AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

This AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “Agreement”), is made effective as of July 13, 2009, by and among GLOBAL CONSUMER ACQUISITION CORP., a Delaware corporation with its principal place of business in New York, New York (“Parent”), WL INTERIM BANK, a Nevada corporation (“Merger Sub”), 1ST COMMERCE BANK, a Nevada-chartered non-member bank (“Bank”), CAPITOL DEVELOPMENT BANCORP LIMITED V, a Michigan corporation with its principal place of business in Lansing, Michigan, the direct owner of a majority in interest of Bank (“Capitol”), and CAPITOL BANCORP LIMITED, a Michigan corporation with its principal place of business in Lansing, Michigan (“CBL”) (for purposes of Section 7.5, Section 7.10, Section 9.8, Section 9.11(d), Section 9.14 and Section 9.15). Parent, Merger Sub, Bank, Capitol and CBL are sometimes individually referred to herein as a “Party” or collectively referred to herein as the “Parties”).

WHEREAS, Parent, Merger Sub and Bank intend to effect a merger, whereby Merger Sub shall be merged with and into Bank (the “Merger”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement and in accordance with the Nevada Revised Statutes (“Nevada Law”);

WHEREAS, the board of directors of Bank has (i) approved this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and declared the Merger’s advisability, (ii) determined that it is in the best interest of the Stockholders to consummate the Merger on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement and the other transactions contemplated hereby, and (iii) recommended that the Stockholders adopt and approve this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, the “Bank Board Approval”);

WHEREAS, each of Capitol and CBL will benefit from the consummation of the Merger and it is a material inducement to Parent and Merger Sub entering into this Agreement that each of Capitol and CBL be a Party hereto.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, representations, warranties and agreements herein contained, and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

CERTAIN DEFINITIONS

1.1 Certain Definitions. Unless the context otherwise requires, capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth herein or in SCHEDULE I attached hereto. References to Articles, Sections, Exhibits and Schedules refer to Articles and Sections of, and Exhibits and Schedules to, this Agreement.

ARTICLE 2

THE MERGER

2.1 The Merger. At the Effective Time and subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the applicable provisions of Nevada Law, the Merger shall occur, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and Bank shall continue as the surviving corporation. Bank, as the surviving corporation after the Merger, is hereinafter sometime referred to as the “Surviving Corporation”.

2.2 Filing; Effective Time. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement and in accordance with Nevada Law, the parties hereto shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing articles of merger, in such appropriate form as determined by the parties, with the Secretary of State of Nevada (the “Articles of Merger”) (the date and time of such filing (or such later date and time as may be agreed in

writing by Bank and Parent and specified in the Articles of Merger) being the “Effective Time”) as soon as practicable on or after the Closing Date.

2.3 Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement and Section 92A.250 of Nevada Law and other applicable provisions of Nevada Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at the Effective Time all the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Bank and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of Bank and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

2.4 Articles of Incorporation; Bylaws.

(a) At the Effective Time, the Articles of Incorporation of Bank, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended as provided by law and as provided by such Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) At the Effective Time, the Bylaws of Bank, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended.

2.5 Directors and Officers. The directors of the Surviving Corporation as of the Effective Time shall be the directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time, until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified. The officers of the Surviving Corporation as of the Effective Time shall be the officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time, until their respective successors are duly appointed.

2.6 Effect on Capital Stock of Bank. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Merger Sub, Bank or the holders of any Shares or any shares of capital stock of Merger Sub, the following will occur:

(a) Subject to Section 2.6(b) and Section 2.6(c), each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than any Share to be cancelled pursuant to Section 2.6(b) and the Dissenting Shares, will, without any further action on the part of the holder thereof, be cancelled and extinguished and automatically converted into the right to receive (i) cash in the amount equal to the Per Share Closing Payment and (ii) subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Per Share Additional Payment Amount (collectively, the “Per Share Merger Consideration”).

