effect as though made at and as of the Closing (except that any representation and warranty that relates to a specified date or a specified time period need only to have been so true and correct with regard to such specified date or time period),
except, in the case
3
of this clause (iii) only, to the extent the failure of any
such representations or warranties to be true and correct (without giving effect to any “Material Adverse Effect,” “material” or “materiality” qualifications contained in such representations and warranties) would
not, individually or in the aggregate, have, or reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect;
(2) the Company shall have performed and complied with, in all material respects, all covenants and agreements required to be performed or complied with by it at or prior to

(5) the Company shall have delivered to Purchaser the items described in Section 1.2(c)(i);
(6) the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities shall have approved the transactions contemplated herein pursuant to Section 112 of the Pennsylvania Banking Code of

(7) there shall be no Materially Burdensome Condition (as defined below) outstanding, in effect or threatened.

(1) the representations and warranties of Purchaser contained in this Agreement shall be true and correct as of the date hereof and as of the Closing (without giving effect
to any “material” or “materiality” qualifications contained in such representations and warranties) with the same force and effect as though made at and as of the Closing (except that any representation and warranty that relates to a specified date
or a specified time period need only to have been true and correct with regard to such specified date or time period), except to the extent the failure of any such representations or warranties to be true and correct (without giving effect to any
“material” or “materiality” qualifications contained in such representations and warranties)
4
would not, individually or in the aggregate, prevent or materially delay
the ability of Purchaser to consummate the Closing;
(2) Purchaser shall have performed and complied with, in all material respects, all covenants and agreements required to be performed or complied with by it at or prior to

result of a reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other like changes in the Company’s capitalization, or there shall be any extraordinary dividend or distribution, an appropriate and

contained in Section 2.2, or to one or more covenants contained in Article III.
(b) As used in this Agreement, the term “Material Adverse Effect” means any circumstance, event, change, occurrence, development or effect that (i) is, or is
6
reasonably expected to be, material and adverse to the business, assets, results of operations or
condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company and Company Subsidiaries taken as a whole or (ii) would, or would reasonably be expected to, materially impair or delay the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement or to
consummate the Closing; provided, however, that, in the case of clause (i) only, in
determining whether a Material Adverse Effect has occurred, there shall be excluded any effect to the extent resulting from the following: (A) changes, after the date hereof, in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) or regulatory accounting principles generally applicable to banks, savings associations or their holding companies, (B) changes, after the date hereof, in laws, rules and regulations by Governmental Entities, (C) actions or

the extent that any of the effects of such changes have a material and disproportionate effect on the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, relative to other banks, savings associations and their holding companies generally, in
which case such disproportionate effect will be taken into account in determining whether a Material Adverse Effect has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur.
“Previously Disclosed” with regard to the Company, means (i) information set forth on the Company Disclosure Schedule; provided, however, that
disclosure in any section of such the Company Disclosure Schedule shall apply only to the indicated section of this Agreement except to the extent that such disclosure is expressly cross-referenced in another section of the Company Disclosure Schedule

section of the Company Disclosure Schedule and (ii) information publicly disclosed by the Company in (A) its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, as filed by it with the SEC on February 24, 2020 (the “Company 10-K”),

