B. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, (i) Merger Sub 1 will merge with and into the Company (the “First Merger”), so that the Company is the surviving entity (in such capacity, the “Initial Surviving Entity”) in the First Merger, and (ii) as promptly as practicable following the consummation of the First Merger, the Initial Surviving Entity will merge with and into Merger Sub 2 (the “Second Merger” and together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”), so that Merger Sub 2 is the surviving entity (in such capacity, the “Surviving Entity”) in the Second Merger.

C. In furtherance thereof, the respective Boards of Directors of Purchaser and the Company have unanimously approved, adopted and declared advisable the Merger and this Agreement, approved the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and, with respect to the Board of Directors of the Company, has resolved to submit this Agreement to its shareholders for approval and to recommend that its shareholders approve this Agreement.

D. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Purchaser, the Company and the holder of all shares of Series C Perpetual Non-Cumulative Convertible Non-Voting Preferred Stock, no par value, of the Company (“Series C Preferred Stock”) and the holder of those certain warrants to purchase 922,438 shares of Company Common Stock (the “Warrants”) have entered into an agreement (the “Support Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company and such holder have agreed, among other things, to cause all shares of Series C Preferred Stock and the Warrants to be treated as contemplated by this Agreement, including by way of amendment of such Series C Preferred Stock or Warrants as necessary.

E. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, James F. Getz and Brian S. Fetterolf have each entered into an agreement with Purchaser (the “Management Support Agreement”) pursuant to which such persons have agreed, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Management Support Agreement, to vote or cause to be voted any shares of the capital stock of the Company beneficially owned by them in favor of adopting this Agreement.

F. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the parties to this Agreement intend that the Mergers, taken together, shall be treated as a single integrated transaction and together shall constitute a single “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), to which Purchaser and the Company are parties under Section 368(b) of the Code and any comparable provision of state or local law (the “Intended Tax Treatment”).

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, at the First Effective Time, all shares of Company Common Stock that are owned by the Company or Purchaser (in each case, other than shares of Company Common Stock (i) held in brokerage accounts, trust accounts, managed accounts, mutual funds and the like, or otherwise held in a fiduciary or agency capacity, that are beneficially owned by third parties, or (ii) held, directly or indirectly, by the Company or Purchaser in respect of debts previously contracted) shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist and no Purchaser Common Stock or other consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

-3-

1.6 Second Merger . At the Second Effective Time, by virtue of the Second Merger and without any action on the part of Purchaser, Merger Sub 2, the Initial Surviving Entity or the holder of any securities of the foregoing, (i) each share of the common stock, no par value, of the Initial Surviving Entity issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time, shall be cancelled and retired and cease to exist, and (ii) each limited liability company interest of Merger Sub 2 (the “Merger Sub 2 LLC Interests”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time, shall be unaffected by the Second Merger and shall remain outstanding as a limited liability company interest in the Surviving Entity. At and after the Second Effective Time, each share of Purchaser Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time shall remain an issued and outstanding share of common stock of Purchaser and shall not be affected by the Second Merger.

(b) At the First Effective Time, by virtue of the First Merger and without any action on the part of Purchaser, the Company or the holder of any securities of Purchaser or the Company, each share of 6.375% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Series B Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, no par value, of the Company (“Company Series B Preferred Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time shall be converted into the right to receive a share of a newly created series of Purchaser Preferred Stock having powers, preferences and special rights that are not materially less favorable than the Company Series B Preferred Stock (all shares of such newly created series, collectively, the “Purchaser Series B Preferred Stock” and, together with the Purchaser Series A Preferred Stock, the “New Purchaser Preferred Stock”) and, upon such conversion, the Company Series B Preferred Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist as of the First Effective Time.

(c) At the First Effective Time, by virtue of the First Merger and without any action on the part of Purchaser, the Company or the holder of any securities of Purchaser or the Company, each share of Series C Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time shall be converted into the right to receive $30.00 in cash multiplied by the number of non-voting common stock, no par value, of the Company (“Non-Voting Common Stock”) such share of Series C Preferred Stock is convertible into pursuant to the terms of the certificate of designations with respect to the Series C Preferred Stock, as amended as contemplated in the Support Agreement. Upon such conversion, the Company Series C Preferred Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist as of the First Effective Time.

(d) At the First Effective Time and as contemplated by the Support Agreement, the Warrants shall be automatically converted into the right to receive a cash payment equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Warrants, multiplied by (ii) $30.00 minus the applicable exercise price per share of Company Common Stock subject to such Warrants. Upon such conversion, the Warrants shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist as of the First Effective Time.

1.8 Treatment of Company Equity Awards.

(a) At the First Effective Time, each outstanding option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Company Option”), which have all vested prior to the date of this Agreement, shall, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, cease to represent an option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock and shall be converted into right to receive a cash payment equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option immediately prior to the First Effective Time and (i) (A) the amount of the Cash Consideration, plus (B) the Exchange Ratio multiplied by the Average Purchaser Share Price (this clause (i), the “Option Payout Amount”), minus (ii) the exercise price per share of the Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option. At the First Effective Time, each Company Option that has an exercise price greater than or equal to the Option Payout Amount shall cease to be outstanding, be cancelled and cease to exist and the holder of any such Company Option shall not be entitled to payment of any consideration therefor. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Average Purchaser Share Price” means the average of the per share volume weighted average trading prices of Purchaser Common Stock on the NYSE (as reported in the Eastern Edition of The Wall Street Journal, or if not reported thereby, another authoritative source) for ten (10) trading days ending on the third (3^rd) business day prior to the Closing.

(b) At the First Effective Time, each outstanding unvested restricted stock award (a “Company Restricted Share”), except any Director Restricted Share, shall, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, cease to represent a restricted share of Company Common Stock and shall be converted into a number of restricted shares of (or, if determined by Purchaser in consultation with the Company and in compliance with applicable laws and the terms of the Company Benefits Plans pursuant to which Company Restricted Shares were issued, a number of restricted stock units denominated in shares of) Purchaser Common Stock (each, a “Purchaser Restricted Share”) equal to the Equity Award Conversion Amount (rounded down to the nearest whole number). Except as specifically provided above, at and following the First Effective Time, each such Purchaser Restricted Share shall continue to be governed by the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the applicable Company Restricted Share immediately prior to the First Effective Time. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Equity Award Conversion Amount” means (i) the Exchange Ratio plus (ii) the quotient of (A) the Cash Consideration divided by (B) the Average Purchaser Share Price.

(c) At or prior to the First Effective Time, the Company, the Board of Directors of the Company and the Company Compensation Committee, as applicable, shall adopt any resolutions and take any actions that are necessary or appropriate to effectuate the provisions of this Section 1.8.

(d) Purchaser shall take all corporate actions that are necessary for the treatment of Company Options and Company Restricted Shares (together, the “Company Equity Awards”) pursuant to Sections 1.8(a) and 1.8(a), including the reservation, issuance and listing of Purchaser Common Stock as necessary to effect the transactions contemplated by this Section 1.8.

1.10 Tax Treatment. It is intended that the Mergers, taken together, shall qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment and this Agreement is intended to be and is adopted as a “plan of reorganization” for the purposes of Sections 354, 361 and 368 of the Code and Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a).

ARTICLE II

EXCHANGE OF SHARES

2.1 Purchaser to Make Consideration Available. At or prior to the First Effective Time, Purchaser shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with an exchange agent designated by Purchaser and reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Exchange Agent”), for exchange in accordance with this Article II for the benefit of the holders of Old Certificates (which for purposes of this Article II shall be deemed to include certificates or book-entry account statements representing shares of Company Preferred Stock), (i) certificates or, at Purchaser’s option, evidence in book-entry form, representing shares of Purchaser Common Stock or New Purchaser Preferred Stock to be issued pursuant to Section 1.5 and Section 1.7 (collectively, referred to herein as “New Certificates”) and (ii) cash in an amount sufficient to pay (a) the aggregate Cash Consideration and (b) cash in lieu of any fractional shares to be paid pursuant to Section 2.2(e) (such cash and New Certificates, together with any dividends or distributions with respect to the Stock Consideration payable in accordance with Section 2.2(b), being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”).

