(b) “Material Adverse Effect” means, with respect to the Investor, only clause (2) that follows, or, with respect to the Company, both clauses (1) and (2) that follow, any circumstance, event, change, development or effect that, individually or in the aggregate (1) is or would reasonably be expected to be material and adverse to the financial position, results of operations, business, assets or liabilities, properties, results of operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, respectively, or (2) would or would reasonably be expected to (x) materially impair the ability of either the Investor or the Company, respectively, to perform its obligations under this Agreement or (y) otherwise materially impede the consummation of the Closing and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that in determining whether a Material Adverse Effect has occurred under clause (1), any effect shall be excluded to the extent that it results from (A) changes, after the date of this Agreement, in the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), (B) general changes in the economic conditions that affect the industries in which the Company and its subsidiaries operate, (C) any acts of war, terrorism, insurrection or civil disobedience, (D) any change in law applicable to the Company or subsidiaries (not including any changes in banking or bank holding company laws, rules and regulations), (E) actions or omissions of the Company expressly required by the terms of this Agreement or taken with the prior written consent of the Investor or (F) the failure of the Company to meet any internal projections, forecasts, or estimates (but not the underlying causes of such failure), in each case, to the extent that such circumstances, events, changes, developments or effects described in any of the foregoing clauses (A), (B), (C) or (D) do not have a disproportionate effect on the Company and the Company subsidiaries, taken as a whole relative to other similarly situated participants in the industries, markets or geographic areas in which the Company and its subsidiaries compete, or (3) a material and adverse effect on the legality, validity or enforceability of this Investment Agreement.

(c) “Previously Disclosed” means information set forth on a party’s Disclosure Schedule corresponding to the provision of this Agreement, to which such information relates; provided that information which, on its face, reasonably should indicate to the reader that it relates to another provision of this Agreement shall also be deemed to be Previously Disclosed with respect to such other provision; and provided, further, that the terms of that certain Amended and Restated Investment Agreement dated as of March 2, 2012 between the Company and the Investor (the “Prior Investment Agreement”) are hereby deemed Previously Disclosed for all purposes notwithstanding any non-disclosure of the terms of such agreement on a party’s Disclosure Schedule.

2.2 Representations and Warranties of the Company. Except as Previously Disclosed, the Company represents and warrants as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date (except to the extent made only as of a specified date, in which case as of such date) to the Investor that:

(a) Organization and Authority. The Company is a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Washington, is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in all other jurisdictions where its ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of its business requires it to be so qualified and failure to be so qualified would have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company and has corporate power and authority to own its properties and assets and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted. The Company is duly registered as a bank holding company under the BHC Act. The Company has furnished to the Investor true, correct and complete copies of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and bylaws, as amended, through the date of this Agreement.

(b) Subsidiaries Organizational Authority. The Company’s only subsidiary is Coastal Community Bank (the “Bank”), a Washington State chartered commercial bank, and is subject to the supervision and regulation of the Washington state Department of Financial Institutions. The Bank is a member bank of the Federal Reserve System and is subject to the regulations of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. All shares of the outstanding capital stock of the Bank are owned directly by the Company. All of such shares so owned by the Company are duly authorized and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and are owned by it free and clear of any lien, adverse right or claim, charge, option, pledge, covenant, title defect, security interest or other encumbrances of any kind (“Liens”) or equitable interests, with no personal liability attaching to the ownership thereof. No equity security of the Bank is or may be required to be issued by reason of any option, warrant, scrip, preemptive right, right to subscribe to, gross-up right, call or commitment of any character whatsoever relating to, or security or right convertible into, shares of any capital stock of the Bank, and there are no contracts, commitments, understandings or arrangements by which the Bank is bound to issue additional shares of its capital stock, or any option, warrant or right to purchase or acquire any additional shares of its capital stock. The Bank is duly organized, validly existing, duly qualified to do business and, to the extent applicable, in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation, and has corporate or other appropriate organizational power and authority to own or lease its properties and assets and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted, except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Bank. Except in respect of the Bank, neither the Company nor the Bank own beneficially, directly or indirectly, more than 5% of any class of equity securities or similar interests of any corporation, bank, business trust, association or similar organization, and is not, directly or indirectly, a partner in any partnership

or party to any joint venture. The Bank is duly organized and validly existing as a Washington-state chartered bank, its deposit accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) to the fullest extent permitted by the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the rules and regulations of the FDIC thereunder, and all premiums and assessments required to be paid in connection therewith have been paid when due.

