Ladies and Gentlemen:
1st Source Corporation, an Indiana corporation (the “Company”), and certain shareholders of the Company named in Schedule I hereto (the “Selling Shareholders”) severally confirm their respective agreements with Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. (“KBW”) with respect to the sale by the Selling Shareholders and the purchase by KBW of the respective number of shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, no par value, of the Company (“Common Stock”) set forth on Schedule I.
The Company and the Selling Shareholders understand that KBW proposes to make a public offering of the Securities as soon as it deems advisable after this Underwriting Agreement (this “Underwriting Agreement” or this “Agreement”) has been executed and delivered.
The Company has prepared and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-207926), which contains a base prospectus (the “Base Prospectus”) to be used in connection with the public offering and sale of Common Stock. Such registration statement, including the amendments thereto, the exhibits and any schedules thereto, in the form in which it became effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “Securities Act”), including all documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein and any information deemed to be a part thereof at the time of effectiveness, including the Rule 430 Information (defined below), is herein called the “Registration Statement.” Any registration statement filed pursuant to Rule 462(b) of the Securities Act is herein referred to as the “Rule 462(b) Registration Statement,” and after such filing the term “Registration Statement” shall include the Rule 462(b) Registration Statement.
The Company has prepared and has filed or will immediately file a prospectus supplement to the Base Prospectus relating to the Securities in accordance with the provisions of Rule 430A (“Rule 430A”) or Rule 430B (“Rule 430B”) of the Securities Act Regulations and paragraph (b) of Rule 424 (“Rule 424(b)”) of the Securities Act Regulations. The information included in such
prospectus supplement that was omitted from the Registration Statement at the time it became effective but that is deemed to be part of such registration statement at the time it became effective pursuant to Rule 430A or Rule 430B is referred to as “Rule 430 Information.” Such prospectus supplement, including the information and documents incorporated by reference therein, and each other preliminary prospectus that omitted Rule 430 Information that was used after the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, together with the Base Prospectus, is hereinafter called a “Preliminary Prospectus.” Following the Applicable Time (as defined below), the Company shall file with the Commission a final prospectus supplement relating to the Shares in accordance with Rule 424(b), and such final prospectus supplement as filed and including the information and documents incorporated by reference therein, along with the Base Prospectus, is hereinafter called the “Prospectus.” The Preliminary Prospectus relating to the Shares that was included in the Registration Statement immediately prior to the Applicable Time (as defined below) is hereinafter called the “Pricing Prospectus.” The “Pricing Disclosure Package” means the Pricing Prospectus, together with the Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses (as defined below), if any, listed on Schedule II hereto, and the pricing information conveyed orally to investors, and as set forth on Schedule III hereto. For the purposes of this Agreement, the “Applicable Time” is 8 a.m. (Eastern time) on the date of this Agreement. Any “issuer free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act) relating to the offering of the Shares contemplated hereunder is hereinafter called an “Issuer Free Writing Prospectus.” For purposes of this Agreement, all references to the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing shall be deemed to include the copy filed with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system (“EDGAR”).

(ii) The Selling Shareholder has the applicable power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to sell, transfer and deliver the Shares to be sold by such Selling Shareholder hereunder.

(iii) The Selling Shareholder has, and will on the Closing Date have, valid title to the Shares to be sold by such Selling Shareholder hereunder, free and clear of any security interest, mortgage, pledge, lien, charge, claim, equity or other encumbrance, other than pursuant to this Agreement.

14
respect of such Shares and (B) no action based on any “adverse claim,” within the meaning of Section 8-102 of the UCC, to such Shares may be asserted against KBW with respect to such security entitlement; for purposes of this representation, such Selling Shareholder may assume that when such payment, delivery and crediting occur, (x) such Shares will have been registered in the name of Cede or another nominee designated by DTC, in each case on the Company’s share registry in accordance with its charter, by-laws or other organizational document and applicable law, (y) DTC will be registered as a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of Section 8-102 of the UCC and (z) appropriate book entries crediting the Shares to the securities accounts of KBW maintained at DTC will have been made on records of DTC pursuant to Section 8-501 of the UCC.