2.2 Exchange of Shares.

(a) As promptly as practicable after the First Effective Time, but in no event later than five (5) business days thereafter, Purchaser shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of one or more Old Certificates representing shares of Company Common Stock or Company Preferred Stock immediately prior to the First Effective Time that have been converted at the First Effective Time into the right to receive Purchaser Common Stock or New Purchaser Preferred Stock pursuant to Article I, a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Old Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Old Certificates to the Exchange Agent) and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Old Certificates in exchange for New Certificates representing the number of whole shares of Purchaser Common Stock, the Cash Consideration and any cash in lieu of fractional shares or shares of New Purchaser Preferred Stock, as applicable, which the shares of Company Common Stock or Company Preferred Stock represented by such Old Certificate or Old Certificates shall have been converted into the right to receive pursuant to this Agreement as well as any dividends or distributions to be paid pursuant to Section 2.2(b). Upon proper surrender of an Old Certificate or Old Certificates for exchange and cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with such properly completed letter of transmittal, duly executed, the holder of such Old Certificate or Old Certificates shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, as applicable, (i) a New Certificate representing that number of whole shares of Purchaser Common Stock to which such holder of Company Common Stock shall have become entitled pursuant to the provisions of Article I, (ii) a check representing the amount of (x) the Cash Consideration which such holder has the right to receive in respect of the Old Certificate or Old Certificates

-6-

surrendered pursuant to the provisions of this Article II, (y) any cash in lieu of fractional shares which such holder has the right to receive in respect of the Old Certificate or Old Certificates surrendered pursuant to the provisions of this Article II, and (z) any dividends or distributions which the holder thereof has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.2(b) or (iii) New Certificate(s) representing the number of shares of New Purchaser Preferred Stock to which such holder of Company Preferred Stock shall have become entitled pursuant to the provisions of Article I, and the Old Certificate or Old Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued on any cash in lieu of fractional shares or dividends or distributions payable to holders of Old Certificates. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.2, each Old Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the First Effective Time to represent only the right to receive, upon surrender, the number of whole shares of Purchaser Common Stock or shares of New Purchaser Preferred Stock which the shares of Company Common Stock or Company Preferred Stock, as applicable, represented by such Old Certificate have been converted into the right to receive, the applicable Cash Consideration and any cash in lieu of fractional shares or in respect of dividends or distributions as contemplated by this Section 2.2.

(b) No dividends or other distributions declared with respect to Purchaser Common Stock or New Purchaser Preferred Stock shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Old Certificate until the holder thereof shall surrender such Old Certificate in accordance with this Article II. After the surrender of an Old Certificate in accordance with this Article II, the record holder thereof shall be entitled to receive any such dividends or other distributions, without any interest thereon, which theretofore had become payable with respect to the whole shares of Purchaser Common Stock or shares of New Purchaser Preferred Stock that the shares of Company Common Stock or Company Preferred Stock, as applicable, represented by such Old Certificate have been converted into the right to receive.

(c) If any New Certificate representing shares of Purchaser Common Stock or New Purchaser Preferred Stock is to be issued in a name other than that in which the Old Certificate or Old Certificates surrendered in exchange therefor is or are registered, it shall be a condition of the issuance thereof that the Old Certificate or Old Certificates so surrendered shall be properly endorsed (or accompanied by an appropriate instrument of transfer) and otherwise in proper form for transfer, and that the person requesting such exchange shall pay to the Exchange Agent in advance any transfer or other similar Taxes required by reason of the issuance of a New Certificate representing shares of Purchaser Common Stock or New Purchaser Preferred Stock in any name other than that of the registered holder of the Old Certificate or Old Certificates surrendered, or required for any other reason, or shall establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(d) After the First Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of the Company of the shares of Company Common Stock or Company Preferred Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time. If, after the First Effective Time, Old Certificates representing such shares are presented for transfer to the Exchange Agent, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for New Certificates representing shares of Purchaser Common Stock or New Purchaser Preferred Stock, the Cash Consideration and cash in lieu of fractional shares and dividends or distributions as contemplated by this Section 2.2, as applicable.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no New Certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Purchaser Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Old Certificates, no dividend or distribution with respect to Purchaser Common Stock shall be payable on or with respect to any fractional share, and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a shareholder of Purchaser. In lieu of the issuance of any such fractional share, Purchaser shall pay to each former holder of Company Common Stock who otherwise would be entitled to receive such fractional share an amount in cash (rounded to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying (i) the average of the closing-sale prices of Purchaser Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) as reported by The Wall Street Journal for the consecutive period of five (5) full trading days ending on the day preceding the Closing Date by (ii) the fraction of a share (after taking into account all shares of Company Common Stock held by such holder immediately prior to the First Effective Time and rounded to the nearest one-thousandth when

-7-

expressed in decimal form) of Purchaser Common Stock which such holder would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to Section 1.5. The parties acknowledge that payment of such cash consideration in lieu of issuing fractional shares is not separately bargained-for consideration, but merely represents a mechanical rounding off for purposes of avoiding the expense and inconvenience that would otherwise be caused by the issuance of fractional shares.

(f) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the shareholders of the Company for twelve (12) months after the First Effective Time shall be paid to the Surviving Entity. Any former holders of Company Common Stock or Company Preferred Stock who have not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Entity for payment of the shares of Purchaser Common Stock, the Cash Consideration and cash in lieu of any fractional shares and any unpaid dividends and distributions on the Purchaser Common Stock deliverable in respect of each former share of Company Common Stock such holder holds as determined pursuant to this Agreement, or the shares of New Purchaser Preferred Stock and any unpaid dividends and distributions on the New Purchaser Preferred Stock deliverable in respect of each former share of Company Preferred Stock such holder holds as determined pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Purchaser, Merger Subs, the Company, the Surviving Entity, the Exchange Agent or any other person shall be liable to any former holder of shares of Company Common Stock or Company Preferred Stock for any amount delivered in good faith to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by former holders of shares of Company Common Stock or shares of Company Preferred Stock immediately prior to the time at which such amounts would otherwise escheat to, or become property of, any Governmental Entity shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, become the property of the Surviving Entity, free and clear of any claims or interest of any such holders or their successors, assigns or personal representatives previously entitled thereto.

(g) Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause the Surviving Entity or the Exchange Agent to deduct and withhold, from any Cash Consideration, cash in lieu of fractional shares of Purchaser Common Stock, cash dividends or distributions payable pursuant to this Section 2.2 or any other amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Company Common Stock, Company Preferred Stock or Company Equity Awards, such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Purchaser, the Surviving Entity or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be, and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Entity, the withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Company Common Stock, Company Preferred Stock or Company Equity Awards in respect of which the deduction and withholding was made by Purchaser or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be.

(h) In the event any Old Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Old Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Purchaser or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such person of a bond in such amount as Purchaser or the Exchange Agent may determine is reasonably necessary as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Old Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Old Certificate the shares of Purchaser Common Stock, the Cash Consideration and any cash in lieu of fractional shares, or the shares of New Purchaser Preferred Stock, as applicable, and dividends or distributions, deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement.

Except as would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to be material to the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has taken any action to take corrective action or make a filing under any voluntary correction program of the IRS, Department of Labor or any other Governmental Entity with respect to any Company Benefit Plan. The IRS has issued a favorable determination letter or opinion letter with respect to each Company Benefit Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code (the “Company Qualified Plans”) and the related trust, which letter or opinion has not been revoked (nor has revocation been threatened), and, to the knowledge of the Company, there are no existing circumstances and no events have occurred that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the qualified status of any Company Qualified Plan or the related trust.

(f) Except as would not result in any material liability to the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, no Company Benefit Plan provides for any post-employment or post-retirement health or medical or life insurance benefits for retired, former or current employees or beneficiaries or dependents thereof, except as required by Section 4980B of the Code.