(c) Capitalization. The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 68,000,000 shares of Common Stock, of which 67,000,000 shares are Voting Common Stock and 1,000,000 shares are Non-Voting Common Stock, and 500,000 shares of preferred stock, no par value (the “Company Preferred Stock”). As of the close of business on February 29, 2012 (the “Capitalization Date”), there were 21,655,054 shares of securities outstanding and no shares of Company Preferred Stock outstanding. Since the Capitalization Date and through the date of this Agreement, except in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the any other private placements of Common Stock, the Company has not (i) issued or authorized the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or Company Preferred Stock, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common Stock or Company Preferred Stock, (ii) reserved for issuance any shares of Common Stock or Company Preferred Stock or (iii) repurchased or redeemed, or authorized the repurchase or redemption of, any shares of Common Stock. All of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid, nonassessable and free of preemptive rights, with no personal liability attaching to the ownership thereof no bonds, debentures, notes or other indebtedness having the right to vote on any matters on which the stockholders of the Company may vote (“Voting Debt”) are issued and outstanding. Section 2.2(c) of the Disclosure Schedule sets forth the following information with respect to each outstanding option to purchase shares of Common Stock (a “Company Option”) or right to acquire shares of stock (“Company Restricted Stock”) under the Company’s 2006 Equity and Stock Option Plan (the “Stock Plans”) which is true and correct as of the date of this Agreement: (i) the name and, to the knowledge of the Company, the country and state of residence of each holder of Company Options; (ii) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option, and as applicable for each Company Option, the date of grant, exercise price, number of shares vested or not otherwise subject to repurchase rights, reacquisition rights or other applicable restrictions as of the date hereof, vesting schedule or schedule providing for the lapse of repurchase rights, reacquisition rights or other applicable restrictions, the type of Company Option and the Company Stock Plan or other plan under which such Company Options were granted or purchased; and (iii) whether, in the case of a Company Option, such Company Option is an Incentive Stock Option (within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code (“Code”)). The Company has made available to the Investor copies of each form of stock option agreements evidencing outstanding Company Options and has also delivered any other stock option agreements to the extent there are variations from the form of agreement, specifically identifying the holder(s) to whom such variant forms apply. As of the date of this Agreement, except for (i) the outstanding Company Options described in this Section 2.2(c) and listed on Section 2.2(c) of the Disclosure Schedule and (ii) as set forth elsewhere in this Section 2.2(c), the Company does not have and is not bound by any outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants, calls, commitments or oral or written agreements of any character calling for the purchase or issuance of, or securities or rights convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for, any shares of

Common Stock or Company Preferred Stock or any other equity securities of the Company or Voting Debt or any securities representing the right to purchase or otherwise receive any shares of capital stock of the Company (including any rights plan or agreement). The Company has Previously Disclosed all shares of Company capital stock that have been purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired, directly or indirectly, by the Company or the Bank since December 31, 2010 and all dividends or other distributions have been declared, set aside, made or paid to the stockholders of the Company since that date. Each Company Option under the Stock Plans (i) was granted in compliance with all applicable laws and all of the terms and conditions of the Stock Plans pursuant to which it was issued, (ii) has an exercise price equal to or greater than the fair market value of a share of Common Stock at the close of business on the date of such grant, (iii) has a grant date identical to or following the date on which the Company’s board of directors or compensation committee actually awarded such Company Option, (iv) otherwise is exempt from or complies with Section 409A of the Code so that the recipient of such Company Option is not subject to the additional taxes and interest pursuant to Section 409A of the Code and (v) except for disqualifying dispositions, qualifies for the tax and accounting treatment afforded to such Company Option in the Company’s tax returns and the Company’s financial statements, respectively. The capitalization of the Company, as of the Closing, including all Company Options or rights to Company Restricted Stock is set forth in Section 2.2 (c) of the Disclosure Schedule.

