933 Act Regulations.

Statement, each in the form previously delivered to the Agent. Such Registration Statement, as so amended, has been declared effective by the Commission and the Shares have been registered under the Registration Statement in compliance with the
requirements for the use of Form S-3. The Company has not received from the 

  
 2 

 
Commission any notice pursuant to Rule 401(g) of the 1933 Act Regulations objecting to the Company’s use of Form S-3. Although the
Base Prospectus may not include all the information with respect to the Shares and the offering thereof required by the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations to be included in the Prospectus, the Base Prospectus includes all such information
required by the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations to be included therein as of the Effective Date. The Company has complied to the Commission’s satisfaction with all requests of the Commission for additional or supplemental
information, to the extent the Commission has requested such information in conjunction with the filing of the Registration Statement or otherwise; and no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued and no
proceeding for that purpose has been initiated or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened by the Commission. Promptly after the execution of this Agreement, the Company will file with the Commission pursuant to Rules 415 and
424(b)(2) or (5) of the 1933 Act Regulations the Prospectus Supplement to the Base Prospectus included in such Registration Statement relating to the Shares and the offering thereof, with such information as is required or permitted by the
1933 Act and as has been provided to and approved by the Agent prior to the date hereof or, to the extent not completed at the date hereof, containing only such specific additional information and other changes (beyond that contained in the Base
Prospectus) as the Company has advised the Agent, prior to the date hereof, will be included or made therein. If the Company has elected to rely on Rule 462(b) of the 1933 Act Regulations and the Rule 462(b) Registration
Statement is not effective, (x) the Company will file a Rule 462(b) Registration Statement in compliance with, and that is effective upon filing pursuant to, Rule 462(b) and (y) the Company has given irrevocable
instructions for transmission of the applicable filing fee in connection with the filing of the Rule 462(b) Registration Statement, in compliance with Rule 111 of the 1933 Act Regulations, or the Commission has received payment of
such filing fee. 
 (ii)    At the time of the original filing of the Registration Statement, at the
earliest time thereafter that the Company or another offering participant made a bona fide offer (within the meaning of Rule 164(h) of the 1933 Act Regulations) of the Shares and at each Representation Date, the Company was not, is not and
will not be an “ineligible issuer” as defined in Rule 405 under the 1933 Act. 

(iii)    There are no contracts or other documents required to be described in the Prospectus or to be
filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement which have not been described or filed as required. The Prospectus and any amendment or supplements thereto delivered to the Agent for use in connection with the offering of the Shares (whether to
meet requests of purchasers pursuant to Rule 173 of the 1933 Act Regulations or otherwise) was identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T under the 1933 Act. 
 (iv)    (A) at the respective times
the Registration Statement, any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement and any post-effective amendments thereto became or becomes effective and as of the date hereof, the Registration Statement, any Rule 462(b) Registration
Statement and any amendments and supplements thereto complied and will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations and did not and will not contain 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 not misleading, and (B) at the time the Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto were

  
 3 

 
filed and at each Applicable Time and Delivery Date, neither the Prospectus nor any amendment or supplement thereto included, includes or will include an untrue statement of a material fact or
omitted, omits or will omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, that the representations and warranties in clauses

not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect, and have not received any notice of any claim of infringement or conflict with, any such rights of others or any facts or circumstances that would render any Intellectual
Property invalid or inadequate to protect the interest of the Company or any of its subsidiaries therein, except in each case where such infringement or conflict (if the subject of any unfavorable decision, ruling or finding) or invalidity or
inadequacy, individually or in the aggregate, would not result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Company, their respective directors, officers, employees and agents and other persons, in each case, acting on behalf of the Company or any of its subsidiaries has (A) used any corporate funds of the Company or any of its subsidiaries for any

the Registration Statement, General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus as required. 
 (xxx)    The
Company and its subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurances that (A) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization,
(B) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain accountability for assets, (C) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general
or specific authorization, and (D) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. The Company and each of its subsidiaries

requirements of the 1934 Act, as applicable to them; the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective; and since the end of the Company’s most recent audited fiscal year, there has been (X) no material weakness in

materially affect adversely, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. 

(xxxi)    The Company maintains “disclosure controls and procedures” (as such term is defined in
Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(f) under the 1934 Act) that comply with the requirements of the 1934 Act that are applicable to an issuer that has a class of securities
registered under Section 12 of the 1934 Act. 
 (xxii)    None of the Company, the Bank and any of
their subsidiaries is in violation of any order or directive from the FRB, the NYDFS, the FDIC, the Commission or any regulatory authority to make any material change in the method of conducting its respective businesses. Except as disclosed in the
Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is subject or is party to, or has received any notice or advice that any of them may become subject or party to, any
investigation with respect to, any corrective, suspension or cease-and-desist order, agreement, consent agreement, memorandum of understanding or other regulatory
enforcement action, proceeding or order with or by, or is a party to any commitment letter, or is subject to any directive by, or has been a recipient of any supervisory letter from any Regulatory Agency (as defined below) that, in each case,
currently relates to or restricts in any respect the conduct of their business or that in any manner relates to capital adequacy, credit policies or management, nor at the request or direction of any Regulatory Agency has the Company or any of its
subsidiaries adopted any board resolution that is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect (each, a “Regulatory Agreement”), nor has the Company or any of its subsidiaries been advised by any Regulatory Agency that such
Regulatory Agency is considering issuing or requesting any such Regulatory Agreement or any such Regulatory Agreement is pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened. Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement, the General
Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, the Company and its subsidiaries are each in compliance with any Regulatory Agreements, and there 

