 SEALED AIR CORPORATION 
 DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN FOR KEY EMPLOYEES

  

	1.	Name: 

 This plan shall be
known as the “Sealed Air Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan for Key Employees” (the “Plan”). 
  

	2.	Purpose and Intent: 

Sealed Air Corporation (the “Corporation”) establishes the Plan for the purposes of providing certain employees with the
opportunity to defer payment of a portion of base salary and certain annual incentives. It is the intent of the Corporation that amounts deferred under the Plan shall not be taxable to the employee for income tax purposes until the time actually
received by the employee. The provisions of the Plan shall be construed and interpreted to effectuate that intent. 
  

	3.	Definitions: 

 For
purposes of the Plan, the following terms have the following meanings: 
 “Account” means the

“Annual Incentive Award” means, with respect to a Participant, any cash annual incentive award payable to
the Participant pursuant to the Sealed Air Corporation Annual Incentive Plan, or any other incentive compensation plan of a Participating Employer approved for purposes of this Plan by the Plan Administrator, provided such cash annual incentive
award is payable prior to the date of the Participant’s Termination of Employment. An Annual Incentive Award shall not include any portion of an annual incentive award payable in shares of stock of the Corporation, including without limitation
as a result of a stock leverage opportunity elected by a Participant under the Sealed Air Corporation Annual Incentive Plan. If a Participant first becomes eligible to participate in the Plan after the beginning of a Plan Year, the Annual Incentive
Award for such first year of eligibility shall be the pro-rated portion of the total Annual Incentive Award payable for that Plan Year that is attributable to the Participant’s service with the Participating Employers rendered after the date
the Participant makes a deferral election for that Plan Year to the extent required by Section 409A of the Code. 
 “Beneficiary” means any person or trust designated by a Participant in accordance with procedures adopted by the Plan Administrator to receive the Participant’s Account in the event
of the Participant’s death. If the Participant does not designate a Beneficiary, the Participant’s Beneficiary is his or her spouse, or if not then living, his or her estate.

“Employee” means an individual employed by a Participating Employer. 

“In-Service Account” means a Payment Sub-Account for a Participant established based on the
Participant’s payment election under Paragraph 6(a) below providing for scheduled, in-service payments, comprised of deferrals for a Plan Year to which the payment election relates as adjusted for deemed investments in accordance with Paragraph
5(e) below. 
 “O&C Committee” means the committee of individuals who are serving from time
to time as the Organization and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation. 

“Participant” means an Eligible Employee who has elected to defer compensation under the Plan as provided
in Paragraph 5(b) or has been credited with a discretionary Participating Employer contribution under Paragraph 5(c). 
 “Participating Employer” means the Corporation and any other entity affiliated with the Corporation and designated as a participating employer under this Plan from time to time by the

established by the Plan Administrator to facilitate the administration of distributions under the Plan, including without limitation Payment Sub-Accounts representing (i) an In-Service Account, (ii) a Retirement Account, and (ii) any
discretionary Participating Employer contributions under Paragraph 5(c) below.

Administrator” means the Corporation’s Retirement Committee, provided that with respect to an action regarding the participation in the Plan by an executive officer of the Corporation, other than primarily ministerial or administrative
actions, the Plan Administrator shall be the O&C Committee.

 “Plan Year” means the calendar year. 

“Retirement Account” means a Payment Sub-Account for a Participant established based on the

	4.	Administration: 

 The Plan
Administrator shall be responsible for administering the Plan. The Plan Administrator shall have all of the powers necessary to enable it to properly carry out its duties under the Plan. Not in limitation of the foregoing, the Plan Administrator
shall have the power to construe and interpret the Plan and to determine all questions that arise thereunder. The Plan Administrator shall have such other and further specified duties, powers, authority and discretion as are elsewhere in the Plan
either expressly or by necessary implication conferred upon it. The Plan Administrator may appoint any agents that it deems necessary for the effective performance of its duties, and may delegate to those agents those powers and duties that the Plan
Administrator deems expedient or appropriate that are not inconsistent with the intent of the Plan. All decisions of the CEO, the Plan Administrator and the O&C Committee upon all matters within the scope of his or its authority shall be made in
the CEO’s, Plan Administrator’s or O&C Committee’s sole discretion and shall be final and conclusive on all persons, except to the extent otherwise provided by law. 

 

	5.	Eligibility, Deferrals and Account Adjustments: 

 (a) Eligibility. For each Plan Year, (i) the O&C Committee shall designate which Employees who are executive officers of the Corporation shall be Eligible Employees for the Plan Year, and
(ii) the CEO shall designate which Employees other than the executive officers of the Corporation shall be Eligible Employees for the Plan Year; provided, however, that the determination of Eligible Employees shall be made
consistent with the requirement that the Plan be a “top hat” plan for purposes of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. An Employee designated as an Eligible Employee with respect to one Plan Year need not be
designated as an Eligible Employee for any subsequent Plan Year. 
 (b) Elections to Defer. Unless otherwise determined
by the Plan Administrator with respect to a Plan Year, a person who is an Eligible Employee for a Plan Year may elect to defer 

  
 3 

 
from one percent (1%) to fifty percent (50%), in one percent (1%) increments, of the Eligible Employee’s base salary for the Plan Year. In addition, unless otherwise determined by
the Plan Administrator with respect to a Plan Year, the Eligible Employee may elect to defer from one percent (1%) to one hundred percent (100%), in one percent (1%) increments, of the Eligible Employee’s Annual Incentive Award for
the Plan Year (after all required deductions and withholdings). Elections to defer base salary or Annual Incentive Awards for a Plan Year must be made before the first day of the Plan Year; provided, however, that (A) a newly
hired or promoted Eligible Employee who first becomes eligible to participate in the Plan after the start of a Plan Year may make a deferral election within thirty (30) days after first becoming eligible to participate in the Plan if and to the
extent so notified by the Plan Administrator in its discretion; and (B) if the Plan Administrator determines that Annual Incentive Awards qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 409A of the Code, the Plan
Administrator may in its discretion permit deferral elections to be made as late as June 30 of the Plan Year in accordance with and subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. All elections made under this Paragraph 5(b) shall
be made in writing on a form, or pursuant to other electronic or non-written procedures, as may be prescribed from time to time by the Plan Administrator and shall be irrevocable for the Plan Year. An election to defer made by an Eligible Employee
with respect to any base salary or Annual Incentive Award payable for a Plan Year shall not automatically apply with respect to any base salary or Annual Incentive Award payable for any subsequent Plan Year. Amounts deferred under the Plan shall not
be taken into account for purposes of determining contributions or allocations under the Thrift Plan. 
 (c) Other
Discretionary Contributions. The Participating Employers may from time to time, in their sole and exclusive discretion, elect to credit a Participant’s Account with additional amounts not otherwise contemplated by this Paragraph 5, which
such amounts may be subject to (i) such vesting or other terms and conditions as established by the Plan Administrator in its discretion and (ii) the provisions hereof related to Account adjustments and payments as may be modified by the
Plan Administrator at the time such amounts are first credited to the Plan. 
 (d) Establishment of Accounts. A
Participating Employer shall establish and maintain on its books an Account for each Participant employed by the Participating Employer. Each Account shall be designated by the name of the Participant for whom established. The amount of any base
salary or Annual Incentive Award deferred by a Participant pursuant to Paragraph 5(b) shall be credited to the Participant’s Account as of the date the base salary or Annual Incentive Award would have otherwise been paid to the Participant. The
amount of any other discretionary contribution pursuant to Paragraph 5(c) shall be credited to the Participant’s Account as of the date determined by the Participating Employers. 

(e) Account Adjustments for Deemed Investments. The O&C Committee shall establish from time to time an interest rate or deemed
investment index or vehicle pursuant to which Accounts shall be adjusted for deemed investment results. The O&C Committee may change such interest rate or deemed investment index or vehicle from time to time on a prospective basis. The
adjustments to Accounts as provided in this Paragraph 5(e) shall be made from time to time at such intervals as determined by the O&C Committee. The Plan Administrator shall communicate to Participant’s the method for adjustments under this
Paragraph 5(e) in effect from time to time. 

  
 4 

 (f) Statements of Account. Each Participant shall receive a statement of the
Participant’s Account balance on a quarterly or such other basis as determined by the Plan Administrator. 
  