The execution, delivery and performance, as applicable, of this Agreement, and the Securities by the Company and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by the Board of Directors. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed, issued and delivered, as applicable, by the Company and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Investor, is a valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganizations, fraudulent transfer or similar laws relating to or affecting creditors generally or by general equitable principles (whether applied in equity or at law). To the Company’s knowledge, except as contemplated by this Agreement or as Previously Disclosed, no notice to, filing with, exemption or review by, or authorization, consent or approval of, any Governmental Entity is required to be made or obtained by the Investor in connection with the consummation by the Investor of its purchase of the Securities as contemplated by this Agreement. The Securities to be issued have been duly authorized for issuance by the Company and, when duly issued and delivered by the Company against payment therefor in accordance with this Agreement, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, shall not subject the holders thereof to personal liability and the issuance thereof will not be subject to any preemptive or other similar rights. No other corporate proceedings are necessary for the execution, issuance and delivery, as applicable, by the Company of this Agreement, and the issuance of the Securities, the performance by it of its obligations hereunder and thereunder or the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. The Board of Directors has resolved that the transactions contemplated hereby are in the best interests of stockholders of the Company.

(2) Neither the execution, issue, delivery and performance, as applicable, by the Company of this Agreement, and the Securities, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, nor compliance by the Company with any of the provisions thereof, shall (i) violate, conflict with, or result in a breach of any provision of, or constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in the termination of, or accelerate the performance required by, or result in a right of termination or acceleration of, or result in the creation of, any Lien, upon any of the properties or assets of the Company or the Bank under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of (A) its articles of incorporation or bylaws (or similar governing documents) or (B) any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, deed of trust, license, lease, agreement or other instrument or obligation to which the Company or the Bank is a party or by which it may be bound, or to which the Company or the Bank or any of the properties or assets of the Company or the Bank may be subject, or (ii) subject to compliance with the statutes and regulations referred to in Section 2.2(e) below, violate any ordinance, permit, concession, grant, franchise, law, statute, rule or regulation or any judgment, ruling, order, writ, injunction or decree applicable to the Company or the Bank or any of their respective properties or assets except in the case of clauses (i)(B) and (ii) for such violations, conflicts and breaches as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(e) Consents. Section 2.2(e) of the Disclosure Schedule lists all governmental and any other consents, approvals, authorizations, applications, registrations and qualifications that are required to be obtained in connection with or for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Required Approvals”).

Other than this Agreement, Investor has no agreement, arrangement or understanding with any other person for the purpose of acquiring, holding, controlling, voting, distributing or disposing of any securities of the Company. Any such agreement, arrangement or understanding shall be subject to the prior

written approval of the Company and compliance with any applicable regulatory requirements.

The amount of New Securities that the Investor shall be entitled to purchase in the

aggregate shall be determined by multiplying (x) the total number or principal amount of such offered New Securities by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of common stock held by the Investor, and the denominator of which is the number of shares of common stock then outstanding. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Investor have the right to purchase securities hereunder to the extent that such purchase would result in the Investor and its Affiliates exceeding the ownership limitations set forth in Section 4.1(a).

(b) Notice. In the event the Company proposes to offer or sell New Securities that are subject to the Investor’s rights under Section 4.3(a), it shall give the Investor written notice of its intention, describing the price (or range of prices), anticipated amount of securities, timing and other terms upon which the Company proposes to offer the same (including, in the case of a registered public offering and to the extent possible, a copy of the prospectus included in the registration statement filed with respect to such offering), no later than five business days, as the case may be, after the initial filing of a registration statement with the SEC with respect to an underwritten public offering, after the commencement of marketing with respect to a Rule 144A offering or after the Company proposes to pursue any other offering. The Investor shall have 10 business days from the date of receipt of such a notice to notify the Company in writing that it intends to exercise its rights provided in this Section 4.3 and as to the amount of New Securities the Investor desires to purchase, up to the maximum amount calculated pursuant to Section 4.3(a). Such notice shall constitute a nonbinding indication of interest of the Investor to purchase the amount of New Securities so specified at the price and other terms set forth in the Company’s notice to it. The failure of the Investor to respond within such 10 business day period shall be deemed to be a waiver of the Investor’s rights under this Section 4.3 only with respect to the offering described in the applicable notice.