  
 12 

 
is no unresolved violation, criticism or exception by any Regulatory Agency with respect to any report or statement relating to any examinations of the Company or any of its subsidiaries which,
in the reasonable judgment of the Company, currently results in or is expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. As used herein, the term “Regulatory Agency” means any Governmental Entity having supervisory or regulatory
authority with respect to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, including, but not limited to, any federal or state agency charged with the supervision or regulation of depositary institutions or holding companies of depositary institutions, or
engaged in the insurance of depositary institution deposits. 
 (xxxiii)     Each “employee benefit
plan” (as defined under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder (collectively, “ERISA”)) established or maintained by the Company, its
subsidiaries or their “ERISA Affiliates” (as defined below) is in compliance with ERISA, except where the failure to be in compliance with ERISA would not result in a Material Adverse Effect. “ERISA Affiliate” means, with
respect to the Company or a subsidiary, any member of any group of organizations described in Section 414(b), (c), (m) or (o) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder (the
“Code”) of which the Company or such subsidiary is a member. No “reportable event” (as defined under ERISA) has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur with respect to any “employee benefit plan” established or
maintained by the Company, its subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates. The fair market value of the assets of each ERISA Affiliate defined benefit pension plan exceeds the present value of such plan’s “benefit liabilities” (as
defined in Section 4001(a)(16) of ERISA), and no ERISA Affiliate defined benefit pension plan has an “accumulated funding deficiency” (as defined in Section 302 of ERISA). None of the Company, its subsidiaries nor any of their ERISA
Affiliates has incurred or reasonably expects to incur any liability under (A) Title IV of ERISA with respect to termination of, or withdrawal from, any “employee benefit plan” or (B) Sections 412, 4971 or 4975 of the Code. Each
“employee benefit plan” established or maintained by the Company, its subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination or opinion letter
from the Internal Revenue Service regarding its qualification under such section and, to the knowledge of the Company, its subsidiaries and its ERISA affiliates, nothing has occurred whether by action or failure to act, which would cause the loss of
such qualification. 
 (xxxiv)     The Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, are insured by
insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as the Company reasonably believes are prudent and customary in the business in which the Company and its subsidiaries are engaged. Neither the Company
nor any of its subsidiaries has any reason to believe that it will not be able to obtain insurance coverage from insurers similar to their current insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at a cost that would not have a Material Adverse
Effect. To the knowledge of the Company, neither the Company nor any subsidiary has been denied any insurance coverage which it has sought or for which it has applied in any instance in which such insurance coverage was offered by the carrier from
which the Company or such subsidiary sought such coverage or to which it applied for such coverage. 

(xxxv)    At the Delivery Date, all stock transfer or other taxes (other than income taxes) that are
required to be paid in connection with the sale and transfer of the Shares will have been fully 

  
 13 

 
paid or provided for by the Company and all laws imposing taxes will have been fully complied with. 

(xxxvi)     The Company and its subsidiaries have (i) filed all necessary federal, state and foreign
income and franchise tax returns that they are required to have filed or have properly requested extensions of the deadline for the filing therefor and all such tax returns as filed are true, complete and correct in all material respects and
(ii) have paid all taxes required to be paid by any of them, other than such taxes as may be paid at a later date without any penalty or fine and except for any such tax, assessment, fine or penalty that is currently being contested in good
faith by appropriate actions and except for such taxes, assessments, fines or penalties, the nonpayment or late payment of which would not, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

(xxxvii) No labor dispute with the employees of the Company or any subsidiary exists or, to the knowledge of the Company, is
imminent, which, in any case, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (xxxviii) Except as
disclosed in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, the operations of the Company and its subsidiaries are and have been conducted at all times in compliance in all material respects with applicable financial
recordkeeping and reporting requirements of the Currency and Foreign Transactions Reporting Act of 1970, as amended, money laundering statutes applicable to the Company and its subsidiaries, the rules and regulations thereunder and any related or
similar rules, regulations or guidelines, issued, administered or enforced by any governmental agency (collectively, the “Money Laundering Laws”), and no action, suit or proceeding by or before any court or governmental agency,
authority or body or any arbitrator involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries with respect to the Money Laundering Laws is pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened. 

(xxxix)     The Company has not distributed and, prior to the later to occur of (i) the Delivery Date
and (ii) completion of the distribution of the Shares, will not distribute any offering materials in connection with the offering and sale of the Shares other than the Prospectus and, subject to compliance with the terms and conditions herein,
any Issuer-Represented Free Writing Prospectus. 
 (xxxvii) No forward-looking statement (within the meaning of Section 27A
of the 1933 Act and Section 21E of the 1934 Act) contained in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package, the Prospectus and any Issuer-Represented Free Writing Prospectus has been made or reaffirmed without a reasonable basis or has
been disclosed other than in good faith. 
 (xxxviii) Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has participated in
any reportable transaction, as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-(4)(b)(1). 
 (xxxix) Each of the Company and
its subsidiaries has good and marketable title to all securities held by it (except securities sold under repurchase agreements, pledged to secure deposits or derivative contracts or held in any fiduciary or agency capacity) free and clear of any
lien, claim, charge, option, encumbrance, mortgage, pledge or security interest or other restriction of any kind, except to the extent such securities are pledged in the ordinary course of business 

  
 14 

 
consistent with prudent business practices to secure obligations of the Company or any of its subsidiaries and except for such defects in title or liens, claims, charges, options, encumbrances,
mortgages, pledges or security interests or other restrictions of any kind that would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect. The value of such securities as reflected in the accounting records of the Company and
its subsidiaries has been determined in accordance with GAAP. 
 (xl)    Any and all material swaps,
caps, floors, futures, forward contracts, option agreements (other than employee stock options) and other derivative financial instruments, contracts or arrangements, whether entered into for the account of the Company or one of its subsidiaries or
for the account of a customer of the Company or one of its subsidiaries, were entered into in the ordinary course of business and in accordance with prudent business practice and applicable laws, rules, regulations and policies of all applicable
regulatory agencies and with counterparties believed to be financially responsible at the time of execution of such instruments, contracts or arrangements. The Company and each of its subsidiaries have duly performed all of their respective
obligations thereunder to the extent that such obligations to perform have accrued, and there are no breaches, violations or defaults or allegations or assertions of such by any party thereunder, except for such breaches, violations, defaults,
allegations or assertions that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 

