businesses or to the extent that such books, records and other data relate to Excluded Assets, Excluded Liabilities or Banking Center Employees who do not become Transferred Banking Center Employees, and all personnel files and records;
provided that, to the extent permitted under, and in accordance with, Section 7.1(b), Seller shall provide Purchaser with access to any such books, records and other data for which the above-referenced separation would cause

 (c) Purchaser understands and agrees that it is purchasing only the Purchased Assets (and assuming only the Assumed
Liabilities) specified in this Agreement and, except as may be expressly provided for in this Agreement, Purchaser has no interest in any other Relationship which Seller or any of its Affiliates has or may have with any Banking Center Customer or
any other customer of Seller or any of its Affiliates. Purchaser further understands and agrees that Seller and its Affiliates are retaining any and all rights and claims which any of them may have, including, but not limited to, indemnification or
reimbursement rights, with respect to the Purchased Assets and the Assumed Liabilities, to the extent that such rights or claims relate to the conduct of the Banking Centers prior to the Closing Date, unless such rights or claims relate to
liabilities, duties, responsibilities and obligations of Seller or any of its Affiliates arising or accruing on or prior to the Closing Date which are included in the Assumed Liabilities. Purchaser and Seller further acknowledge and agree that
Seller is not transferring to Purchaser and Purchaser will not acquire any of Seller’s or Seller’s Affiliates’ current or future Relationships (wherever conducted) associated with any of (i) their “commercial real
estate” line of business; (ii) their “corporate lending” line of business; (iii) their “commercial leasing” line of business; (iv) their “municipal” line of business; or (v) their private client
services line of business, in all of their respective phases (collectively, the “Excluded Business Activities”), and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 7.9, neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates
shall be restricted from engaging in the Excluded Business Activities, including within the markets where the Banking Centers are located. For clarity, Seller differentiates between the above-referenced “corporate lending” line of business
and its “business banking” line of business (sometimes referred to as “small business” lending). Seller’s corporate lending line of business consists of loans to businesses with annual revenues at or above $15 million or
aggregate loan exposures (including commitments under lines of credit and under letters of credit) to Seller and its Affiliates, determined on a consolidated basis, of $5.0 million or more whereas the business banking line of business concentrates
on loans to businesses that do not fall within either of the above parameters. The “business banking” line of business is not part of the Excluded Business Activities. 

(d) Purchaser and Seller acknowledge and agree that the Purchased Assets include the wealth management business conducted, as part of
retail operations, at the Banking Centers (i.e., the business of providing financial planning, insurance, investment advisory and similar services through financial advisors or licensed bankers located in the Banking Centers). 

Section 2.2 Assumption of Liabilities. (a) Assumed Liabilities. From and after the Closing, Purchaser will
assume, and will pay, perform and discharge as they become due, all of the following liabilities and obligations of Seller solely to the extent such liabilities and obligations are required to be satisfied, paid or performed after the Closing Date
(collectively, the “Assumed Liabilities”): 

  
 19

 Section 3.3 Final Closing Statement, Allocation of Fees and Expenses, and

in accordance with GAAP applied consistently with the practices used in the preparation of the Closing Statement except as and to the extent that this Agreement provides for different valuation methodologies for particular categories of Purchased

papers and documentation used by Seller in preparing the Final Closing Statement. 
 (b) Allocation of Fees and Expenses.
Except as otherwise provided herein, to effect the intention of the parties that the economics of the Banking Centers shall be for the account of Seller up to the Close of Business on the Closing Date and thereafter shall be for the account of
Purchaser, all fees and expenses with respect to the Banking Centers that related to both the period before and the period after the Closing Date, shall be prorated between Purchaser, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, based on the full
amount of the latest available bills or statements on the basis of a three hundred sixty-five (365)-day calendar year (except to the extent accrued on a three hundred sixty (360)-day calendar year, in which case proration shall be based on a three
hundred sixty (360)-day calendar year) as of the Close of Business on the Closing Date. In furtherance of the foregoing, all operating expenses related to the Banking Centers, as the case may be, including, but not limited to, rent, utility,
maintenance, and service expenses attributable to operations of the Banking Centers until the Close of Business on the Closing Date shall be paid by and shall be the obligation of Seller. All of such expenses attributable to operations of the
Banking Centers after the Close of Business on the Closing Date shall be paid by and be the obligation of Purchaser. All real and personal property, use and other Taxes imposed on a time basis with respect to the Banking Centers shall be prorated
between Purchaser, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, in the same manner based on the full amount of the Tax for the relevant period, unless such amount is not reasonably ascertainable, in which case the full amount of the Tax for the
prior period shall be used. Any rental income from subtenants or other third-party occupants of real property shall also be prorated between Purchaser, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, as of the Close of Business on the Closing Date.
To the extent that any Tax, fees or expenses described in this Section 3.3(b) are not discovered or the actual amount thereof is not known prior to the final determination of the Final Closing Statement, the parties shall cooperate with
one another so that Seller and Purchaser each pays its appropriate share of any such fee or expense, depending upon whether such fee or expense relates to the period before or after the Close of Business on the Closing Date. 

(c) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the determination of the Final Closing Statement shall be final and binding on the
parties hereto, unless, within thirty (30) days after receipt by Purchaser of the Final Closing Statement, Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing of its disagreement with any amount included therein or omitted therefrom (a “Purchaser
Objection”), in which case, if the parties are unable to resolve the disputed items within ten (10) Business Days of the receipt by Seller of notice of such disagreement, such items shall be

  
 22 

 
determined by a nationally recognized independent accounting firm selected by mutual agreement between Seller and Purchaser; provided, however, that in the event the fees of such
firm as estimated by such firm would exceed fifty percent (50%) of the net amount in dispute, the parties agree that such firm will not be engaged by either party and that such net amount in dispute will be equally apportioned between Seller
and Purchaser. Such accounting firm shall be instructed to resolve the disputed items within ten (10) Business Days of engagement, to the extent reasonably practicable. The determination of such accounting firm shall be final and binding on the
parties hereto. The fees of any such accounting firm shall be divided equally between Seller and Purchaser. 

(d) Not later than the Close of Business on the second (2nd) Business Day following the final determination of the Final Closing Statement, pursuant to
Section 3.3(c) (the “Adjustment Payment Date”), Seller and Purchaser shall effect the transfer of any funds as may be necessary to reflect changes in the Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities between the Closing
Statement and the Final Closing Statement and resulting changes in the Closing Payment and/or Premium, together with interest thereon computed from the Closing Date up to, but not including, the Adjustment Payment Date, at the Federal Funds Rate;
provided, however, that if a Purchaser Objection is timely made, within two (2) Business Days of the date of such Purchaser Objection, Seller and Purchaser shall effect the transfer of any funds as may be necessary to reflect the
undisputed portion of the changes in the Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities between the Closing Statement and the Final Closing Statement and resulting adjustments to the Closing Payment and/or Premium, together with interest thereon computed
from the Closing Date up to, but not including, the date of such payment at the Federal Funds Rate. 
 Section 3.4
Allocation of Consideration. (a) Within sixty (60) days after the Adjustment Payment Date, (i) Seller shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser a draft of a statement (an “Allocation Statement”) setting forth its
proposed calculation of the aggregate amount of consideration paid by Purchaser, in respect of the Purchased Assets conveyed at the Closing, and the proposed allocation in the form required in Section 1060 of the Code of such aggregate amount
among the Purchased Assets. If within thirty (30) days after Purchaser’s receipt of the draft Allocation Statement, Purchaser shall not have objected in writing to such draft statement, then such draft statement shall become the Allocation
Statement. In the event that Purchaser objects in writing within such thirty- (30) day period, Seller and Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the dispute. 
 (b) The parties hereto agree to report the allocation of the total consideration among the Purchased Assets in a manner consistent with the Allocation Statement, and agree to act consistently in the
preparation and filing of all Tax Returns (including filing Form 8594 with their respective federal income Tax Returns for the taxable year that includes the Closing Date and any other forms or statements required by the Code, Treasury regulations,
the Internal Revenue Service or any applicable state or local Taxing Authority) and in the course of any Tax audit, Tax review or Tax litigation relating thereto; provided that neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates nor Purchaser or any of
its Affiliates will be obligated to litigate any challenge to such allocation of the aggregate consideration by a Taxing Authority.