(c) Purchase Mechanism. If the Investor exercises its rights provided in this Section 4.3, the closing of the purchase of the New Securities with respect to which such right has been exercised shall take place within 30 calendar days after the giving of notice of such exercise, which period of time may be extended for a maximum of 30 days in order to comply with applicable laws and regulations (including receipt of any applicable regulatory or stockholder approvals). Each of the Company and the Investor agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts to secure any regulatory or stockholder approvals or other consents, and to comply with any law or regulation necessary in connection with the offer, sale and purchase of such New Securities.

(d) Failure of Purchase. In the event the Investor fails to exercise its rights provided in this Section 4.3 within the 10 day period described in Section 4.3(b) or, if so exercised, the Investor is unable to consummate such purchase within the time period specified in Section 4.3(c) above because of its failure to obtain any required regulatory or stockholder consent or approval, the Company shall thereafter be entitled during the period of 90 days following the conclusion of the applicable period to sell or enter into an agreement (pursuant to which the sale of the New Securities covered thereby shall be consummated, if at all, within 30 days from the date of such agreement) to sell the New Securities not elected to be purchased pursuant to this Section 4.3 or which the Investor is unable to purchase because of such failure to obtain any such consent or approval, at a price and upon other terms that, taken in the aggregate, are not more favorable to the purchasers of such securities than were specified in the Company’s notice to the Investor.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such sale is subject to the receipt of any regulatory or stockholder approval or consent or the expiration of any waiting period, the time period during which such sale may be consummated shall be extended until the expiration of five business days after all such approvals or consents have been obtained or waiting periods expired, but in no event shall such time period exceed 90 days from the date of the applicable agreement with respect to such sale. In the event the Company has not sold the New Securities or entered into an agreement to sell the New Securities within such 90-day period (or sold and issued New Securities in accordance with the foregoing within 30 days from the date of said agreement (as such period may be extended in the manner described above for a period not to exceed 90 days from the date of such agreement)), the Company shall not thereafter offer, issue or sell such New Securities without first offering such securities to the Investor in the manner provided above.

(e) Non-Cash Consideration. In the case of the offering of securities for a consideration in whole or in part other than cash, including securities acquired in exchange therefor (other than securities by their terms so exchangeable), the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair value thereof as determined by the Board of Directors; provided, however, that such fair value as determined by the Board of Directors shall not exceed the aggregate market price of the securities being offered as of the date the Board of Directors authorizes the offering of such securities.

4.4 Governance Matters. (a) The Company shall cause the Board Representative to be elected or appointed, subject to satisfaction of all legal and governance requirements regarding service as a director of the Company and the Bank and to the approval of the Company’s and Bank’s Nominating Committees (each the “Nominating Committee”) (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to the Board of Directors of the Company and the Bank as soon as reasonably practical following the Closing and thereafter as long as the Investor owns in aggregate 4.9% or more of the number of shares of common stock outstanding (the “Qualifying Ownership Interest”). For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge and agree that the rights granted to the Investor pursuant to this Section 4.4 are duplicative of those granted to the Investor pursuant to Section 4.4 of the Prior Investment Agreement, and the Investor shall not have or seek to have more than one representative on the Board of Directors of the Company or the Bank, including pursuant to the rights granted hereunder, the Prior Investment Agreement or otherwise. The Company shall be required to recommend to its stockholders the election of the Board Representative to the Board of Directors at all of the Company’s applicable annual meetings, subject to satisfaction of all legal and governance requirements regarding service as a director of the Company and the Bank and to the approval of the Nominating Committees (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If the Investor no longer has a Qualifying Ownership Interest, the Investor shall have no further rights under Sections 4.4(a) through 4.4(c) and, in each case, at the written request of the Board of Directors, shall use all reasonable best efforts to cause their Board Representative to resign from the Boards of Directors as promptly as possible thereafter. The Boards of Directors shall cause the Board Representative to be appointed to two committees of the Boards as shall be selected by the Board Representative, so long as the Board Representative qualifies to serve on such committees under the applicable rules of the NASDAQ, the SEC and the Company’s corporate governance guidelines and the charters of such committees; provided, however, at all times of service as a Director, the Board Representative shall not be eligible and is strictly prohibited from being nominated, elected or appointed to serve