(h) There are no pending or threatened claims (other than claims for benefits in the ordinary course), lawsuits or arbitrations which have been asserted or instituted, and, to the knowledge of the Company, no set of circumstances exists which may reasonably give rise to a claim or lawsuit, against the Company Benefit Plans, any fiduciaries thereof with respect to their duties to the Company Benefit Plans or the assets of any of the trusts under any of the Company Benefit Plans that would reasonably be expected to result in any material liability of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no amount paid or payable (whether in cash, in property, or in the form of benefits) to any employee, officer, director or other service provider of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (either solely as a result thereof or as a result of such transactions in conjunction with any other event) will be an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code.

Purchaser and the Company, as applicable, shall use reasonable best efforts to make such filings within forty-five (45) days of the date of this Agreement. Each of Purchaser and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the S-4 declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after such filings and the Company shall as promptly as practicable thereafter mail or deliver the Proxy Statement to its shareholders. Purchaser and the Company shall use their reasonable best efforts to keep the S-4 effective for so long as necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Purchaser shall also use its reasonable best efforts to obtain all necessary state securities law or “Blue Sky” permits and approvals required to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the Company shall furnish all information concerning the Company, the holders of Company Common Stock and the holders of Company Preferred Stock as may be reasonably requested in connection with any such action.

(b) The parties hereto shall cooperate with each other and use their reasonable best efforts to promptly prepare and file all necessary documentation, to effect all applications, notices, petitions and filings (and in the case of the applications, notices, petitions and filings in respect of the Requisite Regulatory Approvals, use their reasonable best efforts to make such filings within forty-five (45) days of the date of this Agreement), to obtain as promptly as practicable all permits, consents, waivers, approvals and authorizations of all third parties, Regulatory Agencies and Governmental Entities which are necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Mergers), and to comply with the terms and conditions of all such permits, consents, waivers, approvals and authorizations of all such Regulatory Agencies and Governmental Entities. The Company and Purchaser shall each use, and shall each cause their applicable Subsidiaries to use, reasonable best efforts to obtain each Requisite Regulatory Approval (without the imposition, inclusion or attachment of a Burdensome Regulatory Condition) as promptly as reasonably practicable, and, for clarity, the foregoing obligation will continue until the earlier of the Closing or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article VIII. Purchaser and the Company shall have the right to review in advance, and, to the extent practicable, each will consult the other on, in each case, subject to applicable laws relating to the exchange

of information, all the information relating to the Company or Purchaser, as the case may be, and any of their respective Subsidiaries, which appears in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any third party or any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In exercising the foregoing right, each of the parties hereto shall act reasonably and as promptly as practicable. The parties hereto agree that they will consult with each other with respect to obtaining all permits, consents, waivers, approvals and authorizations of all third parties and Governmental Entities necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and each party will keep the other apprised on a reasonably current basis of the status of matters relating to completion of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, and each party shall consult with the other in advance of any meeting or conference with any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Entity, give the other party and/or its counsel the opportunity to attend and participate in such meetings and conferences, in each case subject to applicable law; and provided, that each party shall promptly advise the other party with respect to substantive matters that are addressed in any meeting or conference with any Governmental Entity which the other party does not attend or participate in connection with or affecting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Entity and subject to applicable law and Section 9.14. As used in this Agreement, the term “Requisite Regulatory Approvals” shall mean all regulatory authorizations, consents, waivers, orders and approvals (and the expiration or termination of all statutory waiting periods in respect thereof) (i) from the Federal Reserve Board (in respect of the Mergers), the Pennsylvania Department and under the HSR Act or (ii) referred to in Section 3.4 or Section 4.4 that are necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Mergers).

(c) In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each party shall use its reasonable best efforts to avoid the entry of, or to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that would restrain, prevent or delay the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (x) in connection with obtaining the foregoing permits, consents, waivers, approvals and authorizations of Governmental Entities, none of Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries will be required to, and none of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may (without the prior written consent of Purchaser in Purchaser’s sole discretion), take any action, or commit to take any action, or agree to any condition or restriction that would reasonably be expected to (i) have a material adverse effect on the Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries (including, after giving effect to the Merger, the Surviving Entity or any of its Subsidiaries), and measured on a scale relative to the size of the Company, (ii) result in any adverse change or effect on, or restrict or limit, Purchaser’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ ability to conduct any activities or operations (including any (A) divestiture requirements or restrictions on Purchaser’s or any of its Subsidiary’s current or future business or (B) requirement to enter into or assume, directly or indirectly, any enforcement action or any other agreement with any Governmental Entity), (iii) result in Purchaser’s inability to realize to a material extent the expected benefits to it of the transactions contemplated herein, or (iv) result in a loss, diminution or suspension of Purchaser’s ability to exercise any of the powers of a financial holding company; and (y) the consummation of the Mergers or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall not otherwise result in any of the effects described in (i)-(iv) (each of the results or effects described above, a “Burdensome Regulatory Condition”).

(d) Purchaser and the Company shall, upon request, furnish each other with all information concerning themselves, their Subsidiaries, directors, officers and shareholders and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with the Proxy Statement, the S-4 or any other statement, filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of Purchaser, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries to any Governmental Entity in connection with the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(e) Purchaser and the Company shall promptly advise each other upon receiving any communication from any Governmental Entity whose permit, consent, waiver, approval or authorization is required for consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement that causes such party to believe that there is a reasonable likelihood that any Requisite Regulatory Approval will not be obtained, or that the receipt of any such permit, consent, waiver, approval or authorization will be materially delayed.

-43-

(f) Purchaser shall (i) be responsible for all filing and application fees associated with obtaining all consents, approvals, clearances and authorizations pursuant to this Section 6.1, including the Requisite Regulatory Approvals, and (ii) from time to time, upon reasonable request by the Company, reimburse the Company and each of its Subsidiaries for reasonable, documented out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses (excluding any fees, costs and expenses of counsel, accountants and other advisors) incurred by any of them in connection with the filing of any notices, reports and other filings required pursuant to this Section 6.1, or obtaining such consents, approvals, clearances and authorizations required pursuant to this Section 6.1, including the Requisite Regulatory Approvals.

6.2 Access to Information; Confidentiality.

(a) Upon reasonable notice and subject to applicable laws (including Pandemic Measures), the Company, for the purposes of allowing Purchaser to verify the representations and warranties of the Company and preparing for the Mergers and the other matters contemplated by this Agreement, shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, upon reasonable advance written notice by Purchaser (which may include email and not any formal notice under this Agreement), afford to the officers, employees, accountants, counsel, advisors and other representatives of Purchaser, access, during normal business hours during the period prior to the First Effective Time, to all its properties, books, contracts, commitments, personnel, information technology systems and records as Purchaser may reasonably request, and both the Company and Purchaser shall cooperate with the other party in preparing to execute after the First Effective Time the conversion or consolidation of systems and business operations generally, and, during such period, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, make available to Purchaser (i) a copy of each report, schedule, registration statement or proxy statement and other document filed or received by it during such period pursuant to the requirements of federal securities laws or federal or state banking laws (other than reports or documents that the Company, is not permitted to disclose in accordance with Section 9.14 or otherwise under applicable law), and (ii) all other information concerning its business, properties and personnel as such party may reasonably request. Neither Purchaser nor the Company nor any of their respective Subsidiaries shall be required to provide access to or to disclose information where such access or disclosure would violate or prejudice the rights of Purchaser’s or the Company’s, as the case may be, customers, jeopardize the attorney-client privilege of the institution in possession or control of such information (after giving due consideration to the existence of any common interest, joint defense or similar agreement between the parties) or contravene any law (including any Pandemic Measures), rule, regulation, order, judgment, decree, fiduciary duty or binding agreement entered into prior to the date of this Agreement, or in light of any Pandemic, take any action that could reasonably be expected to jeopardize the health and safety of any officer or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. The parties hereto will use their reasonable best efforts to make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements under circumstances in which the restrictions of the preceding sentence apply. Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to minimize material interference or disruption to the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ businesses or operations arising as a result of being provided any access contemplated by this Section 6.2(a). All requests for information or access made pursuant to this Section 6.2(a) shall be directed to the executive officer or other person designated by the Company.