 25 

 
at the Banking Centers as currently conducted by it and is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction where its ownership of the Purchased Assets
and its conduct of business at the Banking Centers as currently conducted by it requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified or be in good standing in such other jurisdiction would not, individually or in the aggregate,
have a Material Adverse Effect. Seller will have a net worth following the Closing Date that is sufficient to enable it to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement. 
 Section 5.2 Authority; Capacity. Seller has the power and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement and any other documents executed pursuant hereto. This Agreement and any other
documents or instruments executed pursuant hereto and the execution, delivery and performance hereof and thereof have been duly authorized and approved by all necessary corporate action on the part of Seller, and this Agreement and the instruments
and documents executed pursuant hereto constitute, or when executed will constitute, the valid and binding obligations of Seller, enforceable against it in accordance with their terms, except as enforcement may be limited by receivership,
conservatorship and supervisory powers of bank regulatory agencies generally as well as by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights, or the limiting
effect of rules of law governing specific performance, equitable relief and other equitable remedies or the waiver of rights or remedies. 
 Section 5.3 Consents and Approvals. None of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries is required to obtain any order, permit, consent, approval or authorization of, or required to make any

would not reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 Section 5.4 No
Breaches; Defaults. Assuming receipt of the approvals referenced in Section 5.3, the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the instruments and documents executed pursuant hereto by Seller do not, and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not (i) result in a breach, violation of or default under any law, rule, regulation, judgment, order, governmental permit or license of to which Seller or its Subsidiaries is a party or by which
it is bound, except such breaches, violations or defaults that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) constitute a breach or violation of or a default under the articles of association, certificate

Section 5.19 shall be governed exclusively by Section 5.19 and not this Section 5.5 and compliance with law matters specifically addressed elsewhere in this Article V shall be governed by such specific
representations and not this Section 5.5. Except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a material adverse effect, neither Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries is subject to any order or ruling directed to it by, or
memorandum of understanding with, any Governmental Entity. Seller received a rating of satisfactory or higher in its most recent examination with respect to the CRA and has no reason to believe that it will not maintain at least a satisfactory

 (f) None of the
rights or remedies under the documentation relating to the Purchased Loans has been amended, modified, waived, subordinated or otherwise altered by Seller or any of its Subsidiaries, except as evidenced by a written instrument which is a part of the

medical or health benefits, or life insurance or other benefits (through insurance or otherwise) for any Person or any dependent or beneficiary of any Person after such Person’s retirement or other termination of employment except as may be
required by COBRA or applicable state law. No Employee Plan is a “multiemployer plan,” as defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA, and there has been no communication to any Person that could reasonably be expected to promise or guarantee
any such benefits. Each Employee Plan has been maintained, funded and administered in accordance with its terms and any applicable collective bargaining agreement, and each Employee Plan, Seller and each ERISA Affiliate, is in compliance with the
applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and all laws applicable thereto. Seller has made available to Purchaser copies of the plan documents, Annual Returns (Form 5500), most recent summary plan descriptions and annual enrollment guides with

 (a) Seller and its Subsidiaries are currently in compliance in all material respects with all Environmental Laws applicable
to any Banking Center Premises, and with respect to any operations or activities conducted by Seller or any of its Subsidiaries on such Banking Center Premises. Neither Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any written notice that there
has been any failure to comply with Environmental Laws applicable to the Banking Center Premises, and with respect to any operations or activities conducted by Seller or any of its Subsidiaries on such premises except any such notice with respect to
a failure to comply which has been fully resolved.

 (c) There is no suit, claim, demand, action, consent order, or proceeding
pending or, to the Knowledge of Seller, threatened in which Seller or any of its Subsidiaries or, with respect to threatened proceedings, could reasonably be expected to be named as a defendant, responsible party or potentially responsible party for

financial and other books and records kept by Seller and its Subsidiaries are in all material respects complete and accurate and have been maintained in the ordinary course of business and in compliance with in all material respects with Applicable
Law. The books and records included within the Purchased Assets include all customary branch, customer and customer-related information reasonably necessary to service the Assumed Deposits and Purchased Loans on an ongoing basis, and to otherwise
operate the business being acquired under this Agreement in substantially the manner currently operated by Seller. 

Section 5.21 Safe Deposit Boxes. Each of Seller and its Subsidiaries is in compliance, in all material respects, with the
terms and conditions of the Safe Deposit Agreements. 
 Section 5.22 Insurance Coverage. The business and operations

attributable to the Purchased Assets, have been timely paid, withheld and timely paid to the appropriate Taxing Authority, or reflected in an appropriate tax reserve in accordance with GAAP on the financial statements of Seller, other than those
Taxes the failure of which to be paid would not result in a Lien on the Purchased Assets or become a liability of Purchaser. 

(b) No notice of deficiency or assessment of Taxes has been received from any Taxing Authority with respect to the Purchased Assets.
There is no material dispute or claim concerning any Tax relating to the Purchased Assets either (A) claimed or raised by any Taxing Authority in writing or (B) of which Seller has Knowledge. There are no Liens on any of the Purchased
Assets that arose in connection with any failure (or alleged failure) to pay any Tax (whether or not such Tax relates to the Purchased Assets).

reasonably necessary, including by raising capital through a public or private equity or debt offering, to fully satisfy and achieve the regulatory capital expectations of any Governmental Entity with regulatory or supervision authority over
Purchaser.

report forms as may be required by Applicable Law with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including those of any applicable state, federal or foreign regulatory agency, and the parties hereto will use their reasonable best
efforts to obtain such approvals and accomplish such actions as expeditiously as possible; provided that, within forty-five (45) days after the date hereof, each party will file any application, notice or report required to be filed by
such party with any Governmental Entity with respect to any Regulatory Approval or otherwise required in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain a waiver from any applicable waiting
period, and will make any further filings pursuant thereto that may be necessary in connection therewith.

materials may be redacted (x) to remove references concerning the valuation of the Banking Centers or Purchased Assets (or any aspect thereof), (y) as necessary to comply with contractual arrangements, and (z) as necessary to address
reasonable privilege or confidentiality concerns. Each party agrees that it will use reasonable best efforts to keep the other party fully informed with respect to all applications and developments related thereto and, where reasonably practicable
under the circumstances, give the other party reasonable advance notice of, and whenever appropriate, invite the other party (and give due consideration in good faith to any reasonable request of the

  
 38 

 
other party) to participate in, any meetings or discussions held with any Governmental Entity; provided that such participation is not objected to by such Governmental Entity. The parties
further covenant and agree to mutually identify the most expedient method of effecting, as promptly as practicable, the legal transfer of all of the Purchased Assets and the Assumed Liabilities to Purchaser, and each party further covenants and
agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to so effectuate such transfer. The parties further covenant and agree not to extend any waiting period associated with any Regulatory Approval or enter into any agreement with any Governmental Entity not to
consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except with the prior written consent of the other party hereto. 

(e) The parties further covenant and agree that (i) with respect to any threatened or pending preliminary or permanent injunction or
other order, decree or ruling or statute, rule, regulation or executive order that would adversely affect the ability of the parties hereto to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, to use their respective best efforts to prevent the
entry, enactment or promulgation thereof, as the case may be, and (ii) in the event that any action, suit, proceeding or investigation is commenced after the date hereof challenging any of the parties’ rights to consummate the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, the parties shall use their best efforts, and take all actions necessary and appropriate, to contest such action, suit, proceeding or investigation. 

(f) Promptly upon the execution of this Agreement and subject to Applicable Law, Purchaser and Seller will reasonably coordinate in good
faith in respect of any communications by Seller with the parties whose consent is required. Seller and Purchaser, in consultation with each other, shall as promptly as practicable following the date hereof develop a communications and action plan
(which plan shall be designed to communicate promptly and follow up with all such parties with respect to, and to obtain, all such required consents), and shall keep each other reasonably informed regarding the progress and status of such efforts.

 (g) Each party represents, warrants and agrees that any information furnished by it for inclusion in any regulatory
application will to its Knowledge be true and complete in all material respects as of the date so furnished. 
 Section 7.3
Further Assurances. The parties agree that, from time to time, whether before, on or after the Closing Date, each of them will execute and deliver such further instruments of conveyance and transfer and take such other action as may be
reasonably necessary to carry out the purposes and intents of this Agreement. To the extent any Purchased Assets are currently held by an Affiliate of Seller, Seller shall enter into such agreements as are necessary in order to transfer the
Purchased Assets to Seller on or before the Closing Date, or otherwise ensure such Purchased Assets will be sold, transferred and assigned to Purchaser at the Closing, subject to the satisfaction of all conditions precedent to the Closing.

 Section 7.4 Notice of Changes. (a) Purchaser shall promptly advise Seller, and Seller shall promptly advise
Purchaser of (i) any change or event that would or would be reasonably likely to cause or constitute a material breach of any of Purchaser’s or Seller’, as applicable, representations, warranties or covenants contained herein, or
(ii) to the extent permitted by Applicable Law and to the Knowledge of Purchaser or Seller, as applicable, any governmental complaints, any change or event, including investigations or hearings (or communications indicating that the same may be
contemplated) or the institution or the threat of significant litigation, that would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. 