as: (i) a Chairman of either of the Boards or as Chairman of any committee of either Board; (ii) a member of any committee of either Board if the Board Representative occupies more than 25% of the seats on the committee; or (iii) a member of any committee that has the authority or practical ability to unilaterally make (or block the making of) policy or other decisions that bind either Board, in each case so long as the Investor has a Qualifying Ownership Interest.

(b) The Board Representative shall, subject to applicable law, be the Company’s and the Nominating Committees nominees to serve on the Boards of Directors. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the Board Representative elected as a director of the Company by the stockholders of the Company and the Company shall solicit proxies for the Board Representative to the same extent as it does for any of its other nominees to the Board of Directors. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the Board Representative elected as a director of the Bank by the Company as the majority shareholder.

(c) Subject to Section 4.4(a), upon the death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office of the Board Representative, the Investor shall have the right to nominate a replacement for the Board Representative, which replacement shall satisfy all legal and governance requirements regarding service as a director of the Company and the Bank. The Board of Directors of the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to take all action required to fill the vacancy resulting therefrom with such person (including such person, subject to applicable law, being the Company’s and the Nominating Committee’s nominee to serve on the Board of Directors, using all reasonable best efforts to have such person elected as director of the Company by the stockholders of the Company and the Company soliciting proxies for such person to the same extent as it does for any of its other nominees to the Board of Directors).

(d) The Board Representative shall be entitled to the same compensation and same indemnification in connection with his or her role as a director as the other members of the Boards of Directors, and the Board Representative shall be entitled to reimbursement for documented, reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in attending meetings of the Boards of Directors or any committee thereof, to the same extent as the other members of the Boards of Directors. The Company shall notify the Board Representative of all regular meetings and special meetings of the Board of Directors and of all regular and special meetings of any committee of the Board of Directors of which the Board Representative is a member. The Company shall provide the Board Representative with copies of all notices, minutes, consents and other material that it provides to all other members of the Board of Directors concurrently as such materials are provided to the other members.

(e) For purposes of this Agreement, “Board Representative” means Jack Thompson or such successor as the Investor shall designate as provided herein. Until his appointment as a member of the Boards is effective, the Board Representative shall be entitled to attend Board meetings of the Company and the Bank as a non-voting observer. The appointment of the Board Representative as a director of the Company and the Bank shall be subject to Federal Reserve approval.

4.5 Legend.

(a) The Investor agrees that all certificates or other instruments representing the Securities subject to this Agreement shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect:

(i) “THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT WHILE A REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATING THERETO IS IN EFFECT UNDER SUCH ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT OR SUCH LAWS.

(ii) THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO TRANSFER AND OTHER RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN AN INVESTMENT AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF MARCH 23, 2012, COPIES OF WHICH ARE ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE ISSUER.”

(b) Upon request of the Investor, upon receipt by the Company of an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect that such legend is no longer required under the Securities Act or applicable state laws, as the case may be, the Company shall promptly cause clause (i) of the legend to be removed from any certificate for any Securities to be so transferred and clause (ii) of the legend shall be removed upon the expiration of such transfer and other restrictions set forth in this Agreement. The Investor acknowledges that the Securities purchased under this Agreement have not been registered under the Securities Act or under any state securities laws and agrees that it shall not sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Securities, except in compliance with the registration requirements or exemption provisions of the Securities Act and any other applicable securities laws.

