ARTICLE II.
TERMS OF THE CREDIT FACILITIES

Section 2.1. Lending Commitments

(a) On the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, the Bank agrees to make available to the Borrower a credit facility available as loans (each, a “Revolving Loan” and, collectively, the “Revolving Loans”) on a revolving basis at any time and from time to time from the Closing Date to the Revolving Loan Termination Date, during which period the Borrower may borrow, repay and re-borrow in accordance with the provisions hereof, provided, the unpaid principal amount of outstanding Revolving Loans shall not at any time exceed the Revolving Commitment Amount.

(b) On the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, the Bank agrees to make available to the Borrower a term loan (“Term Loan”) available in up to five advances (each, a “Term Loan Advance”) at any time and from time to time from the Closing Date to the Term Loan Advance Ending Date in an aggregate amount of Term Loan Advances

not to exceed the Term Loan Commitment Amount. Upon the earlier of the making of aggregate Term Loan Advances in the amount of the Term Loan Commitment and the occurrence of the Term Loan Advance Ending Date, the Term Loan Commitment shall expire. Amounts paid or prepaid on the Term Loan may not be reborrowed.

Section 2.2. Procedure for Revolving Loans and Term Loan Advances. Any request by the Borrower for a Revolving Loan or a Term Loan Advance hereunder shall be in writing or by telephone and must be given so as to be received by the Bank not later than 2:00 p.m. (Saint Xxxx time) on the requested Revolving Loan Date or Term Loan Advance Date, as applicable. Each request for a Revolving Loan or Term Loan Advance hereunder shall be irrevocable and shall be deemed a representation by the Borrower that, on the requested Revolving Loan Date or Term Loan Advance Date and after giving effect to the requested Revolving Loan or Term Loan Advance, the applicable conditions specified in Article III have been and will be satisfied. Each request for a Revolving Loan or Term Loan Advance hereunder shall specify (i) the requested Revolving Loan Date or Term Loan Advance Date, as applicable, and (ii) the amount of the Revolving Loan or Term Loan Advance to be made on such date, which amount, in the case of a Term Loan Advance, shall be in the minimum amount of $100,000, plus incremental amounts of $100,000. The Bank may rely on any telephone request by the Borrower for a Revolving Loan or Term Loan Advance hereunder which it believes in good faith to be genuine; and the Borrower hereby waives the right to dispute the Bank’s record of the terms of such telephone request. Unless the Bank determines that any applicable condition specified in Article III has not been satisfied, the Bank will make available to the Borrower at the Bank’s office in Saint Xxxx, Minnesota, in Immediately Available Funds on the requested Revolving Loan Date or Term Loan Advance Date, as applicable, the amount of the requested Revolving Loan or Term Loan Advance.

Section 2.3. Notes. The Revolving Loans shall be evidenced by the Revolving Note payable to the order of the Bank in a principal amount equal to the Revolving Commitment Amount originally in effect. The Term Loan and Term Loan Advances shall be evidenced by the Term Note payable to the order of the Bank in a principal amount equal to the Term Loan Commitment Amount originally in effect. The Bank shall enter in its ledgers and records the amount of each Loan, converted or continued and the payments made thereon, and the Bank is authorized by the Borrower to enter on a schedule attached to the applicable Note, as appropriate, a record of such Loan and payments; provided, however that the failure by the Bank to make any such entry or any error in making such entry shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder and on the Notes, and, in all events, the principal amounts owing by the Borrower in respect of the Revolving Note shall be the aggregate amount of all Revolving Loans made by the Bank less all payments of principal thereof made by the Borrower, and the principal amounts owing by the Borrower in respect of the Term Note shall be the aggregate amount of the Term Loan Advances less all payments of principal thereof made by the Borrower.

Section 2.4. Interest Rate.