  
 39 

 (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a party’s good-faith failure to
comply with its obligations under this Section 7.4 shall not provide the other party hereto or any of such other party’s Affiliates with a right not to effect the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except, in each case, to
the extent that the underlying material breach of a representation, warranty or covenant would independently provide such right. 
 Section 7.5 Confidentiality. Each party to this Agreement shall hold, and shall cause its respective directors, officers, employees, agents, consultants and advisors to hold, in strict
confidence, except to the extent necessary to discharge obligations pursuant to Section 7.2 or unless compelled to disclose by judicial or administrative process or, based on the advice of its counsel, by other requirements of Applicable
Law or the applicable requirements of any regulatory agency or relevant stock exchange, all non-public records, books, contracts, instruments, computer data and other data and information (collectively, “Information”) concerning the
other party (or, if required under a contract with a third party, such third party) furnished to it by such other party or its representatives pursuant to the Confidentiality Agreement or otherwise in connection with the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement (except to the extent that such information can be shown to have been (i) previously known by such party on a non-confidential basis, (ii) in the public domain through no fault of such party or (iii) later lawfully
acquired from other sources by the party to which it was furnished), and neither Seller nor Purchaser shall release or disclose such Information to any other person, except its auditors, attorneys, financial advisors, bankers, other consultants and
advisors with a duty of confidentiality and, to the extent permitted above, any Governmental Entity. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each party will notify the other party promptly upon becoming aware that any of the Confidential
Information has been disclosed to or obtained by a third party (otherwise than as permitted by this Section 7.5). The Confidentiality Agreement is hereby terminated. 

Section 7.6 Publicity; Notices. Until the Closing Date, the parties hereto shall coordinate with each other as soon as
practicable in advance as to (i) the form and content of any external communication, including any communication intended for dissemination or to reach, or reasonably expected to be disseminated or to reach, members of the public or Banking
Center Customers regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) the form and content of any communication from Purchaser to the Banking Center Employees. Neither party shall disseminate any such communication without
adequate advance notice and the prior review of the other, which review shall not be unreasonably delayed, except that nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent the parties hereto from publishing any press release or from making any and all
public disclosures which it reasonably determines to be legally required to comply with any applicable securities laws or regulations or requests of governmental agencies or authorities; provided that, to the extent possible under the
circumstances, the party making such disclosure consults with the other party, and considers in good faith the views of the other party, before doing so. 

  
 40 

 Section 7.7 Restricted Assignments. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement
to the contrary, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign any Purchased Asset, Assumed Agreement, Assumed Deposits or other Assumed Liability, or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom if an
attempted assignment thereof, without the consent of a third party thereto, would constitute a breach thereof or in any way affect the rights of Seller or its Subsidiaries thereunder or be contrary to Applicable Law. If any such consent or approval
is not obtained, Seller will use its reasonable best efforts (which shall not require Seller to pay any money or other consideration to any Person or to initiate any claim or proceeding against any Person) to secure an arrangement reasonably
satisfactory to Purchaser ensuring that Purchaser will receive the benefits under the agreement for which such consent is being sought following the Closing; provided, however, that Seller shall have no obligation to obtain such
consent or approval or to provide such an alternative arrangement other than the undertaking to use reasonable best efforts to obtain or provide the same as set forth in this Section 7.7 and, Purchaser shall remain obligated to close the
transactions contemplated, subject to the other provisions hereof, and shall have no remedy for failure of Seller to obtain any such consent or approval or to provide any such alternative arrangement. 

Section 7.8 Transition Coordinators; Cooperation with Transition. Subject to Applicable Law, from the date hereof until the
earlier of the Closing Date and the termination of this Agreement, Seller will cooperate with Purchaser to provide current information regarding material activities of the Banking Centers, and Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate with and assist
each other in planning and implementing necessary and appropriate policies and procedures in connection with the transition of the ownership of the Banking Centers from Seller to Purchaser. In connection therewith, Seller and Purchaser shall each as
promptly as practicable after the execution of this Agreement designate certain of their respective employees as “transition coordinators.” 
 Section 7.9 Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation. (a) During the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Non-Competition Period”), neither Seller nor any of its
Subsidiaries (collectively, for purposes of this Section 7.9(a), the “Restricted Entities”) shall establish new banking branches in the Designated Footprint (it being understood that expansion at any
existing banking branch in the Designated Footprint shall not be limited); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not restrict any of the Restricted Entities from (i) making any acquisitions of or investments in any then
existing banking branch in the Designated Footprint or (ii) acquiring branches under the Purchase and Assumption Agreement dated as of July 30, 2011, as amended from time to time, with HSBC Bank USA, National Association and Affiliates
thereof.

engaged in the preparation for or implementation of any Conversion or the transfer of any of the Purchased Assets or Assumed Liabilities, or who are or will be otherwise involved in providing services under the Transition Services Agreement. For

at the Retained Employees or hiring any Retained Employee as a result of such general purpose advertisement or (ii) hiring any Retained Employee who was terminated by Seller after the Closing Date; and 

(2) Seller shall not, directly or indirectly, solicit for employment or hire any Transferred Banking Center Employee;
provided that this Section 7.9(c)(2) shall not prohibit Seller from (i) engaging in solicitation by means of a general purpose advertisement not specifically targeted at the Transferred Banking Center Employees or hiring any
Transferred Banking Center Employee as a result of such general purpose advertisement or (ii) hiring any Transferred Banking Center Employee who was terminated by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates after the Closing Date. 

(d) During the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing Date, Seller and its Affiliates
shall not, directly or indirectly (i) solicit or engage in other efforts directed to or targeted at any Banking Center Customer that is a retail customer or “business banking” customer with respect to providing Banking Related
Services to such retail customer or business banking customer; or (ii) advertise or market Banking Related Services through advertisements or marketing efforts primarily directed to or primarily targeting retail or business banking Banking
Center Customers; provided that nothing in this Section 7.9(d) shall be construed as limiting the ability of Seller to (x) respond to unsolicited requests by retail or business banking Banking Center Customers;
(y) advertise or solicit directly to the public generally; or (z) service retail or business banking Banking Center Customers who, as of the date hereof, are also customers of Seller or its Affiliates. For the avoidance of doubt this
Section 7.9(d) shall not restrict Seller and its Affiliates with respect to Excluded Business Activities. As used in this Section 7.9(d), “business banking” customer shall be determined by reference to Section 2.1(c).

 (e) Each of Purchaser and Seller understands and acknowledges that (i) it would be difficult to calculate damages to
Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, from any breach of the obligations of Purchaser or Seller, as applicable, under this Section 7.9, (ii) injury to Purchaser or Seller, as applicable, from any such breach would be irreparable and
impossible to measure and (iii) the remedy at law for any breach or threatened breach of this Section 7.9 would therefore be an inadequate remedy and, accordingly, Purchaser and Seller shall, in addition to all other available
remedies (including, without limitation, seeking such damages as either can show it has sustained by reason of such breach and/or the exercise of all other rights either has under this Agreement), be entitled to seek injunctive relief, specific
performance and other equitable remedies without the necessity of showing actual damages or posting bond. 

  
 42 

 (f) Purchaser and Seller understand and acknowledge that the restrictive covenants and
other agreements contained in this Section 7.9 are an essential part of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. It is the intention of the parties that, if any of the restrictions or covenants contained
herein are held to cover a geographic area or to be for a length of time that is not permitted by Applicable Law, or is in any way construed to be too broad or to any extent invalid, such provision shall not be construed to be null, void and of no
effect, but to the extent that such provision would then be valid or enforceable under Applicable Law, such provision shall be construed and interpreted or reformed to provide for a restriction or covenant having the maximum enforceable geographic
area, time period and other provisions as shall be valid and enforceable under Applicable Law. 
 (g) For the avoidance of
doubt, none of the restrictions imposed by applicable subsections of this Section 7.9 shall apply to any Person that is an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement if such Person ceases to be an Affiliate of such party. 

(h) Purchaser shall take any commercially reasonable actions to cooperate and facilitate Seller’s ability to retain and/or continue
to service Banking Center Customers with regard to the Credit Card Accounts and Receivables. 
 Section 7.10
Arrangements with Respect to Employee Pension Plans, IRAs and Keogh Plans. On or before the Closing Date, Seller shall cause notice (such notice to be approved in advance by Purchaser) to be sent to each depositor of an Assumed Deposit held
by Seller or any of its Subsidiaries in an IRA and each “employer” who established an Assumed Deposit pursuant to a Keogh plan and each depositor that is an Employee Pension Plan, regarding the resignation of Seller as IRA custodian or
Keogh plan or Employee Pension Plan trustee, as applicable. Such resignation shall be effective as of the date that is thirty (30) days following the date of the notice or, if later, the Closing Date. If a depositor of an Assumed Deposit held
by Seller in an IRA or an employer who established an Assumed Deposit pursuant to a Keogh plan, Employee Pension Plan or other retirement plan fails to appoint another trustee or custodian for such account within this period, such depositor or
employer will be deemed to have appointed Purchaser as successor trustee or custodian for the deposit account. Upon its appointment as successor trustee or custodian for such accounts, as applicable, Purchaser shall perform the services and carry
out the duties and obligations required of it under the applicable plans, the Code and Applicable Law. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, as of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall be unable to retain deposit liabilities in respect of an Employee
Pension Plan, IRA, Keogh Plan or other retirement plan, such deposit liabilities shall be considered “Excluded Deposits.” 
 Section 7.11 Updated Schedules. (a) On the fifth (5th) day prior to the Closing Date anticipated by the parties, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser updated versions of the following
schedules so that they are as of a date no earlier than last day of the month preceding the Closing Date (such date, the “Update Date”): Schedule 1.1(a) (Assumed Deposits), Schedule 1.1(c)(i) (Banking Center
Employees), Schedule 1.1(h) (Purchased Overdrafts), Schedule 2.1(a)(1) (Purchased Real Property), Schedule 2.1(a)(2) (Real Property Leases), Schedule 2.1(a)(4) (Personal Property Leases),

of Credit), and Schedule 2.1(a)(10) (Assumed Contracts). Seller and Purchaser agree that the updated versions of the foregoing Schedules shall be prepared using the same methodology and criteria used in preparing the Schedules attached
to this Agreement. 