(xli)    Neither the Company nor, to the knowledge of the Company, any director, officer, agent, employee
or affiliate of the Company is (a) currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Treasury Department (“OFAC”); or (b) located, organized or resident in a country
or territory that is the subject of such sanctions (including, without limitation, Crimea, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan and Syria). The Company will not, directly or indirectly, use the proceeds of the offering contemplated hereby, or lend,
contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds to any of its subsidiaries, any joint venture partner of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any other person or entity, for the purpose of financing the activities of any person, or engage
in dealings or transactions with any person, or in any country, or territory, subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by OFAC in violation of such sanctions. 

(xlii)    Except as described in the Registration Statement, General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus,
there are no material off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements, obligations (including contingent obligations), or any other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons to which the Company
or any of its subsidiaries is a party, that would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. 

(xliii)    To the knowledge of the Company, after due inquiry, there are no affiliations with any FINRA
member firm among the Company’s officers, directors, or principal shareholders, except as set forth in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, or as otherwise disclosed in writing to the Agent. 

(b)     The Bank represents and warrants to the Agent, as of the date hereof, each Representation Date (as
defined in Section 5(o) below), each Applicable Time (as defined to in 

  
 15 

 
Section 1(a)(v) hereof) and each Delivery Date (as defined in Section 2(i) below), and agrees with the Agent, as follows: 

(i)    The Bank has been duly chartered and is validly existing as a New York-chartered bank in good
standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, with the corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business as described in the Prospectus and to enter into and perform its obligations
under this Agreement. The Bank is the only depository institution subsidiary of the Company and the Bank is a member in good standing of the Federal Home Loan Bank System. The Bank is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to transact business and
is in good standing in each other jurisdiction in which such qualification is required, whether by reason of the ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of business, except where the failure to so qualify or to be in good standing would not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The activities of the Bank and its subsidiaries are permitted under the laws and regulations of the State of New York and the deposit accounts in the Bank are insured up to the
applicable limits by the FDIC and no proceeding for the termination or revocation of such insurance is pending or, to the knowledge of the Bank, threatened against the Bank. 

(ii)    The Bank is not in violation of its articles of incorporation or bylaws or in default in the
performance or observance of any obligation, agreement, covenant or condition contained in any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, note, lease or other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its
properties may be bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Bank is subject except for such defaults that would not be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by
the Bank and, when duly executed by the Agent, will constitute the valid and binding agreement of the Bank, enforceable against the Bank in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally or by general equitable principles and except as any indemnification or contribution provisions thereof may be limited under applicable
securities, banking laws and public policy considerations. The Bank has the full power and authority to enter into this Agreement. 

(iii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Bank and the compliance and performance by the Bank with the
provisions of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Bank and do not and will not, whether with or without the giving of notice or
passage or time or both, conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default or result in a Repayment Event under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement
or instrument to which the Bank or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which the Bank or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Bank or any of its subsidiaries is subject, nor will such action result
in any violation of the provisions of the articles of association or bylaws of the Bank or any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any Governmental Entity having jurisdiction over the Bank or any of its subsidiaries or any of their
properties, except for those conflicts, breaches, violations, defaults or Repayment Events that would not result in a Material Adverse Effect. 

  
 16 

 (c)     Any certificate signed by an officer of the Company
or the Bank and delivered to the Agent in connection with the offering of Shares shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Company and/or the Bank, as applicable, to the Agent as to the matters set forth therein. 

2.     (a) On the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements herein contained and subject to
the terms and conditions set forth herein, upon the Agent’s acceptance of the terms of a Placement Notice (as defined in Section 2(b) below) or such other instructions provided by the Company to the Agent
pursuant to Section 2(b) or upon receipt by the Agent of an Acceptance (as defined in Section 2(c) below), as the case may be, and unless the sale of the Placement Shares (as
defined in Section 2(b) below) described therein has been declined, suspended or otherwise terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Company agrees to issue and sell through the Agent, as
sales agent, and the Agent agrees, subject to the limitations and provisions in this Section 2 or as may otherwise be agreed to between the parties from time to time, to use its commercially reasonable
efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell as sales agent for the Company, the Shares. Sales of the Shares, if any, through the Agent acting as sales agent will be made by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions
or otherwise at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. 

(b)    The Shares are to be sold on a daily basis or otherwise as shall be agreed to by the Company and
the Agent on any day that is a trading day for the NASDAQ Global Select Market (other than a day on which the NASDAQ Stock Market is scheduled to close prior to its regular weekday closing time) (each, a “Trading Day”), and the
Company has instructed the Agent to make such sales. Prior to the commencement of the offering, when the Company wishes to issue and sell the Shares hereunder, it will notify the Agent at least one “business day,” as defined in
Rule 100 of Regulation M of the 1933 Act Regulations (a “Regulation M Business Day”), to the extent Regulation M is applicable to the Company, prior to the Trading Day on which sales are desired to commence by e-mail notice (or other method mutually agreed to in writing by the parties) containing the parameters in accordance with which it desires the Shares to be sold, which shall at a minimum include the number of Shares
desired to be issued (the “Placement Shares”), a form of which is attached hereto as Annex I (a “Placement Notice”). The Placement Notice shall originate from any of the
individuals from the Company set forth on Schedule I (with a copy to each of the other individuals from the Company listed on such schedule), and shall be addressed to each of the individuals from the Agent set forth
on Schedule I, as such Schedule I may be amended from time to time. On any Trading Day that the Company wishes to issue and sell the Shares hereunder (each, a “Placement”), the Company may instruct
the Agent by telephone (confirmed promptly by telecopy or email, which confirmation will be promptly acknowledged by the Agent), or such other method mutually agreed to in writing by the parties, as to the maximum number of Shares to be sold by the
Agent on such day (in any event not in excess of the number available for sale under the Prospectus and the currently effective Registration Statement) and the minimum price per Share at which such Shares may be sold. 

