2.1.1.    Certain Terms. The Lender agrees to provide the Subordinated Debt from Borrower on the Closing Date in accordance with the terms of, and subject to the conditions set forth in, this Agreement and the Subordinated Note. The Subordinated Debt shall be disbursed in accordance with Section 3.1. The Subordinated Debt shall bear interest per annum at the rate and in the manner set forth in Section 2.6 and Section 2.7 hereof. The unpaid principal balance of the Subordinated Debt plus all accrued but unpaid interest thereon shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date, or such earlier date on which such amount shall become due and payable on account of acceleration by Lender in accordance with the terms of the Subordinated Note or this Agreement.

2.1.2.    Subordination. The Subordinated Note shall be subordinated in accordance with the subordination provisions set forth therein and as otherwise required in order that the Subordinated Debt shall constitute Tier 2 Capital. In the event of any conflict between the Transaction Documents, on one hand, and any statute, regulation, policy or pronouncement of or applicable to the FRB concerning or related to Tier 2 Capital, on the other hand, such FRB statute, regulation, policy or pronouncement shall control. If all or any portion of the Note ceases to be deemed to be Tier 2 Capital under the risk-based capital rules of the FRB as in effect as of the date of this Purchase Agreement, other than due to the limitation imposed on the capital treatment of subordinated debt during the five years immediately preceding the Maturity Date of the Note, Borrower will immediately notify Lender, and thereafter Borrower and Lender will work together in good faith to develop such modifications to the applicable portions of the obligations evidenced by the Note as are reasonably acceptable to Lender in order for the Note to continue to qualify as Tier 2 Capital.

2.2.    The Subordinated Note. The Facility shall be further evidenced by the Subordinated Note, to be executed and delivered to Lender by Borrower contemporaneously herewith.

2.3.    Maturity Date. On the Maturity Date, all sums due and owing under this Agreement and the other Transaction Document with respect to the Subordinated Note shall be repaid in full. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender has not made any commitments, either express or implied, to extend the terms of the Facility past its Maturity Date, and shall not extend such terms beyond the Maturity Date unless Borrower and Lender hereafter specifically otherwise agree in writing.

2.4.    Unsecured Facility. The obligations of Borrower to Lender under the Subordinated Note shall be unsecured.

2.5.    The Closing. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents (the “Closing”) shall occur at the offices of at 10:00 a.m. (local time) on the Closing Date, or at such other place or time or on such other date as the parties hereto may agree.

2.6.    Interest Payments. From the date hereof through January 30, 2025, the outstanding principal balance of and any overdue principal and interest on the Facility shall bear interest per annum at the Initial Interest Rate of 6.00% per annum and beginning on January 31, 2025 through the Maturity Date, the outstanding principal balance of any overdue principal and interest shall bear interest at the Adjusted Interest Rate. Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date at the rates and under the circumstances set forth herein. The initial Interest Payment Date shall be on March 1, 2015.

2.7.    Computation of Interest. Interest shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which interest accrues and a year of 360 days. In computing interest, the date of funding shall be included and the date of payment (with respect to the amount timely paid on such date) shall be excluded. The parties hereto intend to conform strictly to applicable usury laws as in effect from time to time during the term of the Facility. Accordingly, if the transaction contemplated hereby would be usurious under applicable law (including the laws of the United States of America, or of any other jurisdiction whose laws may be mandatorily applicable), then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Subordinated Note, Borrower and Lender agree that the aggregate of all consideration that constitutes interest under applicable law that is contracted for, charged or received under or in connection with this Agreement shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable law, and any excess shall be credited to Borrower by Lender (or if such consideration shall have been paid in full, such excess refunded to Borrower by Lender).

2.8.    Payments on Non-Business Days. Whenever any payment to be made by Borrower hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, payments shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest hereunder.