(a) Interest Rates

(i) Interest Rate on the Revolving Loan. Interest on the Revolving Loan shall accrue at an annual rate equal to 2.00% plus the greater of (i) zero percent (0.0%) and (ii) the one-month LIBOR rate quoted by Bank from Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page or any successor thereto, which shall be that one-month LIBOR rate in effect two New York Banking Days prior to the Reprice Date, adjusted for any reserve requirement and any subsequent costs arising from a change in government regulation, such rate rounded up to the nearest one sixteenth percent and such rate to be reset monthly on each Reprice Date. The term “Reprice Date” means the first day of each month. If the initial Revolving Loan under this Agreement is made other than on the Reprice Date, the initial one-month LIBOR rate shall be that one-month LIBOR rate in effect two New York Banking Days prior to the date of the initial advance, which rate plus the percentage described above shall be in effect until the next Reprice Date.

(ii) Interest Rate on the Term Loan. The unpaid principal balance of the Term Loan will accrue interest at one of the two interest rates set forth in clauses (A) and (B) below as selected by the Borrower, provided that, (x) until the Term Loan Advance Ending Date, the Term Loan may only accrue interest at the interest rate set forth in clause (A), below, (y) the interest rate option set forth in clause (B), below, may only be exercised on the Term Loan Advance Ending Date, and (z) any portion of the Term Loan for which the interest rate option set forth in clause (B) below is not selected by the Borrower, shall bear interest at the interest rate set forth in clause (A), below:

(A)

An amount of the unpaid principal balance of the Term Loan as selected by the Borrower will accrue interest, upon a minimum of two New York Banking Days prior notice, at the per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin plus the greater of (I) zero percent (0.0%) and (II) the 1, 3 or 6 month LIBOR rate (such period to be chosen by the Borrower) quoted by the Bank from Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page or any successor thereto, which shall be the LIBOR rate in effect two New York Banking Days prior to commencement of such interest period, adjusted for any reserve requirement and any subsequent costs arising from a change in government regulation (a “LIBOR Rate Loan”). In the event the Borrower does not timely select another interest rate option at least two New York Banking Days before the end of the Loan Period for a LIBOR Rate Loan, the Bank may at any time after the end of the Loan Period convert the LIBOR Rate Loan to a Daily Reset LIBOR Rate Loan, but until such conversion, the funds advanced under the LIBOR Rate Loan shall continue to accrue interest at the same rate as the interest rate in effect for such LIBOR Rate Loan prior to the end of the Loan Period.

No LIBOR Rate Loan may extend beyond the Term Loan Maturity Date. In any event, if the Loan Period for a LIBOR Rate Loan should happen to extend beyond the Term Loan Maturity

Date, then such LIBOR Rate Loan must be prepaid on the Term Loan Maturity Date. The Bank’s internal records of applicable interest rates shall be determinative in the absence of manifest error. Each LIBOR Rate Loan shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000. The aggregate number of LIBOR Rate Loans in effect at any one time may not exceed 6.

If a LIBOR Rate Loan is prepaid prior to the end of the Loan Period for such loan, whether voluntarily or because prepayment is required due to the occurrence of the Term Loan Maturity Date or due to acceleration of the Obligations upon default or otherwise, the Borrower agrees to pay all of the Bank’s costs, expenses and Interest Differential (as determined by the Bank) incurred as a result of such prepayment. Because of the short-term duration of any Loan Period, the Borrower agrees that the Interest Differential shall not be discounted to its present value. Any prepayment of a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be in an amount equal to the remaining entire principal balance of such LIBOR Rate Loan. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the Borrower shall be required to pay Interest Differential with respect to any portion of the principal balance paid before its scheduled due date, whether voluntarily, involuntarily, or otherwise, including without limitation any principal payment made following default, demand for payment, acceleration, collection proceedings, foreclosure, sale or other disposition of collateral, bankruptcy or other insolvency proceedings, eminent domain, condemnation or otherwise. Such prepayment fee shall at all times be an Obligation as well as an undertaking by the Borrower to the Bank whether arising out of a voluntary or mandated prepayment.