(c)    If the Agent wishes to accept such proposed terms included in the Placement Notice (which it may
decline to do for any reason in its sole discretion) or, following discussion with the Company, wishes to accept amended terms, the Agent will, prior to 4:30 p.m. (New York City Time) on the business day following the business day on which
such 

  
 17 

 
Placement Notice is delivered to the Agent, issue to the Company a notice by e-mail (or other method mutually agreed to in writing by the parties)
addressed to all of the individuals from the Company and Agent set forth on Schedule I) setting forth the terms that the Agent is willing to accept. Where the terms provided in the Placement Notice are amended as provided for in the immediately
preceding sentence, such terms will not be binding on the Company or the Agent until the Company delivers to the Agent an acceptance by e-mail (or other method mutually agreed to in writing by the parties) of
all of the terms of such Placement Notice, as amended (the “Acceptance”), which e-mail shall be addressed to all of the individuals from the Company and the Agent set forth on Schedule
I. The Placement Notice (as amended by the corresponding Acceptance, if applicable) shall be effective upon receipt by the Company of the Agent’s acceptance of the terms of the Placement Notice or upon receipt by the Agent of the
Company’s Acceptance, as the case may be, unless and until (i) the entire amount of the Placement Shares has been sold, (ii) in accordance with the notice requirements set forth in the second sentence
of Section 2(d) below, the Company terminates the Placement Notice, (iii) the Company issues a subsequent Placement Notice with parameters superseding those on the earlier dated Placement Notice,
(iv) this Agreement has been terminated under the provisions of Section 9 or (v) either party shall have suspended the sale of the Placement Shares in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. It is
expressly acknowledged and agreed that neither the Company nor the Agent will have any obligation whatsoever with respect to a Placement or any Placement Shares unless and until the Company delivers a Placement Notice to the Agent and either
(i) the Agent accepts the terms of such Placement Notice or (ii) where the terms of such Placement Notice are amended, the Company accepts such amended terms by means of an Acceptance pursuant to the terms set forth above, and then only
upon the terms specified in the Placement Notice (as amended by the corresponding Acceptance, if applicable) and herein. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of a Placement Notice (as amended by the
corresponding Acceptance, if applicable), the terms of the Placement Notice (as amended by the corresponding Acceptance, if applicable) will control. 

(d)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not authorize the issuance and sale of, and the
Agent shall not be obligated to use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell, any Shares (i) at a price lower than the minimum price therefor authorized from time to time, or (ii) in a number in excess of the aggregate number of shares
or gross sale price of Shares authorized from time to time to be issued and sold under this Agreement, in each case, by the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) or a duly authorized committee or subcommittee thereof (the
“Designated Subcommittee”), and notified to the Agent in writing. In addition, the Company or the Agent may, upon notice to the other party hereto by telephone (confirmed promptly by
e-mail to those individuals specified on Schedule I), suspend or terminate the offering of the Shares for any reason and at any time; provided, however, that such suspension or termination shall
not affect or impair the parties’ respective obligations with respect to the Shares sold hereunder or which an investor has agreed to purchase but which have not been delivered by the Company and paid for by such investor as contemplated
hereby, prior to the giving of such notice. 
 (e)    Under no circumstances shall the aggregate gross
sale price or number of Shares sold pursuant to this Agreement exceed the aggregate gross sale price or number of shares, as the case may be, of Common Stock (i) set forth in the preamble paragraph of this Agreement, (ii) available for
issuance under the Prospectus and the then currently effective Registration 

  
 18 

 
Statement or (iii) authorized from time to time to be issued and sold under this Agreement by the Board or the Designated Subcommittee and notified to the Agent in writing. In addition,
under no circumstances shall any Shares be sold at a price lower than the minimum price therefor authorized from time to time by the Board or the Designated Subcommittee and notified to the Agent in writing. The Agent covenants and agrees not
to make any sales of the Shares on behalf of the Company other than as permitted by the terms of this Agreement. 

(f)    Subject to the terms of the Placement Notice (as amended by the corresponding Acceptance, if
applicable) or such other instructions provided by the Company to the Agent pursuant to Section 2(b), the Agent may sell Placement Shares by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market”
offering as defined in Rule 415 of the Act, including without limitation sales made directly on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, on any other existing trading market for the Common Stock or to or through a market maker. Subject to the
terms of the Placement Notice (as amended by the corresponding Acceptance, if applicable) or such other instruction provided by the Company to the Agent pursuant to Section 2(b), the Agent may also sell Placement
Shares by any other method permitted by law, including but not limited to privately negotiated transactions subject to the approval of the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein and for a period of time beginning one
Regulation M Business Day prior to the time when the first sale pursuant to a Placement Notice occurs, to the extent Regulation M is applicable, and continuing through the time such Placement Notice is in effect, the Agent agrees that in no event
will it or any of its affiliates engage in any market making, stabilization or other market or trading activity with regard to the Shares if such activity would be prohibited under Regulation M or other anti-manipulation rules under the 1933
Act or the 1934 Act. 
 (g)    The compensation payable to the Agent for sales of Shares shall be equal
to 3.0% of the aggregate purchase price of the Shares sold in the offering. The remaining proceeds, after further deduction for any transaction fees, transfer taxes or other similar fees, taxes or charges imposed by any federal, state, local or
other governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory organization in respect of such sales, shall constitute the net proceeds to the Company for such Shares (the “Net Proceeds”). The Agent shall notify the Company as promptly as
practicable if any deduction described in the preceding sentence will be required. 
 (h)    The Agent
shall provide written confirmation (which may be by e-mail) to the Company following the close of trading on the NASDAQ Global Select Market each day on which Shares are sold under this Agreement setting forth
the number of Shares sold on such day, the gross sales prices of the Shares, the volume weighted average price for all sales of the Company’s common stock (including the sale of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement) on such day, the Net
Proceeds to the Company and the compensation payable by the Company to the Agent under this Agreement with respect to such sales. 