  
 43 

 (b) In connection with delivery of the Final Closing Statement Seller shall deliver to
Purchaser updated versions of the following schedules, so that they are as of the Closing Date (such schedules, collectively, the “Final Schedules”): Schedule 1.1(a) (Assumed Deposits), Schedule 1.1(c)(i) (Banking
Center Employees), Schedule 1.1(h) (Purchased Overdrafts), Schedule 2.1(a)(1) (Purchased Real Property), Schedule 2.1(a)(2) (Real Property Leases), Schedule 2.1(a)(4) (Personal Property Leases),
Schedule 2.1(a)(5)(i) (Purchased ATMs), Schedule 2.1(a)(5)(ii) (ATM Real Property Leases), Schedule 2.1(a)(6) (Purchased Loans), Schedule 2.1(a)(8) (CRA Assets), Schedule 2.1(a)(9) (Assumed Letters
of Credit), and Schedule 2.1(a)(10) (Assumed Contracts). Seller and Purchaser agree that the updated versions of the foregoing Schedules shall be prepared using the same methodology and criteria used in preparing the Schedules attached
to this Agreement. 
 ARTICLE VIII

Prior to the Closing. (a) From the date hereof until the earlier of the Closing Date and the termination of this Agreement, Seller shall, consistent with the other provisions of this Agreement: (i) use reasonable best efforts to, and

past practices, preserve in all material respects, the mix, type and aggregate amount of the Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities, including the Assumed Deposits, provided that the agreement by Seller to use its ordinary course efforts shall not
be construed as any promise, representation or guarantee by Seller that such mix, type and amount will in fact be maintained and may in fact be materially different as of the Closing Date, and the occurrence of such event shall not, in and of
itself, be considered a breach of Seller’s obligations under this Section 8.1(a). 
 (b) From the date hereof
until the earlier of the Closing Date or the termination of this Agreement, except as (i) otherwise expressly contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) consented to in writing in advance by Purchaser (which consent shall not be unreasonably

 44 

 
the position of vice president or any more senior position, or (iv) enter into any Employee Plan or any collective bargaining agreement with respect to the Transferred Banking Center

or practice that is or may become applicable to the employees of Seller generally; provided, further, that Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser of any such adoption, modification, amendment or termination that affects any Banking

Property Lease; or place or permit to be placed, any Lien (other than a Permitted Lien) upon any of the Purchased Assets;

compromise providing solely for the payment of money damages that is included as a liability on the Closing Statement or Final Closing Statement); 

  
 45 

 (11) other than in the ordinary course of business consistent with past
practice or as determined to be necessary or advisable by Seller in the reasonable bona fide exercise of its discretion based on changes in market conditions applicable to the Banking Centers, materially alter its interest rate, credit policies or
fee pricing policies or practices with respect to the Assumed Deposits and the Purchased Loans provided, however, that Seller shall be permitted to take such actions with respect to the Assumed Deposits to the extent reasonably deemed
necessary to preserve the mix, type and aggregate amount of the Assumed Deposits; or 
 (12) agree to take any
of the actions listed in the foregoing clauses (1) through (11). 
 Section 8.2 Real Property Leases and ATM
Leases. (a) Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts (which shall not require Seller to pay any money or other consideration to any Person or to initiate any claim or proceeding against any Person) to cause every landlord of a Real
Property Lease or ATM Real Property Lease, the consent of which is required under the terms of the applicable Real Property Lease or ATM Real Property Lease to the assignment of such Real Property Lease or ATM Real Property Lease to Purchaser, to
execute in favor of Purchaser a Landlord Consent. 
 (b) If, despite Seller’s reasonable best efforts, a Landlord Consent
to assignment of a Real Property Lease or ATM Real Property Lease cannot be obtained, or cannot be obtained without the payment of an assignment fee or similar lump sum or rent increase, Seller shall, if permitted without the consent of the landlord
under the Real Property Lease or ATM Real Property Lease, sublease the Banking Center Premises or ATM location to Purchaser pursuant to a sublease agreement which shall be, to the extent permitted, for the remainder of the existing term of the Real
Property Lease or ATM Real Property Lease, as applicable, and which shall provide for Purchaser to perform all of the obligations of Seller under such Real Property Lease or ATM Real Property Lease and which otherwise shall contain mutually
agreeable terms (a “Sublease Agreement”). 
 (c) Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to cooperate
with Seller’s attempts to obtain each Landlord Consent or its approval of a Sublease Agreement, but shall not be obligated to pay any consideration or grant any concession in connection therewith. 

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if Seller is unable to obtain for Purchaser the right to occupy
a Banking Center Premises, whether pursuant to a Landlord Consent or a Sublease Agreement or otherwise, Purchaser shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement and Purchaser shall remain obligated to perform all of its obligations hereunder,
including, without limitation, the assumption of the Assumed Deposits without any reduction or adjustment to the consideration to be paid by Purchaser as provided in this Agreement. 

Section 8.3 UCC-1 Assignment and Other Documents. (a) Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to deliver to
Purchaser at the Closing all signed UCC-1 financing statements and UCC-3 assignments of financing statements, endorsed notes, participations, assignments of mortgages in recordable form and all other documentation necessary to effect the assignment
of the Purchased Loans (including all related collateral) and the Assumed Letters of Credit to Purchaser. The out-of-pocket costs and expenses of preparing and filing any such documentation shall be split equally between Seller and Purchaser.

  
 46 

 (b) In accordance with Article 9 of the UCC, from the date hereof until the Closing
Date, Seller shall make all filings of continuation statements necessary to maintain perfection of security interests related to the Purchased Loans and Assumed Letters of Credit. 

Section 8.4 Letters of Credit. In the event that any Assumed Letter of Credit cannot be assigned to Purchaser, on the
applicable Closing Date, Purchaser and Seller shall enter into a participation agreement in customary form reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser and Seller pursuant to which Purchaser shall acquire and assume all of Seller’s rights and
obligations under such Assumed Letters of Credit and become entitled to all reimbursements thereunder. 
 Section 8.5
Form of Transfer. Seller and Purchaser may by mutual written agreement at any time change the method of transferring the Banking Centers from Seller to Purchaser in order to achieve, in a more efficient manner, the business, financial
accounting, regulatory and tax objectives of Seller and Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, no such change shall alter or change the amount of consideration to be paid by
Purchaser as provided in this Agreement. 
 Section 8.6 Conversion Plan, Data Processing and Related Matters(a) The
parties hereto agree to cooperate to employ their reasonable best efforts to plan, execute and complete the Conversion in an orderly and efficient manner pursuant to the Conversion Plan. As promptly as practicable after the date hereof, Purchaser
and Seller shall each appoint qualified staff members to act as project managers for the Conversion (each, a “Conversion Project Manager”). Such Conversion Project Managers shall act as the principal contacts between the parties on
matters relating to the Conversion, and shall coordinate the assignment of personnel as required and generally facilitate the planning, execution and completion of the Conversion pursuant to the Conversion Plan. In addition to any conversion of the
data and systems files as part of the Conversion pursuant to the Conversion Plan, the parties shall reasonably cooperate in performing such tasks as may be outlined in the Conversion Plan (as defined below), including the collection and input of
relevant data, development of new operating procedures and design of forms, in each case, as mutually agreed by the parties. 

(b) Purchaser and Seller shall each bear all out-of-pocket costs and expenses associated with their respective area of responsibility as
defined in the Conversion Plan, including costs and expenses (including the costs and expenses incurred by Seller or its Affiliates) incurred in converting, moving, storing, archiving, adapting or otherwise transferring or facilitating the transfer
of any data, information, securities, records, files and systems from the systems and facilities of Seller and its Affiliates to the systems and facilities of Purchaser and its Affiliates (including costs with respect to computer programs, data
processing, deconversion, data extraction, third-party charges and filing fees) provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.6 or otherwise in this Agreement, Purchaser shall not be liable hereunder
for any termination fees, penalties or other break costs incurred by Seller or any of its Subsidiaries as a result of the Conversion. Purchaser and Seller each agrees to promptly reimburse the other in accordance with the Conversion Plan.