(B)

An amount of the unpaid principal balance of the Term Loan as selected by the Borrower on the Term Loan Advance Ending Date will accrue interest at a fixed per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin plus the Cost of Funds Rate as determined as of the Term Loan Advance Ending Date, which interest rate will remain fixed through the Term Loan Maturity Date (the “Fixed Rate Loan”). The Borrower may only exercise this interest rate option on the Term Loan Advance Ending Date, and this interest rate option shall expire on the Term Loan Advance Ending Date if not selected on such date.

If the Fixed Rate Loan is prepaid prior to the Term Loan Maturity Date, whether voluntarily or because prepayment is required due to acceleration of the Obligations upon default or otherwise, the Borrower agrees to pay all of the Bank’s costs and expenses incurred as a result of such prepayment plus a prepayment indemnity (“Prepayment Fee”) equal to the greater of zero, or that amount,

calculated on any date of prepayment (“Prepayment Date”), which is derived by subtracting: (a) the principal amount of the Fixed Rate Loan or portion of the Fixed Rate Loan to be prepaid from (b) the Net Present Value of the Fixed Rate Loan or portion of the Fixed Rate Loan to be prepaid on such Prepayment Date; provided, however, that the Prepayment Fee shall not in any event exceed the maximum prepayment fee permitted by applicable law.

In calculating the amount of such Prepayment Fee, the Bank is hereby authorized by the Borrower to make such assumptions regarding the source of funding, redeployment of funds and other related matters, as the Bank may deem appropriate. If the Borrower fails to pay any Prepayment Fee when due, the amount of such Prepayment Fee shall thereafter bear interest until paid at the default rate specified in Section 2.4(b).

The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the Borrower shall be required to pay the Prepayment Fee with respect to any portion of the principal balance of the Fixed Rate Loan paid before its scheduled due date, whether voluntarily, involuntarily, or otherwise, including without limitation any principal payment made following default, demand for payment, acceleration, collection proceedings, foreclosure, sale or other disposition of collateral, bankruptcy or other insolvency proceedings, eminent domain, condemnation or otherwise. Such prepayment fee shall at all times be an Obligation as well as an undertaking by the Borrower to the Bank whether arising out of a voluntary or mandated prepayment.

(b) Interest Upon Event of Default. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, each Loan shall, at the option of the Bank (or, in the case of an Event of Default under Section 7.1(f), (g) or (h), automatically upon the occurrence of such Event of Default), bear interest until paid in full at the rate otherwise applicable thereto plus 2.0%.

(c) Records of Interest Rates. The Bank’s internal records of applicable interest rates shall be determinative in the absence of manifest error.

Section 2.5. Repayment of the Loans. Interest and principal upon the Loans shall be paid as follows:

(a) Payment of Interest. Interest on the Revolving Loan shall be paid (A) on each Payment Date, commencing on June 30, 2015 and (B) on the Revolving Loan Termination Date; provided that interest under Section 2.4(b) shall be payable on demand. Interest on the Term Loan shall be paid (A) on each Payment Date, commencing on June 30, 2015 and (B) on the Term Loan Termination Date; provided that interest under Section 2.4(b) shall be payable on demand.

(b) Payment of Principal. Principal of the Revolving Loan shall be paid on the Revolving Loan Termination Date. Principal on the Term Loan shall be paid on each Payment Date, commencing on September 30, 2015, in quarterly installments in the amount of either, at the election of the Borrower, (i) the amount of the Term Loan as of the Term Loan Advance Ending Date divided by 28 or (ii) the amount of the Term Loan as of the Term Loan Advance Ending Date divided by 20, with the unpaid remaining principal balance to be paid in full on the Term Loan Termination Date, provided that the amount of the installment paid on each Payment Date shall not be less than the amount calculated in clause (i), above.

Section 2.6. Prepayments.