(b) Each of Purchaser and the Company shall hold all information furnished by or on behalf of the other party or any of such party’s Subsidiaries or representatives pursuant to Section 6.2(a) in confidence to the extent required by, and in accordance with, the provisions of the confidentiality agreement, dated June 2, 2021, between Purchaser and the Company (the “Confidentiality Agreement”).

(c) No investigation by either of the parties or their respective representatives shall affect or be deemed to modify or waive the representations and warranties of the other set forth in this Agreement.

6.3 Non-Control. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall give either party, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the operations of the other party prior to the First Effective Time. Prior to the First Effective Time, each party shall exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, complete control and supervision over its and its Subsidiaries’ respective operations.

-44-

6.4 Shareholders’ Approvals.

(a) The Company shall cause a meeting of its shareholders (the “Company Meeting”) to be duly called and held as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than 40 days) after the S-4 is declared effective, for the purpose of obtaining (a) the Requisite Company Vote required in connection with this Agreement and the First Merger, (b) the affirmative vote (on an advisory, non-binding basis) of the shareholders of the Company on the compensation that may be paid or become payable to the Company’s named executive officers that is based on or otherwise related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (c) if so desired and agreed by Purchaser, a vote upon other matters of the type customarily brought before a meeting of shareholders in connection with the approval of a merger agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby. Subject to Section 6.4(b), the Company and its Board of Directors shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain from the shareholders of the Company the Requisite Company Vote, including by communicating to the shareholders of the Company its recommendation (and including such recommendation in the Proxy Statement) that the shareholders of the Company approve this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Company Board Recommendation”), and the Company and its Board of Directors shall not (i) withhold, withdraw, modify or qualify in a manner adverse to Purchaser the Company Board Recommendation, (ii) fail to make the Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement, (iii) adopt, approve, recommend or endorse an Acquisition Proposal, or publicly announce an intention to adopt, approve, recommend or endorse an Acquisition Proposal, (iv) fail to publicly and without qualification recommend against any Acquisition Proposal or reaffirm the Company Board Recommendation within ten (10) business days (or such fewer number of days as remains prior to the Company Meeting) after an Acquisition Proposal is made public or any request by Purchaser to do so or (v) publicly propose to do any of the foregoing (any of the foregoing actions described in clauses (i) through (v) a “Recommendation Change”) or (vi) execute or enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, merger agreement, acquisition agreement or other similar agreement (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement) providing for an Acquisition Proposal.

(b) Subject to Section 8.1 and Section 8.2, prior to the receipt of the Requisite Company Vote, the Board of Directors of the Company may make a Recommendation Change, in which event the Board of Directors of the Company may communicate the basis for its Recommendation Change to its shareholders in the Proxy Statement or an appropriate amendment or supplement thereto or otherwise (although the resolutions approving this Agreement as of the date hereof may not be rescinded or amended), if (i)(A) the Board of Directors of the Company has received after the date hereof a bona fide Acquisition Proposal which did not result from a breach of Section 6.13(a), which it believes in good faith, after consultation with its outside counsel and its financial advisors, constitutes a Superior Proposal or (B) an Intervening Event has occurred, and (ii) the Board of Directors of the Company, after consultation with its outside counsel and its financial advisors, determines in good faith that failure to take such actions would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law, in each case, if, but only if, (1) the Company has complied in all material respects with Section 6.13(a), (2) the Company delivers to Purchaser at least four (4) business days’ prior written notice of its intention to take such action, and furnishes to Purchaser a reasonable description of the events or circumstances giving rise to its determination to take such action (including, in the event such action is taken in response to an Acquisition Proposal, the identity of the person making such Acquisition Proposal, a copy of the proposed transaction agreement(s) and all other documents relating to such Acquisition Proposal), (3) prior to taking such action, the Company negotiates, and causes its financial, legal, and other advisors to negotiate, in good faith with Purchaser, during such four (4) business day period following the Company’s delivery of the notice referred to in sub-clause (2) above (to the extent Purchaser desires to so negotiate) any revision to the terms of this Agreement that Purchaser desires to propose in writing, and (4) at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the final day of such four (4) business day period, the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after taking into account to all of the adjustments or revisions (if any) which may be offered by Purchaser in writing pursuant to sub-clause (3) above, that, in the case of actions described in clause (i)(A) above, such Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal and, in case of actions described in either clause (i)(A) or clause (i)(B) above, it would nevertheless be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law to make or continue to make the Company Board Recommendation (it being agreed that, if such actions are being taken in response to an Acquisition Proposal, in

-45-

the event that, following delivery of the notice referred to in sub-clause (2) above, there is any material revision to the terms of such Acquisition Proposal, including any revision in price or other improvement in economic terms, the four (4) business day period during which the parties agree to negotiate in good faith shall be extended, if applicable, to ensure that at least two (2) business days remain to negotiate subsequent to the time the Company notifies Purchaser of any such material revision (it being understood that there may be multiple extensions)). As used in this Agreement, the term “Intervening Event” means any material event, change, effect, development, condition, circumstance or occurrence arising after the date of this Agreement that (I) materially improves or would be reasonably likely to materially improve the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, in a manner that is disproportionate from such improvements to the business, financial condition or results of operations of Purchaser and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, (II) was not known by, nor reasonably foreseeable to, the Board of Directors of the Company as of the date of this Agreement and (III) does not relate to any Acquisition Proposal or the end or reduction of the Pandemic; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, none of the following shall be considered or taken into account in determining whether an Intervening Event has occurred: (x) changes in the trading price or trading volume of Company Common Stock or Company Preferred Stock (it being understood that the underlying cause of such change may be taken into account to the extent not otherwise excluded by this definition) or other developments or changes in the banking industry or in the credit, debt, financial or capital markets or in interest or exchange rates, (y) the fact alone that the Company meets or exceeds any internal or published forecasts or projections for any period (it being understood that the underlying cause of such over-performance by the Company may be taken into account to the extent not otherwise excluded by this definition) or (z) any event, change, effect, development, condition, circumstance or occurrence resulting from a breach of this Agreement by the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries.

(c) Notwithstanding any Recommendation Change, unless this Agreement has been terminated, the Company Meeting shall be convened and this Agreement shall be submitted to the shareholders of the Company at such meeting for the purpose of the shareholders of the Company considering and voting on approval of this Agreement and any other matters required to be approved by the shareholders of the Company in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Additionally, unless this Agreement has been terminated, the Company shall not submit to or for a vote of its shareholders any Acquisition Proposal.

(d) The Company shall adjourn or postpone the Company Meeting if (i) as of the date of such meeting there are insufficient shares of Company Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute the quorum necessary to conduct the business of such meeting, (ii) as of the date of such meeting the Company has not received proxies representing a sufficient number of shares necessary for the approval of this Agreement by the shareholders of the Company, or (iii) required by applicable law in order to ensure that any required supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement the Company was required to provide to its shareholders by applicable law is provided to the shareholders of the Company a reasonable amount of time prior to such meeting; provided that, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii), without the prior written consent of Purchaser, the Company shall not adjourn or postpone the Company Meeting for more than five (5) business days in the case of any individual adjournment or postponement or more than twenty (20) business days in the aggregate and (B) the Company shall continue to use reasonable best efforts to solicit proxies from its shareholders in order to obtain the Requisite Company Vote (or, if a Recommendation Change has occurred, to establish a quorum at the Company Meeting).

6.5 Legal Conditions to Mergers. Subject in all respects to Section 6.1, each of Purchaser and the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use their reasonable best efforts (a) to take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary, proper or advisable to comply promptly with all legal requirements that may be imposed on such party or its Subsidiaries with respect to the Mergers and, subject to the conditions set forth in Article VII, to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (b) to obtain (and to cooperate with the other party to obtain) any material consent, authorization, order or approval of, or any exemption by, any Governmental Entity and any other third party that is required to be obtained by the Company or Purchaser or any of their respective Subsidiaries in connection with the Mergers, and the other transactions contemplated by

-46-

this Agreement, and (c) to obtain the tax opinions referenced in Section 7.2(c) and Section 7.3(c), including by executing and delivering representations contained in certificates of officers of Purchaser and the Company reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Purchaser’s and the Company’s counsel.