	6.	Distribution Provisions: 

(a) Payment Elections. A Participant shall elect the form of payment that shall apply to the deferrals for a Plan Year coincident
with the deferral elections under Paragraph 5(b) above for such Plan Year. The Plan Administrator shall determine whether a single payment election shall be made for all such deferrals for the Plan Year or whether the election may be split among the
available payment options. Except as otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator at the time elections are made and subject to the provisions of the Plan, there shall be two payment options available to a Participant as detailed below, a
Retirement Account and an In-Service Account. Unless the Plan Administrator determines otherwise, each Participant shall be permitted only one Retirement Account and two In-Service Accounts. 

 

	 	(i)	Retirement Account. The balance of a Participant’s Retirement Account shall be payable to the Participant commencing on or as soon as administratively
practicable (but not more than 75 days) after the later of (A) a specified age or date selected by the Participant (subject to any latest age or date as specified by the Plan Administrator at the time of election) or (B) the
beginning of the seventh month following the Participant’s Termination of Employment. At the time the Participant first elects deferrals to be credited to the Retirement Account, the Participant shall also elect the form of payment of the
Retirement Account from the following options, which election shall become irrevocable and shall apply to all future deferrals of the Participant credited to the Retirement Account, except as otherwise expressly provided by the Plan:

  

	 	    	Lump Sum: The balance of the Retirement Account as of the applicable payment date as determined by the Plan Administrator shall be payable in a single cash
payment. 

  

	 	    	Installments: The balance of the Retirement Account shall be payable in annual installments over five (5), ten (10) or fifteen (15) years as selected
by the Participant, with the amount of each installment determined under Paragraph 6(d) below. 

  

	 	(ii)	 In-Service Account. The balance of a Participant’s In-Service Account shall be payable to the Participant commencing on or as soon as
administratively practicable (but not more than 75 days) after the earlier of (A) a specified date selected by the Participant or (B) if the Participant has a Termination of Employment before the selected date, the beginning of

  
 5 

	 	
the seventh month following the Participant’s Termination of Employment. In order for a Participant to be eligible to elect deferrals to be credited to an In-Service Account, the Plan
Administrator may, at the time of the election, require a minimum period of deferral. At the time the Participant first elects deferrals to be credited to an In-Service Account, the Participant shall also elect the form of payment of the In-Service
Account from the following options, which election shall become irrevocable and shall apply to all future deferrals of the Participant credited to that In-Service Account, except as otherwise expressly provided by the Plan: 

 

	 	    	Lump Sum: The balance of the In-Service Account as of the applicable payment date as determined by the Plan Administrator shall be payable in a single cash
payment. 

  

	 	    	Installments: The balance of the In-Service Account shall be payable in annual installments over five (5) years, with the amount of each installment
determined under Paragraph 6(d) below. 

  

	 	(iii)	Default Election. If a Participant makes a deferral election for a Plan Year but fails to elect a method of payment for such deferrals, the Participant shall be
deemed to have elected such deferrals to be credited to the Participant’s Retirement Account, and if the Participant has not previously elected deferrals to be credited to the Retirement Account, the Participant shall be deemed to have elected
the lump sum form of payment for the Retirement Account payable at the beginning of the seventh month following the Participant’s Termination of Employment. 

 (b) Payment Provisions for Discretionary Contributions. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, a Payment Sub-Account comprised of discretionary contributions under Paragraph 5(c)
shall be payable commencing on or as soon as administratively practicable (but not more than 75 days) after the beginning of the seventh month following the Participant’s Termination of Employment in a single cash payment equal to the balance
of the applicable Payment Sub-Account as of the applicable payment date as determined by the Plan Administrator, unless the Participating Employers establish a different payment rule at the time the discretionary contribution is made that otherwise
complies with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. 
 (c) Subsequent Changes to Payment Elections. A
Participant may make an election to change the form of payment (i.e., lump sum or permitted number of installments) of the Participant’s Retirement Account only if (i) such election is made at least twelve (12) months prior to the
date the payment of the Retirement Account would have otherwise commenced, and (ii) the effect of such election is to defer the commencement of such payment by at least five (5) years. In addition, a Participant may change the timing or
form of the fixed date payment elected with respect to an In-Service Account only if (i) such election is made at least twelve (12) months prior to the date the payment of the In-Service Account would have otherwise

  
 6 

 
commenced, and (ii) the effect of such election is to defer the specified fixed date for such payment by at least five (5) years (i.e., such election will not change the timing or form
of the payment for the In-Service Account due to Termination of Employment occurring before the applicable fixed date). The Plan Administrator may in its discretion determine whether a Participant will be permitted to make any elections under this
Paragraph 6(c) or to limit the number of any such elections permitted for a Participant. 
 (d) Installments. If amounts
are payable to a Participant in the form of annual installments, the first annual installment shall be paid commencing per the applicable election set forth in Paragraph 6(a) above and each subsequent annual installment shall be paid on or about the
anniversary of the first installment. The amount payable on each payment date shall be equal to the balance of the applicable Payment Sub-Account on the applicable payment date as determined by the Plan Administrator divided by the number of
remaining installments (including the installment then payable). 
 (e) Death. If a Participant dies before all payments
to the Participant under the Plan have been made, the Participant’s Account shall be payable to the Participant’s Beneficiary in a single cash payment as soon as administratively practicable (but not more than 75 days) after the
Participant’s death in an amount equal to the balance of the Participant’s Account on the applicable payment date as determined by the Plan Administrator. 
 (f) Withdrawals on Account of an Unforeseeable Emergency. A Participant who is in active service with a Participating Employer may, if permitted by the Plan Administrator, receive a refund of all
or any part of the amounts previously credited to the Participant’s Account in the case of an “unforeseeable emergency.” A Participant requesting a payment pursuant to this Paragraph 6(f) shall have the burden of proof of
establishing, to the Plan Administrator’s satisfaction, the existence of an “unforeseeable emergency,” and the amount of the payment needed to satisfy the same. In that regard, the Participant must provide the Plan Administrator with
such financial data and information as the Plan Administrator may request. If the Plan Administrator determines that a payment should be made to a Participant under this Paragraph 6(f), the payment shall be made within a reasonable time after the
Plan Administrator’s determination of the existence of the “unforeseeable emergency” and the amount of payment so needed. As used herein, the term “unforeseeable emergency” means a severe financial hardship to a Participant
resulting from a sudden and unexpected illness or accident of the Participant or of a dependent of the Participant, loss of the Participant’s property due to casualty, or other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a
result of events beyond the control of the Participant. The circumstances that constitute an “unforeseeable emergency” shall depend upon the facts of each case, but, in any case, payment may not be made to the extent that the hardship is
or may be relieved (i) through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise, or (ii) by liquidation of the Participant’s assets, to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship.
Examples of what are not considered to be “unforeseeable emergencies” include the need to send a Participant’s child to college or the desire to purchase a home. Withdrawals of amounts because of an “unforeseeable emergency”
may not exceed an amount reasonably needed to satisfy the emergency need. 

  
 7 

 (g) Other Payment Provisions. To be effective, any elections under this Paragraph 6
shall be made on such form, at such time and pursuant to such procedures as determined by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion from time to time. Any deferral or payment hereunder shall be subject to applicable payroll and withholding
taxes. In the event any amount becomes payable under the provisions of the Plan to a Participant, Beneficiary or other person who is a minor or an incompetent, whether or not declared incompetent by a court, such amount may be paid directly to the
minor or incompetent person or to such person’s fiduciary (or attorney-in-fact in the case of an incompetent) as the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, may decide, and the Plan Administrator shall not be liable to any person for any
such decision or any payment pursuant thereto. In accordance with and subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, the Plan Administrator may require a Participant’s Account to be paid in a lump sum upon Termination of
Employment, notwithstanding any prior payment elections by the Participant, if the entire balance of the Participant’s Account as of the date of Termination of Employment is less than an amount specified by the Plan Administrator not to exceed
the applicable dollar amount under Section 402(g)(1)(B) of the Code for such year. 
  

	7.	Amendment, Modification and Termination of the Plan: 

 The O&C Committee shall have the right and power at any time and from time to time to amend the Plan in whole or in part and at any time to terminate the Plan; provided, however, that no
amendment or termination may reduce the amount actually credited to a Participant’s Account on the date of the amendment or termination, or further defer the due dates for the payment of the amounts, without the consent of the affected
Participant. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary but subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, in connection with any termination of the Plan the O&C Committee shall have the authority to cause the
Accounts of all Participants (and Beneficiaries of any deceased Participants) to be paid in a single cash payment as of a date determined by the O&C Committee or to otherwise accelerate the payment of all Accounts in such manner as the O&C
Committee determines in its discretion. 
  