(i)    Settlement for sales of Shares will occur on the third business day that is also a Trading Day
following the trade date on which such sales are made, unless another date shall be agreed to by the Company and the Agent (each such day, a “Delivery Date”). On each Delivery Date, the Shares sold through the Agent for
settlement on such date shall be delivered by the Company to the Agent against payment of the Net Proceeds from the sale of such Shares. Settlement for all Shares shall be effected by book-entry delivery of Shares to the Agent’s account at
The Depository Trust Company against payment by the Agent of the Net Proceeds from 

  
 19 

 
the sale of such Shares in same day funds delivered to an account designated by the Company. If the Company or its transfer agent (if applicable) shall default on its obligation to deliver
Shares on any Delivery Date, the Company shall (A) indemnify and hold the Agent harmless against any loss, claim or damage arising from or as a result of such default by the Company and (B) pay the Agent any commission to which it would
otherwise be entitled absent such default. If the Agent breaches this Agreement by failing to deliver the applicable Net Proceeds on any Delivery Date for Shares delivered by the Company, the Agent will pay the Company interest based on the
effective overnight federal funds rate until such Net Proceeds, together with such interest, have been fully paid. 

(j)    The Company agrees that any offer to sell, any solicitation of an offer to buy, or any sales of
Shares or any other equity security of the Company shall only be effected by or through the Agent, from the period beginning one Regulation M Business Day prior to the time when the first sale pursuant to a Placement Notice occurs, to the extent
Regulation M is applicable, and continuing through the time such Placement Notice is in effect; provided, however, that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to (i) exercise of any option, warrant, right or any conversion privilege set forth
in the instrument governing such security or any other security of the Company or (ii) sales solely to employees or security holders of the Company or its Subsidiaries, or to a trustee or other person acquiring such securities for the accounts
of such persons. 
 (k)    The Company consents to the Agent trading in the Common Stock for the
Agent’s own account and for the account of its clients at the same time as sales of the Shares occur pursuant to this Agreement or pursuant to a Terms Agreement. 

(l)    The Company acknowledges and agrees that (i) there can be no assurance that the Agent will be
successful in selling Shares, (ii) the Agent may not solicit any offers to buy the Shares, (iii) the Agent will incur no liability or obligation to the Company or any other person or entity if it does not sell Shares for any reason other
than a failure by the Agent to use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell such Shares as required under this Section 2, subject to the limitations and
provisions in this Section 2 or as may otherwise be agreed to between the parties from time to time and (iv) the Agent shall be under no obligation to purchase Shares on a principal basis pursuant to this
Agreement, except as otherwise agreed by the Agent and the Company in a Terms Agreement. 
 (m)    At
each Applicable Time, each Delivery Date and each Representation Date, the Company and the Bank shall be deemed to have affirmed each representation, warranty, covenant and other agreement contained in this Agreement. 

3.     (a) If the Company wishes to issue and sell the Shares other than as set forth
in Section 2 of this Agreement (an “Alternative Placement”), it will notify the Agent of the proposed terms of such Alternative Placement. If the Agent, acting as principal or agent, wishes to
accept such proposed terms and the Company wishes to enter into an Alternative Placement with the Agent (which it may decline to do for any reason in its sole discretion) or, following discussions with the Company wishes to accept amended terms,
then the Agent and the Company will enter into a Terms Agreement, setting forth the terms of such Alternative Placement.

  
 20 

 (b)    The terms set forth in a Terms Agreement will not be
binding on the Company or the Agent unless and until the Company and the Agent have each executed such Terms Agreement accepting all of the terms of such Terms Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms
of a Terms Agreement, the terms of such Terms Agreement will control. 
 4.    (a) Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement, (i) the Company shall not offer or sell, or request the offer or sale of, any Shares, (ii) the Company, by notice to the Agent given by telephone (confirmed promptly by
e-mail), shall cancel any instructions for the offer or sale of Shares, and (iii) the Agent shall not be obligated to offer or sell any Shares, (x) unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the
parties hereto (which agreement may be contained in a Placement Notice or in such other instructions provided by the Company to the Agent pursuant to Section 2(b)) during any period in which the Company’s insider trading
policy, as it exists on the date of this Agreement, would prohibit the purchases or sales of the Common Stock by its officers or directors, (y) at any time or during any period that the Company is in possession of material non-public information or (z) except as provided in Section 4(b) below, at any time from and including the date (each, an “Announcement Date”) on which the Company shall
issue a press release containing, or shall otherwise publicly announce, its earnings, revenues or other results of operations (each, an “Earnings Announcement”) through and including the time that is twenty-four (24) hours
after the time that the Company files (a “Filing Time”) a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or an Annual Report on Form 10-K that includes
consolidated financial statements as of and for the same period or periods, as the case may be, covered by such Earnings Announcement. For purposes of this Section 4(a) and Section 4(b) below,
references to “twenty-four (24) hours” shall exclude any hours in a day that is not a business day. 