(c) Payment shall be made to the Selling Shareholders by wire transfer of immediately available funds to bank accounts designated by the Selling Shareholders against delivery to KBW for the Shares to be purchased.

(a) The Company further covenants and agrees with KBW as follows:
(i) The Company, subject to Section 4(a)(ii) hereof, will comply with the requirements of Rule 430A or Rule 430B under the Securities Act, and will notify KBW immediately, and confirm the notice in writing, (i) when any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement shall become effective, or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus shall have been filed, to furnish KBW with copies thereof, and to file promptly all material required to be filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, (ii) of the receipt of any comments from the Commission, (iii) of any request by the Commission for any amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or for additional information, and (iv) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or of any order preventing or suspending the use of any Preliminary Prospectus, or of the suspension of the qualification of the Shares for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or of the initiation or threatening of any proceedings for any of such purposes. The Company will promptly effect the filings necessary pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act and will take such steps as it deems necessary to ascertain promptly whether the form of prospectus transmitted for filing under Rule 424(b) was received for filing by the Commission and, in the event that it was not, it will promptly file such prospectus. The Company will make every reasonable effort to prevent the issuance of any stop order and, if any stop order is issued, to obtain the lifting thereof at the earliest possible moment.
(ii) During the period when a prospectus relating to the Shares is required by the Securities Act to be delivered (whether physically or through compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act or any similar rule), the Company (i) will furnish to KBW for review, a reasonable period of time prior to the proposed time of filing of any proposed amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, a copy of each such amendment or supplement, and (ii) will not amend or supplement the Registration Statement without KBW’s prior written consent.

(v) The Company has furnished or will deliver to KBW, without charge, signed copies of the Registration Statement as originally filed, any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement and of each amendment to each (including exhibits filed therewith or incorporated by reference therein) and signed copies of all consents and certificates of experts, and will also, upon your request, deliver to KBW, without charge, a conformed copy of the Registration Statement as originally filed and of each amendment thereto (without exhibits) for KBW.

(viii) The Company shall engage and maintain, at its expense, a registrar and transfer agent for the Shares for at least 12 months following the Closing.
(ix) The Company will use its best efforts to effect and maintain the listing of the Common Stock (including the Shares) on the NASDAQ Global Select Market for at least 12 months following the Closing Date.

(xi) During the Lock-Up Period, the Company will enforce all agreements between the Company and any of its security holders that restrict or prohibit, expressly or in operation, the offer, sale or transfer of shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any shares of Common Stock, or any of the other actions restricted or prohibited under the terms of the form of “lock-up” agreement. In addition, the Company will direct the transfer agent to place stop transfer restrictions upon any such securities of the Company that are bound by such “lock-up” agreements for the duration of the periods contemplated in such agreements, including, without limitation, “lock-up” agreements entered into by the Company’s officers and directors and shareholders pursuant to Section 6(m) hereof.
(xii) If KBW, in its sole discretion, agrees to release or waive the restrictions set forth in a “lock-up” agreement described in Section 6(m) hereof for an officer or director of the Company and provides the Company with notice of the impending release or waiver at least three business days before the effective date of the release or waiver, the Company agrees to
18
announce the impending release or waiver by a press release substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto through a major news service at least two (2) business days before the effective date of the release or waiver.
(xiii) The Company will comply with the Securities Act and the Exchange Act so as to permit the completion of the distribution of the Shares as contemplated by this Agreement, the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will, during the period when a prospectus relating to the Shares is required by the Securities Act to be delivered (whether physically or through compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act or any similar rule), file on a timely basis with the Commission and the NASDAQ Global Select Market all reports and documents required to be filed under the Exchange Act.
(xiv) The Company will file with the Commission such information on Form 10-Q or Form 10-K as may be required pursuant to Rule 463 under the Securities Act.

As used herein, the term “electronic Prospectus” means a form of Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus, and any amendment or supplement thereto, that meets each of the following conditions: (A) it shall be encoded in an electronic format, satisfactory to KBW, that may be transmitted electronically by KBW to offerees and purchasers of the Shares, (B) it shall disclose the same information as such paper Preliminary Prospectus, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be, and (C) it shall be in or convertible into a paper format or an electronic format, satisfactory to KBW, that will allow investors to store and have continuously ready access to such Preliminary Prospectus, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus at any future time, without charge to investors (other than any fee charged for subscription to the Internet generally).

