Ladies and Gentlemen:

Territorial Bancorp Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), Territorial Mutual Holding Company, a federally chartered mutual holding company (the “MHC”), Territorial Savings Group, Inc., a federal corporation (“Territorial Savings Group”), and Territorial Savings Bank, a federal savings bank located in Honolulu, Hawaii (the “Bank” and, together with the Company, the MHC and Territorial Savings Group, the “Territorial Parties”) (references to the “Bank” include the Bank in the mutual holding company or stock holding company form of organization, as indicated by the context), the deposit accounts of which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), hereby confirm their agreement with Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxx, Inc. (the “Agent”) as follows:

Section 1. The Offering. The Bank, in accordance with the plan of conversion and reorganization adopted by the Board of Directors of each of the Territorial Parties, as amended (the “Plan”), intends to convert from the mutual holding company form of organization to the stock holding company form of organization (the “Conversion”). In connection with the Conversion, the Bank will become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and the corporate existence of the MHC and Territorial Savings Group will cease. Pursuant to the Plan, the Company will offer and sell up to 10,637,500 shares (subject to increase up to 12,233,125 shares) of its common stock, $.01 par value per share (the “Shares” or “Common Shares”), in a subscription offering (the “Subscription Offering”) to (1) depositors of the Bank with Qualifying Deposits (as defined in the Plan) as of September 30, 2007 (“Eligible Account Holders”), (2) the Bank’s tax-qualified employee benefit plans, including the employee stock ownership plan established by the Bank (the “ESOP”), (3) depositors of the Bank with Qualifying Deposits as of March 31, 2009 (“Supplemental Eligible Account Holders”), and (4) other members of the MHC as defined in the Plan. Subject to the prior subscription rights of the above-listed parties, the Company may offer for sale in a community offering (the “Community Offering” and when

referred to together with or subsequent to the Subscription Offering, the “Subscription and Community Offering”) the Shares not subscribed for or ordered in the Subscription Offering to members of the general public to whom a copy of the Prospectus (as hereinafter defined) is delivered with a preference given first to natural persons residing in the State of Hawaii. It is anticipated that shares not subscribed for in the Subscription and Community Offering may be offered to certain members of the general public on a best efforts basis through a selected dealers agreement (the “Syndicated Community Offering”) (the Subscription Offering, Community Offering and Syndicated Community Offering are collectively referred to as the “Offering”). It is acknowledged that the purchase of Shares in the Offering is subject to the maximum and minimum purchase limitations as described in the Plan and that the Company may reject, in whole or in part, any orders received in the Community Offering or Syndicated Community Offering.

In September 2002, the Bank’s mutual predecessor reorganized into the mutual holding company form of organization by forming the MHC. The MHC currently owns 100% of the outstanding shares of Territorial Savings Group. The MHC is a mutual holding company that has no stockholders and is controlled by its members. Territorial Savings Group currently owns 100% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Bank. Territorial Savings Group has not issued shares of its stock to the public. Pursuant to the terms of the Plan, upon completion of the Conversion and the Offering, the MHC and Territorial Savings Group will cease to exist and the Bank will be a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-155388) (the “Registration Statement”), containing a prospectus relating to the Offering, for the registration of the Shares under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”), and has filed such amendments thereof and such amended prospectuses as may have been required to the date hereof. The term “Registration Statement” shall include any documents incorporated by reference therein and all financial schedules and exhibits thereto, as amended, including post-effective amendments. The prospectus, as amended, on file with the Commission at the time the Registration Statement initially became effective is hereinafter called the “Prospectus,” except that if any prospectus is filed by the Company pursuant to Rule 424(b) or (c) of the rules and regulations of the Commission under the 1933 Act (the “1933 Act Regulations”) differing from the prospectus on file at the time the Registration Statement initially became effective, the term “Prospectus” shall refer to the prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) or (c) from and after the time said prospectus is filed with the Commission.