4.6 Reserved.

4.7 Indemnity. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Investor and its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees and agents, and each person who controls the Investor within the meaning of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “Investor Indemnified Parties”), to the fullest extent lawful, from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, proceedings, costs, losses, liabilities, damages, expenses (including reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements), amounts paid in settlement and other costs (collectively, “Losses”) arising out of or resulting from (1) any inaccuracy in or breach of the Company’s representations, warranties or certifications, as applicable (x) in this Agreement or (y) in the certificate delivered pursuant to Section 1.3(c)(2)(vii) and (2) the Company’s breach of agreements or covenants made by the Company in this Agreement or (3) any Losses arising out of or resulting from any legal, administrative or other proceedings arising out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the terms of the Securities (other than any Losses attributable to the errors or omissions on the part of the Investor, but not including the transactions contemplated hereby and other than any Losses relating to any specific claim where proceedings are initiated by the Investor or any Investor Indemnified Party where the Investor or such Indemnified Party is not the substantially prevailing party with respect to such claim).

(b) The Investor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Company and its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees and agents, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “Company Indemnified Parties”), to the fullest extent lawful, from and against any and all Losses arising out of or resulting from (1) any inaccuracy in or breach of the Investor’s representations or warranties in this Agreement or (2) the Investor’s breach of agreements or covenants made by the Investor in this Agreement.

(c) A party entitled to indemnification hereunder (each, an “Indemnified Party”) shall give written notice to the party indemnifying it (the “Indemnifying Party”) of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification promptly after the discovery by such Indemnified Party of any matters giving rise to a claim for indemnification; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 4.7 unless and to the extent that the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually prejudiced by the failure of such Indemnified Party to so notify such party. Such notice shall describe in reasonable detail such claim. In case any such action, suit, claim or proceeding is brought against an Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to hire, at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party counsel and conduct the defense thereof; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall only be liable for the legal fees and expenses of one law firm for all Indemnified Parties, taken together with regard to any single action or group of related actions. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any claim, all Indemnified Parties shall thereafter deliver to the Indemnifying Party copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the claim, and any Indemnified Party shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution of such claim. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the Indemnifying Party’s request) the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information that are reasonably relevant to such claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, suit, claim or proceeding effected without its written consent; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. The Indemnifying Party further agrees that it shall not, without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of any judgment in respect thereof in any pending or threatened action, suit, claim or proceeding in respect of which indemnification has been sought hereunder unless such settlement or compromise includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such action, suit, claim or proceeding.

(d) The Company shall not be required to indemnify any Investor Indemnified Party for any claims pursuant to Section 4.7(a)(1) if the amount of Losses incurred with respect to such claims are less than $25,000 in the aggregate, in which event the Company shall be responsible for the amount of all such claims. The Investor shall not be required to indemnify any Company Indemnified Parties for any claims pursuant to Section 4.7(b)(1) if the amount of Losses incurred with respect to such claims are less than $25,000 in the aggregate, in which event the Investor shall be responsible for all such claims.

(e) No indemnity obligation under this Section 4.7 shall result from a breach of the representation set forth in Sections 2.2(a), 2.2(b), 2.2(c), 2.2(d), 2.3(a) or 2.3(b). The cumulative indemnification obligation of (1) the Company to all of the Investor Indemnified Parties or (2) the Investor to all of the Company Indemnified Parties, in each case, for inaccuracies in or breaches of representations and warranties, shall in no event exceed the Purchase Price.

(f) The obligations of the Indemnifying Party under this Section 4.7 shall survive the Transfer, redemption or conversion of the Securities issued pursuant to this Agreement, or the closing or termination of this Agreement and any other Transaction Document. The indemnity provided for in this Section 4.7 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy, except as provided for in Section 6.16, of Indemnified Parties after the Closing for any inaccuracy of any representation or warranty or any other breach of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement; provided, that nothing herein shall limit in any way any such party’s remedies in respect of intentional and willful fraud, intentional and willful misrepresentation or omission or intentional and willful misconduct by the other party in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. No party to this Agreement (or any of its Affiliates) shall, in any event, be liable or otherwise responsible to any other party to this Agreement (or any of its Affiliates) for any consequential (i.e., speculative damages and damages and expenses that arise solely from special circumstances of the Indemnified Party that have not been communicated to the Indemnified Party) or punitive damages of such other party (or any of its Affiliates) arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the performance or breach hereof, except the foregoing limitation on punitive damages shall not apply if such damages are sought as a result of a claim brought by a Person or entity not a party to this Agreement. The indemnification rights contained in this Section 4.7 are not limited or deemed waived by any investigation or knowledge by the Indemnified Party prior to or after the date hereof.