(a) From the date hereof and continuing following the Closing for so long as Purchaser owns any Securities, the Company will (i) permit Purchaser, its Affiliates and any employees or other representatives of the
Purchaser or any such Affiliate, to visit and inspect the properties of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, to examine the corporate books and to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries with the
principal officers of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, all upon reasonable notice and at such reasonable times and as often as Purchaser may reasonably request, (ii) make appropriate officers and directors of the Company and Company
Subsidiaries available periodically and at such times as reasonably requested by Purchaser for consultation with
30
Purchaser or its designated representative with respect to matters relating to the business and affairs of the
Company and Company Subsidiaries and (iii) to the extent not prohibited by applicable Law (and with respect to events which require public disclosure in the Company’s reasonable determination, only following the Company’s public disclosure thereof
through applicable securities law filings or otherwise), inform the Purchaser or its designated representative in advance with respect to any significant corporate actions, and to provide Purchaser or its designated representative with the right to
consult with the Company and Company Subsidiaries with respect to such actions. From Closing until the Board Representative is appointed to the Board of Directors of the Company, the Company will deliver to Purchaser, promptly following its delivery to
the Company’s senior management, (A) the monthly financial reporting package delivered to the Company’s senior management and (B) any other periodic financial reports prepared by or on behalf of the Company and the Company’s Subsidiaries for the senior
management of the Company. Any investigation pursuant to this Section 3.2 shall be conducted during normal business hours and in such manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of the business of the Company, and nothing herein
shall require the Company or any Company Subsidiary to disclose any information to the extent (x) prohibited by Law, (y) that the Company reasonably believes such information to be competitively sensitive proprietary information or (z) that such
disclosure would reasonably be expected to cause a violation of any agreement made available to Purchaser to which the Company or any Company Subsidiary is a party or would cause a risk of a loss of attorney-client privilege to the Company or any
Company Subsidiary (after giving due consideration to the existence of any common interest, joint defense or similar agreement between the parties). The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make appropriate substitute disclosure
arrangements under circumstances in which the restrictions of the preceding sentence apply.
(b) Purchaser and the Company shall hold all information furnished by or on behalf of the other party or its Affiliates or their respective Representatives in confidence to the extent required by, and in
accordance with, the provisions of the non-disclosure agreement, dated July 21, 2020, among Purchaser and the Company (the “Confidentiality Agreement”).
(c) From the date hereof until the Closing, the Company shall not, and it shall cause its Affiliates and its and each such Affiliate’s respective representatives, directors, officers, employees,
consultants, attorneys, accountants and agents (“Representative”) not to, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, (i) negotiate, enter into, agree to, pursue, solicit or
encourage any offer or proposal, or the making of any offer or proposal, letter of intent or other indication of interest (including by way of furnishing any information concerning or relating to the Company or its business, whether oral, written,
electronic or otherwise, including without limitation any and all notes, memoranda, summaries, compilations, forecasts, studies, data, analyses or other documents prepared by the Company or any of its Representatives which use, contain, are derived
from, incorporate or otherwise reflect such information (collectively, the “Company Evaluation Material”), or access to any such Company Evaluation Material), or enter into any agreement, arrangement or
understanding with respect to, or otherwise assist any person in such person’s consideration, evaluation or pursuit of, (1) a possible recapitalization or other disposition of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company or (2) any
transaction substantially similar to the transaction contemplated hereby with any other person (other than Purchaser) (any such transaction, an “Alternative Transaction”) or
31
(ii) provide any Company Evaluation Material or information relating to the transaction contemplated hereby or
any Alternative Transaction to any other person in connection with or relating to any Alternative Transaction.
Section 3.3 Conduct of the Business. Prior to the earlier of the Closing and the termination of this Agreement
pursuant to Section 5.1 (the “Pre-Closing Period”), the Company shall, and shall cause each Company Subsidiary to, use
reasonable best efforts to carry on its business in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and maintain and preserve its and such Company Subsidiary’s business (including its organization, assets, properties, goodwill and
insurance coverage) and preserve its business relationships with customers, strategic partners, suppliers, distributors and others having business dealings with it; provided that nothing in this sentence shall require any actions that are
prohibited by applicable Law. During the Pre-Closing Period, the Company shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to:
(a) make, declare or pay any dividend (other than dividends on its Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and in accordance with the terms
thereof) or make any other distribution on, or directly or indirectly redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire, any shares of its capital stock or any securities or obligations convertible (whether currently convertible or convertible only after the
passage of time or the occurrence of certain events) into or exchangeable for any shares of its capital stock; or
(b) amend the Company Articles, Company Bylaws or comparable governing or organizational document of any of the Company Subsidiaries (except as contemplated by this Agreement).
If the Company takes any action that would require any antidilution adjustment to be made
under the Certificate of Designation or the Warrants as if issued on the date of this Agreement, the Company shall make appropriate adjustments such that Purchaser will receive the benefit of such transaction as if the Securities to be delivered and
paid for by Purchaser on the Closing Date had been outstanding as of the date of such action.
Section 3.4 Preferred Stock Covenant. The Company agrees to treat the Series C Preferred Stock as stock that participates in the corporate growth of the Company to a significant extent within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section
1.305-5(a), and hence will not treat the Series C Preferred Stock as “preferred stock” for purposes of the Code.
ARTICLE IV
ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS
ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS
Section 4.1 Transfer Restrictions.
(a) Restrictions on Transfer. From and after the Closing, Purchaser shall not, except as otherwise permitted in this Agreement, transfer, sell, assign or
otherwise dispose of (“Transfer”) any shares of Series C Preferred Stock acquired pursuant to this Agreement, except Purchaser may Transfer:
32
(i) any shares of Series C Preferred Stock to any person at any time with the prior written consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned
or delayed);
(ii) any shares of Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to a conversion in accordance with the Certificate of Designation;
(iii) subject to Section 4.1(c), any shares of Series C Preferred Stock to any person at any time following the date that is the two year anniversary of the Closing
Date; and
(iv) any shares of Series C Preferred Stock in accordance with Section 4.1(b).
(b) Purchaser Permitted Transfers. Purchaser may at any time Transfer any portion or all of its Securities as follows (each, a “Permitted Transfer”):
(i) any Transfer of any Securities to (A) any Affiliate of Purchaser (any such transferee shall be included in the term “Purchaser”) or (B) any direct or indirect limited
partner, shareholder or member of Purchaser, but in each case only if the transferee agrees in writing for the benefit of the Company (with a copy thereof to be furnished to the Company) to be bound by the terms of this Agreement;
(ii) any Transfer pursuant to a merger, division, consolidation, tender offer or exchange offer or other business combination, acquisition of assets or similar transaction or