(a) Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may pay the Revolving Loan at its option at any time without premium or penalty. The Borrower may pay the Term Loan at its option only if it pays the Interest Differential or Prepayment Fee, as applicable, payable with respect to the Term Loan pursuant to Section 2.4(a)(ii). All prepayments of the Loans shall be in a minimum amount of $100,000 or, if less, in the remaining entire principal balance of the Loan being prepaid. All prepayments applied to the Term Loan shall be applied to the scheduled principal payments on the Term Loan in the inverse order of their maturities. Amounts paid or prepaid on the Term Loan may not be reborrowed. Any such prepayment of any Loan must be accompanied by payment of accrued and unpaid interest on the amount prepaid and, in the case of a prepayment of the Term Loan, the Interest Differential or Prepayment Fee, as applicable, required under Section 2.4(a)(ii). Amounts paid (unless following an acceleration or upon termination of the Revolving Commitment in whole) or prepaid on the Revolving Loans under this clause (a) may be reborrowed upon the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations of this Agreement.

(b) Mandatory Prepayments for a Prepayment Event. If at any time a Prepayment Event occurs, the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Bank the net proceeds realized by such Prepayment Event as a prepayment of the Term Loan, along with any Interest Differential or Prepayment Fee, as applicable, required under Section 2.4(a)(ii). Any such prepayments shall be applied to the Term Loan until the Term Loan is paid in full, and thereafter to the Revolving Loan until the Revolving Loan is paid in full. All prepayments applied to the Term Loan shall be applied to the scheduled principal payments on the Term Loan in the inverse order of their maturities. Amounts paid or prepaid on the Term Loan may not be reborrowed. Amounts paid (unless following an acceleration or upon termination of the Revolving Commitment in whole) or prepaid on the Revolving Loan under this clause (b) may be reborrowed upon the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations of this Agreement.

(c) Mandatory Prepayment if Central Bancshares Acquisition is not Consummated. If the Term Loan has been funded by the Bank and the Central Bancshares Acquisition is not consummated on or before May 15, 2015, the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Bank on such date the entire outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan along with all accrued interest thereon and any Interest Differential or Prepayment Fee, as applicable, required under Section 2.4(a)(ii).

Section 2.7. Computations. Interest on the Loans and the Revolving Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of actual days elapsed and a year of 360 days.

Section 2.8. Payments. Payments and prepayments of principal of, and interest on, the Notes and all fees, expenses and other obligations under this Agreement payable to the Bank shall be made without setoff or counterclaim in Immediately Available Funds not later than 3:00 p.m.(St. Xxxx Time) on the dates called for under this Agreement and the Notes to the Bank at its office in Saint Xxxx, Minnesota. Funds received after such time shall be deemed to have been received on the next Banking Day. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or on the Notes shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Banking Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Banking Day and such extension of time, in the case of a payment of principal, shall be included in the computation of any interest on such principal payment.

Section 2.9. Unused Revolving Commitment Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Bank fees (the “Revolving Commitment Fees”) in an amount determined by applying a rate of 0.25% per annum to the average daily Unused Revolving Commitment during the period from and after the date hereof to and including the Revolving Loan Termination Date. Such Revolving Commitment Fees are payable in arrears on the dates on which interest is payable pursuant to Section 2.5.

Section 2.10. Yield Protection. If, on or after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any law or any governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law), or any change in the interpretation, promulgation, implementation or administration thereof by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof including, notwithstanding the foregoing, all requests, rules, guidelines or directives in connection with Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued, or compliance by the Bank with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency:

(a) subjects the Bank to any Taxes, or changes the basis of taxation of payments (other than with respect to Excluded Taxes) to the Bank in respect of the Loans, or

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Bank of making or maintaining the Loans or the Commitments or to reduce the return received by the Bank in connection with the Loans or the Commitments, then, within 15 days after demand by the Bank, the Borrower shall pay the Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Bank for such increased cost or reduction in amount received. “Excluded Taxes” means any (a) taxes imposed on or measured in whole or in part by revenue, net income, capital, or net worth of the Bank and franchise or other taxes imposed in lieu thereof by any jurisdiction in which the Bank is organized or incorporated, maintains its principal office, or is doing business, and (b) any branch profits taxes imposed by the United States or any similar tax imposed by any other jurisdiction in which the Bank is located. “Taxes” means any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding Excluded Taxes.