	8.	Claims Procedures: 

Claims for benefits under the Plan shall be addressed pursuant to the claims procedures applicable under the Thrift Plan. Any decision
pursuant to such claims procedures shall be final and conclusive upon all persons interested therein, except to the extent otherwise provided by applicable law. 
  

	9.	Indemnity of Plan Administrator: 

 The Participating Employers shall indemnify and hold harmless the Plan Administrator and any Employee to whom the duties of the Plan Administrator may be delegated from and against any and all claims,
losses, damages, expenses or liabilities arising from any action or failure to act with respect to the Plan, except in the case of willful misconduct by the Plan Administrator or any such Employee. 

  
 8 

	10.	Applicable Law: 

 The Plan
shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey, except to the extent such laws are preempted by the laws of the United States of America. 

 

	11.	Compliance With Section 409A of the Code 

 The Plan is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Plan shall be interpreted, operated and administered consistent with its
intent. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, in the event that the Plan Administrator determines in good faith that any amounts payable under this Plan may not be either exempt from, or compliant with, Section 409A of the
Code, the Plan Administrator shall adopt such amendments to this Plan or adopt other policies or procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effective), or take any other commercially reasonable actions necessary or
appropriate (i) to preserve the intended tax treatment of the amounts payable hereunder, to preserve the economic benefits of such amounts, and/or to avoid less favorable accounting or tax consequences for the Participating Employers and/or
(ii) to exempt the amounts payable hereunder from Section 409A of the Code or to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and thereby avoid the application of additional taxes thereunder; provided,
however, that this Paragraph 11 does not, and shall not be construed so as to, create any obligation on the part of any Participating Employer to adopt any such amendments, policies or procedures or to take any other such actions or to
indemnify any Participant for any failure to do so. 
  

	12.	Miscellaneous: 

 A
Participant’s rights and interests under the Plan may not be assigned or transferred by the Participant. In that regard, no part of any amounts credited or payable hereunder shall, prior to actual payment, (i) be subject to seizure,
attachment, garnishment or sequestration for the payment of debts, judgments, alimony or separate maintenance owed by the Participant or any other person, (ii) be transferable by operation of law in the event of the Participant’s or any
person’s bankruptcy or insolvency or (iii) be transferable to a spouse as a result of a property settlement or otherwise. The Plan shall be an unsecured and unfunded arrangement. To the extent the Participant acquires a right to receive
payments from the Participating Employers under the Plan, the right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Participating Employers. Nothing contained herein may be deemed to create a trust of any kind or any
fiduciary relationship between a Participating Employer and any Participant. Designation as an Eligible Employee or Participant in the Plan shall not entitle or be deemed to entitle the person to continued employment with the Participating
Employers. The Plan shall be binding on the Corporation and any successor in interest of the Corporation.

 EXECUTION COPY

 June 21, 2013 
 First PacTrust Bancorp, Inc. 
 18500 Von Karman Avenue, Suite 900 

Irvine, California 92612 
 Ladies and Gentlemen:

 This letter agreement (the “Agreement”) will confirm the understanding and agreement between First PacTrust
Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) and FIG Partners, LLC (“FIG” or the “Placement Agent”) that FIG act as the exclusive placement agent for the Company, on a reasonable best efforts basis, in connection with the proposed
placement (the “Placement”) of up to $15 million of registered shares of the Company’s voting common stock, $.01 par value per share (the “Securities”). The terms of such Placement and the Securities shall be mutually agreed
upon by the Company and the purchasers (each, a “Purchaser” and collectively, the “Purchasers”) pursuant to the terms of one or more Securities Purchase Agreements (the “Securities Purchase Agreements”) and nothing
herein constitutes that FIG would have the power or authority to bind the Company or any Purchaser or an obligation for the Company to issue any Securities or complete the Placement. This Agreement and the Securities Purchase Agreements shall be
collectively referred to herein as the “Transaction Documents.” The date of the closing of the Placement shall be referred to herein as the “Closing Date.” The Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that the execution of this
Agreement does not constitute a commitment by FIG to purchase the Securities and does not ensure the successful placement of the Securities or any portion thereof or the success of FIG with respect to securing any other financing on behalf of the
Company. Further, no provision of this Agreement shall require the Placement Agent to expend or risk its own funds or incur any financial liability on behalf of any Purchaser or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Placement Agent will have
the right, but not the obligation, to determine the allocation of the Securities among the Purchasers, provided that such allocation is reasonably acceptable to the Company. The shares of voting common stock, $.01 par value per share, of the Company
to be outstanding after the completion of the Placement and the offering contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement (as defined herein) are referred to herein as the “Common Stock.” 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, it is understood and agreed that the Placement Agent’s services
hereunder do not and will not include providing any tax, accounting, legal or regulatory advice or developing any tax strategies for the Company or any of its subsidiaries, and the Company and its subsidiaries represent and warrant that they have
relied and will continue to rely on the advice of their own legal, tax, accounting and regulatory advisors with respect to the proposed Placement and related matters (including, without limitation, the Company’s decisions as to whether to
proceed with the proposed Placement or to pursue other potential alternatives). The Company and/or its subsidiaries will make any necessary bank regulatory filings required to be made by the Company and/or its subsidiaries and use their commercially
reasonable efforts to make such additional filings as are reasonably requested by any bank regulatory agency and to obtain any necessary bank regulatory approvals required to be obtained by them in connection with the Placement; provided, that any
necessary bank regulatory filings required to be made by any Purchaser in the Placement shall be made by such Purchaser. 
 SECTION 1.
COMPENSATION. 

 As compensation for the services provided by FIG hereunder, the Company agrees to pay to FIG
a cash fee payable immediately upon the closing of the Placement and equal to 4.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised in the Placement. 

SECTION 2. REGISTRATION STATEMENT. 
 The Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Placement Agent that: 

(A) The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement on
Form S-3 (No. 333-170622), as amended (the “Registration Statement”), covering the registration of the sale of certain securities, including the Securities, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”),
from time to time in accordance with Rule 415 of the rules and regulations of the Commission under the 1933 Act (the “1933 Act Regulations”). Such registration statement has been declared effective by the Commission and the
Company has filed such post-effective amendments thereto as may be required prior to the execution of this Agreement and each such post-effective amendment is effective under the 1933 Act. Promptly after execution and delivery of this
Agreement, the Company will prepare and file a prospectus supplement in accordance with the provisions of Rule 430B of the 1933 Act Regulations (“Rule 430B”) and paragraph (b) of Rule 424 of the 1933 Act Regulations (“Rule
424(b)”). Any information included in such prospectus supplement that was omitted from such registration statement at the time it became effective but that is deemed to be part of and included in such registration statement pursuant to Rule
430B is referred to herein as “Rule 430B Information.” Each base prospectus and prospectus supplement used in connection with the offering of the Securities that omitted Rule 430B Information is referred to herein collectively as a
“preliminary prospectus.” Such registration statement, at any given time, including any amendments thereto to such time, the exhibits and any schedules thereto at such time, the documents incorporated by reference therein at such time and
the documents otherwise deemed to be a part thereof or included therein by the 1933 Act Regulations, is referred to herein as the “Registration Statement;” provided, however, that the term “Registration Statement” without
reference to a time means such registration statement as of the time of the first contract of sale for the Securities, which time shall be considered the “new effective date” of such registration statement with respect to any underwriter
and the Securities (within the meaning of Rule 430B(f)(2)); provided, further, that any registration statement filed pursuant to Rule 462(b) of the 1933 Act Regulations is referred to herein as the “Rule 462(b) Registration Statement”, and
after such filing the term “Registration Statement” shall include the Rule 462(b) Registration Statement. The final base prospectus and the prospectus supplement, dated the date hereof, including the documents incorporated by reference
therein, are referred to herein collectively as the “Prospectus.” For purposes of this Agreement, all references to the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to any of the
foregoing shall be deemed to include any copy filed with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system (“EDGAR”). 
 All references in this Agreement to financial statements and schedules and other information which is “contained,” “included” or “stated” in the Registration Statement, any
preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus or the General Disclosure Package (as defined herein) (or other references of like import) shall be deemed to include all such financial statements and schedules and other information which is incorporated by
reference in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus or the General Disclosure Package, as the case may be, prior to the execution of this Agreement; and all references in this Agreement to amendments or supplements to
the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus or the General Disclosure Package shall be deemed to include the filing of any document under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), which is
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, such preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus or the General Disclosure Package, as the case may be, after the execution of this Agreement. 

