For the purposes of this Agreement, “Voting Securities” shall have such meaning as defined in 12 C.F.R. 225.2(q)(1) and “Nonvoting Securities” shall have such meaning as defined in 12 C.F.R. 225.2(q)(2), as may be amended or modified from time to time.

(b) In the event that the Company breaches its obligations under Section 3.12(a) or believes that it is reasonably likely to breach such obligations, it shall notify the Investor as promptly as practicable and shall cooperate in good faith with the Investor to modify any ownership or other arrangements or take any other action, in each case, as is necessary to cure or avoid such breach, in accordance with Sections 3.12(c) and 3.12(d).

(c) In the event of (i) a determination by the Investor, based on advice of counsel (including internal counsel) that (A) it is impermissible under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “ BHC Act ”) or other applicable law or regulatory or supervisory guidance for the Investor to continue to hold, directly or indirectly, any Shares (or a type, class or series of such Shares), or (B) such continued holding of the Shares (or a type, class or series of such Shares) would be reasonably likely to result in the imposition of conditions or restrictions on the Investor’s activities or regulatory or supervisory requirements on the Investor arising under the BHC Act or other applicable law or regulatory or supervisory guidance (including any requirement that the Investor obtain an approval under the BHC Act); or (ii) the occurrence of any of the following: (A) a determination by the Federal Reserve that the Investor “controls” the Company (as “control” is used for purposes of the BHC Act), or an affirmative indication that the Federal Reserve would likely take such a view (through published guidance or other supervisory communications); (B) any other regulatory requirement, instruction or request by a Governmental Entity having jurisdiction over the Investor that the Investor divest or reduce its equity interest in the Company; or (B) a determination by the Investor, based on the advice of counsel (including internal counsel) that divesting or reducing its equity interest in the Company is necessary or advisable to satisfy legal and/or regulatory requirements or supervisory expectations) (any occurrence referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above, a “Regulatory Trigger Event”), then the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to consult and cooperate with the Investor in order to restructure the Investor’s investment in the Company in a manner that avoids or remediates the matters giving rise to the Regulatory Trigger Event to the reasonable satisfaction of the Investor, taking account of legal or regulatory restrictions applicable to the Company. If any such avoidance or remediation involves the sale by the Investor of all or a portion of the Shares to a third party, then the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate such sale and transfer, including by making the Company’s management reasonably available during normal business hours to the prospective purchaser(s) of the Shares and providing customary due diligence material, subject to customary confidentiality undertakings.

(d) The Investor may, at any time following a Regulatory Trigger Event, elect to voluntarily surrender to the Company any or all of the Shares (a “ Voluntary Tender ”). The Company shall, upon written notice of the Investor’s intention to effect a Voluntary Tender, accept the tender of such Shares as a contribution to the Company for no consideration on the part of the Investor. The Company shall accept all such Shares specified in such Voluntary Tender as soon as practicable; provided, that to the extent that the Board of Directors determines that the acceptance of such Voluntary Tender would have a Material Adverse Effect or cause any other shareholder of the Company to be in violation of any applicable law, regulation or supervisory guidance, then the Company, the relevant shareholder (if applicable) and the Investor shall consult and cooperate to find a mutually agreeable solution to effect the Voluntary Tender or otherwise avoid or remediate the relevant Regulatory Trigger Event as promptly as practicable. The exercise of a Voluntary Tender shall be within the Investor’s sole and exclusive discretion and shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other remedies available to the Investor under this Agreement.

The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), consent to a settlement, compromise or discharge of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third Party Claim, unless such settlement, compromise, discharge or entry of any judgment does not involve any statement, finding or admission of any fault, culpability, failure to act, violation of Law or admission of any wrongdoing by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party, and the Indemnifying Party shall (i) pay or cause to be paid all amounts arising out of such settlement or judgment concurrently with the effectiveness of such settlement or judgment (unless otherwise provided in such judgment), (ii) not encumber any of the assets of any Indemnified Party or agree to any restriction or condition that would apply to or materially adversely affect any Indemnified Party or the conduct of any Indemnified Party’s business and (iii) obtain, as a condition of any settlement, compromise, discharge, entry of judgment (if applicable), or other resolution, a complete and unconditional release of each Indemnified Party in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party from any and all liabilities in respect of such Third Party Claim. An Indemnified Party shall not settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any claim or demand for which it is seeking indemnification from the Indemnifying Party or admit to any liability with respect to such claim or demand without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, that such consent shall not be required if the Indemnifying Party has not fulfilled any material obligations under this Section 5.3(b).

(c) In the event any Indemnifying Party receives a notice of a claim for indemnity from an Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 5.3(a) that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party within twenty (20) Business Days following its receipt of such notice whether the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party under this Agreement.