In accordance with Title 12, Part 563b of the Code of Federal Regulations (the “Conversion Regulations”), the MHC has filed with the Office of Thrift Supervision (the “OTS”) an Application For Conversion on Form AC (the “Form AC”), including the Prospectus and the Conversion Valuation Appraisal Report prepared by FinPro, Inc., dated February 27, 2009 and as amended or supplemented, regarding the estimated pro forma value of the Common Shares (the “Appraisal”), and has filed such amendments thereto as may have been required by the OTS. The Form AC has been approved by the OTS and the related Prospectus has been authorized for use by the OTS. In addition, the Company has filed with the OTS an Application H-(e)l-S (the “Holding Company Application”) to become a savings and loan holding company under the Home Owners’ Loan Act, as amended (“HOLA”) and the regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Control Act Regulations”).

Section 2. Retention of Agent; Compensation; Sale and Delivery of the Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Company and the Bank hereby appoint the Agent as their exclusive financial advisor and marketing agent (i) to utilize its best efforts to solicit subscriptions for Common Shares and to advise and assist the Company and the Bank with respect to the Company’s sale of the Shares in the Offering and (ii) to participate in the Offering in the areas of market making and in syndicate formation (if necessary).

On the basis of the representations, warranties, and agreements herein contained, but subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Agent accepts such appointment and agrees to consult with and advise the Company and the Bank as to the matters set forth in the letter agreement, dated September 5, 2008, between the Bank and the Agent (a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A). It is acknowledged by the Company and the Bank that the Agent shall not be required to purchase any Shares or be obligated to take any action which is inconsistent with all applicable laws, regulations, decisions or orders.

The obligations of the Agent pursuant to this Agreement shall terminate upon termination of the Offering, but in no event later than 45 days after the completion of the Subscription Offering (the “End Date”). All fees or expenses due to the Agent but unpaid will be payable to the Agent in next day funds at the earlier of the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined) or the End Date. In the event the Offering is extended beyond the End Date, the Company and the Agent may agree to renew this Agreement under mutually acceptable terms.

In the event the Company is unable to sell a minimum of 6,460,000 Shares within the period herein provided, this Agreement shall terminate and the Company shall refund to any persons who have subscribed for any of the Shares the full amount which it may have received from them plus accrued interest, as set forth in the Prospectus; and none of the parties to this Agreement shall have any obligation to the other parties hereunder, except as set forth in this Section 2 and in Sections 7, 9 and 10 hereof. In the event the Offering is terminated for any reason not attributable to the action or inaction of the Agent, the Agent shall be paid the fees due to the date of such termination pursuant to subparagraphs (a) and (d) below.

The Agent shall receive the following compensation for its services hereunder:

(a) A management fee of $50,000 payable in four consecutive monthly installments of $12,500 commencing in October 2008, all of which has been paid as of the date hereof. This fee shall be due as it is earned and shall be non-refundable.

(b) A success fee upon completion of the Offering of 1.00% of the aggregate purchase price of the Common Shares sold in the Subscription Offering and Community Offering excluding shares purchased by the Bank’s officers, directors, or employees (or members of their immediate family), any tax-qualified (including the ESOP) or stock-based compensation plans (except IRAs for the benefit of persons other than officers, directors or employees of the Bank or members of their immediate families) or similar plan created by the Bank for some or all of its directors or employees. The management fee will be credited against the success fee.