SECTION 3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

 (a) The Company hereby makes the representations and warranties set forth below to the
Placement Agent. 
 (i) Compliance with Registration Requirements. The Company is permitted to use the
Registration Statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-170622) to register and sell the Securities. The Registration Statement, including any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement, and any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective under
the 1933 Act and no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, including any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement, or any post-effective amendment thereto has been issued under the 1933 Act and no proceedings for that
purpose have been instituted or are pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, are contemplated by the Commission, and the Company has complied with any requests on the part of the Commission for additional information with respect to the

comply, as the case may be, in all material respects with the requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations, and neither the Registration Statement, including any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement, nor any amendment thereto
contained, contains or will contain, as the case may be, an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted, omits or will omit, as the case may be, to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading. Neither the Prospectus nor any amendment or supplement thereto, at the respective dates of the Prospectus or such amendment or supplement were issued, or at the Closing Time, included, includes or will include, as the case may be, an
untrue statement of a material fact or omitted, omits or will omit, as the case may be, to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. 

At the Applicable Time (as defined below), each Issuer-Represented Free Writing Prospectus (as defined below) identified
on Schedule A-1 hereto, any other information conveyed to purchasers of the Securities at or prior to the Applicable Time, as set forth on Schedule A-2 hereto, and the Statutory Prospectus (as defined below), all considered together
(collectively, the “General Disclosure Package”), did not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading. 
 Each preliminary prospectus, the Statutory Prospectus and the Prospectus
complied when filed with the Commission in all material respects with the 1933 Act Regulations, and each such document furnished to the Placement Agent for use in connection with the Placement was identical to the electronically transmitted copies
thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T. 

The representations and warranties in this subsection shall not apply to statements in or omissions from the Registration
Statement or the Prospectus or the General Disclosure Package or any amendment or supplement thereto made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Placement Agent expressly for use in the
Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto. 
 As used in this subsection
and elsewhere in this Agreement: 
 “Applicable Time” means 9:05 a.m. (New York City time) on
June 21, 2013 or such other time as agreed by the Company and the Placement Agent. 

  
 3 

 “Statutory Prospectus,” at any given time, means the base
prospectus that is included in the Registration Statement and the preliminary prospectus supplement relating to the Securities immediately prior to that time, including the documents incorporated by reference therein at such time. For purposes of
this definition, information contained in a form of prospectus that is deemed retroactively to be a part of the Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 430B shall be considered to be included in the Statutory Prospectus only at the actual time that
such form of prospectus is filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b). 
 “Issuer-Represented Free
Writing Prospectus” means any “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433 of the 1933 Act Regulations (“Rule 433”), relating to the Securities that (i) is required to be filed with the Commission by the
Company, (ii) is a “road show that is a written communication” within the meaning of Rule 433(d)(8)(i), whether or not required to be filed with the Commission, or (iii) is exempt from filing with the Commission pursuant to Rule
433(d)(5)(i) because it contains a description of the Securities or of the offering that does not reflect the final terms, in each case in the form filed or required to be filed with the Commission or, if not required to be filed, in the form
retained in the Company’s records pursuant to Rule 433(g). 
 Each Issuer-Represented Free Writing
Prospectus, at its issue date and at all subsequent times through the completion of the public offering contemplated hereby or until any earlier date that the Company notified or notifies the Placement Agent, did not, does not and will not include
any information that conflicted, conflicts or will conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Statutory Prospectus or the Prospectus, including any document incorporated by reference
therein and any preliminary or other prospectus deemed to be a part thereof that has not been superseded or modified. 
 (A) At the date of the original effectiveness of the Registration Statement, (B) at the earliest time after the original effectiveness of the Registration Statement that the Company or another
offering participant made a bona fide offer (within the meaning of Rule 164(h)(2) of the 1933 Act Regulations) of the Securities and (C) at the execution of this Agreement (with such time of execution being used as the determination date
for purpose of this clause (C)), the Company was not and is not an “ineligible issuer,” as defined in Rule 405 of the 1933 Act Regulations (“Rule 405”), without taking into account any determination of the Commission pursuant to
Rule 405 that it is not necessary that the Company be considered an ineligible issuer. 
 (ii) Incorporated
Documents. The documents incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, at the time they were or hereafter are filed with the Commission, complied and will comply in all material
respects with the requirements of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (the “1934 Act Regulations”), and, when read together with the other information in the Registration Statement, the General
Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, as the case may be, at the time the Registration Statement, including any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement, or any amendment thereto became effective, at the Applicable Time and at the Closing Time, did
not, do not and will not, as the case may be, include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading. 
 (iii) Independent Accountants. The accountants who certified the financial statements
included in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus are independent public accountants as required by the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations and, to the Company’s knowledge, are not and have not been in
violation of the auditor independence requirements of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 and the related rules and regulations of the 

  
 4 

 
Commission (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) in respect of the entity whose financial statements it audited. 

(iv) Financial Statements. The financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Registration
Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, together with the related schedules and notes, present fairly, in all material respects, the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company and its consolidated
subsidiaries, at the dates indicated and their respective statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the periods specified. Such financial statements have been prepared in compliance with the requirements of the 1933 Act
and the 1934 Act and in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved. Any selected financial data and the summary financial
information included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus present fairly, in all material respects, the information shown therein and have been compiled on a basis consistent
with that of the audited financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements and the related notes
thereto included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus present fairly, in all material respects, the pro forma consolidated results of operations and the financial position of
the Company for the periods specified and have been prepared in accordance with Rules 11-01 and 11-02 of Regulation S-X and the Commission’s rules and guidelines with respect to pro forma financial statements, and the assumptions used in the
preparation thereof are reasonable. No other financial statements or schedules are required under the 1933 Act, the 1933 Act Regulations, the 1934 Act or the 1934 Act Regulations to be included or incorporated by reference in the Registration
Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus. To the extent applicable, all disclosures contained in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus regarding “non-GAAP financial measures” (as
such term is defined by the rules and regulations of the Commission) comply with Regulation G of the 1934 Act, the 1934 Act Regulations and Item 10 of Regulation S-K under the 1933 Act, as applicable, in all material respects. 

(v) Certain Data and Forward-Looking Statements. All statistical or market-related data included or incorporated by
reference in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus are based on or derived from sources that the Company reasonably believes to be reliable and accurate, and the Company has obtained the written consent to the
use of such data from such sources to the extent required. Each “forward-looking statement” (within the meaning of Section 27A of the 1933 Act or Section 21E of the 1934 Act) contained or incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus has been made or reaffirmed with a reasonable basis and in good faith. 
 (vi) No Material Adverse Change in Business. Since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, except as
otherwise stated therein, (A) there has been no material adverse change in the financial condition, earnings, or business affairs of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of
business (a “Material Adverse Effect”), (B) there have been no liabilities or obligations incurred, direct or contingent, nor transactions entered into by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, other than those in the ordinary course
of business, which are material with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, and (C) except for regular quarterly dividends on the common stock and preferred stock of the Company in amounts per share that are
consistent with past practice, there has been no dividend or distribution of any kind declared, paid or made by the Company on any class of its capital stock. 