6.6 Stock Exchange Listing.

(a) Purchaser shall cause the shares of Purchaser Common Stock and the New Purchaser Preferred Stock to be issued in the First Merger to be approved for listing on the NYSE, subject to official notice of issuance, prior to the First Effective Time.

(b) Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall cooperate with Purchaser and use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on its part under applicable laws and rules and policies of the NASDAQ to enable the delisting by the Surviving Entity of Company Common Stock, Company Series A Preferred Stock and Company Series B Preferred Stock from the NASDAQ and the deregistration of Company Common Stock, Company Series A Preferred Stock and Company Series B Preferred Stock under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable after the First Effective Time.

6.7 Employee Matters.

(a) From the Second Effective Time through December 31, 2022 (the “Continuation Period”), Purchaser shall provide to employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries who at the Second Effective Time become employees of the Surviving Entity or its Subsidiaries (the “Continuing Employees”) base salary or base wage, and target annual cash bonus and equity incentive opportunities, that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to those provided by the Company and its Subsidiaries to such employees immediately prior to the First Effective Time. From the Second Effective Time through the end of the calendar year in which the Second Effective Time occurs, Purchaser shall provide to Continuing Employees employee benefits (other than the Company 401(k) Plan) pursuant to the Company Benefit Plans, including base salary or base wage, cash and equity incentive compensation opportunities and welfare benefit plans and paid time off. Following the end of the calendar year in which the Second Effective Time occurs, Purchaser shall provide to Continuing Employees employee benefits that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to those that are generally made available to similarly situated employees of Purchaser and its Subsidiaries.

(b) During the Continuation Period, if Purchaser or any of its affiliates terminates the employment of any Continuing Employee without cause, Purchaser shall pay or shall cause an affiliate to pay to such Continuing Employee cash severance in an amount calculated as indicated on Section 6.7(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule.

(c) Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause any pre-existing conditions or limitations and eligibility waiting periods under any group health benefits of Purchaser or its affiliates to be waived with respect to the Continuing Employees and their eligible dependents, (ii) give each Continuing Employee credit for the plan year in which the First Effective Time occurs towards applicable deductibles and annual out-of-pocket limits for medical expenses incurred prior to the First Effective Time for which payment has been made and (iii) give each Continuing Employee service credit for such Continuing Employee’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries for purposes of vesting, benefit accrual and eligibility to participate under each applicable Purchaser Benefit Plan, as if such service had been performed with Purchaser, except for benefit accrual under defined benefit pension plans, for purposes of qualifying for subsidized early retirement benefits or to the extent it would result in a duplication of benefits. If requested by Purchaser in writing delivered to the Company not less than twenty (20) business days before the Closing Date, the Board of Directors of the Company (or the appropriate committee or officers thereof) shall adopt resolutions and take such corporate action as is necessary or appropriate to terminate the Company 401(k) Plan (the “Company 401(k) Plan”), effective as of the day prior to the Closing Date and contingent upon the occurrence of the First Effective

-47-

Time. If Purchaser requests that the Company 401(k) Plan be terminated, (i) the Company shall provide Purchaser with evidence that such plan has been terminated (the form and substance of which shall be subject to reasonable review and comment by Purchaser) not later than two (2) days immediately preceding the Closing Date, and (ii) the Continuing Employees shall be eligible to participate, effective as of the First Effective Time, in a 401(k) plan sponsored or maintained by Purchaser, the Surviving Entity or one of their Subsidiaries (the “Purchaser 401(k) Plan”), it being agreed that there shall be no gap in participation in a tax-qualified defined contribution plan. Purchaser and the Company shall take any and all actions as may be required, including amendments to the Company 401(k) Plan and/or the Purchaser 401(k) Plan, to permit the Continuing Employees to make rollover contributions to the Purchaser 401(k) Plan of “eligible rollover distributions” (within the meaning of Section 401(a)(31) of the Code) in the form of cash, notes (in the case of loans), Purchaser Common Stock or a combination thereof in an amount equal to the full account balance distributed to such employee from the Company 401(k) Plan. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Purchaser Benefit Plans” means all employee benefit plans (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA), whether or not subject to ERISA, and all equity, bonus or incentive, deferred compensation, retiree medical or life insurance, supplemental retirement, severance, termination, change in control, retention, employment, welfare, insurance, medical, fringe or other benefit plans, programs, agreements, contracts, policies, arrangements or remuneration of any kind with respect to which the Purchaser or any Subsidiary or any trade or business of the Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries, whether or not incorporated, all of which together with the Purchaser would, at the relevant time, be deemed a “single employer” within the meaning of Section 4001 of ERISA (a “Purchaser ERISA Affiliate”), is a party or has any current or future obligation or that are maintained, contributed to or sponsored by the Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries or any Purchaser ERISA Affiliate for the benefit of any current or former employee, officer, director or independent contractor of the Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries or any Purchaser ERISA Affiliate, excluding, in each case, any Multiemployer Plan.

(d) As of the date hereof, Purchaser does not intend to discharge or terminate any employee or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or cause any such employee or officer to be discharged or terminated, following the Closing. Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon any employee, officer, director or consultant of Purchaser or the Company or any of their Subsidiaries or affiliates any right to continue in the employ or service of the Surviving Entity, the Company, Purchaser or any Subsidiary or affiliate thereof, or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Surviving Entity, the Company, Purchaser or any Subsidiary or affiliate thereof to discharge or terminate the services of any employee, officer, director or consultant of Purchaser or the Company or any of their Subsidiaries or affiliates at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to (i) establish, amend, or modify any Company Benefit Plan or Purchaser Benefit Plan or any other benefit or employment plan, program, agreement or arrangement, or (ii) alter or limit the ability of the Surviving Entity or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates to amend, modify or terminate any particular Company Benefit Plan or Purchaser Benefit Plan or any other benefit or employment plan, program, agreement or arrangement after the First Effective Time. Without limiting the generality of Section 9.11, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any person, including any current or former employee, officer, director or consultant of Purchaser or the Company or any of their Subsidiaries or affiliates, any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

6.8 Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance.

(a) From and after the First Effective Time, the Surviving Entity shall indemnify and hold harmless and shall advance expenses as incurred, in each case, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company Articles, the Company Bylaws and the governing or organizational documents of any Company Subsidiary, each present and former director, officer or employee of the Company and its Subsidiaries (in each case, when acting in such capacity) (collectively, the “Company Indemnified Parties”) against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any threatened or actual claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, whether arising before or after the First Effective Time, arising out of, or pertaining to, the fact that

-48-

such person is or was a director, officer or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and pertaining to matters, acts or omissions existing or occurring at or prior to the First Effective Time, including matters, acts or omissions occurring in connection with the approval of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, that in the case of advancement of expenses, any Company Indemnified Party to whom expenses are advanced provides a customary undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such Company Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification. The Surviving Entity shall reasonably cooperate with the Company Indemnified Parties, and the Company Indemnified Parties shall reasonably cooperate with the Surviving Entity, in the defense of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation.

(b) For a period of six (6) years after the First Effective Time, the Surviving Entity shall cause to be maintained in effect the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company (provided, that the Surviving Entity may substitute therefor policies with a substantially comparable insurer of at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions that are no less advantageous to the insured) with respect to claims against the present and former officers and directors of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries arising from facts or events which occurred at or before the First Effective Time (including the approval of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement); provided, however, that the Surviving Entity shall not be obligated to expend, on an annual basis, an amount in excess of three hundred percent (300%) of the current annual premium paid as of the date hereof by the Company for such insurance (the “Premium Cap”), and if such premiums for such insurance would at any time exceed the Premium Cap, then the Surviving Entity shall cause to be maintained policies of insurance which, in the Surviving Entity’s good faith determination, provide the maximum coverage available at an annual premium equal to the Premium Cap. In lieu of the foregoing, Purchaser or the Company, in consultation with Purchaser, may (and at the request of Purchaser, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to) obtain, at or prior to the First Effective Time, a six (6)-year “tail” policy under the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ insurance policy providing equivalent coverage to that described in the preceding sentence if and to the extent that the same may be obtained for an amount that, in the aggregate, does not exceed three hundred percent (300%) of the current annual premium paid as of the date hereof by the Company for its existing directors’ and officers’ insurance policy.