(c) If any of the Common Shares remain available after the Subscription Offering and Community Offering, at the request of the Company, the Agent will seek to form a syndicate of registered broker-dealers (“Selected Dealers”) to assist in the sale of such Common Shares on a best efforts basis, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the selected dealers agreement. The Agent will endeavor to distribute the Common Shares among the Selected Dealers in a fashion which best meets the distribution objectives of the Bank and the Plan. The Agent will be paid a fee not to exceed 5.5% of the aggregate Purchase Price of the Shares sold by the Selected Dealers. The Agent will pass onto the Selected Dealers who assist in the Syndicated Community Offering an amount competitive with gross underwriting discounts charged at such time for comparable amounts of stock sold at a comparable price per share in a similar market environment. Fees with respect to purchases effected with the assistance of Selected Dealers other than the Agent shall be transmitted by the Agent to such Selected Dealers. The decision to utilize Selected Dealers will be made by the Company upon consultation with the Agent. The fees set forth in this paragraph 2(c) shall be in addition to the fees to be earned by the Agent in connection with the Subscription Offering and Community Offering described in paragraph 2(b) above. However, in the event, with respect to any stock purchases, that fees are paid pursuant to this subparagraph 2(c), such fees shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, payment pursuant to paragraph 2(b).

(d) The Company and the Bank shall reimburse the Agent for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including costs of travel, meals and lodging, photocopying, telephone, facsimile and couriers. The Company and the Bank will reimburse the Agent for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses an amount not to exceed $175,000 (of which $125,000 will be related to the Subscription Offering and Community Offering and the remaining $50,000 would be utilized in the event of a Syndicated Community Offering). In addition, the Company and the Bank will reimburse the Agent for fees and expenses of its counsel not to exceed $100,000. The Company will bear the expenses of the Offering customarily borne by issuers including, without limitation, regulatory filing fees, SEC, Blue Sky and Financial Institution Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) filing and registration fees; the fees of the Company’s accountants, attorneys, appraiser, transfer agent and registrar, printing, mailing and marketing expenses associated with the reorganization; and the fees set forth under this Section 2.

Conversion Agent Services. The Agent shall also receive a fee of up to a maximum of $100,000 for certain conversion agent services set forth in the letter agreement, dated September 5, 2008, between the Bank and the Agent (a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B), $10,000 of which has already been paid to the Agent and is nonrefundable and the balance of which shall be payable to the Agent upon completion of the Offering. The Company and the Bank will reimburse the Agent up to a maximum of $10,000 for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with its conversion agent services.

Section 3. Sale and Delivery of Shares. If all conditions precedent to the consummation of the Conversion, including without limitation, the sale of all Shares required by

the Plan to be sold, are satisfied, the Company agrees to issue, or have issued, the Shares sold in the Offering and to release for delivery certificates for such Shares on the Closing Date against payment to the Company by any means authorized by the Plan; provided, however, that no funds shall be released to the Company until the conditions specified in Section 8 hereof shall have been complied with to the reasonable satisfaction of the Agent or its counsel. The release of Shares against payment therefor shall be made on a date and at a place acceptable to the Company, the Bank and the Agent as set forth in Section 14. Certificates for shares shall be delivered directly to the purchasers in accordance with their directions as provided by the Company to the Company’s registrar and transfer agent. The date upon which the Company shall release or deliver the Shares sold in the Offering, in accordance with the terms herein, is called the “Closing Date.”

At the time the Registration Statement, including the Prospectus contained therein (including any amendment or supplement), became effective, at the Applicable Time (as defined in Section 4(c) hereof) and at the Closing Date, the Registration Statement complied and will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations and the Registration Statement, including the Prospectus contained therein (including any amendment or supplement thereto), and any information regarding the Company contained in Sales Information (as such term is defined in Section 9 hereof) authorized by the Company for use in connection with the Offering, did not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and at the time any Rule 424(b) or (c) Prospectus is filed with the Commission and at the Closing Date referred to in Section 2 hereof, the Prospectus (including any amendment or supplement thereto) and any information regarding the Company contained in Sales Information (as such term is defined in Section 9 hereof) authorized by the Company for use in connection with the Offering will contain all statements that are required to be stated therein in accordance with the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the representations and warranties in this Section 4(a) shall not apply to statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Agent or its counsel expressly regarding the Agent for use in the Prospectus in the first sentence of the second paragraph under the caption “The Conversion; Plan of Distribution—Marketing and Distribution; Compensation.”