  
 5 

 (vii) Internal Accounting Controls. Each of the Company and its
subsidiaries maintains a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (A) transactions are executed in accordance with the management’s general or specific authorizations, (B) transactions are
recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset accountability, (C) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with the management’s general or specific authorization
and (D) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. Since the date of the Company’s latest audited financial
statements incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, there has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. 
 (viii)
Disclosure Controls. The Company has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the 1934 Act). Such disclosure controls and procedures (A) are
designed to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer by others within those entities and
(B) are effective to perform the functions for which they were established. The Company’s auditors and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors have not been advised that there is (1) any fraud, whether or not material, that
involves management or other employees who have a role in the Company’s internal controls or (2) any material weaknesses in internal controls. Since the date of the most recent evaluation of such disclosure controls and procedures, there
have been no significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls, including any corrective actions with regard to material weaknesses. The principal executive officer (or the equivalents)
and principal financial officer (or the equivalent) of the Company have made all certifications required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and the statements made in each such certification are accurate; the Company, its subsidiaries and to the
Company’s knowledge, its directors and officers, are each in compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. 
 (ix) Regulatory Matters. The Company, Pacific Trust Bank, Beach Business Bank (“Beach”) and, to the knowledge of the Company, the Company’s other subsidiaries, are in compliance in
all material respects with all laws administered by and regulations of any governmental authority applicable to it or to them (including, without limitation, all regulations and orders of, or agreements with, the Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency, the California Department of Financial Institutions and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Housing Act, the Community Reinvestment Act, the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, all other
applicable fair lending laws or other laws relating to discrimination and the Bank Secrecy Act and Title III of the U.S.A. Patriot Act), the failure to comply with which would have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as disclosed in the Registration
Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is subject or is party to, or has received any notice or advice that any of them may become subject or party to any investigation with
respect to, any corrective, suspension or cease-and-desist order, agreement, consent agreement, memorandum of understanding or other regulatory enforcement action, proceeding or order with or by, or is a party to any commitment letter or similar
undertaking to, or is subject to any directive by, or has been a recipient of any supervisory letter from, or has adopted any board resolutions at the request of, any Regulatory Agency (as defined below) that currently relates to or restricts in any
material respect the conduct of their business or that in any manner relates to their capital adequacy, credit policies or management (each, a “Regulatory Agreement”), nor has the Company or any of its subsidiaries been advised by any

  
 6 

 
Regulatory Agency that it is considering issuing or requesting any such Regulatory Agreement. There is no unresolved violation, criticism or exception by any Regulatory Agency with respect to any
report or statement relating to any examinations of the Company or any of its subsidiaries which, in the reasonable judgment of the Company, is expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. As used herein, the term “Regulatory Agency”
means any federal or state agency charged with the supervision or regulation of depositary institutions or holding companies of depositary institutions, or engaged in the insurance of depositary institution deposits, or any court, administrative
agency or commission or other Governmental Entity, authority or instrumentality having supervisory or regulatory authority with respect to the Company or any of its subsidiaries. 

(x) Regulatory Compliance. The deposit accounts in the Company’s subsidiary banks are insured up to the
applicable limits by the Deposit Insurance Fund of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) to the fullest extent permitted by law and the rules and regulations of the FDIC, and no proceeding for the revocation or termination
of such insurance is pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened or contemplated. 
 (xi) Good
Standing of the Company. The Company has been duly organized and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Maryland and has corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to
conduct its business as described in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the Securities. The Company is duly qualified as a foreign
corporation to transact business and is in good standing in each other jurisdiction in which such qualification is required, whether by reason of the ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of business, except where the failure so to qualify
or to be in good standing would not result in a Material Adverse Effect. The Company is duly registered as a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. 

(xii) Good Standing of Subsidiaries. Pacific Trust Bank and Beach are the only “significant subsidiaries”
of the Company (as such term is defined in Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X) (a “Significant Subsidiary”) and each has corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business as described in
the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required, whether by reason
of the ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of business, except where the failure so to qualify or to be in good standing would not result in a Material Adverse Effect. Pacific Trust Bank is a savings bank chartered under the laws of the
United States and its charter is in full force and effect. Beach is a banking corporation chartered under the laws of the State of California. Except as otherwise disclosed in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the
Prospectus, all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Pacific Trust Bank and Beach have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and non-assessable and are owned by the Company, directly or through subsidiaries,
free and clear of any security interest, mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance, claim or equity, and none of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Pacific Trust Bank or Beach were issued in violation of any preemptive or similar rights of any
securityholder of Pacific Trust Bank or Beach. 
 (xiii) Authorization of Agreement and the Securities
Purchase Agreements. This Agreement and the Securities Purchase Agreements have each been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company. When duly executed by the Placement Agent, this Agreement will constitute a valid and legally
binding agreement of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights
generally, and the application of equitable principles relating to the availability of remedies, and subject to 12 U.S.C. § 1818(b)(6)(D) (or any successor statute) and similar bank regulatory powers and to the application of

  
 7 

 
principles of public policy, and except as rights to indemnity or contribution, including but not limited to, indemnification provisions set forth herein, may be limited by federal or state
securities law and the public policy underlying such laws. When duly executed by the Purchasers, the Securities Purchase Agreements will each constitute a valid and legally binding agreement of the Company, enforceable against the Company in
accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, and the application of equitable principles relating to the
availability of remedies, and subject to 12 U.S.C. § 1818(b)(6)(D) (or any successor statute) and similar bank regulatory powers and to the application of principles of public policy, and except as rights to indemnity or contribution, may be
limited by federal or state securities law and the public policy underlying such laws. 
 (xiv) Authorization
of the Securities. The Securities to be issued and sold by the Company to the Purchasers in the Placement have been duly authorized by the Company and when issued and delivered to and paid for by the Purchasers at the Closing Time in
accordance with the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreements, will be validly issued, will be issued in compliance with federal and state securities laws and will be free of statutory, and will not be issued in violation of any contractual,
preemptive rights, rights of first refusal and similar rights. 
 (xv) Description of the Securities. The
Securities will conform in all material respects to the respective statements relating thereto contained in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. 

(xvi) Absence of Defaults and Non-contravention. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is in violation of
its charter or bylaws or in default in the performance or observance of any obligation, agreement, covenant or condition contained in any contract, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan or credit agreement, note, lease or other agreement or
instrument to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of them may be bound, or to which any of the property or assets of the Company or any subsidiary is subject, except for such violations or defaults that
would not result in a Material Adverse Effect. No event of default under that certain indenture, dated as of April 23, 2012, between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, as supplemented by a supplemental indenture entered
into by the Company and the trustee on April 23, 2012 (collectively, the “Indenture”), or default with notice and/or lapse of time that would constitute an event of default in respect of the Company’s 7.50% Senior Notes due
April 15, 2020 (the “Notes”) has occurred and is continuing. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents, the issue and sale of the Securities by the Company and the performance by the Company of all of its
obligations under the Transaction Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein and in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus (including the use of the proceeds from the sale of the
Securities as described therein) and compliance by the Company with its obligations hereunder have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and do not and will not, whether with or without the giving of notice or passage of time or
both, conflict with or constitute a breach of, or default or Repayment Event under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to,
(i) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, note, lease or other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which any of
the property or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is subject, (ii) the provisions of the charter, bylaws or other organizational documents of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or (iii) any statute or any order, rule or
regulation of any U.S. federal, state or local or international court, government or governmental or regulatory body or agency (each, a “Governmental Entity”) having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any of
their property, assets or operations except, with respect to clauses (i) and (iii), for those conflicts, breaches, defaults, Repayment Events, 

  
 8 

 
liens, charges or encumbrances that would not, singly or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect. As used herein, a “Repayment Event” means any event or condition
which gives the holder of any note, debenture or other evidence of indebtedness (or any person acting on such holder’s behalf) the right to require the repurchase, redemption or repayment of all or a portion of such indebtedness by the Company
or any of its subsidiaries. 
 (xvii) Accuracy of Exhibits. There are no contracts or documents which are
required to be described in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus or the documents incorporated by reference therein or to be filed as exhibits thereto which have not been so described and filed as required.