(b)    If the Company wishes to offer or sell Shares on any date during the period from and including an
Announcement Date through and including the time that is twenty-four (24) hours after the corresponding Filing Time, the Company shall (i) prepare and deliver to the Agent (with a copy to counsel to the Agent) a Current Report on Form 8-K which shall include substantially the same financial and related information as was set forth in the relevant Earnings Announcement (other than any earnings projections or similar forward-looking data)
(each, an “Earnings 8-K”), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, and obtain the consent of the Agent to the filing thereof (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld
or delayed), (ii) provide the Agent with the officers’ certificate and accountants’ letter called for by Section 5(o) and Section 5(q), respectively, and (iii) file such Earnings 8-K with the Commission. If the Company fully satisfies the requirements of clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 4(b), then the provisions of clause
(ii) of Section 4(a) shall not be applicable for the period from and after the time at which the foregoing conditions shall have been satisfied (or, if later, the time that is twenty-four (24) hours after the time
that the relevant Earnings Announcement was first publicly released) through and including the time that is twenty-four (24) hours after the Filing Time of the relevant Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
or Annual Report on Form 10-K, as the case may be. For purposes of clarity, the parties hereto agree that (A) the delivery of any officers’ certificate or accountants’ letter pursuant
to this Section 4(b) shall not relieve the Company from any of its obligations under this Agreement with respect to any such Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Annual Report on Form 10-K, as the case may be, including, without limitation, the obligation to deliver officers’ certificates, accountants’ letters and legal opinions and related letters as provided
in Section 7 hereof, (B) this Section 4(b) shall in no way 

  
 21 

 
affect the provisions of clause (x) of Section 4(a), which shall have independent application and (C) the provisions of this Section 4(b) shall in no way
affect the Company’s ability to file, subject to compliance with other applicable provisions of this Agreement, Current Reports on Form 8-K relating to earnings or other matters. 

5.    The Company agrees with the Agent: 

(a)    To prepare the Prospectus in a form approved by the Agent and to file such Prospectus pursuant to
Rule 424(b) of the 1933 Act Regulations (without reliance on Rule 424(b)(8) of the 1933 Act Regulations) not later than the Commission’s close of business on the second business day following the execution and delivery of
this Agreement, or, if applicable, such earlier time as may be required by Rule 430B of the 1933 Act Regulations (or, if applicable, Rule 430A of the 1933 Act Regulations); to make no further amendment or any supplement to the Registration
Statement or Prospectus which shall be disapproved by the Agent promptly after reasonable notice thereof; to advise the Agent, promptly after it receives notice thereof, of the time when any amendment to the Registration Statement or any
Rule 462(b) Registration Statement has been filed or becomes effective or any supplement to the Prospectus or any amended Prospectus has been filed and to furnish the Agent with copies thereof; to advise the Agent, promptly after it
receives notice thereof, of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order or of any order preventing or suspending the use of any Issuer-Represented Free Writing Prospectus or Prospectus, of the suspension of the qualification of the Shares for
offering or sale in any jurisdiction, of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for any such purpose, or of any request by the Commission for the amending or supplementing of the Registration Statement, any Issuer-Represented Free Writing
Prospectus or Prospectus (in each case, including any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein) or for additional information; and in the event of the issuance of any stop order or of any order preventing or suspending
the use of any Issuer-Represented Free Writing Prospectus or Prospectus or suspending any such qualification, promptly to use its best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of such order. 

(b)    The Company will, during any period when the delivery of a prospectus is required in connection
with the offering or sale of Shares (including, without limitation, pursuant to Rule 173(d) of the 1933 Act Regulations), if any event shall have occurred as a result of which the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include an
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or, if for any other reason it shall be necessary
to amend or supplement the Prospectus (including, without limitation, any document incorporated by reference therein) in order to comply with the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act, notify the Agent and, upon its request, file such document and prepare and
furnish without charge to the Agent as many copies as the Agent may from time to time reasonably request of an amended or supplemented Prospectus (or incorporated document, as the case may be) that will correct such statement or omission or effect
such compliance. Upon such notification, the Agent will cease selling the Shares on the Company’s behalf pursuant to this Agreement and suspend the use of the Prospectus until such amendment or supplement is filed; provided, however, that
such suspension or termination shall not affect or impair the parties’ respective obligations with respect to the Shares sold hereunder or which an investor has agreed to purchase but which has not been delivered by the Company and paid for by
such investor as contemplated hereby, prior to the giving of such notice. 

  
 22 

 (c)    The Company represents and agrees that, unless it
obtains the prior written consent of the Agent, and the Agent represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior written consent of the Company, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Shares that would constitute an
“issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433 of the 1933 Act Regulations, or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 405 of the 1933 Act Regulations, required to be
filed with the Commission. Any such free writing prospectus consented to by the Company and the Agent is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.” The Company represents that it has treated and
agrees that it will treat each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433, and has complied and will comply with the requirements of Rule 433 applicable to any Permitted Free
Writing Prospectus, including timely filing with the Commission where required, legending and record keeping. The Company represents that it has satisfied the conditions in Rule 433 to avoid a requirement to file with the Commission any
electronic road show. 
 (d)     Promptly from time to time, to take such action as the Agent may
reasonably request to qualify the Shares for offering and sale under the securities laws of such states and other jurisdictions as the Agent may reasonably request and to comply with such laws so as to permit the continuance of sales and dealings
therein in such jurisdictions for as long as may be necessary to complete the distribution of the Shares, provided that in connection therewith the Company shall not be required to qualify as a foreign corporation or to file a general consent to
service of process in any jurisdiction or subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction if it is otherwise not so subject. 