(b) Neither the Company nor the Bank has directly or indirectly distributed or otherwise used and will not directly or indirectly distribute or otherwise use any

prospectus, any “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405 of the 1933 Act Regulations) or other offering material (including, without limitation, content on the Company’s website that may be deemed to be a prospectus, free writing prospectus or other offering material) in connection with the offering and sale of the Shares other than any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus or other materials permitted by the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations distributed by the Company and reviewed and approved in advance for distribution by the Agent. The Company has not, directly or indirectly, prepared or used and will not directly or indirectly, prepare or use, any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus except in compliance with the filing and other requirements of Rules 164 and 433 of the 1933 Act Regulations; assuming that such Permitted Free Writing Prospectus is so sent or given after the Registration Statement was filed with the Commission (and after such Permitted Free Writing Prospectus was, if required pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Act, filed with the Commission), the sending or giving, by the Agent, of any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus will satisfy the provisions of Rules 164 and 433 (without reliance on subsections (b), (c) and (d) for Rule 164); and the Company is not an “ineligible issuer” (as defined in Rule 405 of the 1933 Act Regulations) as of the eligibility determination date for purposes of Rules 164 and 433 of the 1933 Act Regulations with respect to the offering of the Shares or otherwise precluded under Rule 164 from using free writing prospectuses in connection with the offering of the Shares.

(c) As of the Applicable Time (as defined below), neither (i) the Issuer-Represented General Free Writing Prospectus(es) issued at or prior to the Applicable Time and the Statutory Prospectus, all considered together (collectively, the “General Disclosure Package”), nor (ii) any individual Issuer-Represented Limited-Use Free Writing Prospectus, when considered together with the General Disclosure Package, included any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The preceding sentence does not apply to statements in or omissions from any Prospectus included in the Registration Statement relating to the offered Shares or any Issuer-Represented Free Writing Prospectus based upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Agent specifically for use therein. As used in this paragraph and elsewhere in this Agreement:

3. “Issuer-Represented Free Writing Prospectus” means any “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433(h) of the 1933 Act Regulations, relating to the offered Shares in the form filed or required or,

if not required to be filed, in the form retained in the Company’s records pursuant to Rule 433(g) under the 1933 Act Regulations. The term does not include any writing exempted from the definition of prospectus pursuant to clause (a) of Section 2(a)(10) of the 1933 Act, without regard to Rule 172 or Rule 173 of the 1933 Act Regulations.

If at any time following the date of first use of an Issuer-Represented Free Writing Prospectus there occurred or occurs an event or development as a result of which such Issuer-Represented Free Writing Prospectus conflicted or would conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement relating to the offered Shares or included or would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or would omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances prevailing at that subsequent time, not misleading, the Company has notified or will notify promptly the Agent so that any use of such Issuer-Represented Free-Writing Prospectus may cease until it is amended or supplemented and the Company has promptly amended or will promptly amend or supplement such Issuer-Represented Free Writing Prospectus to eliminate or correct such conflict, untrue statement or omission. The foregoing two sentences do not apply to statements in or omissions from any Issuer-Represented Free Writing Prospectus based upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Agent specifically for use therein.

be delivered to members of the MHC have been authorized for use by the OTS. No order has been issued by the OTS preventing or suspending the use of the Prospectus or the proxy statement, and no action by or before the OTS to revoke any approval, authorization or order of effectiveness related to the Offering is pending or, to the best knowledge of the Company, threatened. At the time of the approval of the Form AC, including the Prospectus (including any amendment or supplement thereto) by the OTS and at all times subsequent thereto until the Closing Date, the Form AC, including the Prospectus (including any amendment or supplement thereto), will comply in all material respects with the Conversion Regulations, except to the extent waived or otherwise approved by the OTS. The Form AC, including the Prospectus (including any amendment or supplement thereto), does not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the representations and warranties in this Section 4(e) shall not apply to statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Agent or its counsel expressly regarding the Agent for use in the Prospectus contained in the Form AC under the caption “The Conversion; Plan of Distribution—Marketing and Distribution; Compensation.”