(b) Each Share held by Bank immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and extinguished and shall cease to exist, and no cash or other consideration shall be delivered or deliverable in exchange therefor.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that are held by any Stockholder who is entitled to demand and properly demands fair value of such shares pursuant to, and who complies in all respects with, the provisions of Sections 92A.300 through 92A.500, inclusive, of the Nevada Law (the “Dissenters’ Rights Sections” and, such shares, the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration, but instead such holder shall be entitled solely to payment of the fair value of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with the provisions of the Dissenters’ Rights Sections. At the Effective Time, the Dissenting Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of Dissenting Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the fair value of such shares in accordance with the provisions of the Dissenters’ Rights Sections. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such holder fails to perfect or otherwise waives, withdraws or loses the right to dissent under the Dissenters’ Rights Sections, or a court of competent jurisdiction determines that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by the Dissenters’ Rights Sections, then the right of such holder to be paid the fair value of such Dissenting Shares under the Dissenters’ Rights Sections shall cease and such Dissenting Shares shall be deemed to have been converted at the Effective Time into, and shall have become, the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration. Bank shall deliver prompt notice to Parent of any demands for dissent of any Shares received by it prior to the Effective Time, withdrawals of such demands and any related

instruments served pursuant to Nevada Law received by Bank prior to the Effective Time, and Parent shall have the right to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Bank shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands, or agree to do or commit to do any of the foregoing.

2.7 Effect on Capital Stock of Merger Sub. Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $5.00 per share, of the Surviving Corporation. From and after the Effective Time, each certificate evidencing ownership of shares of the common stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall evidence ownership of such shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

2.8 Surrender of Certificates.

(a) Exchange Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall designate Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. or, if not Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., then a United States bank, trust company or other party reasonably acceptable to Bank, to act as the exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”) in the Merger.

(b) Exchange Procedures.

(i) Promptly after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail or deliver to each holder of record (as of the Effective Time) of a certificate or certificates (the “Certificates”) that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented the outstanding Shares a letter of transmittal (a “Letter of Transmittal”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

(ii) Promptly following surrender or delivery of Certificates for cancellation or delivery of the Affidavit to the Exchange Agent, together with a Letter of Transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by Parent or the Exchange Agent, each Stockholder shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the consideration to which such Stockholder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.6 and the Certificate(s) so surrendered shall be cancelled.

(iii) No interest shall be paid or accrue on any cash payable upon surrender of any Certificates or the delivery of any Affidavits.

(c) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Merger Consideration deposited with the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section 3.2 that remains undistributed to the Stockholders for six months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent, upon demand, and any Stockholder who has not previously complied with this Section 2.8 shall thereafter look only to Parent for payment of its claim for the applicable Per Share Closing Payment without interest.

(d) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.8, none of Parent, Merger Sub, Bank and the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any person in respect of any portion of the Closing Payment deposited with the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section 3.2(b) that is subsequently delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

(e) Withholding Rights. Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the portion of the Merger Consideration otherwise payable to any Stockholder, as the case may be, pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it determines in good faith to be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or under any provision of applicable law. Any amounts so deducted and withheld shall be treated as having been paid to the applicable Stockholder for purposes of this Agreement. In connection with any withholding or other tax payment or report made by Parent related to any consideration received or to be received by a Stockholder in connection with the Merger, Parent will provide such Stockholder with such tax reporting documentation as may be reasonably required to evidence the payment.

(f) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. If any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof (the “Affidavit”), the Exchange Agent shall pay in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, the total Per Share Merger Consideration into

which the Shares represented by such Certificates were converted pursuant to Section 2.6(a) that such holder otherwise would have been entitled to hereunder; provided, however, that Parent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to such payment require the holder of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver a bond in a reasonable amount as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

2.9 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Bank and Merger Sub, the officers and directors of Parent, Merger Sub and Bank are fully authorized in the name of their respective corporations or otherwise to take, and will take, all such lawful and necessary action.