change of control involving the Company or any Company Subsidiaries; provided that such transaction has been approved by the Board of Directors (or a committee thereof);
(iii) any Transfer to the Company; and
(iv) to the extent Purchaser determines, in its reasonable discretion, that such Transfer is necessary or advisable to avoid a Materially Burdensome Condition.
(c) In the event Purchaser intends to effect the Transfer of any shares of Series C Preferred Stock owned by it in accordance with Section 4.1(a)(iii), it shall first offer to Transfer such shares to the Company in writing (the “ROFR Notice”). The ROFR Notice shall specify the number of shares to be Transferred and the proposed
terms. The Company, if it desires to accept such offer, shall give Purchaser written notice to such effect (the “Acceptance Notice”) within two Business Days of its receipt of the ROFR Notice (the “Acceptance
Period”). If the Company sends the Acceptance Notice to Purchaser during the Acceptance Period, the parties shall have five Business Days to negotiate definitive documents and consummate the Transfer. If the
Company shall fail to give the Acceptance Notice to Purchaser during the Acceptance Period or otherwise elects not to participate in the Transfer, or if the parties fail to consummate such Transfer during such five Business Day period, Purchaser
shall be free to consummate, within 120 days following the expiration of such five Business Day period (such
33
date, the “ROFR Outside Date”), a Transfer with a
third party; provided, however, that if on the ROFR Outside Date any requisite
regulatory approval applicable to the proposed Transfer to such third party is outstanding, the ROFR Outside Date shall be automatically extended as necessary to obtain such regulatory approval (but not more than 6 months following the ROFR Outside
Date).
Section 4.2 Governance Matters.
(a) Purchaser may, within sixty days of the Closing Date, nominate one employee of Stone Point Capital LLC (or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates) to be appointed to the Board of Directors. The Company
shall promptly cause such nominee (such nominee or any successor nominee selected by Purchaser, the “Board Representative”) to be appointed to the Board of Directors as a “Class II” director and to the board of directors of TriState Capital Bank as a Class “II” director (the “Bank Board of Directors”); provided that such Board Representative must be (i) reasonably acceptable to the Company and (ii) satisfy any applicable corporate governance requirements under SEC rules and
regulations, the Nasdaq Exchange Listing Rules or similar authority as determined in the Company’s reasonable discretion; provided, further, that, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii), the Board Representative shall not be required to be “independent” under any such regulations or governance requirements. Following the
expiration of the Board Representative’s initial term, so long as Purchaser together with its Affiliates Beneficially Owns in the aggregate at least 4.5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (including as outstanding for this purpose any
shares of Common Stock issuable to any person upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock and shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, whether or not then convertible or exercisable by such person, and as adjusted from
time to time for any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other like changes in the Company’s capitalization), the Company will be required to (A) include the Board Representative
in the Company’s slate of director nominees and recommend to its shareholders that the Company’s shareholders vote in favor of the electing the Board Representative to the Board of Directors at the Company’s annual meeting, (B) use reasonable best
efforts to have the Board Representative elected as a director of the Company and the Company shall solicit proxies for each such person to the same extent as it does for any of its other nominees to the Board of Directors and (C) assuming the
Board Representative is duly elected by the shareholders of the Company, the Company shall and shall cause TriState Capital Bank to take such action as may be necessary to appoint the Board Representative to the Bank Board of Directors. In the event that the Board Representative is not elected to the Board of Directors by the Company’s shareholders, the Company shall, to the extent permitted by the Company Articles and Company Bylaws, increase the size of
the Board of Directors, and cause TriState Capital Bank to increase the Bank Board of Directors, by one and fill the resulting vacancies with the Board Representative.
(b) If Purchaser together with its Affiliates no longer Beneficially Own in the aggregate the minimum percentage of Securities specified above in Section 4.2(a), Purchaser will have no further rights under Sections 4.2(a)
through 4.2(d) and, at the written request of the Board of Directors, shall use all reasonable best efforts to cause its Board Representative to resign from the Board of Directors and the Bank Board of Directors as promptly as reasonably
practicable thereafter.
34
(c) At the option of the Board Representative, the Board of Directors shall cause the Board Representative to be appointed to one or more committees of the Board of Directors (or any successor committee thereto) and the
Bank Board of Directors as selected by Purchaser so long as the Board Representative qualifies to serve on such committees under the applicable rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market, subject to the Company’s corporate governance guidelines and the charter
of such committee.
(d) Subject to Section 4.2(a), Purchaser shall have the power to designate the Board Representative’s replacement upon the death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office of such director.
The Board of Directors or the Bank Board of Directors, as applicable, will promptly take all action reasonably required to fill the vacancy resulting therefrom with such person (including using all reasonable best efforts to have such person elected
as director of the Company and the Company soliciting proxies for such person to the same extent as it does for any of its other nominees to the Board of Directors or the Bank Board of Directors, as applicable).
(e) Without limiting the right of Purchaser and its Affiliates to provide additional compensation to the Board Representative, the Board Representative shall be entitled to receive from the Company and the Company
Subsidiaries, if applicable, the same compensation and same indemnification in connection with his or her role as a director as the other members of the Board of Directors or the Bank Board of Directors, as applicable, and each Board Representative
shall be entitled to reimbursement for documented, reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in attending meetings of the Board of Directors or the Bank Board of Directors, as applicable, or any committees thereof, to the same extent as the other
members of the Board of Directors or the Bank Board of Directors, as applicable. The Company shall notify the Board Representative of all regular and special meetings of the Board of Directors or the Bank Board of Directors, as applicable, and shall
notify the Board Representative of all regular and special meetings of any committee of the Board of Directors or the Bank Board of Directors, as applicable, of which the Board Representative is a member. The Company shall provide the Board
Representative with copies of all notices, minutes, consents and other materials provided to all other members of the Board of Directors or the Bank Board of Directors, as applicable, concurrently as such materials are provided to the other members.
(f) The Company acknowledges that the Board Representative (a “Purchaser Indemnitee”) may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or
insurance provided by Purchaser and/or certain of its affiliates (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnitors”). The Company hereby agrees (i) that it is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations
to each Purchaser Indemnitee are primary and any obligation of Purchaser Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by any Purchaser Indemnitee are secondary), and (ii) that it shall
be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by each Purchaser Indemnitee and shall be liable for the full amount of all expenses and liabilities, in each case, to the extent legally permitted and as required by the terms of this
Agreement and the Company Articles and Company Bylaws (and any other agreement regarding indemnification between the Company and any Purchaser Indemnitee), without regard to any rights a Purchaser Indemnitee may have against any Purchaser
Indemnitor. The Company further agrees that no advancement or payment by any Purchaser Indemnitor on behalf of any Purchaser Indemnitee with respect to any claim for which