2.9.    Application of Payments. All payments received by Lender from or on behalf of Borrower shall be applied first to amounts due to Lender to reimburse Lender’s costs and expenses, including those pursuant to Section 5.4 or Section 8.4, second to accrued interest under the Subordinated Note, and third to principal amounts outstanding under the Subordinated Note; provided, however, subject to Section 8.1.3 of this Agreement, that after the date on which the final payment of principal with respect to the Facility is due or following and during any Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default, all payments received on account of Borrower’s Liabilities shall be applied in whatever order, combination and amounts as Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, decides, to all costs, expenses and other indebtedness owing to Lender.

2.10.    Reserved.

2.11.    Redemption. Commencing on or after the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, Borrower may, upon at least five (5) Business Days’ notice to Lender, redeem all or a portion of the principal amount outstanding under the Subordinated Debt by paying the principal amount to be prepaid, together with unpaid accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption. With respect to the premature redemption of Subordinated Debt, Borrower shall pay Lender an amount in cash equal to (i) 104.0% of the principal amount of Subordinated Debt to be redeemed on or after

January 30, 2020 but before January 30, 2022, (ii) 103.0% of the principal amount of Subordinated Debt to be redeemed if redeemed on or after January 30, 2022 but before January 30, 2025; and (iii) 100.0% of the principal amount of Subordinated Debt to be redeemed if redeemed on or after January 30, 2025 but before the Maturity Date, in each case plus unpaid interest accrued thereon to such redemption date. Borrower acknowledges, under current applicable regulations, it may not retire its obligations hereunder without the prior receipt of non-objection or other evidence of acquiescence from the FRB or other primary regulator (including payment at maturity, or pursuant to an acceleration clause or redemption prior to maturity). Borrower further acknowledges that Lender shall have no responsibility to verify whether Borrower has obtained any such non-objection or other evidence of acquiescence.

2.12.    Right of Offset. Lender hereby expressly waives any right of offset or recoupment it may have against Borrower.

The issuance of the Subordinated Debt, the borrowing of the principal amount of the Facility, the execution of this Agreement and the other Transaction Document and compliance by Borrower with all of the provisions of this Agreement and of the other Transaction Document are within the corporate and other powers of Borrower. This Agreement and the other Transaction Document to which Borrower is a party have been duly authorized, executed and delivered, and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties thereto, are the legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower, enforceable in accordance with their terms.

4.2.2.    No Defaults or Restrictions. Neither the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents nor compliance with their terms and conditions will (a) violate, conflict with or result in a breach of, or constitute a default under: (i) any of the terms, obligations, covenants, conditions or provisions of any corporate restriction or of any contract, agreement, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, pledge, bank loan or credit agreement, charter, bylaw or any other agreement or instrument to which Borrower, Bank or any Subsidiary of Borrower or Bank is now a party or by which any of them or any of their properties may be bound or affected; (ii) any judgment, order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any court, arbitrator, grand jury, or Governmental Agency; or (iii) any statute, rule or regulation applicable to Borrower or Bank, except, in each such case, for such violations and conflicts that would not reasonably be expected to have, singularly or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower or Bank, or (b) result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance of any nature whatsoever upon any property or asset of Borrower, Bank or any Subsidiary of Borrower or Bank, except for such liens, charges and encumbrances that would not reasonably be expected to have, singularly or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower or Bank. None of Borrower, Bank or any Subsidiary of Borrower or Bank is in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the terms, obligations, covenants, conditions or provisions contained in any indenture or other agreement creating, evidencing or securing Indebtedness of any kind or pursuant to which any such Indebtedness is issued, or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower, Bank or any Subsidiary of Borrower or Bank is a party or by which Borrower, Bank or any Subsidiary of Borrower or Bank or their respective properties may be bound or affected, except, in each

case, only such defaults that would not reasonably be expected to have, singularly or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower or Bank.

4.2.3.    Governmental Consent. No governmental orders, permissions, consents, approvals or authorizations are required to be obtained by Borrower or Bank that have not been obtained, and no registrations or declarations are required to be filed by Borrower or Bank in connection with, or, contemplation of, the execution and delivery of, and performance under, this Agreement and the other Transaction Document that have not been filed, other than such orders, permissions, consents, approvals, authorizations, registrations and declarations that would not reasonably be expected to have, singularly or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower or Bank.