  
 47 

 (c) In connection with the conversion activities described in subsections (a) and
(b) immediately above, and subject to Applicable Law and the Transition Services Agreement, it is further agreed that: 
 (1) Purchaser will review, subject to Section 7.1, current operations of the Banking Centers and Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate and use their reasonable best efforts to develop a
mutually agreeable written plan within forty-five (45) days of the date hereof (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Conversion Plan”), which Conversion Plan shall (i) set forth the plan, procedures, scheduling
methodology, resources and expenditures required to fully effect the Conversion by the end of the weekend immediately after the Closing Date (or such other date as may be agreed by the parties), (ii) include interim target dates for the
completion of integral items to the Conversion; and (iii) provide that conversion items integral to the operation of the Banking Centers, as identified by Purchaser, shall have the earliest target completion dates in the Conversion Plan; and

 (2) as of the Closing Date, Seller will provide Purchaser with existing customer, account and transaction
data feeds related to the Banking Centers in order to allow Purchaser to comply with applicable legal and contractual anti-money laundering and privacy requirements on and after the Closing Date. 

(d) The parties agree to cooperate to schedule arrangements for change in displays and advertisements at the Banking
Centers such that on the next Business Day following a Closing Date, no Signage shall be displayed at the Banking Centers, either internally or externally. To the extent that any Signage shall remain at a Banking Center, Purchaser shall use its
reasonable best efforts to remove such Signage prior to the next Business Day following the Closing Date and to retain such Signage for later collection by Seller. 
 (e) The parties agree to address certain transitional matters in the Transition Services Agreement to be prepared jointly by them reasonably and in good faith. 

Section 8.7 Seller Intellectual Property. (a) Except as specifically provided in this Section 8.7, Purchaser
acknowledges and agrees that none of Purchaser or its Affiliates is purchasing, acquiring, receiving a license to or otherwise obtaining any right, title or interest in, to or under any Intellectual Property owned or licensed by Seller or any of its
Affiliates, including the Seller Names. 
 (b) Except as provided in this Section 8.7, as of and following the
Closing, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, cease and discontinue promptly after the Closing any and all uses of any and all Intellectual Property owned or licensed by Seller or any of its Affiliates, including Seller Names. Except
as provided in this Section 8.7, Purchaser agrees that, as of and following the Closing, none of Purchaser not any of its Affiliates shall have any right, title or interest in, or any authority or license to use or allow others to use in
any manner whatsoever, any Intellectual Property owned or licensed by Seller or its Affiliates, and any such right, title, interest, authority, license or sublicense or other arrangement relating thereto (whether written or oral) existing prior to
the Closing, shall automatically terminate simultaneously with and effective as of the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing and only to the extent that use of 

  
 48 

 
labeling, stationery, business forms, supplies, ATM cards, debit cards, gift cards, checks, deposit slips and envelopes (but excluding any advertising, marketing or other promotional materials)
existing on the Banking Center Premises or in the possession of a Banking Center Customer, in each case, that bear a Seller Name as of the Closing (the “Business Material”) cannot be commercially reasonably avoided after the Closing
by Purchaser and its Affiliates, Purchaser and such Affiliates shall have, subject to the execution by Purchaser and such Affiliates of the License Agreement, a limited, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, royalty-free, non-exclusive right to use
and deplete the Business Materials for a thirty- (30) day period following the Closing Date (such right, the “Seller Name License” and such period, the “Transitional Period”); provided, however,
that (i) none of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates shall take any action that could reasonably be expected to impair the value of or goodwill associated with the Seller Names, (ii) Purchaser and its Affiliates shall use the Business
Materials and make any use of the Seller Names pursuant to this Section 8.7 in substantially the same forms, and for substantially the same purposes, as Seller is using such Seller Names in connection with the operation and conduct of
the Banking Centers immediately prior to the Closing, but not including any advertising, marketing or other promotional activities and (iii) Purchaser and its Affiliates shall use their reasonable best efforts to minimize their respective use
of the Seller Names and shall cease using the Seller Names on such Business Materials as set forth in the License Agreement and in any event within the Transitional Period. For clarity, the foregoing activities during the Transitional Period will be
for wind-down purposes only, and none of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates shall actively use the Seller Names in any advertising, marketing or other promotional activities during the Transitional Period. 

(c) Purchaser, for itself and its Affiliates, acknowledges and agrees that, (i) as between the parties hereto, Seller and its
Affiliates own or have the exclusive right to use any and all of the Seller Names and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 8.7, none of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates shall, as of the Closing, have any rights in or
to the Seller Names, (ii) none of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates shall contest the ownership or validity of any rights of Seller or any of its Affiliates in or to the Seller Names, and (iii) none of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates
shall adopt, use, register or attempt to register any of the Seller Names or instruct others to do so. Purchaser, for itself and its Affiliates, agrees and shall ensure that any use of the Seller Names as permitted in this Section 8.7
shall be only with respect to goods and services of a level of quality equal to or greater than the quality of goods and services with respect to which Seller and its Affiliates used such Seller Names prior to the Closing. Purchaser, for itself and
its Affiliates, agrees that, after the Closing, none of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, will expressly, or willingly by implication, do business as or represent themselves as Seller or any Affiliate of Seller and the personnel of Purchaser or
any of its Affiliates shall not, and shall have no authority to, as of the Closing, hold themselves out as officers, employees or agents of Seller or any of its Affiliates. 
 (d) Purchaser, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, agrees that Purchaser and its Affiliates shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates from and against all Damages that arise out of,
relate to or result from use of the Seller Names by Purchaser during the Transitional Period. 

  
 49 

 Section 8.8 Wrong Pocket Assets. Unless otherwise specifically provided in the
Transition Services Agreement, if at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date, Seller, on the one hand, or Purchaser, on the other, shall receive or otherwise possess any asset (including cash) that should belong to another Person
pursuant to this Agreement, Seller or Purchaser agrees to promptly transfer, or cause to be transferred, such asset to the Person so entitled thereto. 
 Section 8.9 Title Objections. Within fifteen (15) days of the date of this Agreement, Seller shall provide Purchaser with copies of all deeds, title policies, title commitments, surveys,
tax searches or other title documentation in its possession for all Purchased Real Property. Purchaser shall be entitled, at its own expense, to update title and survey with respect to any or all parcels of Purchased Real Property. No later than
thirty (30) days after the date of this Agreement, Purchaser may deliver to Seller in writing Purchaser’s objections to title to the Purchased Real Property (with each objection stated with reasonable specificity) (such delivery, the
“Title Objections Report”) if Purchaser in good faith believes that the objectionable matters would materially detract from the value of the Purchased Real Property or interfere with the continued operations at the Purchased Real
Property in the manner in which operations are currently being conducted at the Purchased Real Property (any such matter, a “Title Objection”). Seller shall have fifteen (15) days after its receipt of the Title Objections
Report to determine, in its sole discretion, if Seller is willing to remove or cure the Title Objection(s) or bond over the Title Objections. If Seller is unwilling to remove or cure or bond over such Title Objections, then Purchaser, at its sole
discretion, shall have the right (exercisable upon irrevocable written notice to Seller delivered within fifteen (15) days after expiration of the forgoing 15-day period, to exclude the Banking Center situated on such Purchased Real Property
from the Purchased Assets (and to exclude such Purchased Real Property from the Purchased Assets). Seller shall not list any such Purchased Real Property so excluded by Purchaser on Schedule 2.1(a)(1), and the excluded Banking Center shall be
excluded from the Designated Footprint. 
 Section 8.10 Environmental Objections. Within forth-five (45) days
of the date of this Agreement, Purchaser shall give Seller written notice of environmental matters and conditions to which Purchaser objects based upon the results of its Phase I ESAs, the results of its other environmental due diligence, and
Seller’s Disclosure Schedules (the “Environmental Objections”). Upon Seller’s receipt of Purchaser’s notice of Environmental Objections, the parties shall, in good faith, use reasonable efforts to negotiate mutually
satisfactory resolution of the Environmental Objections prior to the Closing Date. The parties agree that matters or conditions shall only qualify as Environmental Objections if Purchaser believes the matters or conditions constitute actual or
potential violations of, or liabilities under, Environmental Laws. If, despite such good faith negotiations, all of the Environmental Objections are not resolved within ten (10) days prior to the Closing Date, then Purchaser, at its sole
discretion, shall have the right to exclude the Banking Center Premises to which the unresolved Environmental Objections pertain (and, if applicable, any corresponding Real Estate Lease) from the Purchased Assets (and to exclude such Real Estate
leases from the Assumed Liabilities). Seller shall not list any such Banking Center Premises or Real Estate Leases so excluded by Purchaser on Schedule 2.1(a)(1) or Schedule 2.1(a)(2), as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt,
Purchaser shall have the right to exclude from the Purchased Assets any Banking Center Premises (and corresponding Real Estate Leases) for which Purchaser is unable to conduct full and complete Phase I ESAs which meet the requirements in 40 CFR Part
312 because Seller has not provided reasonable access pursuant to Section 7.1(a). Seller shall not list any such Banking Center Premises (or Real Estate Leases) so excluded by Purchaser on Schedule 2.1(a)(1) or Schedule 2.1(a)(2),
as applicable, and the excluded Banking Center shall be excluded from the Designated Footprint.