Each of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries (a) holds all certificates of authority, licenses and permits necessary to carry on its business as presently conducted in each jurisdiction in which it is carrying on such business, except where the failure to hold such certificates, licenses or permits could not reasonably be expected to constitute a Material Adverse Occurrence and (b) is duly qualified and in good standing as a foreign corporation (or other organization) in each jurisdiction in which the character of the properties owned, leased or operated by it or the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary and the failure so to qualify would permanently preclude the Borrower or such Subsidiary from enforcing its rights with respect to any assets or expose the Borrower to any Material Adverse Occurrence.

Section 4.2. Authorization and Validity. The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of the Loan Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action by the Borrower. This Agreement constitutes, and the Notes and other Loan Documents when executed will constitute, the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrower, enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with their respective terms, subject to limitations as to enforceability which might result from bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to limitations on the availability of equitable remedies.

Section 4.3. No Conflict; No Default. The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of the Loan Documents will not (a) violate any provision of any law, statute, rule or regulation or any order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award of any court, governmental agency or arbitrator presently in effect having applicability to the Borrower, (b) violate or contravene any provision of the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Borrower, or (c) result in a breach of or constitute a default under any indenture, loan or credit agreement or any other agreement, lease or instrument to which the Borrower is a party or by which it or any of its properties may be bound or result in the creation of any Lien thereunder. No Event of Default exists or would result from the incurrence by the Borrower of any Indebtedness hereunder or under any other Loan Document. Neither the Borrower nor any

Subsidiary is in default under or in violation of any such law, statute, rule or regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award in any case in which the consequences of such default or violation could reasonably be expected to constitute a Material Adverse Occurrence, or in violation or breach of any indenture, loan or credit agreement or other agreement, lease or instrument involving an obligation of the Borrower in excess of $100,000. The Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their respective officers and employees and to the knowledge of the Borrower its directors and agents, are in compliance with Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions in all material respects. None of the Borrower, any Subsidiary or to the knowledge of the Borrower or such Subsidiary any of their respective directors, officers or employees is a Sanctioned Person. Neither any Loan, use of the proceeds of any Loan or other transactions contemplated hereby will violate Anti-Corruption Laws or applicable Sanctions. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have all permits, licenses and approvals required by such laws, copies of which have been provided to the Bank. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries are in compliance in all material respects with the PATRIOT Act.

Except for the regulatory approvals being sought in connection with the Central Bancshares Acquisition, no order, consent, approval, license, authorization or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, or exemption by, any governmental or public body or authority is required on the part of the Borrower to authorize, or is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of, or the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of, the Loan Documents.

Section 4.5. Financial Condition. The Borrower’s call reports and other regulatory reports, including without limitation FRY-9C, and FRY-9LP reports, as heretofore furnished to the Bank, fairly present the financial condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at such dates and the results of their operations and changes in financial position for the respective periods then ended. As of the dates of such reports, neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary had any material obligation, contingent liability, liability for taxes or long‑term lease obligation which is not reflected in such call reports. Since December 31, 2014, there has been no Material Adverse Occurrence.

Section 4.6. Litigation. There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against or affecting the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their properties before any court or arbitrator, or any governmental department, board, agency or other instrumentality which, if determined adversely to the Borrower or any Subsidiary, could reasonably be expected to constitute a Material Adverse Occurrence, and there are no unsatisfied judgments against the Borrower or Subsidiary, the satisfaction or payment of which could reasonably be expected to constitute a Material Adverse Occurrence.