35
such Purchaser Indemnitee has sought indemnification from the Company shall affect the foregoing and Purchaser
Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of such Purchaser Indemnitee against the Company. The Company and each Purchaser Indemnitee agree that
Purchaser Indemnitors are express third-party beneficiaries of the terms of this Section 4.2(f).
Section 4.3 Legend.
(a) Purchaser agrees that all certificates or other instruments representing the Securities subject to this Agreement will bear a legend substantially to the following effect, except that the legend in clause (ii) below
will only appear on Series C Preferred Stock:
(i) THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR QUALIFIED UNDER ANY STATE SECURITIES
LAWS AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS (I) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATING THERETO IS EFFECTIVE UNDER THE ACT AND IS QUALIFIED UNDER APPLICABLE STATE LAW OR (II) THE TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION
UNDER THE ACT AND THE QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS UNDER APPLICABLE STATE LAW.
(ii) THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO TRANSFER AND OTHER RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN AN INVESTMENT AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF OCTOBER 10, 2020, COPIES
OF WHICH ARE ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE ISSUER.
(b) Upon request of Purchaser, the Company shall promptly cause clause (i) of the legend to be removed from any certificate for any Securities held by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates; provided that Purchaser
will provide supporting documentation to the Company to the effect that such legend is no longer required under the Securities Act. The Company shall, whether or not requested by Purchaser, cause clause (ii) of the legend to be removed upon the two
year anniversary of the Closing Date.
Section 4.4 Bank Regulatory Matters. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (a) neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary shall take any action (including any redemption, repurchase, rescission or
recapitalization of Common Stock, or securities or rights, options or warrants to purchase Common Stock, or securities of any type whatsoever that are, or may become, convertible into or exchangeable into or exercisable for Common Stock in each case,
where Purchaser is not given the right to participate in such redemption, repurchase, rescission or recapitalization to the extent of Purchaser’s pro rata proportion) and (b) Purchaser shall not be required to take any action, or accept or agree to
the existence of any condition, in each case, that would reasonably be expected to pose a substantial risk that Purchaser, its Affiliates or any of their partners or principals would (x) be deemed to
36
own, control or have the power to vote 10% or more of any class of voting securities of the
Company for purposes of any applicable federal or state banking Law or regulation, (y) control, or be presumed to control, the Company for purposes of the BHC Act or the Change in Bank Control Act of 1978, as amended (the “CIBC Act”), or (z) become subject to any requirement, restriction or condition imposed by any Governmental Entity pursuant to any federal or state banking Law in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby that would be
materially burdensome to them (each of (x) through (z), a “Materially Burdensome Condition”). In the event either party believes that the imposition of a Materially Burdensome Condition is reasonably likely
to occur, it shall promptly notify the other party hereto and shall cooperate in good faith with such party to modify ownership or, to the extent commercially reasonable, make other arrangements or take any other action, in each case, as is necessary
or advisable to avoid imposition of the Materially Burdensome Condition.
Section 4.5 Reservation for Issuance. The Company shall reserve that number of shares of Voting Common Stock, Non-Voting Common Stock and Series C Preferred Stock sufficient for issuance, including upon exercise or conversion, of
Securities owned at any time by Purchaser, without regard to any limitation on such conversion or exercise; provided that in the case of the Series C Preferred Stock and the Warrants, the Company shall reserve such sufficient number of shares
of Non-Voting Common Stock promptly following receipt of the Requisite Shareholder Approval pursuant to Section 3.1(b), and provide Purchaser with written evidence that the Board of Directors has adopted a resolution so reserving such shares.
Section 4.6 Certain Transactions. The Company will not merge or consolidate into, or sell, transfer, divide or lease all or substantially all of its property or assets to, any other party unless the successor, transferee or lessee
party, as the case may be (if not the Company), expressly assumes the due and punctual performance and observance of each and every covenant and condition of this Agreement to be performed and observed by the Company.
Section 4.7 Indemnity.
(a) The Company agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser and its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, partners, members, employees, representatives, successors and
permitted assigns, and each person who controls Purchaser within the meaning of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, from and against any and all actions, suits, claims,
proceedings, costs, losses, diminution in value, Taxes, liabilities, damages, payments, fees, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements), amounts paid in settlement and other costs (collectively, “Losses”) arising out of, relating to or resulting from (i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any (A) Company Fundamental Representation or (B) any other representation or warranty of the Company set forth in this Agreement or any
certificate delivered pursuant hereto, (ii) the Company’s breach of any agreements or covenants made by the Company in this Agreement or (iii) any action, suit, claim, proceeding or investigation by any Governmental Entity, shareholder of the
Company or any other person (other than the Company) relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
(b) Purchaser agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each of the Company and its Subsidiaries and each of their respective officers, directors, partners, members,
37
employees, representatives, successors and permitted assigns, and each person who controls the Company within
the meaning of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, from and against any and all Losses arising out of, relating to or resulting from (i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any
of Purchaser’s representations or warranties in this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant hereto or (ii) Purchaser’s breach of any agreements or covenants made by Purchaser in this Agreement.
(c) A party entitled to indemnification hereunder (each, an “Indemnified Party”) shall give written notice to the party indemnifying it (the “Indemnifying
Party”) of any claim that does not result from a third party with respect to which it seeks indemnification (a “Direct Claim”) promptly after the discovery by such
Indemnified Party of any matters giving rise to such claim. Such notice (a “Claim Notice”) shall describe in reasonable detail, to the extent practicable, such claim.
The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to the Direct Claim (a “Response Notice”). If the Indemnifying Party
does not deliver a Response Notice within such 30-day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have agreed to such claim and the Indemnifying Party’s obligation to indemnify, compensate or reimburse the Indemnified Party for the full amount
of all Losses related to or resulting therefrom.
(d) In case any such Action is brought against an Indemnified Party by any person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of any party to this Agreement or a representative of any of the
foregoing, with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is or may be obligated to provide indemnification under this Section 4.7 (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable, cause a Claim Notice regarding any Third Party Claim of which it has knowledge that is covered by this Section
4.7 to be delivered to the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have 20 days after its receipt of such Claim Notice to notify the Indemnified Party that, subject to the other provisions of this
Section 4.7, the Indemnifying Party has elected to conduct and control the defense, negotiation or settlement of the applicable Third Party Claim and any Action
resulting therefrom with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party and at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, (i) the Indemnifying Party will be