 ARTICLE IX 
 EMPLOYMENT AND BENEFIT MATTERS 

Section 9.1 Transferred Banking Center Employees. (a) Offers of Employment. Subject to Applicable Law, at least
thirty (30) days (unless an earlier date is required by Applicable Law) prior to the Closing Date and effective as of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall make, and Purchaser and Seller shall use reasonable best efforts to cause to be accepted, a
Comparable Job Offer to all Banking Center Employees. Purchaser’s employment of the Transferred Banking Center Employees shall be deemed to commence at 11:59 p.m. on the Closing Date, without regard to whether the Transferred Banking Center
Employee is actively at work on the Closing Date in the case of an employee who on the Closing Date is absent from work due to a vacation, jury duty, funeral leave or personal day. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that a Banking Center
Employee who has accepted Purchaser’s offer is not available to perform services on the Closing Date because on the Closing Date such employee is on sick leave, short-term disability, workers compensation leave, military leave, leave of absence
under the Family Medical Leave Act or other leave of absence approved by Seller or one of its Affiliates (other than a vacation, jury duty, funeral leave or personal day), he or she shall remain an employee of Seller or one of its Affiliates (except
as otherwise required by Applicable Law); provided that Purchaser make, and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause to be accepted, a Comparable Job Offer to such Banking Center Employee if such Banking Center Employee returns to work no
later than the date that is the earlier of the scheduled return date (including any approved extensions thereto) and six (6) months from the date of commencement of such leave, unless such Employee is entitled to reemployment under the
Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Act, in which case Purchaser shall not be obligated hire such Employee unless the return date is no later than twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, and, for purposes of this Agreement,
such Employee shall become a Transferred Banking Center Employee as of the date active employment with Purchaser commences and, to the extent applicable, references in this Section 9.1 to the “Closing Date” shall relate to the
date on which active employment commences. Those Banking Center Employees who do not accept a Comparable Job Offer from Purchaser shall not be considered Transferred Banking Center Employees for any purpose of this Agreement. Each of the Transferred
Banking Center Employees shall be provided by the Purchaser with an aggregate annual amount of paid time-off under the plans of the Purchaser equal to such Transferred Banking Center Employee’s current aggregate annual amount of paid time-off,
which, for clarity, takes into account and grandfathers all service with Seller and its Affiliates (including vacation time, personal time and sick time); provided that the Purchaser may allocate such aggregate annual amount of paid time-off
in a manner consistent with the policies of the Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.1(a), and subject to the provisions of Section 9.1(d), Transferred Banking Center Employees who accept an
offer of employment (including any Comparable Job Offer) with Purchaser or an Affiliate of Purchaser will be considered at-will employees and may be terminated by Purchaser for any reason or for no reason at any time. 

  
 51 

 (b) Termination of Employment with Seller. As of the Closing Date, the Transferred
Banking Center Employees shall cease active participation in each Employee Plan and shall have a “separation from service” as that term is defined by Section 409A of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder. Seller and its
Affiliates shall retain all assets and Liabilities for the Banking Center Employees under the Employee Plans. Seller and its Affiliates shall be liable for all eligible claims for benefits under the Employee Plans. For purposes of this Agreement,
the following claims shall be deemed to be incurred as follows: (i) life, accidental death and dismemberment, business travel accident, disability and workers compensation insurance benefits, upon the event giving rise to such benefits; and
(ii) health, vision, dental and/or prescription drug benefits, on the date such services, materials or supplies were provided. 
 (c) Benefits Following the Closing Date. Effective as of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall provide the Transferred Banking Center Employees with the same employee benefit plans and programs as
those that are provided to similarly situated employees of Purchaser (both by job classification or status and by geographic location). For purposes of determining (i) eligibility to participate in and vesting under applicable employee benefit
plans of Purchaser or its Affiliates (other than under any employee stock ownership or option plan), (ii) the banking privileges and perquisites applicable to the Transferred Banking Center Employees, (iii) retirement eligibility under any
Purchaser plan providing for the grant of equity awards, (iv) for benefit accrual purposes for paid time-off (including vacation time, personal time and sick time) and, if applicable, severance benefits, (v) the level of pay credits under
a cash balance plan, in each case, as applicable, each Transferred Banking Center Employee shall be credited with the years of service he or she has been credited with under any comparable Employee Plans; provided that such service shall not
be recognized for purposes of (x) grandfathering and/or benefit accruals under any Purchaser defined benefit retirement plan, (y) retiree medical benefits (but it shall be recognized for access-only retiree medical, if applicable) or
(z) any employee stock ownership or option plan. Purchaser shall (i) deem satisfied any preexisting conditions and waiting periods under the welfare benefit plans of Purchaser that provide healthcare benefits in which the Transferred
Banking Center Employees are eligible to participate to the same extent that such conditions and waiting periods were satisfied under a comparable Employee Plan and (y) subject to Seller providing Purchaser with the applicable information with
respect to each Transferred Banking Center Employee in a form that Purchaser determines is administratively feasible to take into account under its plans, cause such plans to honor any expenses incurred by such Transferred Banking Center Employees
and their eligible dependents under comparable Employee Plans that are healthcare benefit plans during the portion of the calendar year in which they become Transferred Banking Center Employees for purposes of satisfying applicable deductible,
co-insurance, maximum out-of-pocket, and similar expenses, to the same extent that such expenses were recognized under the comparable Employee Plan. Purchaser shall not provide any payment or incentive to any Transferred Banking Center Employee to
induce such employee to elect continued participation in any healthcare benefit plan of Seller 
 (d) Severance.
(i) Termination of Transferred Banking Center Employees Following the Closing Date. Purchaser shall pay, or cause to be paid, severance and provide benefits in accordance with the severance schedule set forth on
Schedule 9.1(d)(i)(A), to each 

  
 52 

 
Transferred Banking Center Employee whose employment is terminated by Purchaser or any Affiliate of Purchaser without “cause” (within the meaning set forth on
Schedule 9.1(d)(i)(B)) within twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, subject to the execution, delivery and non-revocation of a release of claims in favor of Purchaser, Seller and the respective Affiliates of Purchaser and
Seller. 
 (ii) Termination of Banking Center Employees who do not become Transferred Banking Center Employees. With
respect to Banking Center Employees who do not become Transferred Banking Center Employees for any reason (other than due to having rejected a Comparable Job Offer), (A) Purchaser shall be responsible for reimbursing Seller or its Affiliates,
as applicable, for any severance benefits but not greater than those described on Schedule 9.1(d)(i)(A) to the extent a Banking Center Employee rejects an offer of employment from Purchaser that was not a Comparable Job Offer and
(B) Seller and its Affiliates shall retain and shall satisfy all severance benefits payable to any other Banking Center Employees. Except as may otherwise be required by Applicable Law, none of Seller, Purchaser or any of its Affiliates shall
pay or provide severance benefits to any Banking Center Employee who receives a Comparable Job Offer from Purchaser and does not accept such offer. Nothing in this Section 9.1(d)(ii) is intended to conflict with the provisions of
Section 9.1(g), but in the event of an inconsistency, Section 9.1(d)(ii) shall govern. Subject to Applicable Law, Seller, its Affiliates and Purchaser shall cooperate to take commercially reasonable steps to reduce, to the
extent possible, the likelihood that severance benefits will be required to be paid to any Banking Center Employees who do not become Transferred Banking Center Employees; provided, however, that, in no event, shall Purchaser or Seller
be required to find alternative employment for such employees at Purchaser or Seller or one of their respective Affiliates. 