(f) The Company has filed the Holding Company Application with the OTS and has published notice of such filing and the Holding Company Application is accurate and complete in all material respects. The Company has received written notice from the OTS of its approval of the acquisition of the Bank, such approval remains in full force and effect and no order has been issued by the OTS suspending or revoking such approval and no proceedings therefor have been initiated or, to the knowledge of the Company or the Bank, threatened by the OTS. At the date of such approval, the Holding Company Application complied in all material respects with the applicable provisions of HOLA and the regulations promulgated thereunder, except as the OTS has expressly waived such regulations in writing.

No approval of any other regulatory or supervisory or other public authority is required in connection with the distribution of the Prospectus and any supplemental sales literature that has not been obtained and a copy of which has been delivered to the Agent. The Company and the MHC have not distributed any offering material in connection with the Offering except for the Prospectus and any supplemental sales material that has been filed with the Registration Statement and the Form AC and authorized for use by the Commission and the OTS. The information contained in the supplemental sales material filed as an exhibit to both the Registration Statement and the Form AC does not conflict in any material respects with information contained in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus.

(h) The Plan has been adopted by the Boards of Directors of each of the Territorial Parties and, at the Closing Date, will have been approved by the members of the MHC, and the offer and sale of the Shares will have been conducted in all material respects in accordance with the Plan, the Conversion Regulations except to the extent waived or otherwise approved by the OTS, and all other applicable laws, regulations, decisions and orders, including all terms, conditions, requirements and provisions precedent to the Offering imposed upon the Company and the Bank by the OTS, the Commission, or any other regulatory authority and in the manner described in the Prospectus.

For the purpose of this Agreement, the Company will timely furnish to the Agent such information with respect to the Territorial Parties as the Agent may from time to time reasonably request.

(k) The Territorial Parties will take all necessary actions in cooperating with the Agent and furnish to whomever the Agent may direct such information as may be required to qualify or register the Shares for offering and sale by the Company or to exempt such Shares from registration, or to exempt the Company as a broker-dealer and its officers, directors and employees as broker-dealers or agents under the applicable securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions in which the Shares are required under the Conversion Regulations to be sold or as the Agent and the Company may reasonably agree upon; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to file any general consent to service of process, to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified, or to register its directors or officers as brokers, dealers, salesmen or agents in any jurisdiction.

percentages set forth in the Prospectus as the Agent may reasonably request; and they have found such amounts and percentages to be in agreement therewith (subject to rounding).

(j) At the Closing Date, the Agent shall receive a letter dated the Closing Date, addressed to the Agent, confirming the statements made by KPMG LLP in the letter delivered by it pursuant to subsection (g) of this Section 8, the “specified date” referred to in clause (i) of subsection (h) to be a date specified in the letter required by this subsection (h) which for purposes of such letter shall not be more than three business days prior to the Closing Date.

(n) At or prior to the Closing Date, counsel to the Agent shall have been furnished with such documents and opinions as they may reasonably require for the purpose of

(a) The Company and the Bank jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent, its officers and directors, employees and agents, and each person, if any, who controls the Agent within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20(a) of the 1934 Act, against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage or expense whatsoever (including, but not limited to, settlement expenses), joint or several, that the Agent or any of them may suffer or to which the Agent and any such persons may become subject under all applicable federal or state laws or otherwise, and to promptly reimburse the Agent and any such persons upon written demand for any expense (including all fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by the Agent or any of them in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any actions, proceedings or claims (whether commenced or threatened) to the extent such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions: (i) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto), the General Disclosure Package, any Issuer-Represented Limited-Use Free Writing Prospectus, any Issuer Represented General Free Writing Prospectus, preliminary or final Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), the Form AC (or any amendment or supplement thereto), the Holding Company Application (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or any instrument or document executed by the Territorial Parties or based upon written information supplied by the Company filed in any state or jurisdiction to register or qualify any or all of the Shares or to claim an exemption therefrom or provided to any state or jurisdiction to exempt the Territorial Parties as a broker-dealer or its officers, directors and employees as broker-dealers or agents, under the securities laws thereof (collectively, the “Blue Sky Application”), or any document, advertisement, oral statement or communication (“Sales Information”) prepared, made or executed by or on behalf of the Territorial Parties with its consent and based upon written or oral information furnished by or on behalf of the Territorial Parties, whether or not filed in any jurisdiction, in order to qualify or register the Shares or to claim an exemption therefrom under the securities laws thereof; (ii) arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in any of the foregoing documents or information a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not