deemed to have thereby irrevocably and automatically waived any rights it may have to contest its obligations to indemnify the Indemnified Party under this Agreement for Losses indemnifiable hereunder arising out of or resulting from such Third
Party Claim and (ii) the Indemnified Party will have the right, but not the obligation, to participate in any such defense and to employ separate counsel of its choosing at its own expense; provided that if the Indemnified Party is advised by outside counsel that an actual or potential conflict of interest (including one or more legal defenses or counterclaims being available to such Indemnified Party or other
Indemnified Parties which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party) would make it inappropriate for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party with respect to the Third
Party Claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall pay the reasonable, out-of-pocket and documented fees, costs and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party; provided, further, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be required to pay for more than one such counsel (plus one local counsel in each relevant and applicable
foreign jurisdiction) for all Indemnified Parties in connection with any Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of the Third Party Claim within the 20-day period referenced in this Section 4.7, (x) the
38
Indemnified Party may defend against the Third Party Claim and (y) the Indemnifying Party will have the right,
but not the obligation, to participate in any such defense and to employ separate counsel of its choosing at its own expense. The Indemnifying Party shall be liable to the Indemnified Party for the reasonable, documented and out-of-pocket fees, costs
and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by the Indemnified Party during any period in which the Indemnifying Party has not elected to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim.
(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.7 to the contrary, (i) the Indemnified Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, (x) consent to the entry of any Order, (y)
settle or compromise or (z) enter into any settlement agreement with respect to, any Third Party Claim, unless such Order or proposed settlement or compromise involves an unconditional release of the Indemnifying Party and does not contain any
admission or finding of wrongdoing on behalf of the Indemnifying Party and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, (x) consent to the entry of any Order, (y) settle or compromise or (z) enter
into any settlement with respect to, any Third Party Claim, unless the Order or proposed settlement or compromise (A) involves only the payment of money damages against which the Indemnified Party is indemnified by the Indemnifying Party, (B) does
not impose an injunction or other equitable relief upon the Indemnified Party and (C) does not involve a finding or admission of any violation of Law or other wrongdoing by the Indemnified Party.
(f) The failure by an Indemnified Party to timely or properly provide, pursuant to Section 4.7(c) or Section 4.7(d), any Claim Notice to the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of
its obligations hereunder except to the extent, and only to the extent that, the Indemnifying Party is actually and directly prejudiced by such failure.
(g) For purposes of the indemnity contained in Section 4.7(a)(i) and Section 4.7(b)(i), all qualifications and limitations set forth in such representations and warranties as to “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect” and words of similar import (other than the reference
to “Material Adverse Effect” in Section 2.2(j)(iii)), shall be disregarded in determining whether there shall have been any inaccuracy in or breach of any
representations and warranties in this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant hereto.
(h) Except in the case of fraud, the Company shall not be required to indemnify the Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 4.7(a)(i)(B), (i) with respect to any claim for indemnification if the amount of Losses with respect to such claim (including a series of related claims) is less than $25,000 (any claim or series of related claims involving Losses less
than such amount being referred to as a “De Minimis Claim”) and (ii) unless and until the aggregate amount of all Losses incurred with respect to all claims (other than De Minimis Claims) pursuant to Section 4.7(a)(i)(B) exceeds $1,000,000 (the “Threshold Amount”), in which event the Company shall be responsible for only the amount of
such Losses in excess of the Threshold Amount. Except in the case of fraud, Purchaser shall not be required to indemnify the Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 4.7(b)(i), (1) with respect to any De Minimis Claim and (2) unless and until the aggregate amount of all Losses incurred with respect to all claims (other than De Minimis Claims) pursuant to Section 4.7(b)(i) exceeds the Threshold Amount, in which event Purchaser shall be responsible for only the amount of such Losses in excess of the
39
Threshold Amount. Except in the case of fraud, the cumulative indemnification obligation of the Company under Section
4.7(a)(i)(B) shall in no event exceed the Purchase Price and the cumulative indemnification obligation of Purchaser under Section 4.7(b)(i) shall in no event exceed the Purchase Price.
(i) Any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 4.7(a)(i)(B) or 4.7(b)(i) can only be brought on or prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date; provided that a claim for
indemnification pursuant to Section 4.7(a)(i)(B) with respect to any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty set forth in Section 2.2(i) can be brought at any time on or prior to the sixtieth (60th) day after the
expiration of the applicable statute of limitations; provided, further that if notice of a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 4.7(a)(i)(B) or 4.7(b)(i) is
provided prior to the end of the applicable foregoing survival period with respect thereto, then the obligation to indemnify, defend and hold harmless in respect of such inaccuracy or breach shall survive as to such claim until such claim has been
finally resolved. Any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 4.7(a)(ii) or Section 4.7(b)(ii), in each case, with respect to any breach of any covenants or agreements contained herein the contemplate performance in full at or
prior to the Closing can only be brought on or prior to the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing Date; provided that if notice of a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 4.7(a)(ii) or Section 4.7(b)(ii) is
provided prior to the end of such twelve (12) month period, then the obligation to indemnify, defend and hold harmless in respect of such breach shall survive as to such claim until such claim has been finally resolved. Except as otherwise provided
in this Section 4.7(i), all claims for indemnification hereunder shall survive indefinitely.
(j) The indemnity provided for in this Section 4.7 shall be the sole and exclusive monetary remedy of Indemnified Parties after the Closing for any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty or any
breach of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement to the extent such covenant or agreement was required by its terms to be performed or complied with in full at or prior to the Closing; provided that nothing herein shall limit
in any way any party’s rights or remedies with respect to fraud by any other party in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
(k) No investigation of the Company by Purchaser, or by the Company of Purchaser, whether prior to or after the date hereof shall limit any Indemnified Party’s exercise of any right hereunder or be deemed to be a waiver
of any such right.
(l) Any indemnification payments pursuant to this Section 4.7 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for the Securities for U.S. federal income and applicable state and local Tax purposes, unless
a different treatment is required by applicable law.
Section 4.8 Exchange Listing. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause (a) the shares of Voting Common Stock issued hereunder and shares of Voting Common Stock to be issued upon the conversion of the Series C
Preferred Stock and/or exercise of the Warrants to be approved for listing on The Nasdaq Global Select Market, subject to official notice of issuance, as promptly as practicable, and in any event before the Closing and (b) the shares of Non-Voting
Common Stock issuable on conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock and/or on exercise of the Warrants and shares of Voting Common Stock issuable on Non-Voting
40
Common Stock to be approved for listing on The Nasdaq Global Select Market, subject to official notice of issuance, prior to the third (3rd)
Business Day following the receipt of the Requisite Shareholder Approval.