ARTICLE 4

MERGER CONSIDERATION ADJUSTMENT

4.1 Merger Consideration Adjustment.

(a) The Merger Consideration shall be subject to reduction or increase in accordance with this Article 4 both (i) at the Closing and (ii) after the Closing, in each case on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein. The Tangible Book Value shall be calculated in the same manner as in the balance sheet of Bank attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Model Balance Sheet”).

(b) At least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Capitol shall deliver to Parent an estimated balance sheet of Bank (the “Estimated Balance Sheet”) and a statement of the Estimated Tangible Book Value

of Bank (the “Estimated Tangible Book Value Statement” and, together with the Estimated Balance Sheet, the “Estimated Documents”), each as of the Closing. Such Estimated Documents shall be accompanied by a Certification Statement by the chief financial officer of Capitol. Prior to the Closing, Parent and Capitol shall, in good faith, agree to the Tangible Book Value of the Owned Real Property as of the Closing, for purposes of the Estimated Tangible Book Value. If, within two (2) Business Days following receipt of the Estimated Documents, Parent has not given Capitol notice of its objection to either of the Estimated Documents, the Merger Consideration shall be adjusted as follows: (i) if the Estimated Tangible Book Value as of the Closing is at least $250,000 less than or more than the Target Tangible Book Value, then the Merger Consideration shall be recalculated so that the Merger Consideration shall be the sum of (x) 1.5 multiplied by the Estimated Tangible Book Value up to $6 million, plus (y) if the Estimated Tangible Book Value exceeds $6 million, one (1) multiplied by the difference between Estimated Tangible Book Value and $6 million; or (ii) if the Estimated Tangible Book Value as of the Closing is within $250,000 (higher or lower) of the Target Tangible Book Value, then no adjustment shall be made. If Parent gives such notice of objection, Parent and Capitol will work together in good faith to promptly resolve the issues in dispute. If all disputed issues are resolved, the Estimated Tangible Book Value as agreed upon by Parent and Capitol shall be used to complete the Estimated Tangible Book Value Statement. If Parent and Capitol are unable to resolve all such disputed issues within three (3) Business Days following Parent’s receipt of the Estimated Tangible Book Value, either Party may submit such dispute to the Closing Accountant in accordance with the terms set forth in Section 4.1(d). The Merger Consideration calculated after giving effect to this Section 4.1(b) shall be referred to as the “Closing Merger Consideration”.

(c) Promptly after the Closing Date, Parent shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, in accordance with the books and records of Bank, and shall deliver, or cause to be delivered to Capitol, within ninety (90) days following the Closing, a balance sheet (the “Final Balance Sheet”) and a statement (the “Final Tangible Book Value Statement” and, together with the Final Balance Sheet, the “Final Documents”) setting forth the amount of the Tangible Book Value of Bank, each as of the Closing. The Final Documents shall be accompanied by a Certification Statement by Parent.