21
(b) The respective representations and warranties of the Company and the Selling Shareholders contained herein are true and correct on and as of the Closing Date as if made on and as of the Closing Date and each of the Company and the Selling Shareholders shall have complied with all agreements and all conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied hereunder at or prior to the Closing Date.

(d) KBW shall have received on and as of the Closing Date (i) a certificate of two executive officers of the Company, at least one of whom has specific knowledge about the Company’s financial matters, satisfactory to KBW, to the effect (1) set forth in Section 6(b) (with respect to the respective representations, warranties, agreements and conditions of the Company) (2) that none of the situations set forth in clause (i) or (ii) of Section 6(c) shall have occurred and (3) that no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued and to the knowledge of the Company, no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or are pending or contemplated by the Commission, and (ii) a certificate of the Selling Shareholders, satisfactory to KBW, to the effect set forth in Section 6(b) (with respect to the respective representations, warranties, agreements and conditions of the Selling Shareholders);

(g) On the Closing Date, Barnes & Thornburg LLP, as counsel for the Selling Shareholders (but not any beneficiary thereof), shall have furnished to KBW its favorable written opinion, dated the Closing Date, in customary form and substance satisfactory to counsel for KBW.

(i) On the Closing, KBW shall have received from each of BKD, LLP and Ernst & Young LLP a letter, dated the Closing Date, to the effect that they reaffirm the statements made in the letter or letters furnished pursuant to Section 6(h), except that the specified date referred to therein for the carrying out of procedures shall be not more than three business days prior to the Closing Date.

If any condition specified in this Section 6 shall not have been fulfilled when and as required to be fulfilled, this Agreement may be terminated, subject to the provisions of Section 12, by KBW by notice to the Company at any time at or prior to the Closing Date and such termination shall be