The Company has adopted, or as soon as practicable after the date hereof shall adopt, resolutions under and in accordance with Rule 16b-3(d)(1) under the Exchange Act exempting from Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act the acquisition of Voting Common
Stock at the Closing to the extent Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act is applicable to such acquisition of Voting Common Stock at the Closing.

Company shall, promptly following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and in any event prior to the Closing, enter into the Voting Agreements with the Company’s directors and “named executive officers” (as defined in Item 402 of Regulation
S-K under the Securities Act). The Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, enforce all of its rights and fulfill all of its obligations under each of the Voting Agreements. Without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, the
Company shall not amend, modify, withdraw or terminate any of the Voting Agreements or waive any of its rights thereunder.
Section 4.13 Form D and Blue Sky. The
Company agrees to timely file a Form D pursuant to Regulation D under the Securities Act with respect to the Securities issued to Purchaser. As soon as reasonably practicable following any reasonable request by the Company to Purchaser for any
information from Purchaser that is necessary for the Company to prepare and file a Form D pursuant to Regulation D under the Securities Act with respect to the Securities issued to Purchaser, Purchaser shall, to the extent such information is
available to or known by Purchaser, provide the Company with such information. The Company, on or before the Closing Date, shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary in order to obtain an exemption for or to qualify the Securities for sale
to the Purchasers at the Closing pursuant to this Agreement under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States (or to obtain an exemption from such qualification). The Company shall, at its sole cost and expense, make
all filings and reports relating to the offer and sale of the Securities required under applicable securities or blue sky laws of the states of the United States following the Closing Date.
Section 4.14 Use of Proceeds. The Company
shall only use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder for general corporate purposes, which may include working capital, providing capital to support the organic growth of TriState Capital Bank or funding the opportunistic
acquisition of similar or complementary financial service organizations
41
and may use a portion of such net proceeds to repay outstanding indebtedness of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
Section 4.15 No Change of Control. The
Company shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain all necessary irrevocable waivers, adopt any required amendments and make all appropriate determinations so that the issuance of the Securities to the Purchaser will not trigger a “change of
control” or other similar provision in any Material Contracts and any employment, “change in control,” severance or other employee or director compensation agreements or any Benefit Plan of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, which results in
payments to the counterparty or the acceleration of vesting of benefits.
Section 4.16 Notice of Certain Events.
Each party hereto shall promptly notify the other party hereto of (a) any event, condition, fact, circumstance, occurrence, transaction or other item of which such party becomes aware prior to the Closing that would constitute a violation or breach
of this Agreement (or a breach of any representation or warranty contained herein) or, if the same were to continue to exist as of the Closing Date, would constitute the non-satisfaction of any of the conditions set forth in Section 1.2(b)(ii) or
1.2(b)(iii), and (b) any event, condition, fact, circumstance, occurrence, transaction or other item of which such party becomes aware that would have been required to have been disclosed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement had such event,
condition, fact, circumstance, occurrence, transaction or other item existed as of the date hereof; provided that delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 4.16 shall not modify the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or
obligations of the parties (or remedies with respect thereto) or the conditions to the obligations of the parties under this Agreement. The Company shall provide prompt written notice to Purchaser if the Company becomes aware that transactions and
business relationships between the Company and the Purchaser Entities will, or are reasonably likely to, generate in the aggregate 7% or more of the total annual consolidated revenues or expenses of the Company. For purposes of this section, the
term “Purchaser Entities” means those companies identified by Purchaser to Company in writing from time to time as being controlled by, or otherwise affiliated with, Purchaser for purposes of the BHC Act.
Section 4.17 Shareholder Litigation. The
Company shall promptly inform the Purchaser of any actual or threatened Action against the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any of the past or present executive officers or directors of the Company or any Company Subsidiary by or on behalf of any
shareholder of the Company in connection with or relating to the transactions contemplated hereby (“Shareholder Litigation”). The Company shall consult with Purchaser and keep Purchaser informed of all material filings and developments
relating to any such Shareholder Litigation.
Section 4.18 Corporate Opportunities.
Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that the Purchaser and its Affiliates and related investment funds may review the business plans and related proprietary information of any enterprise, including enterprises that may have products or services
that compete directly or indirectly with those of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, and may trade in the securities of such enterprise. None of the Purchaser, any of its Affiliates, any related investments funds or any of their respective
Affiliates shall be precluded or in any way restricted from investing or participating in any particular enterprise, or trading in the securities thereof whether or not such enterprise has products or services that
42
compete with those of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries. The Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that: (a) the Purchaser and any related investment funds,
and any of their respective Affiliates, have the right to, and shall have no duty (contractual or otherwise) not to, directly or indirectly, engage in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as the Company and the Company
Subsidiaries; (b) the Board Representative, and any of his or her Affiliates, have the right to, and shall have no duty (contractual or otherwise) not to, directly or indirectly, engage in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as
the Company and the Company Subsidiaries; (c) in the event that Purchaser, the Board Representative or any related investment funds, or any of their respective Affiliates, acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter that may be a corporate
opportunity for the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries, none of Purchaser, any related investment funds, or any of their respective Affiliates, shall have any duty (contractual or otherwise) to communicate or present such corporate opportunity
to the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries; (d) in the event that the Board Representative, or any of his or her respective Affiliates, acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter that may be a corporate opportunity for the Company
or any of the Company Subsidiaries, neither Board Representative nor any such Affiliate shall have any duty (contractual or otherwise) to communicate or present such corporate opportunity to the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries; and (e)
notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, none of the Purchaser, any related investment fund, the Board Representative or any of their respective Affiliates shall be liable to the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries or
shareholders of the Company for breach of any duty (contractual or otherwise) by reason of the fact that Purchaser or any related investment fund thereof, the Board Representative, or any of their respective Affiliates, directly or indirectly, pursues
or acquires such opportunity for itself, directs such opportunity to another person, or does not present such opportunity to the Company; provided, however, in the case of the foregoing clauses (b) and (d), if the Board Representative
is presented with any potential transaction or corporate opportunity that is specifically identified as a potential transaction or corporate opportunity for the Company or its Subsidiaries (a “Company Opportunity”), then the Board
Representative shall be required to first present such Company Opportunity to the Company prior to the Board Representative’s pursuit of, or investment in, such Company Opportunity.
Section 4.19 Reservation of Shares. Upon
receipt of the Requisite Shareholder Approval and the Charter Amendment being declared effective by the Pennsylvania Department of State, the Company shall at all times ensure that a sufficient number of shares of Voting Common Stock is reserved for
issuance upon any conversion of shares of Non-Voting Common Stock that are issued from time to time.