(g) Any indemnification payments pursuant to this Section 4.7 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for the Securities for U.S. federal income and applicable state and local Tax purposes, unless a different treatment is required by applicable law.

4.11 Voting and Equity. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Investor together with its Affiliates shall not have the ability to own, control or hold the power to vote any Voting Securities equal to or in excess of the percentage of the total outstanding Voting Securities of the Company owned or controlled by the shareholder then holding the largest percentage of the total outstanding Voting Securities of the Company (which percentage limit shall not be reduced by the amount of any Voting Securities or any security that by its terms can be converted into or is exercisable for Voting Securities that has been sold or transferred by the

Investor or any of its Affiliates) unless the Investor has made all the required filings and received all the required approvals contemplated by Section 3.1(a), and shall not acquire any equity in the Company in excess of 24.9% of the total outstanding equity of the Company unless the Investor has received all the required approvals contemplated by Section 3.1(a).

4.12 Additional Regulatory Matters. So long as the Investor has a Qualifying Ownership Interest:

(a) each of the Company and the Investor agree to cooperate and use its reasonable best efforts to communicate with each other with respect to their respective purchases of equity capital securities of the Company with the objective, among other things, that Company repurchases not cause the Investor or its Affiliates to be deemed to become, or “control”, a “bank holding company” with respect to the Company and its Affiliates within the meaning of the BHC Act or CIBC Act, including the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (or any successor provision);

(b) the Company shall not take any action, (including, any redemption, repurchase or recapitalization of common stock, of securities or rights, options, or warrants to purchase common stock, or securities of any type whatsoever that are, or may become, convertible into or exchangeable into or exercisable for common stock in each case, where the Investor is not given the right to participate in such redemption, repurchase or recapitalization to the extent of the Investor’s pro rata proportion) that, based on the advice of legal, could cause the Investor or any of its Affiliates to be deemed to become, or “control”, a “bank holding company” with respect to the Company and its Affiliates within the meaning of the BHC Act or CIBC Act, including the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (or any successor provision); provided, however, that the Company shall not be deemed to have violated this Section 4.12(b) if it has given the Investor the opportunity to participate in such redemption, recapitalization or repurchase to the extent the Investor’s pro rata proportion and the Investor fails to so participate; and

(c) the Investor shall not take, permit or allow any action that would cause the Bank to become a “commonly controlled insured depository institution” (as that term is defined for purposes of 12 U.S.C. §1815(e), as may be amended or supplemented from time to time, and any successor thereto).

In the event that either party hereto, as applicable, breaches its obligations under this Section 4.12 or believes that it is reasonably likely to breach such obligations, it shall immediately notify the other party and shall cooperate in good faith with such other party to modify an ownership or other arrangements or take any other action, in each case, as is necessary to cure or avoid such breach.

4.13 Most Favored Nation. Subject to Section 4.13 of the Disclosure Schedule, the Company shall not offer any investors in other private placements, or any other capital raising transaction occurring at the same time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, terms more favorable, in fonn or substance, than those offered in connection with the Investment, unless the Investor is also provided with such terms.

4.14 No Change in Control. The Company shall and shall cause the Bank to take all actions necessary to ensure that none of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or other private placements, if any, individually or in the aggregate, shall give rise to a change in control under, or result in the breach or the violation of or the acceleration of any right under, or result in any additional rights, or the triggering of any antidilution adjustment under any Stock Plans, or employment agreements or any other contract or agreement to which the Company or the Bank is a party, including without limitation having any such contracts or agreements waived in writing or amended prior to Closing.