Section 4.7. Environmental, Health and Safety Laws. To the Borrower’s knowledge, there does not exist any violation by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of any applicable federal, state or local law, rule or regulation or order of any government, governmental department, board, agency or other instrumentality relating to environmental, pollution, health, safety or other

matters which has, will or threatens to impose a material liability on the Borrower or a Subsidiary or which has required or would require a material expenditure by the Borrower or a Subsidiary to cure. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary has received any written notice to the effect that any part of its operations or properties is not in material compliance with any such law, rule, regulation or order or notice that it or its property is the subject of any governmental investigation evaluating whether any remedial action is needed to respond to any release of any toxic or hazardous waste or substance into the environment, which non‑compliance or remedial action could reasonably be expected to constitute a Material Adverse Occurrence. The Borrower does not have knowledge that it or its property or any Subsidiary or the property of any Subsidiary will become subject to environmental laws or regulations during the term of this Agreement, compliance with which could reasonably be expected to require Capital Expenditures which could reasonably be expected to constitute a Material Adverse Occurrence.

Section 4.8. ERISA. Each Plan is in substantial compliance with all applicable requirements of ERISA and the Code and with all material applicable rulings and regulations issued under the provisions of ERISA and the Code setting forth those requirements. No Reportable Event has occurred and is continuing with respect to any Plan which could reasonably be expected to constitute a Material Adverse Occurrence. All of the minimum funding standards applicable to such Plans have been satisfied and there exists no event or condition which would reasonably be expected to result in the institution of proceedings to terminate any Plan under Section 4042 of ERISA. With respect to each Plan subject to Title IV of ERISA, as of the most recent valuation date for such Plan, the present value (determined on the basis of reasonable assumptions employed by the independent actuary for such Plan and previously furnished in writing to the Bank) of such Plan’s projected benefit obligations did not exceed the fair market value of such Plan’s assets.

Section 4.9. Federal Reserve Regulations. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is engaged principally or as one of its important activities in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock (as defined in Regulation U of the Board). The value of all margin stock owned by the Borrower does not constitute more than 25% of the value of the assets of the Borrower.

Section 4.10. Title to Property; Leases; Liens; Subordination. Each of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries has (a) good and marketable title to its real properties and (b) good and sufficient title to, or valid, subsisting and enforceable leasehold interest in, its other material properties, including all real properties, other properties and assets, referred to as owned by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in the most recent financial statements referred to in Section 5.1 (other than property disposed of since the date of such financial statements in the ordinary course of business). None of such properties is subject to a Lien, except as allowed under Section 6.12. The Borrower has not subordinated any of its rights under any obligation owing to it to the rights of any other person.

Section 4.11. Taxes. Each of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries has filed all federal, state and local tax returns required to be filed and has paid or made provision for the payment of all taxes due and payable pursuant to such returns and pursuant to any assessments made against it or any of its property and all other taxes, fees and other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any governmental authority (other than taxes, fees or charges the amount or validity

of which is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in accordance with GAAP have been provided on the books of the Borrower). No tax Liens have been filed and no material claims are being asserted with respect to any such taxes, fees or charges. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Borrower in respect of taxes and other governmental charges are adequate and the Borrower knows of no proposed material tax assessment against it or any Subsidiary or any basis therefor.

Section 4.12. Trademarks, Patents. Each of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries possesses or has the right to use all of the patents, trademarks, trade names, service marks and copyrights, and applications therefor, and all technology, know-how, processes, methods and designs used in or necessary for the conduct of its business, without known conflict with the rights of others.

Section 4.13. Burdensome Restrictions. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is a party to or otherwise bound by any indenture, loan or credit agreement or any lease or other agreement or instrument or subject to any charter, corporate or partnership restriction which could reasonably be expected to constitute a Material Adverse Occurrence.

Section 4.14. Force Majeure. Since the date of the most recent financial statements, call reports and other regulatory reports referred to in Section 5.1, the business, properties and other assets of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries have not been materially and adversely affected in any way as the result of any fire or other casualty, strike, lockout, or other labor trouble, embargo, sabotage, confiscation, condemnation, riot, civil disturbance, activity of armed forces or act of God.