without liability of any party to any other party, except as provided in Section 5, Section 8 and Section 12.
Section 7. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.
Section 8. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless KBW and each person, if any, who controls KBW within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses whatsoever as incurred (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and any and all reasonable expenses whatsoever incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever, and any and all amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation), to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment thereto, or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus, any free writing prospectus that the Company has used, referred to or filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) of the Securities Act, or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement to the foregoing), or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, as originally filed or any amendment thereof, the Registration Statement, or any post-effective amendment thereof, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, or in any supplement thereto or amendment thereof, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus in reliance upon and in strict conformity with written information furnished to the Company by KBW expressly for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by KBW is the information described as such in Section 8(c) hereof.
(b) Each of the Selling Shareholders will severally and not jointly indemnify and hold harmless KBW and each person, if any, who controls KBW within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act against any losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses whatsoever as incurred (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and any and all reasonable expenses whatsoever incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever, and any and all amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation) to which they or any of them may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, as originally filed or any amendment thereof, or any post-effective amendment thereof, or any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or in any supplement thereto or amendment thereof, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
24
therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that any such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in strict conformity with written information furnished to the Company or KBW by or on behalf of the Selling Shareholders expressly for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by Selling Shareholders consists of (A) the legal name and address of such Selling Shareholder, (B) the number of Shares beneficially owned by such Selling Shareholder before and after the offering, (C) the number of Shares being offered by such Selling Shareholder, and (D) the other information in the footnotes corresponding to such Selling Shareholder, in the case of (A), (B), (C) and (D), that appears in the table under the caption “Selling Shareholders” in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.
(c) KBW agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each Selling Shareholder, each of the directors of the Company, each of the officers of the Company who shall have signed the Registration Statement, and each other person, if any, who controls the Company or a Selling Shareholder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, against any losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses whatsoever as incurred (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and any and all reasonable expenses whatsoever incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever, and any and all amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation), to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, as originally filed or any amendment thereof, or any post-effective amendment thereof, or any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or in any supplement thereto or amendment thereof, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that any such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in strict conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of KBW expressly for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by KBW consists of the following information in the Prospectus furnished on behalf of KBW: the table on the cover page containing the terms of the offering by KBW, the first table under the caption “Underwriting” containing the name of the underwriter and number of Shares, the second table under the caption “Underwriting” containing the terms of the offering, the concession and reallowance figures in the first paragraph after the second table under the caption “Underwriting” and the information contained in the first two paragraphs after the heading “Stabilization, Covering Transactions and Penalty Bids” under the caption “Underwriting.”
(d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under Section 8(a), 8(b) or 8(c) hereof of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such Section, notify each party against whom indemnification is to be sought in writing of the commencement thereof (but the failure so to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under this Section 8). In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled
25
to participate therein, and jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to the extent it may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnified party). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to employ its or their own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party or parties unless (i) the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by one of the indemnifying parties in connection with the defense of such action, (ii) the indemnifying parties shall not have employed counsel to have charge of the defense of such action within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, or (iii) such indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to it or them which are different from or additional to those available to one or all of the indemnifying parties (in which case the indemnifying parties shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party or parties), in any of which events such fees and expenses shall be borne by the indemnifying parties. In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, which counsel, in the event of indemnified parties under Sections 8(a) or (b), shall be selected by KBW. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party.
(e) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 8(a), 8(b) or 8(c) in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Shareholders on the one hand and KBW on the other from the offering of the Shares. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company and the Selling Shareholders on the one hand and KBW on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Shareholders on the one hand and KBW on the other from the offering of the Shares shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (net of underwriting discounts and commissions but before deducting any other expenses) received by the Company and the Selling Shareholders bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by KBW, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information
26
supplied by the Company or the Selling Shareholders on the one hand or KBW on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
The Company, the Selling Shareholders and KBW agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 8(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 8(e). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this Section 8(e) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8(e), KBW shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Shares underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which KBW has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.
No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8(e), no Selling Shareholder shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the proceeds received by such Selling Shareholder from the sale of Shares under this Agreement.
(f) The obligations of the parties to this Agreements contained in this Section 8 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.
Section 9. [Reserved]
Section 10. If one or more of the Selling Shareholders shall fail to sell and deliver to KBW the Shares to be sold and delivered by such Selling Shareholders at the Closing Date pursuant to this Agreement, then KBW may at its option, by written notice from KBW to the Company and the Selling Shareholders, either (i) terminate this Agreement without any liability on the part of KBW or, except as provided in Section 5, Section 8 or Section 12 hereof, the Company or the other Selling Shareholders, or (ii) purchase the shares which the other Selling Shareholders have agreed to sell and deliver in accordance with the terms hereof. If one or more of the Selling Shareholders shall fail to sell and deliver to KBW the Shares to be sold and delivered by such Selling Shareholders pursuant to this Agreement at the Closing Date, then KBW shall have the right, by written notice from KBW to the Company and the Selling Shareholders, to postpone the Closing Date for a period not exceeding seven days in order to effect any required changes, to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any other documents or arrangements may be effected.
Section 11. Notwithstanding anything herein contained, this Agreement may be terminated, subject to the provisions of Section 12, in the absolute discretion of KBW, by notice given to the Company, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date, (a) trading generally on the New York Stock Exchange or on the NASDAQ Global Select Market or the NASDAQ Global Market shall have been suspended or materially limited, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices have been required, by any of said exchanges or by such system or by order of the Commission, FINRA or any
27
other governmental or regulatory authority, (b) trading of any securities of or guaranteed by the Company or any Subsidiary shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market, (c) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities in Indiana shall have been declared by Federal or Indiana State authorities or a new restriction materially adversely affecting the distribution of the Shares shall have become effective, (d) there has occurred any material adverse change in the financial markets in the United States or the international financial markets, any outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof or other calamity or crisis or any change or development involving a prospective change in national or international political, financial or economic conditions or (e) there has occurred any other Material Adverse Change, in each case the effect of which is such as to make it, in the judgment of KBW, impracticable to market the Shares to be delivered on the Closing Date, or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Shares.
If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 11, such termination will be without liability of any party to any other party except as provided in Section 5 and Section 12 hereof; provided that the provisions of Section 8 shall at all times be effective and shall survive such termination.
Section 12.
(a) The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company or its officers, of the Selling Shareholders and of KBW set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation, or statement as to the results thereof, made by or on behalf of KBW, the Company, any Selling Shareholder, or any of their respective representatives, officers or directors or any controlling person, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Shares.
(b) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 6 or 11 or if for any reason the purchase of any of the Shares by KBW is not consummated, the Company and the Selling Shareholders shall remain responsible for the expenses to be paid or reimbursed by them pursuant to Section 5, the respective obligations of the Company, the Selling Shareholders and KBW pursuant to Section 8 and the provisions of Section 12 shall remain in effect and, if any Shares have been purchased hereunder, the representations and warranties in Section 1 and all obligations under Section 5, Section 6 and Section 8 shall also remain in effect.
(c) If this Agreement shall be terminated by KBW under Section 6 or otherwise because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company or the Selling Shareholders to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason any of the Company or the Selling Shareholders shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any condition of KBW’s obligations cannot be fulfilled, the Company agrees to reimburse KBW for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and expenses of its counsel) reasonably incurred by KBW in connection with this Agreement or the offering contemplated hereunder.
Section 13. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and the Selling Shareholders and KBW, the officers and directors of the Company referred to herein, any controlling persons referred to herein and their respective successors and assigns. Nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any other person, firm or corporation any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision herein contained. No purchaser of Shares from KBW shall be deemed to be a successor or assign by reason merely of such purchase.
28
Section 14. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given upon receipt thereof by the recipient if mailed or transmitted by any standard form of telecommunication. Notices to KBW shall be given to it at 787 Seventh Avenue, 4th Floor, New York, New York 10019, (fax no.: (212) 582-1592); Attention: Equity Capital Markets.