4.18 Certain Other Transactions.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not directly or indirectly effect or cause to be effected any transaction with a third party that would reasonably be expected to result in a Change in Control unless such third party shall have provided prior assurance in writing to the Investor (in a form that is reasonably satisfactory to the Investor) that the terms of this Agreement shall be fully performed (i) by the Company or (ii) by such third party if it is the successor of the Company or if the Company is its direct or indirect subsidiary. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that, in the event that a Change in Control occurs on or prior to the Closing, the Investor shall maintain the right under this Agreement to acquire, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Securities (or such shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) into which the Securities may have become exchangeable as a result of such Change in Control), as if the Closing had occurred immediately prior to such Change in Control.

(b) In the event that, at or prior to the Closing, (i) the number of shares of common stock or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for shares of common stock issued and outstanding is changed as a result of any reclassification, stock split (including reverse split), stock dividend or distribution (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for shares of common stock), merger, tender or exchange offer or other similar transaction, (ii) the Company fixes a record date that is at or prior to the Closing Date for the payment of any non-stock dividend or distribution on the common stock, then at the Investor’s option, which may be exercised in the Investor’s sole discretion, the number of shares of Securities to be issued to the Investor at the Closing under this Agreement shall be equitably adjusted and/or the shares of Securties to be issued to the Investor at the Closing or pursuant to Section 4.6 under this Agreement shall be equitably substituted with shares of other stock or securities or property (including cash), in each case, to provide the Investor with substantially the same economic benefit from this Agreement as the Investor had prior to the applicable transaction. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the Purchase Price or any component thereof be changed by the foregoing.

(d) Reserved.

(e) Until the first day of a taxable year of the Company to which the Board of Directors determines that no Tax Benefit of the Company, or any direct or indirect subsidiary thereof, may be carried forward, the Company shall not take any action with respect to its stock or any “options” (within the meaning of Section 1.382-4(d) of the Treasury Regulations) to acquire its stock following the Closing, unless the Company shall have first received an unqualified opinion (based on reasonable assumptions and factual representations) of nationally recognized tax counsel or a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service, in either case to the effect that such action would not cause an “ownership change” of the Company (within the meaning of Section 382(g) of the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations), taking into account the maximum reasonably expected effect of the exercise of any outstanding “options” (as defined above).

(f) Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 4.18 shall not be triggered by (i) the transactions contemplated by the Offering, (ii) any issuances of options, restricted stock units or other equity-based awards granted to newly-appointed directors, employees or consultants of the Company at or around the same time as the Investment, (iii) any other private placements of Securities by the Company at or about the same time as the transaction contemplated by the Offering, or (iv) the issuance of Securities to such persons described in (ii), including upon exercise of any such options (not to exceed 2.5% of the capital stock of the Company on a fully-diluted basis).

4.19 Reserved.

4.20 Non-Voting Shares. The Company shall authorize non-voting shares of its capital stock (including shares of Non-Voting Common Stock), with terms and conditions otherwise materially equivalent to the terms and conditions applicable to its Voting Common Stock, as are required by the Company and the Investor in order to comply with the terms of this Agreement and the implicit rights of the Investor under this Agreement to convert or exchange any portion of the Voting Common Stock held by it to or for non-voting shares, by the issuance of nonvoting shares under certain conditions if regulatory approval for the acquisition of additional voting shares or the continued holding of any portion of the Voting Common Stock held by the Investor cannot be reasonably obtained. The Investor shall have the right, upon notice to the Company, to convert all or a portion of voting shares held by the Investor into an equivalent number of non-voting shares (which non-voting shares shall not be convertible into or exchangible for Voting Securities). Any such non-voting shares will be subject to certain transfer restrictions, and shall not be transferred or disposed of by the Investor or any of its Affiliates except as follows: (A) in a widely distributed public offering that is registered under the Securities Act; (B) to a person that is acquiring a majority of the Company’s voting securities; or (C) to a person who shall not, after giving effect to such transfer, own more than 2% of any class of voting securities of the Company.

4.21 Cooperation. The Company and the Investor shall cooperate in good faith and the Company shall use its best efforts to facilitate the exercise of the Investor’s rights under Sections 4.3, and 4.20, including, but not limited to, securing any required approvals or consents or issuing non-voting shares or converting voting shares to non-voting shares, as appropriate, to achieve the intent of these sections through the issuance of non-voting shares.