TERMINATION
Section 5.1 Termination. This Agreement
may be terminated prior to the Closing:
(a) by mutual written agreement of the Company and Purchaser;
43
(b) by the Company or Purchaser, upon written notice to the other party, in the event that the Closing does not occur on or before February 10, 2021 (the “Termination Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant
to this Section 5.1(b) shall not be available to any party whose failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement shall have been the cause of, or shall have
resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or prior to such date;
(c) by the Company or Purchaser, upon written notice to the other party, in the event that any Governmental Entity shall have issued any Order or taken any other action restraining, enjoining or prohibiting any of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and such Order or other action shall have become final and nonappealable; or
(d) by either the Purchaser or the Company (provided that the terminating party is not then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained herein), if there shall have been a
breach of any of the covenants or agreements or any of the representations or warranties (or any such representation or warranty shall cease to be true) set forth in this Agreement on the part of the Company, in the case of a termination by
Purchaser, or Purchaser, in the case of a termination by the Company, which breach or failure to be true, either individually or in the aggregate with all other breaches by such party (or failures of such representations or warranties to be true),
would constitute, if occurring or continuing on the Closing Date, the failure of a condition set forth in Section 1.2(b)(ii), in the case of a termination by Purchaser, or Section 1.2(b)(iii), in the case of a termination by the
Company, and which is not cured within five days following written notice to the Company, in the case of a termination by Purchaser, or to Purchaser, in the case of a termination by the Company, or by its nature or timing cannot be cured during such
period (or such fewer days as remain prior to the Termination Date).
Section 5.2 Effects of Termination. In
the event of any termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 5.1, this Agreement (other than Section 3.2(b), Section 4.7, this Section 5.2 and Article VI, which shall remain in full force and effect)
shall forthwith become wholly void and of no further force and effect; provided that nothing herein shall relieve any party from any liability for fraud or intentional breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in
this Agreement.
ARTICLE VI

amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement will be effective with respect to any party hereto unless made in writing and signed by an officer of a duly authorized representative of such party. No failure or delay by any party in
exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The
conditions to each party’s obligation to consummate the Closing are for the sole benefit of such party and may be waived by such party in whole or in part to the extent permitted by Law. No waiver of any party to this Agreement will be effective
unless it is in a writing signed by a duly authorized officer of the waiving party that makes express reference to the provision or provisions subject to such waiver. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of
any rights or remedies provided by Law.
Section 6.4 Counterparts; Execution. For
the convenience of the parties hereto, this Agreement may be executed in any number of separate counterparts, each such counterpart being deemed to be an original instrument, and all such counterparts will together constitute the same agreement. This

Section 6.5 Governing Law. This
Agreement, and all matters arising out of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal Laws of the State of Pennsylvania without giving effect to any laws, rules or

they are not subject to such jurisdiction or that such action may not be brought or is not maintainable in such courts or that this Agreement may not be enforced in or by such courts, that the action is brought in an inconvenient forum, or that the
venue of the action is improper. Each party hereto agrees that service in person or by certified or by nationally recognized overnight courier to its address set forth in Section 6.7 shall constitute valid in personam service upon such party
and its successors and assigns in any Action commenced pursuant to this Section 6.5. Each party hereto hereby acknowledges that this is a commercial transaction, that the foregoing provisions for service of process and the following
provisions for waiver of jury trial have been read, understood and voluntarily agreed to by each party and that by agreeing to such provisions each party is waiving important legal rights.

supersede all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, between the parties hereto, with respect to the subject matter hereof; and (b) neither party will assign this Agreement or any of its rights
or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other party (any attempted assignment in contravention hereof being null and void); provided that Purchaser may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any

Section 6.11 Severability. If any
provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person (including the officers and directors of the parties hereto) or circumstance is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining
provisions hereof, or the application of such provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it has been held invalid or unenforceable, will remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated
thereby, so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith in an effort to agree
upon a suitable and equitable substitute provision to effect the original intent of the parties.
Section 6.12 No Third Party Beneficiaries.
Nothing contained in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any person other than the parties hereto, any benefit right or remedies, except that the provisions of Sections 4.7 and Section 4.2(f) shall inure

public disclosure.
Section 6.15 Specific Performance. The
parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms. It is accordingly agreed that the parties hereto shall be entitled to seek
specific performance of the terms hereof, this being in addition to any
49
other remedies to which they are entitled at law or equity. Each of the parties hereto hereby further waives (a) any defense in any action for specific performance
that a remedy at law would be adequate and (b) any requirement under any law to post security or a bond as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief.
Section 6.16 Non-Recourse. All claims or
causes of action or other Actions (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any representation or