(e)        Prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the New York Business Day next
succeeding the date of this Agreement during the period in which a prospectus is required to be delivered under the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act in connection with any sale of Shares (including, without limitation, pursuant to Rule 173(d) of
the 1933 Act Regulations), to furnish the Agent with copies of the Prospectus in New York City in such quantities as the Agent may from time to time reasonably request, and, if the delivery of a prospectus is required at any time prior to the
expiration of nine (9) months after the time of issue of the Prospectus in connection with the offering or sale of the Shares and if at such time any event shall have occurred as a result of which the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented
would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made when such Prospectus is delivered, not
misleading, or, if for any other reason it shall be necessary during such period to amend or supplement the Prospectus in order to comply with the 1933 Act or the 1933 Act Regulations, to notify the Agent and upon its request to prepare and furnish
without charge to the Agent and to any dealer in securities as many copies as the Agent may from time to time reasonably request of an amended Prospectus or a supplement to the Prospectus which will correct such statement or omission or effect such
compliance, and in case the Agent is required to deliver a prospectus in connection with sales of any of the Shares at any time nine (9) months or more after the time of issue of the Prospectus, upon its request, to prepare and deliver to the
Agent as many copies as the Agent may request of an amended or supplemented Prospectus complying with Section 10(a)(3) of the 1933 Act. 

  
 23 

 (f)    To make generally available to its securityholders as
soon as practicable, an earnings statement of the Company and its subsidiaries (which need not be audited) complying with Section 11(a) of the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations (including Rule 158). 

(g)    Until completion of the distribution of the Shares or such time as the Company is no longer subject
to the requirements of the 1934 Act, the Company will file all documents required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to the 1934 Act within the time periods required by the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission
thereunder. 
 (h)    During a period of five (5) years from the date of the latest effective date
of the Registration Statement, to furnish to the Agent copies of all reports or other communications (financial or other) furnished to shareholders, and to deliver to the Agent as soon as they are available, copies of any reports and financial
statements furnished to or filed with the Commission or any national securities exchange on which any class of securities of the Company is listed; provided, however, that any such reports or communications that have been furnished or filed with the
Commission and are available on its EDGAR system, or successor filings system thereto, shall be deemed to have been furnished to the Agent. 

(i)    To use the net proceeds received by it from the sale of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement in
the manner specified in each of the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus under the caption “Use of Proceeds”. 

(j)    If the Company elects to rely on Rule 462(b) of the 1933 Act Regulations, the Company
shall file a Rule 462(b) Registration Statement with the Commission in compliance with Rule 462(b) of the 1933 Act Regulations by 10:00 p.m., Washington, D.C. time, on the date of this Agreement, and the Company shall at the time

(n)    The Company will reasonably cooperate on a timely basis with any reasonable due diligence request
from, or review conducted by, the Agent or its counsel from time to time in connection with offers and sales of Shares, including, without limitation, and upon reasonable notice, providing information and making available documents and appropriate

  
 24

“Due Diligence Process”). 
 (o)    Upon the commencement of the period during which
Shares are to be sold as instructed by the Company under the applicable Placement Notice (as amended by the corresponding Acceptance if applicable) given hereunder and during the pendency thereof, promptly after each (i) date the Registration

under Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act or (3) by a prospectus supplement relating to the offering of other securities (including, without limitation, other shares of Common Stock)) (each such date, a “Registration

opinion and letter to the Agent shall furnish the Agent with a letter substantially to the effect that the Agent may rely on such counsel’s last opinion and letter to the same extent as though each were dated the date of such letter authorizing
reliance (except that statements in such last opinion and letter shall be deemed to relate to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the General Disclosure Package as amended and supplemented to the date of such letter authorizing
reliance). As used in this paragraph, to the extent there shall be an Applicable Time on or following the applicable Representation Date, “promptly” shall be deemed to be on or prior to the next succeeding Applicable Time. Solely

provisions of this 

  
 26 

 
Agreement) or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, warrants or any rights to purchase or acquire Common Stock; provided, that no such restriction shall apply in
connection with (1) the issuance, grant or sale of Common Stock, options to purchase Common Stock, restricted stock units for Common Stock or Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of options or other equity awards pursuant to any stock
option, stock bonus or other stock or compensatory plan or arrangement described in the Prospectus or (2) the issuance or sale of Common Stock pursuant to any dividend reinvestment plan that the Company may adopt from time to time, provided the

contracts for the sale of Shares.

any Agent within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, and its respective partners, directors, officers, employees and agents and each affiliate of an Agent within the meaning of Rule 405 against any
losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which an Agent may become subject, under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package, the Prospectus, or any individual Issuer-Represented Limited-Use Free
Writing Prospectus, which considered together with the General Disclosure Package, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein 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 will reimburse the Agent for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Agent in connection with
investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or
is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package, the Prospectus, or any individual Issuer-Represented
Limited-Use Free Writing Prospectus, which considered together with the General Disclosure Package, or any amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the
Company by the Agent expressly for use therein, provided that the Company and the Agent hereby acknowledge and agree that the only information that the Agent has furnished to the Company consists solely of the information described as such in
subsection (b) below. 
 (b)     The Agent agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its
officers, directors and each person, if any, who controls the Company, within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company may become
subject, under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the
Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package, the Prospectus, or any individual Issuer-Represented Limited-Use Free Writing Prospectus, which considered together with the General Disclosure Package,
or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein 