(c) The obligations of the Surviving Entity, Purchaser or the Company under this Section 6.8 shall not be terminated or modified after the First Effective Time in a manner so as to adversely affect any Company Indemnified Party or any other person entitled to the benefit of this Section 6.8 without the prior written consent of the affected Company Indemnified Party or affected person.

(d) The provisions of this Section 6.8 shall survive the First Effective Time and are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Company Indemnified Party and his or her heirs and representatives. If the Surviving Entity or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other person and is not the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its assets or deposits to any other person or engages in any similar transaction, then in each such case, the Surviving Entity will cause proper provision to be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Entity will expressly assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.8.

6.9 Additional Agreements. In case at any time after the First Effective Time any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement (including any merger between a Subsidiary of Purchaser, on the one hand, and a Subsidiary of the Company, on the other hand) or to vest the Initial Surviving Entity and the Surviving Entity with full title to all properties, assets, rights, approvals, immunities and franchises of any of the parties to the Mergers, the proper officers and directors of each party to this Agreement and their respective Subsidiaries shall take all such necessary action as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser.

6.10 Advice of Changes. Purchaser and the Company shall each promptly advise the other party of any effect, change, event, circumstance, condition, occurrence or development (i) that has had or would reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on such first party, or (ii) that such first party believes would or would reasonably be expected to cause or constitute a material breach

-49-

of any of its representations, warranties, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement that reasonably could be expected to give rise, individually or in the aggregate, to the failure of a condition in Article VII; provided, that any failure to give notice in accordance with the foregoing with respect to any breach shall not be deemed to constitute a violation of this Section 6.10 or the failure of any condition set forth in Section 7.2 or 7.3 to be satisfied, or otherwise constitute a breach of this Agreement by the party failing to give such notice, in each case, unless the underlying breach would independently result in a failure of the conditions set forth in Section 7.2 or 7.3 to be satisfied; and provided, further, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 6.10 shall not cure any breach of, or noncompliance with, any other provision of this Agreement or limit the remedies available to the party receiving such notice.

6.11 Shareholder Litigation. Each party shall give the other party prompt notice of any shareholder litigation against such party or its directors or officers relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Company shall (i) give Purchaser the opportunity to participate (at Purchaser’s expense) in the defense or settlement of any such litigation, (ii) give Purchaser a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on all filings or responses to be made by the Company in connection with any such litigation, and will in good faith take such comments into account and (iii) not agree to settle any such litigation without Purchaser’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, that the other party shall not be obligated to consent to any settlement which does not include a full release of such other party and its affiliates or which imposes an injunction or other equitable relief after the First Effective Time upon the Surviving Entity or any of its affiliates.

6.12 Other Covenants. The Company will cause Company Bank to ensure that all of its deposits are classified in compliance with the FDIC’s Final Rule on Brokered Deposits and Interest Rate Restrictions (86 Fed. Reg. 6742) and any FAQs or other guidance issued by the FDIC related thereto as of January 1, 2022 (the effective date of such Final Rule) or such earlier date as may be required under applicable law and regulatory guidance. The parties agree that the Company will engage in reasonable measures to ensure the foregoing covenant is complied with in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser.

6.13 Acquisition Proposals.

(a) The Company will, and will cause its Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any activities, discussions or negotiations conducted before the date of this Agreement with any person other than Purchaser with respect to any Acquisition Proposal. Subject to Section 6.4(b) and this Section 6.13, the Company agrees that it will not, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries not to, and use its reasonable best efforts to cause its and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (collectively, “Representatives”) not to, directly or indirectly, (i) initiate, solicit, knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate any inquiries or proposals with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) engage or participate in any negotiations with any person concerning any Acquisition Proposal, (iii) provide any confidential or nonpublic information or data to, or have or participate in any discussions with, any person relating to any Acquisition Proposal (except to notify a person that has made or, to the knowledge of such party, is making any inquiries with respect to, or is considering making, an Acquisition Proposal, of the existence of the provisions of this Section 6.13(a)), or (iv) unless this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms, approve or enter into any term sheet, letter of intent, commitment, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement or other similar agreement (whether written or oral, binding or nonbinding) (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement entered into in accordance with this Section 6.13(a)) in connection with or relating to any Acquisition Proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that after the date of this Agreement and prior to the receipt of the Requisite Company Vote, the Company receives an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that did not result from or arise in connection with a breach of this Section 6.13(a), the Company may, and may permit its Subsidiaries and its and its Subsidiaries’ Representatives to, furnish or cause to be furnished confidential or nonpublic information or data and participate in such negotiations or discussions with the person making the Acquisition Proposal if the Board of Directors of the Company concludes in good faith (after consultation with its outside counsel and

-50-

financial advisors) that failure to take such actions would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law; provided, that, prior to furnishing any confidential or nonpublic information permitted to be provided pursuant to this sentence, the Company shall have provided such information to Purchaser and shall have entered into a confidentiality agreement with the person making such Acquisition Proposal on terms no less favorable to the Company than the Confidentiality Agreement and which shall not include any standstill provisions or provide such person with any exclusive right to negotiate with the Company (“Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement”). The Company will promptly (within twenty-four (24) hours) advise Purchaser following receipt of any Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry which could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal and the substance thereof (including the terms and conditions of and the identity of the person making such inquiry or Acquisition Proposal), will provide the Purchaser with an unredacted copy of any such Acquisition Proposal and any draft agreements, proposals or other materials received in connection with any such inquiry or Acquisition Proposal, and will keep Purchaser apprised of any related developments, discussions and negotiations on a reasonably prompt basis, including any amendments to or revisions of the terms of such inquiry or Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to enforce any existing confidentiality or standstill agreements to which it or any of its Subsidiaries is a party in accordance with the terms thereof. As used in this Agreement, “Acquisition Proposal” shall mean, other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any offer, proposal or inquiry relating to, or any third-party indication of interest in, (i) any acquisition or purchase, direct or indirect, of twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries or twenty-five percent (25%) or more of any class of equity or voting securities of the Company or its Subsidiaries whose assets, individually or in the aggregate, constitute twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the consolidated assets of the Company, (ii) any tender offer (including a self-tender offer) or exchange offer that, if consummated, would result in such third party beneficially owning twenty-five percent (25%) or more of any class of equity or voting securities of the Company or its Subsidiaries whose assets, individually or in the aggregate, constitute twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the consolidated assets of the Company, or (iii) a merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination, reorganization, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or other similar transaction involving the Company or its Subsidiaries whose assets, individually or in the aggregate, constitute twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the consolidated assets of the Company. As used in this Agreement, “Superior Proposal” shall mean any bona fide written Acquisition Proposal which the board of directors of the Company determines, in good faith, after taking into account all legal, financial, regulatory, and other aspects of such proposal (including the amount, form, and timing of payment of consideration, the financing thereof, any associated break-up or termination fees, including those provided for in this Agreement, expense reimbursement provisions, and all conditions to consummation) and the person making the proposal, and after consulting with its financial advisor (which shall be a regionally recognized investment banking firm) and outside legal counsel, is (i) more favorable from a financial point of view to the Company’s shareholders than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (taking into account any proposal by Purchaser to amend the terms of this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.4(b)) and (ii) reasonably likely to be timely consummated on the terms set forth; provided, however, that for purposes of this definition of Superior Proposal, references to “twenty-five percent (25%)” in the definition of Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to be references to “fifty percent (50%).” It is agreed that any violation of the restrictions on the Company set forth in this Section 6.13(a) by any officer, director, employee, consultant, advisor or other representative of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case acting on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, shall be a breach of this Section 6.13(a) by the Company.

(b) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent a party or its Board of Directors from complying with Rule 14d-9 and Rule 14e-2 under the Exchange Act or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A with respect to an Acquisition Proposal or from making any legally required disclosure to such party’s shareholders; provided, that such rules will in no way eliminate or modify the effect that any action pursuant to such rules would otherwise have under this Agreement.

