Company Actions The Company hereby consents to the Offer and represents and warrants that (a) its Board of Directors (at a meeting duly called and held), has (i) determined that the Offer and the Merger are fair to and in the best interests of the stockholders of the Company, (ii) resolved to approve the Offer and the Merger and recommend (subject to its fiduciary duties after taking into account advice of legal counsel) acceptance of the Offer and approval and adoption of this Agreement by such stockholders of the Company, (iii) taken all necessary steps to render Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") inapplicable to the Merger, (iv) resolved to elect not to be subject, to the extent permitted by law, to any state takeover law other than Section 203 of the DGCL that may purport to be applicable to the Offer, the Merger or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (v) approved the Company Rights Agreement Amendment (as defined below), and (b) Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx Securities Corporation ("DLJ"), the Company's financial advisor, has advised the Company's Board of Directors that, in their opinion, the consideration to be paid in the Offer and the Merger to the Company's stockholders is fair, from a financial point of view, to such stockholders. Upon commencement of the Offer, the Company shall file with the SEC a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 (the "Schedule 14D-9") containing the recommendations of its Board of Directors in favor of the Offer and the Merger and shall permit the inclusion in the Offer Documents of such recommendations, in each case subject to the fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors of the Company. The Company, IHK and Merger Sub will promptly correct any information provided by them for use in the Schedule 14D-9 that becomes false or misleading in any material respect, and the Company will take all steps necessary to cause the Schedule 14D-9 as so corrected to be filed with the SEC and to be disseminated to holders of shares of Company Common Stock, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable law. IHK and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Schedule 14D-9 prior to its filing with the SEC. The Company agrees to provide IHK with any comments that may be received from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Schedule 14D-9 and any amendments thereto, promptly after receipt thereof.
Filings; Other Actions The Investor, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, will cooperate and consult with the other and use reasonable best efforts to prepare and file all necessary and customary documentation, to effect all necessary and customary applications, notices, petitions, filings and other documents, and to obtain all necessary and customary permits, consents, orders, approvals and authorizations of, or exemptions from, all Governmental Entities (and, solely with respect to the Company, the Bankruptcy Court) and third parties, (i) necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including all transactions that are conditions to Closing hereunder) or the Other Private Placements, and to perform the covenants contemplated by this Agreement to be performed by it and (ii) with respect to the Investor, to the extent typically provided by the Investor to such third parties or Governmental Entities, as applicable, under the Investor’s policies consistently applied and subject to such confidentiality requests as the Investor may reasonably seek. Each of the parties hereto shall execute and deliver both before and after the Closing such further certificates, agreements and other documents and take such other actions as the other parties may reasonably request to consummate or implement such transactions or to evidence such events or matters, subject, in each case, to clauses (i) and (ii) of the first sentence of this Section 3.1. The Investor and the Company will each use its reasonable best efforts to promptly obtain or submit, and the Company and the Investor will cooperate as may reasonably be requested by the Investor or the Company, as the case may be, to help the Investor and the Company promptly obtain or submit, as the case may be, as promptly as practicable, the approvals and authorizations of, any additional filings and registrations with, and any additional notifications to, all notices to and, to the extent required by laws, rules, regulations, consents, approvals or exemptions from Governmental Entities (and, solely with respect to the Company, the Bankruptcy Court) or third parties, subject, in each case, to clauses (i) and (ii) of the first sentence of this Section 3.1. In furtherance of the foregoing, if required, the Investor and the Company shall make all necessary applications, notices, petitions, filings and other documents in connection with the Required Approvals required to be obtained by it, not later than five (5) business days following the date of this Agreement, and the Investor and the Company shall use, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to use, reasonable best efforts to, as promptly as possible, respond fully to all requests for additional information from the Federal Reserve or the OCC. The Investor and the Company will each have the right to review in advance, and to the extent practicable, each will consult with the other, in each case subject to applicable laws relating to the exchange of information and confidential information related to the Investor or the Company, all the information (other than confidential information) relating to such other party, and any of their respective Affiliates, which appears in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any third party or any Governmental Entity (other than public filings with the Bankruptcy Court) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that the Company shall not allow any other investor in the Other Private Placements to review any such information relating to the Investor. In exercising the foregoing right, each of the parties hereto agrees to act reasonably and as promptly as practicable. Each party hereto agrees to keep the other party apprised of the status of matters relating to completion of the transactions contemplated hereby. The Investor and the Company shall promptly furnish each other to the extent permitted by applicable laws with copies of written communications received by them or their Affiliates from, or delivered by any of the foregoing to, any Governmental Entity (other than public filings with the Bankruptcy Court) in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided that the party delivering any such document may redact any confidential information contained therein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing contained in this Agreement shall require the Investor or any of its Affiliates to (i) take any action that would result in the Investor or any of its Affiliates being deemed to control the Company or the Bank for purposes of the Change in Bank Control Act of 1978, the HOLA or the cross-guaranty liability provisions of the FDI Act, or that would require any such entity to register as a savings and loan holding company, (ii) take or refrain from taking or agree to take or refrain from taking any action or suffer to exist any condition, limitation, restriction or requirement that would result in a Burdensome Condition or (iii) provide to the Company any of its, its Affiliates’, its investment advisor’s or its or their control persons’ or equity holders’ nonpublic, proprietary, personal or otherwise confidential information including the identities of limited partners, shareholders or members of the Investor or its Affiliates or their investment advisors. So long as the Investor holds any securities of the Company, the Company will not, without the consent of the Investor, take any action, directly or indirectly through its subsidiaries or otherwise, that the Board of Directors believes in good faith would reasonably be expected to cause the Investor to be subject to transfer restrictions or other covenants of the FDIC Statement of Policy on Qualifications for Failed Bank Acquisitions as in effect at the time of taking such action or thereunder.