 (xviii) Absence of Labor Dispute. No labor dispute with the employees of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries exists or, to the knowledge of the Company, is imminent, and the Company is not aware of any existing or imminent labor disturbance by the employees of any of the principal suppliers, manufacturers, customers or contractors of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries, which, in either case, would result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (xix)
Absence of Proceedings. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or brought by any court or Governmental Entity, domestic or foreign, now pending, or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, against or
affecting the Company or any of its subsidiaries, which (A) is required to be disclosed in Registration Statement (other than as disclosed therein), (B) might result in a Material Adverse Effect or (C) might materially and adversely
affect the assets or operations of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or the consummation of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement or the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder or under the Securities. The aggregate of
all pending legal or governmental proceedings to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or of which any of their respective assets or operations is the subject which are not described in the Registration Statement, the General
Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, including ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business, would not result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (xx) Possession of Intellectual Property. The Company and its subsidiaries own or possess, or can acquire on reasonable terms, adequate patents, patent licenses, trademarks, service marks and trade
names necessary to carry on their businesses as presently conducted and the Company and its subsidiaries have not received any notice of infringement of or conflict with asserted rights of others with respect to any patents, patent licenses,
trademarks, service marks or trade names that, in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has infringed or is infringing on
the intellectual property of a third party, and, except as are described in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has received notice of a claim by a third
party to the contrary, except where such infringement would not, singly or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (xxi) Possession of Licenses and Permits. The Company and its subsidiaries possess such permits, licenses, approvals, consents and other authorizations (collectively, “Governmental
Licenses”) issued by the appropriate federal, state, local or foreign regulatory agencies or bodies necessary to conduct the business now operated by them, except where the failure so to possess would not, singly or in the aggregate, result in
a Material Adverse Effect. The Company and its subsidiaries are in compliance with the terms and conditions of all such Governmental Licenses, except where the failure to so comply would not, singly or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse
Effect. All of the Governmental Licenses are valid and in full force and effect, except where the invalidity of such Governmental Licenses or the failure of such Governmental Licenses to be in full force and effect would not, singly or in the
aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither 

  
 9 

 
the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any such Governmental Licenses which, singly or in the aggregate, if
the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (xxii)
Title to Property. The Company and its subsidiaries have good and marketable title to all real property owned by the Company and its subsidiaries and good title to all other properties owned by them, in each case, free and clear of all
mortgages, pledges, liens, security interests, claims, restrictions or encumbrances of any kind except such as (A) are described in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus or (B) would not have a
Material Adverse Effect. All of the leases and subleases material to the business of the Company and its subsidiaries, considered as one enterprise, and under which the Company or any of its subsidiaries holds properties described in the
Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, are in full force and effect, and neither the Company nor any subsidiary has any notice of any material claim of any sort that has been asserted by anyone adverse to the
rights of the Company or any subsidiary under any such lease or sublease or affecting or questioning the rights of the Company or such subsidiary to the continued possession of the leased or subleased premises under any such lease or sublease and
that, in any such case, would have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (xxiii) Absence of Manipulation. Neither
the Company nor any affiliate of the Company has taken, nor will the Company or any affiliate take, directly or indirectly, any action which is designed to or which has constituted or which would be expected to cause or result in the unlawful
stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of the Securities. 
 (xxiv) Absence of Further Requirements. No filing with, or consent, approval, authorization, order, license, registration, qualification or decree of or with any Governmental Entity is necessary or
required in connection with the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents or for the offering, issuance, sale or delivery of the Securities, the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder or under the
Securities Purchase Agreements or the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements, except the registration of the Securities under the 1933 Act, which has been effected (or, with respect to any Rule 462
Registration Statement, will be effected in accordance with Rule 462(b) under the 1933 Act) or as may be required under the (i) rules and regulations of the NASDAQ Global Market (the “NASDAQ”) and the Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority (“FINRA”) or (ii) securities or Blue Sky laws of the various states and other jurisdictions in connection with the sale of the Securities by the Company to the Purchasers. 

(xxv) Investment Company Act. The Company is not required, and upon the issuance and sale of the Securities as
herein contemplated and the application of the net proceeds therefrom as described in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus will not be required, to register as an “investment company” under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). 
 (xxvi) Environmental Laws. The
Company and its subsidiaries are (i) in compliance with any and all applicable foreign, federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the protection of human health and safety, the environment or hazardous or toxic substances or
wastes, pollutants or contaminants (“Environmental Laws”), (ii) have received and are in compliance with all permits, licenses or other approvals required of them under applicable Environmental Laws to conduct their respective
businesses and (iii) have not received notice of any actual or potential liability for the investigation or remediation of any disposal or release of hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, pollutants or contaminants, except where such
non-compliance with Environmental Laws, failure to 

  
 10 

 
receive required permits, licenses or other approvals, or liability would not have a Material Adverse Effect. 

(xxvii) NASDAQ. Shares of Common Stock outstanding prior to the issuance of the Securities are listed for quotation
on the NASDAQ, and the Company has not received any notice from the NASDAQ regarding the delisting of such shares from the NASDAQ. The Company will file with the NASDAQ a Notification of Listing of Additional Shares with respect to the Securities
required by the rules of the NASDAQ as soon as practicable following the date hereof. 
 (xxviii) FINRA.
In accordance with the FINRA Rule 5110(b)(7)(C)(i), the Securities have been offered pursuant to the standards for such Form S-3 in effect prior to October 21, 1992. 

(xxix) Contracts. Except for (i) the Small Business Lending Fund-Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of
August 30, 2011, between the Company and the Secretary of the Treasury, relating to the Company’s Senior Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, issued on that date pursuant to the Small Business Lending Fund program of the
U.S. Department of the Treasury and (ii) the subscription agreements between the Company and each of the investors in the Company’s common stock offering completed on November 1, 2010, there are no contracts, agreements or
understandings between the Company and any person granting such person the right to require the Company to file a registration statement under the 1933 Act with respect to any securities of the Company or to require the Company to include such
securities with the Securities registered pursuant to the Registration Statement. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has sent or received any communication regarding termination of, or intent not to renew, any of the contracts or
agreements referred to or described in the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, or referred to or described in, or filed as an exhibit to, the Registration Statement, and no such termination or non-renewal has been threatened by the
Company or any of its subsidiaries or, to the Company’s knowledge, any other party to any such contract or agreement. 
 (xxx) Insurance. The Company and each of its subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as are prudent and
customary in the business in which they are engaged; neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has been refused any insurance coverage sought or applied for; and neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has any reason to believe that it
will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at a cost that would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

 (xxxi) Capitalization. The authorized and outstanding capitalization of the Company is as set forth in
the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, subject, in each case, to the issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise of stock options and warrants disclosed as outstanding in the Registration Statement, the
General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and the grant of options, restricted stock and other equity-based incentive awards under existing stock plans described in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.
The authorized capital stock of the Company conforms and will conform in all material respects as to legal matters to the description thereof contained in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. The shares of
Common Stock outstanding prior to the issuance of the Securities have been duly authorized, are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, have been issued in compliance with applicable securities laws and were not issued in violation of any
preemptive or similar rights. 
 (xxxii) Dividends. Except as otherwise would not have a Material Adverse
Effect, no subsidiary of the Company is subject to any material direct or indirect prohibition on paying any 

  
 11 

 
dividends to the Company, on making any other distribution on such subsidiary’s capital stock, on repaying to the Company any loans or advances to such subsidiary from the Company or on
transferring any of such subsidiary’s property or assets to the Company or any other subsidiary of the Company, except as described in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. 

(xxxiii) Taxes. All tax returns required to be filed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries have been timely
filed, and all taxes and other assessments of a similar nature (whether imposed directly or through withholding) including any interest, additions to tax or penalties applicable thereto due or claimed to be due from such entities have been timely
paid, other than those being contested in good faith and for which adequate reserves have been provided or which if not paid, would not individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect. 

(xxxiv) Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries nor, to the knowledge of the
Company, any director, officer, agent employee or affiliate of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, is aware of or has taken any action, directly or indirectly, that would result in a violation by such persons of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act
of 1977, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, and the Company and its subsidiaries have instituted and maintain policies and procedures designed to ensure continued compliance therewith, including without limitation a system of
internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurances that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain accountability for assets, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded
accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. 
 (xxxv) Derivative Financial Instruments. Any and all material swaps, caps, floors, futures, forward contracts, option agreements (other than stock options issued to the Company’s employees,
directors, agents or consultants) and other derivative financial instruments, contracts or arrangements, whether entered into for the account of the Company or one of its subsidiaries or for the account of a customer of the Company or one of its
subsidiaries, were entered into in the ordinary course of business and in accordance with applicable laws, rules, regulations and policies of all applicable regulatory agencies and with counterparties believed by the Company to be financially
responsible at the time. The Company and each of its subsidiaries have duly performed in all material respects all of their obligations thereunder to the extent that such obligations to perform have accrued, and there are no breaches, violations or

respective ERISA Affiliates would have any liability. None of the Company, the Company’s subsidiaries or their respective ERISA Affiliates have incurred, or expect to incur, material liability under (i) Title IV of ERISA with respect
to termination of, or withdrawal from, any “employee benefit plan” or (ii) Sections 412, 4971, 4975 or 4980B of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations and published interpretations
thereunder (collectively, the “Code”). Each “employee benefit plan” for which the Company, any of the Company’s subsidiaries or any of their respective ERISA Affiliates would have any liability that is intended to be
qualified under 

  
 12 

 
Section 401(a) of the Code is so qualified in all material respects and, to the Company’s knowledge, nothing has occurred, whether by action or by failure to act, which would cause the
loss of such qualification. “ERISA Affiliate” means, with respect to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, any member of any group of organizations described in Sections 414(b), (c), (m) or (o) of the Code or
Section 4001(b) of ERISA of which the Company or such subsidiary is a member.

COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY. The Company covenants with the Placement Agent as follows: 
 (a) Compliance with Securities
Regulations and Commission Requests. The Company, subject to Section 5(b), will comply with the requirements of Rule 430B, if applicable, and will notify the Placement Agent immediately, and confirm the notice in writing, (i) when
any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement shall become effective, or any supplement to the Prospectus or any amended Prospectus shall have been filed, (ii) of the receipt of any comments from the Commission, (iii) of any
request by the Commission for any amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus or any document incorporated by reference therein or for additional information, and
(iv) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or of any order by any Governmental Entity preventing or suspending the use of any preliminary prospectus, the Statutory
Prospectus or the Prospectus, or of the suspension of the qualification of the Securities for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or of the initiation or threatening of any proceedings for any of such purposes. The Company will promptly effect the
filings necessary pursuant to Rule 424(b) (without reliance on Rule 424(b)(8)) and will take such steps as it deems necessary to ascertain promptly whether the form of prospectus transmitted for filing under Rule 424(b) was received for filing
by the Commission and, in the event that it was not, it will promptly file such prospectus. The Company will make every reasonable effort to prevent the issuance of any stop order and, if any stop order is issued, to obtain the lifting thereof at
the earliest possible moment. 
 (b) Filing of Amendments. The Company will give the Placement Agent notice of its
intention to file or prepare any amendment to the Registration Statement (including any filing under Rule 462(b)) or any amendment or supplement to the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus or any new registration statement relating to the
Securities, whether pursuant to the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise, will furnish the Placement Agent with copies of any such documents a reasonable amount of time prior to such proposed filing or use, as the case may be, and will not file or
use any such document to which the Placement Agent or counsel for the Placement Agent shall object. 
 (c) Delivery of
Registration Statements. The Company has furnished or will deliver to the Placement Agent and counsel for the Placement Agent, without charge, copies of the signed Registration Statement as originally filed and of each amendment thereto
(including exhibits filed therewith or incorporated by reference therein and documents incorporated by reference therein) and copies of all signed consents and certificates of experts, and will also deliver to the Placement Agent, without charge, a
conformed copy of the Registration Statement as originally filed and of each amendment thereto (without exhibits). The copies of the Registration Statement and each amendment thereto furnished to the Placement Agent will be identical to the
electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T. 
 (d) Delivery of Prospectuses. The Company has delivered to the Placement Agent, without charge, as many copies of each preliminary prospectus and the Statutory Prospectus as the Placement Agent
reasonably requested, and the Company hereby consents to the use of such copies for purposes permitted by the 1933 Act. The Company will furnish to the Placement Agent, without charge, during the period when the Prospectus is required to be
delivered under the 1933 Act, such number of copies of the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) as the Placement Agent may reasonably request. The preliminary prospectus, the Statutory Prospectus, the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements
thereto furnished to the Placement Agent will be identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T. 

  
 15 

 (e) Continued Compliance with Securities Laws. The Company will comply with the 1933
Act, the 1933 Act Regulations, the 1934 Act and the 1934 Act Regulations so as to permit the completion of the distribution of the Securities as contemplated in the Transaction Documents and in the Prospectus. If, at any time when a prospectus is
required by the 1933 Act to be delivered in connection with sales of the Securities, any event or development occurs as a result of which the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus would include any untrue statement
of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, or if it
shall be necessary to amend the Registration Statement or amend or supplement the Statutory Prospectus or the Prospectus to comply with the 1933 Act or the 1933 Act Regulations or to file a new registration statement relating to the Securities, the
Company promptly will (1) notify the Placement Agent of any such event or development, (2) prepare and file with the Commission, subject to Section 5(b) hereof, such amendment, supplement or new registration statement which will
correct such untrue statement or omission, effect such compliance or satisfy such filing requirement, (3) use its best efforts to have any such amendment to the Registration Statement or new registration statement declared effective as soon as
possible (if not an automatic shelf registration statement) and (4) supply any amended or supplemented General Disclosure Package or Prospectus to the Placement Agent in such quantities as they may reasonably request. If at any time following
the issuance of an Issuer-Represented Free Writing Prospectus there occurred or occurs an event or development as a result of which such Issuer-Represented Free Writing Prospectus conflicted or would conflict with the information contained in the
Registration Statement (or any other registration statement relating to the Securities), any preliminary prospectus, the Statutory Prospectus or the Prospectus or included, includes or would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted,
omits or would omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances prevailing at that subsequent time, not misleading, the Company will promptly notify the Placement Agent and will
promptly amend or supplement, at its own expense, such Issuer-Represented Free Writing Prospectus to eliminate or correct such conflict, untrue statement or omission. The Placement Agent’s delivery of any such amendment or supplement shall not
constitute a waiver of any of the conditions of Section 9 hereof. 
 (f) Blue Sky Qualifications. The Company will
use its best efforts, in cooperation with the Placement Agent, to qualify the Securities for offering and sale under the applicable securities laws of such states and other jurisdictions as the Placement Agent may designate and to maintain such
qualifications in effect for a period of not less than one year from the later of the effective date of the Registration Statement and any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to file any
general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified or so subject itself to taxation in respect of doing business in any jurisdiction in which
it is not otherwise so subject. The Company will also supply the Underwriters with such information as is necessary for the determination of the legality of the Securities for investment under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Underwriters may
request. 
 (g) Rule 158. The Company will timely file such reports pursuant to the 1934 Act as are necessary in order to
make generally available to its securityholders as soon as practicable an earnings statement for the purposes of, and to provide the benefits contemplated by, the last paragraph of Section 11(a) of the 1933 Act. 

(h) Use of Proceeds. The Company will use the net proceeds received by it from the sale of the Securities in the manner specified
in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. 
 (i) DTC. The Company shall use its
best efforts to permit the Securities to be eligible for clearance, settlement and trading in book-entry-only form through the facilities of DTC. 

  
 16 

 (j) Restriction on Sale of Securities. During the period beginning on the date of
this Agreement and continuing to and including 90 days after the date of the Prospectus, and without the prior written consent of the Placement Agent, the Company agrees not to (1) issue, offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option
or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or
exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, (2) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock, whether such transaction described in
clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of the Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, (3) file any registration statement with the Commission relating to the offering of any shares of Common Stock or
any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, (4) establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position in Common Stock within the meaning of Section 16 of
the 1934 Act or (5) publicly announce an intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (1), (2), (3) or (4). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (x) during the last 17 days of the 90-day restricted period the Company
issues an earnings release or material news or a material event relating to the Company occurs; or (y) prior to the expiration of the 90-day restricted period, the Company announces that it will release earnings results during the 16-day period
beginning on the last day of the 90-day period, the restrictions imposed by this Agreement shall continue to apply until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the issuance of the earnings release or the occurrence of the material news or
material event. The Company shall promptly notify the Placement Agent of any earnings release, news or event that may give rise to an extension of the initial 90-day restricted period. 