Each of Borrower, Bank and the Subsidiaries of Borrower or Bank possesses such permits, licenses, approvals, consents and other authorizations (collectively, “Governmental Licenses”) issued by the appropriate Governmental Agencies necessary to conduct the business now operated by it, except where the failure to possess such Governmental Licenses would not, singularly or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower or Bank; each of the Borrower, Bank and their respective Subsidiaries is in compliance with the terms and conditions of all such Governmental Licenses, except where the failure so to comply would not, singularly or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower or Bank; all of the Governmental Licenses are valid and in full force and effect, except when the invalidity of such Governmental Licenses or the failure of such Governmental Licenses to be in full force and effect would not have a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower or Bank; and neither Borrower nor Bank nor any Subsidiary of Borrower or Bank has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any such Governmental Licenses which, singularly or in the aggregate, in the reasonable judgment of Borrower, is likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower or Bank.

4.4.    Financial Condition.

4.4.1.    Borrower Financial Statements. Borrower has made available to Lender copies of its consolidated and consolidating financial statements (the “2013 Financial Statements”) as of and for the 12 months ended December 31, 2013 audited by Borrower’s Accountant. The 2013 Financial Statements are true and correct in all material respects, have been prepared by the Borrower’s Accountant in accordance with the respective books of account and records of Borrower, Bank and their Subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with applicable banking regulations, rules and guidelines and with GAAP on a basis consistent with prior periods, and fairly and accurately present in all material respects the consolidated financial condition of Borrower, Bank and their Subsidiaries and their assets and liabilities and the results of their operations as of, and for the period ending at, such date. In addition, Borrower has delivered or made available to Lender copies of its consolidated and consolidating financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2014 (“2014 Financial Statements” and together with the Borrower 2013 Financial Statements, the “Borrower Financial Statements”). The 2014 Financial Statements are true and correct in all material respects, have been prepared in accordance with the respective books of account

and records of Borrower, Bank and their Subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with applicable banking regulations, rules and guidelines and with GAAP, without footnotes and subject to yearend adjustments, on a basis consistent with prior periods, and, to Borrower’s Knowledge, fairly and accurately present in all material respects the financial condition of Borrower, Bank and their Subsidiaries and their assets and liabilities and the results of their operations as of, and for the period ending at, such date. The Borrower Financial Statements contain and reflect provisions for taxes, reserves and other liabilities of Borrower and Bank in accordance with applicable banking regulations, rules and guidelines, respectively, except for such provisions that would not reasonably be expected to have, singularly or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower or Bank. Neither Borrower nor Bank has any material debt, liability or obligation of any nature (whether accrued, contingent, absolute or otherwise) which is not provided for or disclosed in the Borrower Financial Statements.

4.4.2.    Absence of Default. No event has occurred which either of itself or with the lapse of time or the giving of notice or both, would give any creditor of Borrower the right to accelerate the maturity of any material Indebtedness of Borrower or Bank. Neither Borrower nor Bank is in default under any other lease, agreement or instrument, or any law, rule, regulation, order, writ, injunction, decree, determination or award, non-compliance with which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower or Bank.

4.4.3.    Loans. To Borrower’s Knowledge, each loan having an outstanding balance of more than $2,500,000 and reflected as an asset of Borrower or Bank in the Borrower Financial Statements is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the obligor named therein, enforceable in accordance with its terms. To Borrower’s Knowledge, (a) no obligor named therein is seeking to avoid the enforceability of the terms of any loan, and (b) no loan having an unpaid balance (principal and accrued interest) in excess of $2,500,000 is subject to any defense, offset or counterclaim.

4.4.4.    Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses of Bank shown in the Borrower Financial Statements has been established in a manner consistent with past practices and in accordance with applicable regulatory guidelines and, to the best of Borrower’s Knowledge, is adequate in all material respects to provide for losses, net of recoveries relating to loans previously charged off, on loans and leases outstanding as of the date of such statements or reports.