misleading; or (iii) arise from any theory of liability whatsoever relating to or arising from or based upon the Registration Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto), preliminary or final Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), the General Disclosure Package, any Issuer-Represented Limited-Use Free Writing Prospectus, any Issuer–Represented General Free Writing Prospectus, the Form AC (or any amendment or supplement thereto) the Holding Company Application (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any Blue Sky Application or Sales Information or other documentation distributed in connection with the Conversion; provided, however, that no indemnification is required under this paragraph (a) to the extent such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions arise out of or are based upon any untrue material statement or alleged untrue material statement in, or material omission or alleged material omission from, the Registration Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto), preliminary or final Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), the General Disclosure Package, any Issuer-Represented Limited-Use Free Writing Prospectus, any Issuer-Represented General Free Writing Prospectus, the Form AC, the Holding Company Application, any Blue Sky Application or Sales Information made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company, by the Agent or its counsel regarding the Agent, and provided, that it is agreed and understood that the only information furnished in writing to the Company, by the Agent regarding the Agent is set forth in the Prospectus in the first sentence of the second paragraph under the caption “The Conversion; Plan of Distribution—Marketing and Distribution; Compensation”; and, provided further, that such indemnification shall be limited to the extent prohibited by the Commission, the OTS, the FDIC and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

(b) The Agent agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Territorial Parties, their directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Company or the Bank within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20(a) of the 1934 Act against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage or expense whatsoever (including but not limited to settlement expenses), joint or several, which they, or any of them, may suffer or to which they, or any of them may become subject under all applicable federal and state laws or otherwise, and to promptly reimburse the Territorial Parties, and any such persons upon written demand for any expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by them, or any of them, in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any actions, proceedings or claims (whether commenced or threatened) to the extent such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions: (i) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto), the Form AC (or any amendment or supplement thereto), the Holding Company Application, the preliminary or final Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any Blue Sky Application or Sales Information, (ii) are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in any of the foregoing documents a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (iii) arise from any theory of liability whatsoever relating to or arising from or based upon the Registration Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto), preliminary or final Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), the Form AC (or any amendment or supplement

thereto), the Holding Company Application, or any Blue Sky Application or Sales Information or other documentation distributed in connection with the Offering; provided, however, that the Agent’s obligations under this Section 9(b) shall exist only if and only to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement was made in, or such material fact or alleged material fact was omitted from, the Registration Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto), the preliminary or final Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), the Form AC (or any amendment or supplement thereto), the Holding Company Application, any Blue Sky Application or Sales Information in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company or the Bank, by the Agent or its counsel regarding the Agent, and provided, that it is agreed and understood that the only information furnished in writing to the Company or the Bank, by the Agent regarding the Agent is set forth in the Prospectus in the first sentence of the second paragraph under the caption “The Conversion; Plan of Distribution-Marketing and Distribution; Compensation.”

(c) Each indemnified party shall give prompt written notice to each indemnifying party of any action, proceeding, claim (whether commenced or threatened), or suit instituted against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have on account of this Section 9 or otherwise. An indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the defense of such action. In addition, if it so elects within a reasonable time after receipt of such notice, an indemnifying party, jointly with any other indemnifying parties receiving such notice, may assume defense of such action with counsel chosen by it and approved by the indemnified parties that are defendants in such action, unless such indemnified parties reasonably object to such assumption on the ground that there may be legal defenses available to them that are different from or in addition to those available to such indemnifying party. If an indemnifying party assumes the defense of such action, the indemnifying parties shall not be liable for any fees and expenses of counsel for the indemnified parties incurred thereafter in connection with such action, proceeding or claim, other than reasonable costs of investigation. In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (and any special counsel that said firm may retain) for each indemnified party in connection with any one action, proceeding or claim or separate but similar or related actions, proceedings or claims in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances.