Adverse Actions Take any action or fail to take any action that is intended or is reasonably likely to result in (i) any of its representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement being or becoming untrue in any material respect at any time at or prior to the Effective Time, (ii) any of the conditions to the Merger set forth in Article VI not being satisfied or (iii) a material violation of any provision of this Agreement, except, in each case, as may be required by applicable law or regulation.
Officers and Trustees’ Good Faith Action, Expert Advice, No Bond or Surety The exercise by the Trustees of their powers and discretions hereunder shall be binding upon everyone interested. An officer or Trustee shall be liable to the Trust and to any Shareholder solely for such officer’s or Trustee’s own willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of the office of such officer or Trustee, and for nothing else, and shall not be liable for errors of judgment or mistakes of fact or law. The officers and Trustees may obtain the advice of counsel or other experts with respect to the meaning and operation of this Declaration of Trust and their duties as officers or Trustees. No such officer or Trustee shall be liable for any act or omission in accordance with such advice and no inference concerning liability shall arise from a failure to follow such advice. The officers and Trustees shall not be required to give any bond as such, nor any surety if a bond is required.
Board Actions Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board (or, if appropriate, any committee thereof) shall adopt appropriate resolutions and take such other actions as are reasonably necessary and appropriate (including using reasonable best efforts to obtain any required consents) to effect the transactions described in this Section 2.4.
Interim Actions In the case of a Material Default that causes continuing damages to the Sellers for which indemnification by the Purchasers pursuant to Article 8 of the Agreement would not be sufficient to remedy all such damages, the Sellers and the Purchasers shall cooperate in good faith to implement appropriate interim actions to mitigate such damages until the Corrective Action Plan is finalized. The parties shall develop and implement such interim actions on timelines that are commensurate with the severity of the harm and that take into account the risks to the Sellers of delay. The Purchasers shall use reasonable best efforts to mitigate the adverse consequences on the Sellers of the Material Default until the Correction Action Plan is finalized.

Each of Purchaser and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to contest any proceeding seeking a preliminary injunction or other legal impediment to, and to resolve any objections as may be asserted by any Governmental Entity with respect to, the Offer and/or the Merger under the HSR Act or Foreign Antitrust Laws; provided that the foregoing shall not require Purchaser to take any action that could directly or indirectly (x) impose limitations on the ability of Purchaser or Merger Sub (or any of their affiliates or Subsidiaries) effectively to acquire, operate or hold, or require Purchaser, Merger Sub or the Company or any of their respective affiliates or Subsidiaries to dispose of or hold separate, any portion of their respective assets or business that (I) is either material to the business of Purchaser and its Subsidiaries or material to the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in each case, conducted in (A) any Category 1 Key Jurisdiction, (B) any two or more Category 2 Key Jurisdictions, or (C) any three or more Category 2 and Category 3 Key Jurisdictions, or (II) is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, (y) restrict any future business activity by Purchaser, Merger Sub, the Company or any of their affiliates or Subsidiaries that (I) is either material to the business of Purchaser and its Subsidiaries or material to the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in each case, conducted in (A) any Category 1 Key Jurisdiction, (B) any two or more Category 2 Key Jurisdictions, or (C) any three or more Category 2 and Category 3 Key Jurisdictions, or (II) is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, including, without limitation, requiring the prior consent of any Governmental Entity to future transactions by Purchaser, Merger Sub, the Company or any of their affiliates or Subsidiaries, or (z) otherwise adversely affect Purchaser, Merger Sub, the Company or any of their respective affiliates or Subsidiaries in a manner that (I) is either material to the business of Purchaser and its Subsidiaries or material to the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in each case, conducted in (A) any Category 1 Key Jurisdiction, (B) any two or more Category 2 Key Jurisdictions, or (C) any three or more Category 2 and Category 3 Key Jurisdictions, or (II) is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purpose of this Agreement, the proper officers and directors of Purchaser and the Surviving Corporation shall take all such necessary action.