Section 15. This Agreement may be signed in counterparts, which may be delivered in facsimile by electronic transmission, each of which shall be an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
Section 16. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO SUCH STATE’S PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS.
Section 17.
(a) The parties hereby submit to the jurisdiction of and venue in the state and federal courts located in the City of New York, New York, in connection with any dispute related to this Agreement, any transaction contemplated hereby, or any other matter contemplated hereby.
(b) The Company and the Selling Shareholders each acknowledge and agree that (i) the purchase and sale of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement, including the determination of the public offering price of the Shares and any related discounts and commissions, is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company and the Selling Shareholders on the one hand, and KBW, on the other, (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading to such transaction KBW is acting solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of the Company and the Selling Shareholders or their respective shareholders, creditors, employees or any other party, (iii) KBW has not assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company and the Selling Shareholders with respect to the offering contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether KBW has advised or is currently advising the Company, the Bank and the Selling Shareholders on other matters) or any other obligation to the Company, the Bank and the Selling Shareholders except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement, and (iv) the Company, the Bank and the Selling Shareholders have each consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate. The Company and each of the Selling Shareholders severally agrees that each will not claim that KBW has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the Company, the Bank and the Selling Shareholders, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.
(c) The Company acknowledges that KBW’s research analysts and research departments are required to be independent from KBW’s investment banking divisions and are subject to certain regulations and internal policies, and that KBW’s research analysts may hold views and make statements or investment recommendations and/or publish research reports with respect to the Company and/or the offering that differ from the views of KBW’s investment banking divisions. The Company hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that the Company may have against KBW with respect to any conflict of interest that may arise from the fact
29
that the views expressed by their independent research analysts and research departments may be different from or inconsistent with the views or advice communicated to the Company by KBW’s investment banking divisions. The Company acknowledges that KBW is a full service securities firm and as such from time to time, subject to applicable securities laws, may effect transaction for its own account or the account of its customers and hold long or short positions in debt or equity securities of the companies that may be the subject of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company and the Selling Shareholders are authorized to disclose to any persons the U.S. federal and state income tax treatment and tax structure of the potential transaction and all materials of any kind (including tax opinions and other tax analyses) provided to the Company and the Selling Shareholders relating to that treatment and structure, without KBW imposing any limitation of any kind. However, any information relating to the tax treatment and tax structure shall remain confidential (and the foregoing sentence shall not apply) to the extent necessary to enable any person to comply with securities laws. For this purpose, “tax structure” is limited to any facts that may be relevant to that treatment.
(e) This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between the Company and the Selling Shareholders and KBW, with respect to the subject matter hereof.
(f) The Company and the Selling Shareholders and KBW hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