(d) Capitol shall have the right to review all work papers and procedures used to prepare the Final Documents for Bank, and shall have the right to perform reasonable procedures necessary to verify the accuracy thereof. Unless Capitol, within thirty (30) days following delivery to Capitol of the Final Documents for Bank, notifies Parent in writing that Capitol objects to either of the Final Documents delivered by Parent, specifying the specific items to which it objects and the basis for such objection, such Final Documents shall become final, binding and conclusive upon the parties for purposes of this Agreement. If Capitol so notifies Parent of any objections in accordance with the foregoing, Capitol and Parent shall within fifteen (15) days following such notice attempt to resolve their differences, and any resolution by them agreed upon in writing shall be final, binding and conclusive. If any objections cannot be so resolved, any items remaining in dispute, at the request of either party at any time after the fifteen (15) day period, shall be submitted to Ernst & Young LLP (the “Closing Accountant”). If Ernst & Young LLP is unwilling to serve as the Closing Accountant or is not independent, then the Parties shall, in good faith, select a nationally recognized independent public accounting firm, other than Parent’s, Capitol’s or CBL’s accountants, to be the Closing Accountant. The fees of any such accounting firm shall be paid by Capitol, unless either (x) the amount of the net adjustment payable to Parent as a result of the Final Tangible Book Value Statement is more than 110% of the final net adjustment determined to be payable to Parent by the Closing Accountant, or (y) the amount of the net adjustment payable to Capitol as a result of the Final Tangible Book Value Statement is less than 90% of the final net adjustment determined to be payable to Capitol by the Closing Accountant. The Closing Accountant shall act as an arbitrator to determine, based solely on the presentations by Capitol and Parent and not by independent review, only those issues that remain in dispute. Capitol and Parent shall make their presentations promptly after the request by either party to submit the disputed issues to the Closing Accountant. The Closing Accountant’s determination shall be made within thirty (30) days of such presentations, shall be set forth in a written statement delivered to Capitol and Parent, and shall be final, binding and conclusive. The terms “Final Balance Sheet” and “Final Tangible Book Value Statement” shall be deemed to mean the Final Balance Sheet and the Final Tangible Book Value Statement for Bank delivered by Parent with such changes therein as shall be agreed to by the Parties or finally determined by the Closing Accountant, as provided above, and the

term “Final Tangible Book Value” shall mean the Tangible Book Value as set forth on the Final Tangible Book Value Statement.

(e) If the Final Tangible Book Value as of the Closing is at least $250,000 less than or more than the Target Tangible Book Value, then the Merger Consideration shall be recalculated so that the Merger Consideration shall be the sum of (x) 1.5 multiplied by the Final Tangible Book Value up to $6 million, plus (y) if the Final Tangible Book Value exceeds $6 million, one (1) multiplied by the difference between Estimated Tangible Book Value and $6 million. If the Final Tangible Book Value as of the Closing is within $250,000 (higher or lower) of the Target Tangible Book Value and (i) no adjustment was made to the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 4.1(b), then no adjustment shall be made, or (ii) the Merger Consideration was adjusted pursuant to Section 4.1(b), then the Merger Consideration shall be recalculated so that it is equal to $8,250,000. The Merger Consideration calculated after given effect to this Section 4.1(e) shall be referred to as the “Final Merger Consideration”. If the Final Merger Consideration exceeds the Closing Merger Consideration, then Parent shall pay the Exchange Agent an amount equal to the difference (the “Total Additional Payment Amount”). If the Closing Merger Consideration exceeds the Final Merger Consideration, then Capitol shall pay the Parent the difference. Any payments pursuant to this Section 4.1(e) shall be made within five (5) Business Days of the date the Final Tangible Book Value is determined as provided above. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.8(b)(ii), each Stockholder shall be entitled to receive, as an Additional Share Payment, an amount per share of Bank Common Stock held by such Stockholder immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Per Share Additional Payment Amount.

4.2 Tangible Book Value. All calculations of Tangible Book Value pursuant to this Article 4 shall be determined as of the Closing, after giving effect to the disposition of all Excluded Loans in accordance with Section 7.9.

ARTICLE 5

REPRESENTATION AND WARRANTIES OF BANK AND CAPITOL

Subject to such exceptions as are disclosed in the disclosure schedules dated as of the date hereof and attached hereto (the “Schedules”) corresponding to the applicable Section and subsection or clause of this Article 5 (provided, that any information set forth in any one Section of Capitol’s Schedules shall be deemed to apply to each other applicable Section or subsection of Capitol’s Schedules if its relevance to the information called for in such Section or subsection is reasonably apparent on its face notwithstanding the omission of any cross-reference to such other section in the Schedules), each of Bank and Capitol hereby makes the following representations and warranties to Parent and Merger Sub as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date. The inclusion of an item in the Schedules shall not be deemed an admission by either Bank or Capitol that such item represents a material fact, event, or circumstance or would or is likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect on Bank.