Section 4.15. Investment Company Act. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an investment company within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

Section 4.16. Retirement Benefits. Except as disclosed on Schedule 4.16 or as required under Section 4980B of the Code, Section 601 of ERISA or applicable state law, neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is obligated to provide post-retirement medical or insurance benefits with respect to employees or former employees.

Section 4.17. Full Disclosure. Subject to the following sentence, neither the financial statements nor the call reports and other regulatory reports referred to in Section 5.1 nor any other certificate, written statement, exhibit or report furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not misleading. Certificates or statements furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Subsidiary to the Bank consisting of projections or forecasts of future results or events have been prepared in good faith and based on good faith estimates and assumptions of the management of the Borrower or such Subsidiary, and the Borrower has no reason to believe that such projections or forecasts are not reasonable.

Section 4.18. Subsidiaries. Schedule 4.18 sets forth, as of the date of this Agreement, a list of all Subsidiaries (including Subsidiary Banks) and the number and percentage of the shares of each class of Equity Interests owned beneficially or of record by the Borrower or any

Subsidiary therein, and the jurisdiction of incorporation of each Subsidiary. None of the Subsidiary Banks is subject to any Regulatory Action which has not been disclosed to the Bank.

Section 4.19. Labor Matters. There are no pending or threatened strikes, lockouts or slowdowns against the Borrower or any Subsidiary. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary has been or is in violation in any material respect of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable Federal, state, local or foreign law dealing with such matters. All payments due from the Borrower or any Subsidiary on account of wages and employee health and welfare insurance and other benefits (in each case, except for de minimus amounts), have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of the Borrower or such Subsidiary. The consummation of the transactions contemplated under the Loan Documents will not give rise to any right of termination or right of renegotiation on the part of any union under any collective bargaining agreement to which the Borrower or any Subsidiary is bound.

Section 4.20. Bank Holding Company Act. The Borrower has complied in all material respects with all federal, state and local laws pertaining to bank holding companies, including without limitation, the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended.

Section 4.21. Capital Stock. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary Bank has issued any unregistered securities in violation of the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any other law; or violated any rule, regulation or requirement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in either case, where the effect of such violation could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Occurrence.

Section 4.22. Solvency. As of the Closing Date, (a) the fair value of the assets of the Borrower, at a fair valuation, will exceed its debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise; (b) the present fair saleable value of the property of the Borrower will be greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of its debts and other liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured; (c) the Borrower will be able to pay its debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured; and (d) the Borrower will not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the business in which it is engaged as such business is proposed to be conducted following the Closing Date.

Section 4.23. Insurance. The Borrower maintains, and has caused each Subsidiary to maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurance companies insurance on all their Property in such amounts, subject to such deductibles and self-insurance retentions and covering such properties and risks as are consistent with sound business practice and as are customarily carried by companies engaged in similar business and owning similar properties in localities where the Borrower and its Subsidiaries operate.

Section 5.3. Existence, No Additional Subsidiaries. The Borrower will maintain, and cause each Subsidiary to maintain, its corporate existence in good standing under the laws of its

jurisdiction of organization and its qualification to transact business in each jurisdiction where failure so to qualify would permanently preclude the Borrower or such Subsidiary from enforcing its rights with respect to any material asset or would expose the Borrower or such Subsidiary to any material liability; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prohibit the merger, sale or liquidation of any Subsidiary allowed under Section 6.1 or 6.2. The Borrower shall not form or acquire any Subsidiary without the prior written consent of the Bank, provided that, the Borrower may form or acquire any Subsidiary, other than a Subsidiary Bank or a Subsidiary of a Subsidiary Bank, formed or acquired for the purpose of any other business or activity permitted by all applicable laws and regulations, provided further that the aggregate amount of assets of such formed or acquired Subsidiaries permitted under this sentence shall not, at any time during any fiscal year of the Borrower, exceed 5% of the consolidated assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of the end of the preceding fiscal year.

The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries will comply with all Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions, and will obtain all permits, licenses and approvals required by such laws, copies of which will be provided to the Bank upon request.