(e) Retirement Plans. Purchaser shall take commercially reasonable action to permit Purchaser’s tax-qualified employee
savings plan(s) maintained in the United States and in which Transferred Banking Center Employees participate to accept rollover contributions of “eligible rollover distributions” (within the meaning of Section 402(c)(4) of the Code)
for the benefit of participating Transferred Banking Center Employees, including direct rollovers of outstanding plan loans of Transferred Banking Center Employees, provided that such loans are not in default. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the parties will cooperate to facilitate the above-described rollover of plan loans by causing their respective savings plan trustees to promptly accomplish the transfer of the relevant plan loan notes and related loan agreements, and by
taking commercially reasonable action to forestall loan default. 
 (f) Annual Incentives. (i) Seller shall be
liable for the payment of all formulaic incentive bonuses and annual discretionary bonuses to the Transferred Banking Center Employees with respect to the calendar year commencing on January 1, 2011 and ending on December 31, 2011. In
addition, Seller shall be liable for the payment of any formulaic incentive bonuses, including monthly, quarterly and semi-annual incentive bonuses, to the Transferred Banking Center Employees with respect to the period commencing on January 1,
2012 and ending on the Closing Date. Such payments shall be made consistent with past practice of Seller, notwithstanding that Transferred Banking Center Employees may not be employed by Seller or any of its Affiliates at the time of payment.

  
 53 

 (ii) The Purchaser shall provide Transferred Banking Center Employees an annual
discretionary bonus opportunity prorated for calendar year 2012, based upon the number of days elapsed between the Closing Date and December 31, 2012 (with the amount, if any, determined consistent with Purchaser’s internal methodology for
awarding annual discretionary bonuses). The Seller shall be responsible for and shall pay to the Transferred Banking Center Employees a prorated portion of the annual discretionary bonuses accrued for the Transferred Banking Center Employees prior
to the Closing Date, calculated using accruals for performance year 2011, based upon the number of days elapsed between January 1, 2012 and the Closing Date. For purposes of clarity, Seller and its Affiliates shall retain all liabilities for,
and shall be responsible for the payment of, any formulaic incentive bonus amounts payable to the Transferred Banking Center Employees for performance periods occurring prior to the Closing Date under any formulaic incentive plans maintained by
Seller or its Affiliates (for example, under any monthly, quarterly or commissions-based plans), and such formulaic incentive plans shall not be taken into consideration when determining the obligations of the Purchaser and Seller under this
Section 9.1(f)(ii). 
 (g) WARN Act. The parties hereto agree to cooperate in good faith, including by
sharing information about terminations of employment in a timely manner, to determine whether any notification may be required under the WARN Act as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Purchaser shall be responsible for
providing any notice (or pay in lieu of notice) required pursuant to the WARN Act with respect to a layoff or plant closing involving Transferred Banking Center Employees that occurs on or after the Closing Date. Subject to
Section 9.1(d)(ii), Seller and its Affiliates shall be responsible for providing any such notice (or pay in lieu of notice) with respect to a layoff or plant closing occurring prior to, on or after the Closing Date and involving Banking
Center Employees who do not become Transferred Banking Center Employees. 
 (h) Employee Communications. Any
communications by Purchaser with the Banking Center Employees prior to the Closing Date shall be subject to and in compliance with the terms of this Agreement. Written communications from Purchaser to Banking Center Employees shall be subject to
prior review, comment and approval by Seller and its Affiliates. Seller shall not make any promises or commitments to the Banking Center Employees with respect to employment by Purchaser, or the terms and conditions thereof. 

(i) Banking Privileges. Purchaser agrees to provide the Transferred Banking Center Employees with the same banking privileges, if
any, that Purchaser generally provides to similarly situated employees of Purchaser (both by job classification or status and by geographic location). 
 (j) No Third-Party Rights. No provision of this Article IX shall create any third-party beneficiary rights in any Person, nor is it intended to amend or alter any benefit plan of Purchaser,
Seller or any of their respective Affiliates, or limit the ability of the Purchaser or its Affiliates to amend their benefits plans in any respect at any time nor guarantee any Transferred Banking Center Employee the right to continued employment
for any period. 
 (k) Transition Services. Purchaser and Seller shall work together and reasonably cooperate to delay
the separation from Seller and the start date with Purchaser for any Transferred Banking Center Employees who are necessary to assist Seller in fulfilling their obligations under the Transition Services Agreement. 

 

  
 54 

 (l) Wage Reporting. Purchaser and Seller agree to utilize the standard procedure set
forth in Revenue Procedure 2004-53 with respect to wage reporting.

attributable to the portion of the Closing Date after the Closing, and (ii) Purchaser shall pay or cause to be paid, shall be liable for, and shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller and its Affiliates harmless from and against any and all Taxes

against any Excluded Taxes that are the responsibility of Seller under Section 10.1(a). Purchaser shall be entitled to any refunds or credits of or against any Taxes relating to the Purchased Assets, other than refunds or credits of or

 Section 10.3
Cooperation . Each party hereto shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, provide to the other party hereto such cooperation, documentation and information relating to the Purchased Assets as either of them reasonably may request in:
(i) filing any Tax Return, amended Tax Return or claim for refund, (ii) determining a liability for Taxes or an indemnity obligation under this Article X or a right to refund of Taxes, (iii) conducting any audit,

periods to which the Tax Returns or other documents relate or (y) eight (8) years following the 

  
 55 

 
due date (without extension) for such Tax Returns. Thereafter, the party holding such Tax Returns or other documents may dispose of them after offering the other party reasonable notice and
opportunity to take possession of such Tax Returns and other documents at such other party’s own expense. Each party shall make its employees reasonably available on a mutually convenient basis at its cost to provide explanation of any
documents or information so provided. 
 Section 10.4 Contest Provisions. Each of Purchaser and Seller shall
promptly notify the other in writing upon receipt of notice of any pending or threatened audits or assessments with respect to Taxes for which such other party (or such other party’s Affiliates) may be liable hereunder. Seller shall be entitled
to participate at their expense in the defense of and, at its option, take control of the complete defense of, any Tax audit or administrative or court proceeding relating to Taxes for which it may be liable, and to employ counsel and other advisors
of its choice at its expense. Neither party may agree to settle any claim for Taxes for which the other may be liable without the prior written consent of such other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 

Section 10.5 Transfer Taxes . (a) All Transfer Taxes that are payable or that arise as a result of the consummation of
the purchase and sale of the Purchased Assets contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by Seller. Any Tax Returns that must be filed in connection with Transfer Taxes shall be prepared and filed by the party primarily or customarily responsible
under Applicable Law for filing such Tax Returns, and such party will use its reasonable best efforts to provide such Tax Returns to the other party at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date such Tax Returns are due to be filed. Such
Tax Returns shall be prepared consistent with the Allocation Statement pursuant to Section 3.4(a). Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate in the timely completion and filing of all such Tax Returns. Seller shall promptly pay all Transfer
Taxes due with respect to Tax Returns to be filed by Seller under this Section 10.5 and Seller shall pay to Purchaser any Transfer Taxes due with respect to Tax Returns to be filed by Purchaser under this Section 10.5 at
least two (2) Business Days prior to the due date for the filing of such Tax Returns. Any Transfer Taxes resulting from any subsequent increase in consideration shall be borne in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.5
and any Tax Returns required to be filed in connection therewith shall be prepared and filed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.5. For the avoidance of doubt, any Transfer Taxes resulting from any transfer after the
Closing Date of any Purchased Asset or Assumed Liability, or any other property owned after the Closing Date by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates shall be borne by Purchaser and any Tax Returns relating thereto shall be prepared and filed by
Purchaser. Purchaser agrees to timely sign and deliver any certificates or forms as may be necessary or appropriate to establish an exemption from (or otherwise reduce), and file Tax Returns with respect to, such Transfer Taxes. 

(b) The parties shall attempt in good faith to agree, on or prior to the Closing Date, on the fair market value of the Banking Center
Premises and shall prepare and file any Tax Returns required to be filed by them with respect to Transfer Taxes on a basis consistent with any such agreed valuation. 
 (c) Any party shall have the right to seek a refund of any and all Transfer Taxes paid by it for which it is responsible pursuant to this Section 10.5 at its own expense (subject to the last
sentence of this Section 10.5(c)). If so requested, the other party shall 

  
 56 

 
cooperate in good faith with the party seeking such refund. Any refund of Transfer Taxes (and any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the parties in obtaining such refund, provided, in
the case of fees and disbursements paid to any accounting firm, such expenses were incurred after providing reasonable advance notice to and consulting in good faith with the other party) shall be shared between the parties in accordance with the
portion of such Tax paid by each such party. 
 Section 10.6 Coordination. Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, in the event there is a conflict between Article X and any provision contained in any other article of this Agreement, Article X shall control. 