5.1 Capital Structure.

(iii) any liability of Bank for Taxes or any liability of Bank to make payments to or indemnify any other Person with respect to Taxes (x) for any Taxable period prior to and including the Effective Time, (y) resulting from or attributable to Bank having been or ceasing to be a member of any Affiliated Group, or (z) as a transferee or successor, by contract or otherwise as a result of transactions, contracts or arrangements occurring or entered into on or before the Closing Date.

11.2 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) If any Stockholder Indemnified Party or Parent Indemnified Party (each, an “Indemnified Party”) seeks indemnification under this Article 11, the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the indemnifying party (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing after learning of the occurrence of any event that is asserted to be an indemnifiable event pursuant to this Agreement, which notice shall include information, in reasonable detail, relating to the claim and, if available or known, an estimate of the liability; provided, however, that no failure or delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party will relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation under this Article 11, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give such notice. If such event involves the claim of any third party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it shall wish, assume control over (in which case the Indemnifying Party shall assume all expense with respect thereto) the defense, settlement, adjustment or compromise of such claim, demand or lawsuit and to retain counsel (not reasonably objected to by the Indemnified Party); provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume such defense of a claim by a third party (i) which involves an amount (when taken together with the aggregate amount of all claims for Damages pending under this Article 11) that is in excess of the unused cap on the

Indemnifying Party’s obligations pursuant to Section 11.3(d) or (ii) if there is a reasonable probability that such third party claim may materially and adversely affect the Indemnified Party other than as a result of monetary damages or other money payments. The Indemnifying Party’s option to assume the defense of such claim may be exercised by an irrevocable written acknowledgment by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party, within 30 days following notice of such claim from the Indemnified Party (or earlier, if the Indemnified Party reasonably requires an earlier determination), that it is undertaking and will prosecute the defense of the claim under such indemnity agreements (at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party) and confirming that the claim is one with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to indemnify and that it will be able to pay the full amount of potential liability in connection with such claim.

(b) The Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ counsel at the Indemnified Party’s own expense (except that the Indemnifying Party shall be liable to the Indemnified Party for reasonable fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense thereof) and to participate in such action or claim, including settlement or trial, as long as such participation does not substantially interfere with the Indemnifying Party’s defense of such claim or action.

(c) The Indemnifying Party shall obtain the prior written approval of the Indemnified Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, before entering into any settlement, adjustment or compromise of such claim or ceasing to defend against such claim; provided, that such settlement, adjustment, compromise or cessation of such claim shall include a release from all liability and shall involve only the payment of monetary Damages in respect of such claims.

(d) If the Indemnifying Party does not assume control over the defense of such claim as provided in Section 11.2(a), the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend the claim in such manner as it may deem appropriate at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party.

(e) In the event that the Indemnifying Party reimburses the Indemnified Party for any third party claim, the Indemnified Party shall remit to the Indemnifying Party any reimbursement that the Indemnified Party subsequently receives for such third party claim.

(f) Upon the payment in full of any claim hereunder, the Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to the rights of the Indemnified Party against any person (excluding any third party insurance provider) with respect to the subject matter of such claim.

11.3 Limitations on Indemnification; Other Qualifications.

(a) The Parties hereto agree that their respective remedies under Article 11 of this Agreement are their exclusive remedies under this Agreement, including without limitation, any matter based on the inaccuracy, untruth, incompleteness or breach of any representation or warranty of any party hereto contained herein or based on the failure of any covenant, agreement or undertaking herein (other than claims of fraud or intentional misrepresentation), and the Parties hereto hereby waive any claims with respect to any other right of contribution or indemnity available against any Indemnifying Party hereunder in such capacity on the basis of common law, statute or otherwise beyond the express terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that this exclusive remedy for damages does not preclude a Party from bringing an action for specific performance or other equitable remedy not involving the payment of monetary damages.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the liability for indemnification of any Indemnifying Party under this Agreement shall not exceed the actual damages of the party entitled to indemnification and shall not include incidental, indirect, special, punitive, exemplary or other similar damages or diminution in value, other than any such damages awarded to a third party.