The restrictions contained in the preceding paragraph shall not apply to any of the following (including any public announcement of the
following or of intent to do any of the following): (i) the Securities to be sold hereunder, (ii) the issuance by the Company of shares of Common Stock, options to purchase shares of Common Stock and other equity-based incentive awards
pursuant to stock option and other equity compensation plans described in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, as those plans are in effect on the date of this Agreement, as well as pursuant to the
Company’s proposed 2013 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan, if approved at the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders scheduled to be held on July 16, 2013, (iii) the issuance by the Company of shares of Common Stock upon the
exercise of stock options or warrants that are described in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and that are outstanding on the date of this Agreement and the issuance by the Company of shares of Common

date of this Agreement, or under the 2013 Omnibus Plan if approved by the Company’s shareholders, (iv) the sale of shares of Common Stock to employees, directors, agents or consultants by the Company pursuant to an employee stock purchase
plan (or the filing of a registration statement on Form S-8 to register shares of Common Stock issuable under such plans or any other employee or director plan or arrangement), (v) the issuance by the Company of shares of Common Stock upon the
exercise of a warrant or the conversion of any other security outstanding on the date of this Agreement of which the Placement Agent has been advised in writing, (vi) the issuance by the Company of Common Stock pursuant to its dividend
reinvestment plan, (vii) the issuance by the Company of shares of voting Common Stock in exchange for shares of non-voting Common Stock pursuant to that certain Common Stock Share Exchange Agreement, effective as of May 29, 2013, by and
between the Company and TCW Shared Opportunity Fund V, L.P., (viii) the issuance by the Company of Common Stock as full or partial consideration for a merger, acquisition, joint venture, strategic alliance, license agreement or other similar
non-financing transaction or the filing of a registration statement with the Commission relating to such issuance or (ix) the issuance by the Company of Common Stock pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement. 

(k) Issuer-Free Writing Prospectus. The Company represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior written consent of the
Placement Agent and the Placement Agent represents and agrees that, unless it 

  
 17 

 
obtains the prior written consent of the Company, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Securities that would constitute an “issuer free writing prospectus,” as
defined in Rule 433, or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 405, required to be filed with the Commission other than the Issuer-Represented Free Writing Prospectuses, if any, identified on
Schedule A-1. Each of the Issuer-Represented Free Writing Prospectuses, if any, identified on Schedule A-1 hereto and free writing prospectuses consented to by the Company and the Placement Agent is referred to herein as an “Issuer-Permitted
Free Writing Prospectus.” The Company represents that it has treated or agrees that it will treat each Issuer-Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433, and has complied and will
comply with the requirements of Rule 433 applicable to any Issuer-Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including timely filing with the Commission where required, legending and record keeping. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company consents to the
use by the Placement Agent of a free writing prospectus that contains only (a)(i) information describing the preliminary terms of the Securities or their offering, (ii) information meeting the requirements of Rule 134 of the 1933 Act
Regulations or (iii) information that describes the final terms of the Securities or their offering and that is included in a final term sheet or (b) other customary information that is neither “issuer information,” as defined in

the Company and shall have no duties or liabilities to the equity holders or the creditors of the Company or any other person by virtue of this Agreement or the retention of FIG hereunder, all of which are hereby expressly waived.

 SECTION 11.
TERMINATION. 
 (a) Termination; General. The Placement Agent may terminate this Agreement, by notice to the
Company, at any time at or prior to Closing Time (i) if there has been, since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, any material adverse change in
the financial condition, earnings, or business affairs of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business; (ii) if there has occurred any material adverse change in the
financial markets in the United States or the international financial markets, any outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof or other calamity or crisis or any change or development involving a prospective change in national or international
political, financial or economic conditions, in each case the effect of which is such as to make it, in the judgment of the Placement Agent, impracticable or inadvisable to market the Securities or to enforce contracts for the sale of the
Securities; (iii) if trading in any securities of the Company has been suspended or materially limited by the Commission or the NASDAQ, or if trading generally on the New York Stock Exchange or in the NASDAQ has been suspended or materially
limited, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices have been required, by any of said exchanges or by such system or by order of the Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. or any
other governmental authority; (iv) a material disruption has occurred in commercial banking or securities or clearance, settlement or trading services in the United States; or (v) if a banking moratorium has been declared by Federal, New
York, Maryland or California authorities. 
 (b) Liabilities. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section,
such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as provided in Section 6 hereof, and provided further that Sections 1, 12, 13 and 18 shall survive such termination and remain in full force and effect.

 SECTION 12. INDEMNIFICATION. (A) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Placement Agent, its officers and
directors, its affiliates, as such term is defined in Rule 405 under the 1933 Act (each, an “Affiliate”), its selling agents and each person, if any, who controls the Placement Agent within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or
Section 20 of the 1934 Act as follows: 

  
 21 

 (i) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense
whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including the Rule 430B Information, if any, or the omission or alleged
omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary
prospectus, the Statutory Prospectus, any Issuer-Represented Free Writing Prospectus, the General Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or any roadshow that does not constitute an Issuer-Represented Free Writing Prospectus (or any amendment or
supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; 

(ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the
aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any Governmental Entity, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue
statement or omission; provided that (subject to Section 12(d) below) any such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company; and 
 (iii) against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by the Placement Agent), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending
against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any Governmental Entity, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent
that any such expense is not paid under (i) or (ii) above; 
 provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any
loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the
Placement Agent expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including the Rule 430B Information, if any, or any preliminary prospectus, the Statutory Prospectus, any Issuer-Represented Free Writing Prospectus, the
General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto). 
 (B) Indemnification of Company,
Directors and Officers. The Placement Agent agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of
Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in subsection (a) of this Section, as incurred, but only with respect to
untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including the Rule 430B Information, if any, or in any preliminary prospectus, the Statutory Prospectus,
any Issuer-Represented Free Writing Prospectus, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Placement Agent
expressly for use therein; provided that the Placement Agent’s liability under this Section 12(B) will not exceed the amount of the placement agent fee actually received by the Placement Agent pursuant to this Agreement, except in the case
of fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence. 
 (C) Actions against Parties; Notification. Each indemnified party
shall give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to each indemnifying party of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such
indemnifying party from any liability hereunder to the extent it is not materially 

  
 22 

 
prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. In the case of parties indemnified
pursuant to Section 12(a) above, counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected by the Placement Agent, and, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 12(b) above, counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected by
the Company. An indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the defense of any such action; provided, however, that counsel to the indemnifying party shall not (except with the consent of the indemnified party) also be counsel to the
indemnified party. In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action
or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or
consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any Governmental Entity, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought
under this Section 12 or Section 13 hereof (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party
from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party. 

(D) Settlement without Consent if Failure to Reimburse. If at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying
party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by Section 12(a)(ii) effected without its written consent if
(i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 30 days prior to such
settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. 
 SECTION 13. CONTRIBUTION. If the indemnification provided for in Section 13 hereof is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of
any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by such indemnified party, as
incurred, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Placement Agent, on the other hand, from the Placement or (ii) if the allocation provided by
clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Placement
Agent, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. 

The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Placement Agent, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to,
among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Placement Agent and the parties’
relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. 
 The
Company and the Placement Agent agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 13 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable
considerations referred to above in this Section 13. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section 13 shall be deemed to include any legal
or other expenses 

  
 23 

 
reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any Governmental Entity, commenced or
threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. 

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 13, the Placement Agent shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of
the amount of the placement agent fee actually received by the Placement Agent pursuant to this Agreement. 
 No person guilty
of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. 

For purposes of this Section 13, each person, if any, who controls the Placement Agent within the meaning of Section 15 of the
1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act and the Placement Agent’s directors, officers, Affiliates and selling agents shall have the same rights to contribution as the Placement Agent, and each director of the Company, each officer of the
Company who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company.

 SECTION 14. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New
York. 
 SECTION 15. JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL; VENUE. Each of the Company and the Placement Agent hereby expressly and
irrevocably (a) submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York in any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby, and (b) waives (i) its right to a trial by jury in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or any course of conduct, course of dealing, statements (whether verbal
or written) or actions of the Placement Agent and for any counterclaim related to any of the foregoing and (ii) any objection which it may have or hereafter may have to the laying of venue of any such litigation brought in any such court
referred to above and any claim that any such litigation has been brought in an inconvenient forum. 
 SECTION 16. ENTIRE
AGREEMENT. This Agreement embodies the entire agreement and understanding between the parties hereto, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, relating to the subject matter hereof. If any provision of this Agreement is determined
to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, such determination will not affect such provision in any other respect or any other provision of this Agreement, which will remain in full force and effect. 

SECTION 17. AMENDMENT/WAIVER. This Agreement may not be amended or otherwise modified or waived except by an instrument in writing signed
by both FIG and the Company. 
 SECTION 18. SURVIVAL The representations, warranties, agreements and covenants contained herein
shall survive the closing of the Placement and delivery of the Securities. 
 SECTION 19. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be
executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same Agreement. 
 SECTION 20. NOTICES. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if mailed or transmitted by any standard form of
telecommunication.