4.4.5.    Solvency. After giving effect to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Borrower and Bank each has working capital sufficient to carry on its business and transactions and all businesses and transactions in which it is about to engage and is solvent and able to pay its debts as they mature. No transfer of property is being made and no Indebtedness is being incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud either present or future creditors of Borrower, Bank or any Subsidiary of Borrower or Bank.

Accordingly, if the transaction contemplated hereby would be usurious under applicable law (including the laws of the United States of America, or of any other jurisdiction whose laws may be mandatorily applicable), then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Subordinated Note, Borrower and Lender agree that the aggregate of all consideration that constitutes interest under applicable law that is contracted for, charged or received under or in connection with this Agreement shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable law, and any excess shall be credited to Borrower by Lender (or if such consideration shall have been paid in full, such excess refunded to Borrower by Lender). To the extent that Lender receives any payment on account of Borrower’s Liabilities and any such payment(s) and/or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, subordinated and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any bankruptcy act, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such payment(s) or proceeds received, Borrower’s Liabilities or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment(s) and/or proceeds had not been received by Lender and applied on account of Borrower’s Liabilities; provided, however, if Lender successfully contests any such invalidation, declaration, set aside, subordination or other order to pay any such payment and/or proceeds to any third party, the revived Borrower’s Liabilities shall be deemed satisfied.

9.7.    Notices. Any notice which any party hereto may be required or may desire to give hereunder shall be deemed to have been given if in writing and if delivered personally, or if mailed,

postage prepaid, by United States registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or if delivered by a responsible overnight courier, addressed:

or to such other address or addresses as the party to be given notice may have furnished in writing to the party seeking or desiring to give notice, as a place for the giving of notice, provided that no change in address shall be effective until seven (7) days after being given to the other party in the manner provided for above. Any notice given in accordance with the foregoing shall be deemed given when delivered personally or, if mailed, five (5) Business Days after it shall have been deposited in the United States mails as aforesaid or, if sent by overnight courier, the Business Day following the date of delivery to such courier.

9.8.    Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns except that, unless Lender consents in writing, no assignment made by Borrower in violation of this Agreement shall be effective or confer any rights on any purported assignee of Borrower. For purposes of this Section 9.8 a successor-in-interest of Borrower by means of an acquisition, merger, consolidation or similar transaction shall not require approval of Lender.

9.9.    No Joint Venture. Nothing contained herein or in any document executed pursuant hereto and no action or inaction whatsoever on the part of a Lender, shall be deemed to make Lender a partner or joint venturer with Borrower.

9.12.    Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Nothing herein shall be deemed

to limit any rights, powers or privileges which Lender may have pursuant to any law of the United States of America or The Commonwealth of Massachusetts or any rule, regulation or order of any department or agency thereof and nothing herein shall be deemed to make unlawful any transaction or conduct by Lender which is lawful pursuant to, or which is permitted by, any of the foregoing.

9.13.    Legal Reimbursement. If any attorney is engaged by Lender to enforce or defend any provision of this Agreement and the Subordinated Note, or as a consequence of any Event of Default, with or without the filing of any legal action or proceeding, then Borrower shall pay to Lender immediately upon demand all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, together with interest thereon from the date of such demand until paid at the rate of interest applicable to the principal balance owing hereunder as if such unpaid attorneys’ fees and expenses had been added to the principal.

9.14.    No Third Party Beneficiary. This Agreement is made for the sole benefit of Borrower and Lender, and no other person shall be deemed to have any privity of contract hereunder nor any right to rely hereon to any extent or for any purpose whatsoever, nor shall any other person have any right of action of any kind hereon or be deemed to be a third party beneficiary hereunder.

9.15.    Legal Tender of United States. All payments hereunder shall be made in coin or currency which at the time of payment is legal tender in the United States of America for public and private debts.

9.18.    Waiver Of Right To Jury Trial. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, BORROWER HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT THAT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION ARISING IN ANY WAY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SUBORDINATED NOTE, OR ANY OTHER STATEMENTS OR ACTIONS OF BORROWER OR LENDER. BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN REPRESENTED IN THE SIGNING OF THIS AGREEMENT AND IN THE MAKING OF THIS