Section 10.7 Tax Treatment of Payments. Purchaser, Seller and its Affiliates shall treat any and all payments under this

provisions of Section 10.1 are not subject to the limitations of Article XIII and shall survive the Closing until the expiration of the applicable statutes of limitation.

cured prior to the Outside Date; provided that Purchaser is not then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained in this Agreement, or (ii) by Seller, if Purchaser has breached any of its
covenants or agreements or any of its representations or warranties contained in this Agreement, which breach, individually or in the aggregate, would cause the conditions set forth in Section 11.2(a) or Section 11.2(b) to

SURVIVAL; INDEMNIFICATION 
 Section 13.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing for the period set forth in this
Section 13.1. All representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and all claims with respect thereto shall terminate eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date, except that (i) the representations and warranties
contained in Sections 5.1, 5.2, 5.7, 6.1, 6.2 and 6.7 shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations; it being understood that in the event notice of any
claim for indemnification under this Article XIII has been given (within the meaning of Section 13.4) within the applicable survival period, the representations and warranties that are the subject of such indemnification
claim shall survive with respect to such claim until such time as such claim is finally resolved. The agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement that by their terms contemplate performance after the Closing Date shall survive the Closing
in accordance with their terms. 
 Section 13.2 Indemnification by Seller. (a) Seller hereby agrees that from
and after the Closing it shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser and its respective Affiliates, and its directors, officers, employees (other than the Transferred Banking Center Employees), agents and their heirs, successors and
permitted assigns, each in their capacity as such (the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties” from, against and in respect of any damages, losses, charges, Liabilities, claims, demands, actions, suits, proceedings, payments, judgments,
settlements, assessments, deficiencies, interest, penalties, and costs and expenses (including removal costs, remediation costs, closure costs, fines, penalties and expenses of investigation and ongoing monitoring, reasonable attorneys’ fees,
and reasonable out of pocket disbursements) (collectively, “Losses”) imposed on, sustained, incurred or suffered by, or asserted against, any of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties, whether in respect of third-party claims, claims
between the parties hereto, or otherwise, directly or indirectly relating to, or arising out of: 
 (1) any
breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller under Article V for the period such representation or warranty survives, it being understood that for purposes of this Section 13.2 any qualifications in the text
of any such representation or warranty relating to materiality, Material Adverse Effect, or Knowledge shall be disregarded for purposes of determining whether such representation or warranty was breached or the amount of Losses; 

(2) any breach of any covenant or agreement of Seller contained in this Agreement; and 

(3) any of (i) the Excluded Liabilities, (ii) Liens that are not Permitted Liens, or (iii) the conduct of
the Retained Business after the Closing Date. 

  
 60 

 (b) Seller shall not be liable to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for (i) any Losses
in respect of Section 13.2(a)(1) for any individual claim (or group of directly related claims) less than twenty thousand dollars ($20,000) (each a “de minimis loss”) or (ii) any Losses in respect of
Section 13.2(a)(1) unless the Losses therefrom exceed an aggregate amount (including all Losses attributable to Seller) equal to two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000), and then only for Losses in excess of that amount and up to
an aggregate amount equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the Premium. 
 Section 13.3 Indemnification by
Purchaser. (a) Purchaser hereby agrees that from and after the Closing it shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller, any of its Affiliates, and each of their respective directors, officers, agents and their heirs, successors and
permitted assigns, each in their capacity as such (the “Seller Indemnified Parties” and collectively, with the Purchaser Indemnified Parties, the “Indemnified Parties”) from, against and in respect of any Losses
imposed on, sustained, incurred or suffered by, or asserted against, any of the Seller Indemnified Parties, whether in respect of third-party claims, claims between the parties hereto, or otherwise, directly or indirectly, relating to, arising out
of or resulting from: 
 (1) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Purchaser under
Article VI for the period such representation or warranty survives, it being understood that for purposes of this Section 13.3 any qualifications in the text of any such representation or warranty
relating to materiality, material adverse effect, or Knowledge shall be disregarded for purposes of determining whether such representation or warranty was breached;

(b) Purchaser shall not be liable to the Seller Indemnified Parties for (i) a de minimis loss in respect of
Section 13.3(a)(1) or (ii) any Losses with respect to the matters contained in Section 13.3(a)(1) unless the Losses therefrom exceed an aggregate amount (including all Losses attributable to Seller) equal to two hundred
fifty thousand dollars ($250,000), and then only for Losses in excess of that amount and up to an aggregate amount equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the Premium. 
 Section 13.4 Third-Party Claim Indemnification Procedures. (a) In the event that any written claim or demand for which an indemnifying party (an “Indemnifying Party”) may
have liability to any Indemnified Party hereunder, other than those relating to Taxes (which are the exclusive subject of Article X), is asserted against or sought to be collected from any Indemnified Party by a third party (a
“Third-Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly, but in no event more than ten (10) days following such Indemnified Party’s receipt of a Third-Party Claim, notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of such
Third-Party Claim, the amount or the estimated amount of damages sought thereunder to the extent then ascertainable (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such Third-Party Claim), any other remedy sought thereunder, any
relevant time constraints relating thereto and, to the extent 

  
 61 

 
practicable, any other material details pertaining thereto (a “Claim Notice”); provided, however, that the failure timely to give a Claim Notice shall affect the
rights of an Indemnified Party hereunder only to the extent that such failure has a material prejudicial effect on the defenses or other rights available to the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Third-Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall
have thirty (30) days (or such lesser number of days set forth in the Claim Notice as may be required by court proceeding in the event of a litigated matter) after receipt of the Claim Notice (the “Notice Period”) to notify the
Indemnified Party that it desires to assume the defense of the Indemnified Party against such Third-Party Claim. 
 (b) In the
event that the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Notice Period that it desires to defend the Indemnified Party against a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend the Indemnified Party by
appropriate proceedings and shall have the sole power to direct and control such defense at its expense. Once the Indemnifying Party has duly assumed the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to participate in any such defense and to employ separate counsel of its choosing. The Indemnified Party shall participate in any such defense at its expense unless the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party are both named parties
to the proceedings and the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded, based on the written advice of counsel, that representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing material
interests between them. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle, compromise or offer to settle or compromise any Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that no such prior
written consent of the Indemnified Party shall be required to any proposed settlement that involves only the payment of money by the Indemnifying Party, includes as an unconditional term thereof the granting by the person asserting such claim or
bringing such action of an unconditional release from liability to all Indemnified Parties with respect to such claim and does not include any admission of culpability. 
 (c) If the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend the Indemnified Party against a Third-Party Claim, whether by not giving the Indemnified Party timely notice of its desire to so defend or otherwise, the
Indemnified Party shall have the right but not the obligation to assume its own defense; it being understood that the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification for a Third-Party Claim shall not be adversely affected by
assuming the defense of such Third-Party Claim. The Indemnified Party shall not settle a Third-Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party and/or its respective insurer. 

(d) The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of a Third-Party
Claim, including by providing access to each other’s relevant business records and other documents, and employees. 
 (e)
The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall use reasonable best efforts to avoid production of confidential information (consistent with Applicable Law), and to cause all communications among employees, counsel and others representing any
party to a Third-Party Claim to be made so as to preserve any applicable attorney-client or work-product privileges. 

  
 62 

 Section 13.5 Consequential Damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, no Person shall be liable under this Article XIII for any consequential, punitive, special, incidental or indirect damages, including lost profits, except to the extent awarded by a court of competent
jurisdiction in connection with a Third-Party Claim. 
 Section 13.6 Adjustments to Losses. (a) In calculating
the amount of any Loss, the proceeds actually received by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates under any insurance policy or pursuant to any claim, recovery, settlement or payment by or against any other Person in each case relating to the
Third-Party Claim, net of any actual costs, expenses or premiums incurred in connection with securing or obtaining such proceeds, shall be deducted. Without limiting the generality or effect of any other provision hereof, each Indemnified Party and
Indemnifying Party shall duly execute upon request all instruments reasonably necessary to evidence and perfect the subrogation and subordination rights detailed herein, and otherwise cooperate in the prosecution of such claims. 

(b) In calculating the amount of any Loss, there shall be deducted an amount equal to any net Tax benefit actually realized (including
the utilization of a Tax loss or Tax credit carried forward) as a result of such Loss by the party claiming such Loss, and there shall be added an amount equal to any actual net Tax detriment resulting from such Loss. 

(c) Reimbursement. If an Indemnified Party recovers an amount from a third-party in respect of a Loss that is the subject of
indemnification hereunder after all or a portion of such Loss has been paid by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article XIII, the Indemnified Party shall promptly remit to the Indemnifying Party the excess (if any) of (i) the
amount paid by the Indemnifying Party in respect of such Loss, plus the amount received from the third party in respect thereof, less (ii) the full amount of Loss. 
 Section 13.7 Payments. The Indemnifying Party shall pay all amounts payable pursuant to this Article XIII, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, promptly following
receipt from an Indemnified Party of a bill, together with all accompanying reasonably detailed back-up documentation, for a Loss that is the subject of indemnification hereunder, unless the Indemnifying Party in good faith disputes the Loss, in
which event it shall so notify the Indemnified Party. In any event, the Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the amount of any Loss for which it is liable hereunder no later than
three (3) days following any final determination of such Loss and the Indemnifying Party’s liability therefor. A “final determination” shall exist when (i) the parties to the dispute have reached an agreement in writing,
(ii) a court of competent jurisdiction shall have entered a final and non-appealable order or judgment, or (iii) an arbitration or like panel shall have rendered a final non-appealable determination with respect to disputes the parties