  
 30 

 
or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package, the Prospectus, or any individual Issuer-Represented Limited-Use
Free Writing Prospectus, which considered together with the General Disclosure Package, or any amendment or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Agent expressly for use
therein (provided, however, that the Company and the Agent hereby acknowledge and agree that the only such information that any Agent has furnished to the Company consists solely of the following: (i) the statements set forth in the final
sentence of the first paragraph under the “Plan of Distribution” in the Prospectus Supplement, and (ii) such other statements as the Agent may, by notice given to the Company in writing after the date of this Agreement, have been
furnished to the Company by the Agent specifically for inclusion in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, the General Disclosure Package, any Issuer-Represented Limited-Use Free Writing Prospectus or any
amendment or supplement thereto (collectively, the “Agent’s Information”) and will reimburse the Company for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with investigating or defending any
such action or claim as such expenses are incurred. 
 (c)     Promptly after receipt by an indemnified
party under subsection (a) or (b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party
in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under such subsection, unless the indemnifying party has
been prejudiced thereby. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the
extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, be counsel to the indemnifying party), provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the
indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that a conflict may arise between the positions of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to its
and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses of such indemnified
party or parties (but not to control the defense of such action as to the indemnifying party) and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties, and, after notice from the indemnifying party to
such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case
subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the
preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate counsel (together with, to the extent necessary in the circumstances, one separate local counsel in
the jurisdiction in which such action is pending) 

  
 31 

 
to represent all indemnified parties, approved by the indemnifying party) or (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party within a
reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of one counsel for the indemnified party or parties (in addition to local counsel) shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party. The
indemnifying party under this Section 8 shall not be liable for any settlement or compromise of or agreed judgment in any proceedings effected or agreed to without its prior express written consent, but if any such proceeding is settled or
compromised, or an agreed judgment is entered into, with such consent or if there be a final judgment (other than an agreed judgment) rendered in favor of for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party against
any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of such settlement, compromise, agreed judgment or other judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or
consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such
action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an
admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party. 
 (d)
    If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Agent on the other from the offering of the Shares. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding
sentence is not permitted by applicable law, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative
fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Agent, on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Agent, on the other, shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company
bear to the total discounts and commissions received by the Agent. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to
state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, on the one hand, or the Agent, on the other, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or
omission. The Company and the Agent agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of
the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection
(d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. 

  
 32 

 (e)     The obligations of the Company under this
Section 8 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of the 1933 Act) the Agent, or any of the
respective partners, directors, officers and employees of the Agent or any such controlling person. The obligations of the Agent under this Section 8 shall be in addition to any liability which the Agent may otherwise have and shall extend,
upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of the 1933 Act) the Company or any of the directors and officers of the Company or any such controlling person. 

(f)     The remedies provided for in this Section 8 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights
or remedies which may otherwise be available to an indemnified party at law or in equity. 
 9.     (a)
The Company shall have the right, by giving written notice as hereinafter specified, to terminate this Agreement in its sole discretion at any time. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except that
(i) with respect to any pending sale through the Agent for the Company, the obligations of the Company, including in respect of compensation of the Agent, shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination and (ii) the
representations and warranties in Section 1 and the provisions of Sections 6, 8, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16 of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination. 

(b)    The Agent shall have the right, by giving written notice as hereinafter specified, to terminate
this Agreement in its sole discretion at any time. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except that the representations and warranties in Section 1 and the
provisions of Sections 6, 8, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16 of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination. 

(c)    This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect unless terminated pursuant
to Section 9(a) or Section 9(b) above or otherwise by mutual agreement of the parties; provided, that any such termination shall in all cases be deemed to provide that the
representations and warranties in Section 1 and the provisions of Sections 6, 8, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16 of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination and will
automatically terminate following the sale of the Shares having an aggregate gross sales price of $40 million. 

(d)    Any termination of this Agreement shall be effective on the date specified in such notice of
termination or the date mutually agreed by the parties, as the case may be; provided, that such termination shall not be effective until the close of business on the date of receipt of such notice by the Agent or the Company, or the date mutually
agreed by the parties, as the case may be. If such termination shall occur prior to the Delivery Date for any sale of Stock, such sale shall settle in accordance with the provisions of Section 2(i) hereof. 

10.     The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the
Company and the Agent, as set forth in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof) made
by or on behalf of the Agent 

  
 33 

 
or any controlling person of the Agent, or the Company, or any officer or director or controlling person of the Company, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Shares. 

11.    If this Agreement is terminated, the Company shall not then be under any liability to the Agent
except as provided in Section 6 and Section 8 hereof, which provisions shall survive termination. 

12.    The Company acknowledges and agrees that: 

(a)    in connection with the sale of the Shares, the Agent has been retained solely to act as a sales
agent, and no fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship between the Company or the Bank, on the one hand, and the Agent, on the other hand, has been created in respect of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; 

(b)    it has been advised that the Agent and its affiliates are engaged in a broad range of transactions
which may involve interests that differ from those of the Company and that the Agent has no obligation to disclose such interests and transactions to the Company by virtue of any fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship; and 

(c)    it waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims it may have against the Agent for
breach of fiduciary duty or alleged breach of fiduciary duty and agrees that the Agent shall have no liability (whether direct or indirect) to the Company in respect of such a fiduciary duty claim or to any person asserting a fiduciary duty claim on
behalf of or in right of the Company, including shareholders, employees, depositors or creditors of the Company. 

13.    All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in writing, and if to the Agent
shall be delivered or sent by mail, overnight delivery service or facsimile transmission to the Agent at Sandler O’Neill + Partners, L.P., 1251 Avenue of the Americas, 6th Floor, New York,

deemed a successor or assign by reason merely of such purchase. 
 15.     Time shall be of the essence

the terms of this Agreement. Upon the occurrence of a default by TXHD, JSJ shall be entitled to take any and all lawful