Section 10. Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in Section 9 is due in accordance with its terms but is for any reason held by a court to be unavailable from the Territorial Parties or the Agent, the Territorial Parties and the Agent shall contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including any investigation, legal and other expenses incurred in connection with, and any amount paid in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding, but after deducting any contribution received by the Territorial Parties or the Agent from persons other than the other parties thereto, who may also be liable for contribution) in such proportion so that the Agent is responsible for that portion represented by the percentage that the fees paid to the Agent pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement (not including expenses) bears to the gross proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the Shares in the Offering, and the Territorial

Parties shall be responsible for the balance. If, however, the allocation provided above is not permitted by applicable law, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative fault of the Territorial Parties on the one hand and the Agent on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions, proceedings or claims in respect thereto), but also the relative benefits received by the Territorial Parties on the one hand and the Agent on the other from the Offering (before deducting expenses). The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Territorial Parties on the one hand or the Agent on the other and the parties’ relative intent, good faith, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Territorial Parties and the Agent agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 10 were determined by pro-rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 10. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions, proceedings or claims in respect thereof) referred to above in this Section 10 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action, proceeding or claim. It is expressly agreed that the Agent shall not be liable for any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense or be required to contribute any amount pursuant to Section 9(b) or this Section 10 which in the aggregate exceeds the amount paid (excluding reimbursable expenses) to the Agent under this Agreement. It is understood that the above stated limitation on the Agent’s liability is essential to the Agent and that the Agent would not have entered into this Agreement if such limitation had not been agreed to by the parties to this Agreement. No person found guilty of any fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 0000 Xxx) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not found guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The obligations of the Territorial Parties under this Section 10 and under Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company and the Agent may otherwise have. For purposes of this Section 10, each of the Agent’s and the Territorial Parties’ officers and directors and each person, if any, who controls the Agent or any of the Territorial Parties within the meaning of the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Agent on the one hand, or, the Territorial Parties on the other hand. Any party entitled to contribution, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action, suit, claim or proceeding against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made against another party under this Section 10, will notify such party from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission to so notify such party shall not relieve the party from whom contribution may be sought from any other obligation it may have hereunder or otherwise than under this Section 10.

Section 11. Termination. The Agent may terminate this Agreement by giving the notice indicated below in Section 12 at any time after this Agreement becomes effective as follows:

Based upon such conferences and such review of corporate records of the Company and the Bank as such counsel conducted in connection with the preparation of the information contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus and the Proxy Statement nothing has come to their attention that would lead them to believe that the Registration Statement (except for the financial statements and schedules, notes to financial statements, stock valuation information or other financial or statistical data included therein or omitted therefrom, as to which counsel need make no statement), at the time it became effective, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or that the Prospectus (except for financial statements and schedules, notes to financial statements, stock valuation information or other financial or statistical data included therein or omitted therefrom, as to which counsel need make no statement), at the time the Registration Statement became effective or at the Closing Time, or that the General Disclosure Package as of the Applicable Time, included or includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

In rendering such opinion, such counsel may rely, to the extent such counsel deems such reliance necessary or appropriate, on certificates of public officials, certificates or opinions of other counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, and as to matters of fact, officers’ certificates. Such counsel’s opinion need refer only to matters of federal law, the laws of the State of Hawaii, the State of Connecticut and the State of Maryland and, with respect to enforceability, New York law, and may add other qualifications and explanations of the basis of their opinion as may be reasonably acceptable to the Agent.