(b) Effective as of the First Effective Time, and subject to regulatory requirements and compliance with Purchaser’s policies and procedures applicable to directors of Raymond James Bank, a Florida-chartered bank and wholly-owned subsidiary of Purchaser, but other than any such policies and procedures solely applicable to a Florida-chartered bank (i) the Company Bank’s board of directors shall be comprised of up to ten (10) members, at least four (4) of whom (and which shall include James Getz and Brian Fetterolf) shall be individuals serving as members of the Company Bank board of directors prior to the First Effective Time selected (prior to the First Effective Time) by the Company and reasonably acceptable to Purchaser shall remain on the board of directors of the Company Bank and (ii) Chartwell’s board of directors shall be comprised of up to ten (10) members, at least four (4) of whom shall be individuals serving as First members of the Chartwell board of directors prior to the First Effective Time, three (3) of which shall be James Getz, Brian Fetterolf, and Tim Riddle and the fourth (4^th) of which shall be selected (prior to the First Effective Time) by the Company (which shall be reasonably acceptable to Purchaser), provided that additional members of such boards selected by the Purchaser shall be added such that Purchaser controls a majority of such boards.

6.15 Public Announcements. The Company and Purchaser agree that the initial press release with respect to the execution and delivery of this Agreement shall be a release mutually agreed to by the parties. Thereafter, each of the parties agrees that no public release or announcement or statement concerning this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be issued by any party without the prior written consent of the other party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except (a) as required by applicable law or the rules or regulations of any applicable Governmental Entity or stock exchange to which the relevant party is subject, in which case the party required to make the release or announcement shall consult with the other party about, and allow the other party reasonable time to comment on, such release or announcement in advance of such issuance, (b) for such releases, announcements or statements that are consistent with other such releases, announcement or statements made after the date of this Agreement in compliance with this Section 6.15, or (c) for such releases, announcements or statements made or proposed to be made by the Company (i) with respect to any action taken pursuant to Section 6.4(b) or (ii) in connection with any dispute between the parties regarding this Agreement, the Mergers or the other transactions contemplated hereby.

6.17 Takeover Statutes. Neither the Company nor its Board of Directors shall take any action that would cause any Takeover Statute to become applicable to this Agreement, the Mergers, or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby, and each shall take all necessary steps to exempt (or ensure the continued exemption of) the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated hereby from any applicable Takeover Statute now or hereafter in effect. If any Takeover Statute may become, or may purport to be, applicable to the transactions contemplated hereby, each party and the members of their respective Boards of Directors will grant such approvals and take such actions as are necessary so that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby and otherwise act to eliminate or minimize the effects of any Takeover Statute on any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, if necessary, challenging the validity or applicability of any such Takeover Statute.

6.18 Treatment of Company Indebtedness. At and after the First Effective Time, Purchaser shall assume the due and punctual performance and observance of the covenants to be performed by the Company under the indentures set forth in Section 6.18 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, and the due and punctual payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on, the notes governed thereby.

6.19 Exemption from Liability Under Section 16(b). The Company and Purchaser agree that, in order to most effectively compensate and retain the Company Insiders, both prior to and after the First Effective Time, it is desirable that the Company Insiders not be subject to a risk of liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law in connection with the conversion of shares of Company Common Stock, Company Preferred Stock and Company Equity Awards in the First Merger, and for those compensatory and retentive purposes agree to the provisions of this Section 6.19. The Company shall deliver to Purchaser in a reasonably timely fashion prior to the First Effective Time accurate information regarding those officers and directors of the Company subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act (the “Company Insiders”), and the Board of Directors of Purchaser and of the Company, or a committee of non-employee directors thereof (as such term is defined for purposes of Rule 16b-3(d) under the Exchange Act), shall reasonably promptly thereafter, and in any event prior to the First Effective Time, take all such steps as may be required to cause (in the case of the Company) any dispositions of Company Common Stock, Company Preferred Stock or Company Equity Awards by the Company Insiders, and (in the case of Purchaser) any acquisitions of Purchaser Common Stock, New Purchaser Preferred Stock or Purchaser Equity Awards by any Company Insiders who, immediately following the First Merger, will be officers or directors of Purchaser subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, in each case, pursuant to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, to be exempt from liability pursuant to Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

6.20 Securities Aggregation.

The Company and its affiliates will cooperate with Purchaser and its affiliates in the preparation and making of any regulatory filings that may be required as a result of any aggregation issues that arise as a result of commonly owned securities.

(a) The Company and Purchaser will mutually agree on the forms of consent (the “Client Investment Advisory Contract Consents”), that the Company or any of its applicable Subsidiaries will send to each client of the Company and its applicable Subsidiaries under any applicable contract pursuant to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries render investment advisory or sub-advisory services to any client of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (“Client Investment Advisory Contracts”) twice, (i) first as soon as practicable after the date hereof and (ii) second at least forty-five (45) days prior to the expected Closing Date.

Each of the Company and Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts and shall cooperate with one another to obtain the opinions of counsel referred to in Sections 7.2(c) and 7.3(c). In connection with the foregoing, (i) the Company shall deliver to the counsel that is delivering the opinion referred to in Section 7.2(c) or 7.3(c) a duly executed letter of representation customary for transactions of this type and reasonably satisfactory to such counsel (the “Company Tax Certificate”), and (ii) Purchaser shall deliver to the counsel that is delivering the opinion referred to in Section 7.2(c) or 7.3(c) a duly executed letter of representation customary for transactions of this type and reasonably satisfactory to such counsel (the “Purchaser Tax Certificate”), in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii), at such times as such counsel shall reasonably request.

(b) For U.S. federal income tax purposes (and for purposes of any applicable state or local Tax that follows the U.S. federal income tax treatment), each party will prepare and file all Tax Returns consistent with the Intended Tax Treatment (including attaching the statement described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-3(a) on or with its Tax Return for the taxable year of the Mergers), and will not take any inconsistent position on any Tax Return unless otherwise required by applicable law. Each party shall promptly notify the other party in writing if, before the Closing Date, such party knows or has reason to believe that the Mergers, taken together, may not qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment, in which case the parties shall work together in good faith to revise the transaction structure in a manner that does qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment.

(b) (i) by either Purchaser or the Company if any Governmental Entity whose approval is required for a Requisite Regulatory Approval has notified Purchaser or the Company that it has determined not to grant (or has rescinded or revoked if previously approved) any Requisite Regulatory Approval; (ii) by Purchaser if (A) any Burdensome Regulatory Condition is imposed in connection with any such Requisite Regulatory Approval, or the applicable Governmental Entity has notified Purchaser or the Company that it will not grant such Requisite Regulatory Approval without imposition of a Burdensome Regulatory Condition or (B) the consummation of the Mergers or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement would result in a Burdensome Regulatory Condition or (iii) by either Purchaser or the Company if any Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction shall have issued a final and nonappealable injunction, decree or other legal restraint or prohibition permanently enjoining or otherwise prohibiting or making illegal the consummation of any of the Mergers or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, unless, in each case of (i) and (iii), the failure to obtain such approval or the issuance of such injunction, decree, restraint or prohibition shall be due to the failure of the party seeking to terminate this Agreement to perform or observe the obligations, covenants and agreements of such party set forth herein; provided, however, that the right set forth in (i) and (ii) above may be exercised by the applicable party only on or after June 30, 2022; provided, further, that the parties shall continue to comply with their obligations under Section 6.1 until this Agreement is terminated in accordance with this Section 8.1(b) and if, prior to termination of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 8.1(b), as applicable, (x) any Requisite Regulatory Approval contemplated by clause (ii) hereof has been received without the imposition of any Burdensome Regulatory Condition, (y) any Burdensome Regulatory Condition imposed in connection with a Requisite Regulatory Approval contemplated by clause (ii) has been removed or is longer applicable, or (z) any Governmental Entity contemplated in clause (ii) hereof shall have notified Purchaser or the Company, as applicable, that it will grant such Requisite Regulatory Approval without imposition of a Burdensome Regulatory Condition, or that the consummation of the Mergers or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement will not result in a Burdensome Regulatory Condition, then neither Purchaser nor the Company shall thereafter have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(b)(ii);