(c) Capitol shall not be required to indemnify the Parent Indemnified Parties and Parent shall not be required to indemnify the Stockholder Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Article 11 for any Damages arising out of matters described in Section 11.1(b)(i) or 11.1(a)(i), respectively, unless the aggregate amount of Damages incurred by the Parent Indemnified Parties arising out of matters described in Section 11.1(b)(i), on the one hand, or the Stockholder Indemnified Parties arising out of matters described in Section 11.1(a)(i), on

the other hand, exceeds Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000) and then only for the amount of such Damages in excess of Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000). No Parent Indemnified Party or Stockholder Indemnified Party shall be deemed to have suffered any Damages as a result of a breach of a representation or warranty giving rise to a right of indemnification under Section 11.1(b)(i) or 11.1(a)(i), respectively, unless all Damages arising out of that breach (together with all matters substantially related to the matter underlying that breach) equal or exceed $5,000; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of Damages that either the Parent Indemnified Parties or the Stockholder Indemnified Parties shall be deemed not to have been suffered by reason of the foregoing clause shall not exceed $50,000.

(d) The maximum aggregate liability of the Stockholder Indemnified Parties for indemnification pursuant to Section 11.1(b)(i), and the Parent Indemnified Parties’ sole and exclusive recourse for indemnification for Damages resulting in indemnification claims thereunder, shall be limited to One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) in the aggregate.

(e) The maximum aggregate liability of the Parent Indemnified Parties for indemnification pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(i), and the Stockholder Indemnified Parties’ sole and exclusive recourse for indemnification for Damages resulting in indemnification claims thereunder, shall be limited to One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) in the aggregate.

(f) The limitations contained in Section 11.3(c) shall not apply to (i) any claims of common law fraud made against Capitol or Bank or (ii) any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(i) or 11.1(b)(i) in connection with a breach of the representation and warranties contained in Section 5.1, Section 5.2, Section 5.3, Section 5.4, Section 6.1 and Section 6.2.

(g) The limitations contained in Section 11.3(d) and Section 11.3(e) shall not apply to (i) any claims of common law fraud by Capitol or Bank or (ii) any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(i) or 11.1(b)(i) in connection with a breach of the representation and warranties contained in Section 5.1, Section 5.2, Section 5.3, Section 5.4, Section 5.8, Section 5.9, Section 5.10, Section 5.22, Section 5.30, Section 6.1 and Section 6.2.

(h) No Stockholder Indemnified Party shall be required to make any payment for any Damages disclosed in the Schedules to this Agreement.

11.4 Limitations On Losses. Anything in this Agreement or otherwise to the contrary notwithstanding:

(a) In determining the amount of any claim for which a claiming party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article 11, there shall be subtracted an amount equal to all insurance proceeds received by such claiming party with respect to such claim, net of any increase in insurance premiums incurred by the claiming party which can be reasonably demonstrated by such party to be directly related to such claim and any tax benefit that is actually recognized for tax purposes through an increase or reduction of taxes otherwise due.

(b) No Party shall be entitled to indemnification for the amount of any Damages in excess of the amount of such Damages which would have been incurred, but for: (i) the unlawful conduct of such Party; or (ii) the breach or default by such Party of any representation, warranty, covenant, obligation or agreement under this Agreement.

(c) For purposes of the indemnification provisions in this Article 11, the determination of (i) whether any representation, warranty or covenant has been breached and (ii) the amount of any Damages shall be made without giving effect to any “Material Adverse Effect” qualification or any materiality or similar qualification contained in the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements herein.

11.5 Treatment of Indemnification Payments. Any indemnification payment under this Agreement shall be treated by the Parties as an adjustment of the Merger Consideration and neither party shall take a position on a Tax Return or otherwise inconsistent therewith.