(c) by either Purchaser or the Company if the Mergers shall not have been consummated on or before the twelve (12) month anniversary of the date of this Agreement (the “Termination Date”); provided that if on the Termination Date all conditions precedent to Closing in Article VII (other than those conditions that by their nature can only be satisfied at the Closing), other than the conditions precedent specified in Section 7.1(c), have been satisfied or waived, either party may (unless the failure of the Closing to occur by such date shall be due to the failure of the party seeking to terminate this Agreement to perform or observe the obligations, covenants and agreements of such party set forth herein), in its sole discretion, by delivering written notice to the other party prior to the Termination Date, extend the Termination Date to not later than the fifteen (15) month annivesary of the date of this Agreement; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, such extension of the Termination Date shall not affect the right of either party to exercise its rights pursuant to Section 8.1(b) nor shall it constitute a waiver of Section 7.1(c);

(d) by either Purchaser or the Company (provided, that the terminating party is not then in material breach of any representation, warranty, obligation, covenant or other agreement contained herein) if there shall have been a breach of any of the obligations, covenants or agreements or any of the representations or warranties (or any such representation or warranty shall cease to be true) set forth in this Agreement on the part of the Company, in the case of a termination by Purchaser, or Purchaser or Merger Subs, in the case of a termination by the Company, which breach or failure to be true, either individually or in the aggregate with all other breaches by

-57-

such party (or failures of such representations or warranties to be true), would constitute, if occurring or continuing on the Closing Date, the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.2, in the case of a termination by Purchaser, or Section 7.3, in the case of a termination by the Company, and which is not cured within twenty (20) days following written notice to the Company, in the case of a termination by Purchaser, or Purchaser, in the case of a termination by the Company, or by its nature or timing cannot be cured during such period (or such fewer days as remain prior to the Termination Date);

(e) by Purchaser, if (i) the Company or the Board of Directors of the Company shall have made a Recommendation Change, or (ii) the Company or the Board of Directors of the Company shall have committed an intentional and material breach of its obligations under Section 6.4 or 6.13(a); and

(f) by either Purchaser or the Company, if the Requisite Company Vote shall not have been obtained upon a vote thereon taken at the Company Meeting (including any adjournment or postponement thereof).

8.2 Effect of Termination.

(a) In the event of termination of this Agreement by either Purchaser or the Company as provided in Section 8.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and have no effect, and none of Purchaser, Merger Subs, the Company, any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of the officers or directors of any of them shall have any liability of any nature whatsoever hereunder, or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, except that (i) Section 6.2(b) (Access to Information; Confidentiality), Section 6.15 (Public Announcements), this Section 8.2 and Article IX (other than Section 9.12) shall survive any termination of this Agreement, and (ii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, none of Purchaser, Merger Subs or the Company shall be relieved or released from any liabilities or damages arising out of its fraud or its intentional and material breach of any provision of this Agreement.

(b) In the event that after the date of this Agreement and prior to the termination of this Agreement, a bona fide Acquisition Proposal shall have been communicated to or otherwise made known to the Board of Directors or senior management of the Company or shall have been made directly to the shareholders of the Company or any person shall have publicly announced (and not withdrawn at least two (2) business days prior to the Company Meeting) an Acquisition Proposal, in each case, with respect to the Company, and (A)(x) thereafter this Agreement is terminated by either Purchaser or the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(c) without the Requisite Company Vote having been obtained (and all other conditions set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.3 were satisfied or were capable of being satisfied prior to such termination), (y) thereafter this Agreement is terminated by Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.1(d) as a result of an intentional or material breach or (z) thereafter this Agreement is terminated by Purchaser or the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(f) and (B) prior to the date that is twelve (12) months after the date of such termination, the Company enters into a definitive agreement or consummates a transaction with respect to an Acquisition Proposal (whether or not the same Acquisition Proposal as that referred to above), then the Company shall, on the earlier of the date it enters into such definitive agreement and the date of consummation of such transaction, pay (or cause to be paid to) Purchaser, by wire transfer of same-day funds, a fee equal to $41,908,000 (the “Termination Fee”); provided, that for purposes of this Section 8.2(b), all references in the definition of Acquisition Proposal to “twenty-five percent (25%)” shall instead refer to “fifty percent (50%).”

(c) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.1(e) or by the Company or Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.1(c) or Section 8.1(f) at a time when this Agreement was terminable by Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.1(e), then the Company shall pay (or cause to be paid to) Purchaser, by wire transfer of same-day funds, the Termination Fee within two (2) business days of the date of termination.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, but without limiting the right of any party to recover liabilities or damages arising out of the other party’s fraud or intentional and material breach of any provision of this Agreement, in no event shall either party be required to pay the Termination Fee more than once.

-58-

(e) Each of Purchaser and the Company acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 8.2 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, the other party would not enter into this Agreement; accordingly, if the Company fails promptly to pay the amount due pursuant to this Section 8.2, and, in order to obtain such payment, the other party commences a suit which results in a judgment against the non-paying party for the Termination Fee or any portion thereof, such non-paying party shall pay the costs and expenses of the other party (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with such suit. In addition, if the Company fails to pay the amounts payable pursuant to this Section 8.2, then such party shall pay interest on such overdue amounts at a rate per annum equal to the “prime rate” published in the Wall Street Journal on the date on which such payment was required to be made for the period commencing as of the date that such overdue amount was originally required to be paid and ending on the date that such overdue amount is actually paid in full.

(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement (including Section 8.2(a)) to the contrary, if the Company has paid to Purchaser (i) the Termination Fee and (ii) all amounts, if any, required to be paid by the Company pursuant to Section 8.2(e), then, other than with respect to any intentional and material breach, or fraud, none of the Company, its Subsidiaries or its affiliates shall have any other liability or obligation for any or all losses or damages suffered or incurred by Purchaser, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its affiliates in connection with this Agreement (including the termination hereof), the transactions contemplated hereby (and the abandonment thereof) or any matter forming the basis for such termination, and, other than with respect to any intentional and material breach, or fraud, none of Purchaser, its Subsidiaries or its affiliates shall be entitled to bring or maintain any other claim, action or proceeding against any of the Company, its Subsidiaries or its affiliates arising out of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or any matters forming the basis for such termination.

9.11 Assignment; Third-Party Beneficiaries. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other party. Any purported assignment in contravention hereof shall be null and void. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties and their respective successors and assigns. Except as otherwise specifically provided in Section 6.8, which is intended to benefit each Company Indemnified Party, this Agreement (including the documents and instruments referred to herein) is not intended to, and does not, confer upon any person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder, including the right to rely upon the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement. The representations and warranties in this Agreement are the product of negotiations among the parties hereto and are for the sole benefit of the parties. Any inaccuracies in such representations and warranties are subject to waiver by the parties hereto in accordance herewith without notice or liability to any other person. In some instances, the representations and warranties in this Agreement may represent an allocation among the parties hereto of risks associated with particular matters regardless of the knowledge of any of the parties hereto.

9.13 Severability.

9.14 Confidential Supervisory Information. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no party shall be required to make any disclosure (whether pursuant to a representation or warranty or otherwise) that would involve the disclosure of confidential supervisory information (including confidential supervisory

-62-

information as defined in 12 C.F.R. § 261.2(b) and as identified in 12 C.F.R. § 309.5(g)(8)) of a Governmental Entity by any party to this Agreement to the extent prohibited by applicable law. To the extent legally permissible, appropriate substitute disclosures or actions shall be made or taken under circumstances in which the limitations of the preceding sentence apply. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure to disclose pursuant to this Section 9.14 will operate to waive or exclude a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of this Agreement.

9.15 Delivery by Facsimile or Electronic Transmission. This Agreement and any signed agreement or instrument entered into in connection with this Agreement, and any amendments or waivers hereto or thereto, to the extent signed and delivered by means of a facsimile machine or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or instrument and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person.
