NO REPRESENTATION IS MADE BY THE ISSUER AS TO THE AVAILABILITY OF THE EXEMPTION PROVIDED BY RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT FOR RESALES OF THESE SECURITIES.

(c) Removal of Legends. The Company will take such action as may be necessary and appropriate to cause the Transfer Agent to issue to the Purchaser new certificates representing the Shares without such restrictive legends as set forth in Section 4.2(b) in exchange for the certificates issued to the Purchaser under Section 2.3(a)(ii) of this Agreement upon the earliest to occur of the following: (i) such Shares are registered for resale under the Securities Act, (ii) such Shares are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144, or (iii) such Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(l) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) as to such securities and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions.

The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 4.2(c). Any fees (with respect to the transfer agent or otherwise) associated with the removal of such legend shall be borne by the Company.

(d) Cooperation by the Company. The Company shall cooperate, in accordance with reasonable and customary business practices with any and all transfers, whether by direct or indirect sale, assignment, award, confirmation, distribution, bequest, donation, trust, pledge, encumbrance, hypothecation or other transfer or disposition, for consideration or otherwise, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, by the Purchaser or any of its successors and assigns of the Securities and other shares of Common Stock such party may beneficially own prior to or subsequent to the date hereof in accordance with this Agreement.

Except with the prior written consent of the Company or as otherwise required by Law, the Purchaser will keep confidential and will not disclose, in whole or in part, any Confidential Information (other than to its Representatives), and the Purchaser will use its reasonable best efforts to cause its Representatives who are provided Confidential Information to keep such Confidential Information confidential in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.6 to the fullest extent as if they were parties hereto.

4.7 Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification of the Purchaser. The Company will indemnify and hold each Individual Purchaser and their directors, officers, shareholders, members, managers, partners, employees, agents, successors and assigns (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who controls any Individual Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, shareholders, managers, members, partners, employees, agents, successors and permitted assigns (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling Person (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs, interest and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and costs of investigation, preparation and defense (collectively, “Losses”) that any such Indemnified Person may suffer or incur as a result of (i) any breach of or inaccuracy in any of the representations or warranties made by the Company in this Agreement, (ii) any breach or default in performance of any of the covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement, or (iii) any action instituted against an Indemnified Person in any capacity, or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by any Governmental Authority, shareholder of the Company or any other Person who is not an Affiliate of such Indemnified Person, arising out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. The Company will not be liable to any Indemnified Person under this Agreement to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any Indemnified Person’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Indemnified Person in this Agreement. Any indemnification payment made pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as an adjustment to purchase price for Tax purposes, except as otherwise required by Law.

(b) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Promptly after receipt by any Indemnified Person of any notice of any demand, claim or circumstance which would or might give rise to a claim or the commencement of any Proceeding in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Section 4.7 (“Indemnification Claim”), such Indemnified Person will notify the· Company in writing of such Indemnification Claim; provided that the failure of any Indemnified Person to so notify the Company will not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that such failure will have materially and adversely prejudiced the Company (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, which determination is not subject to appeal or further review). In the event that any Indemnification Claim would or might give rise to a claim or the commencement of any Proceeding by a third party (“Third Party Claim”), the Company shall be entitled to assume and control the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Indemnified Person at the Company’s expense, ifthe Company gives notice to the Indemnified Person of its intent to do so within twenty (20) Business Days of the Company’s receipt of notice of the Third Party Claim from the Indemnified Person and agrees in writing, subject to the limitations and other provisions set forth in this Agreement, that it shall indemnify the Indemnified Person with respect to such Third Party Claim. In any Third Party Claim, any Indemnified Person will have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel will be at the expense of such Indemnified Person, unless: (i) the Company and the Indemnified Person will have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel; (ii) the Company will have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person in such Proceeding; (iii) the Third Party Claim does not seek solely monetary relief, (iv) the Company does not conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently, or (v) in the reasonable judgment of counsel to such Indemnified Person, representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflict of interest between them. The Company will not be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding related to any Indemnification Claim effected without its

written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; provided that in the event the Company has not (i) assumed the defense in such Proceeding and (ii) agreed in writing that it shall indemnify the Indemnified Person with respect to such Proceeding, nothing set forth herein shall prohibit the Indemnified Person from effecting a settlement of such Proceeding and initiating an Indemnification Claim against the Company following such settlement. Without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, the Company will not effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability arising out of such Proceeding, (ii) ascribes no fault on the part of such Indemnified Person and (iii) provides for solely monetary relief. In the event the Company exercises the right to undertake any defense against any Third Party Claim as provided above, the Indemnified Person shall reasonably cooperate with the Company in such defense and to the extent possible make available to the Company all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Person’s possession or under the Indemnified Person’s control relating thereto as is reasonably requested by the Company. Similarly, in the event the Indemnified Person is, directly or indirectly, conducting the defense against any Third Party Claim, the Company shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnified Person in such defense and to the extent possible make available to the Indemnified Person all witnesses, records, materials and information in the Company’s possession or under the Company’s control relating thereto as is reasonably requested by the Indemnified Person.

(i) Deductible. Except as provided otherwise in Section 4.6(c)(iii), the Company will not be liable for Losses that otherwise are indemnifiable under Section 4.6(a)(i) until the total of all Losses incurred by all Individual Purchasers collectively exceeds $350,000.

(ii) Maximum. Except as provided otherwise in Section 4.6(c)(iii), the maximum aggregate liability of the Company for all Losses under Section 4.6(a)(i) is the Subscription Amount.

(iii) Exceptions. The provisions of Section 4.6(c)(i) and (ii) do not apply to (A) claims due to the inaccuracy of any of the representations or breach of any warranties of the Company in Sections 3.l(a), 3.l(b), 3.l(c), 3.l(e), 3.l(f), 3.l(g), 3.l(i) and 3.l(nn) or (B) indemnification claims involving fraud or knowing and intentional misconduct on behalf of the Company. For purposes of the indemnity contained in Section 4.7(a), all qualifications and limitations set forth in the Company’s representations and warranties as to “materiality,” “Company’s Knowledge,” “Material Adverse Effect” and words of similar import shall be disregarded in determining whether there shall have been any inaccuracy in or breach of any representations and warranties in this Agreement.

4.8 Use of Proceeds. The Company intends to use all or substantially all of the net proceeds from the sale of the Shares to further capitalize the Company and the Bank for general corporate and working capital purposes. In addition, the Company may also use a portion of the proceeds of the offering to redeem all or a portion of its outstanding preferred stock or to repay all or a portion of our line of credit with First National Bankers Bank; if any.

4.10 Certain Transactions. The Company will not merge or consolidate into, or sell, transfer 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.

4.15 Governance Matters.

(a) Within ten (10) Business Days subsequent to the receipt of a written request (the “Request”) of the Purchaser to have a Board Representative (as hereinafter defined) appointed to the Board of Directors in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.15, the Company and the Bank will request, to the extent required, the non-objection or approval of the Federal Reserve to the appointment of the Board Representative. The Company further covenants and agrees that within five (5) days of the earlier to occur of (x) the receipt of the Request, if the approval or non-objection of the Federal Reserve is not required, and (y) the receipt of the non-objection or

approval of the Federal Reserve, the Board of Directors shall cause one (1) person nominated by the Purchaser to be elected or appointed to the Board of Directors as well as to the board of directors of the Bank (the “Bank Board”), subject to satisfaction of the legal, bank regulatory and governance requirements regarding service as a director of the Company and to the reasonable approval of the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board of Directors (“Governance Committee”) (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). After such appointment or election of a Board Representative, so long as the Purchaser has a Qualifying Ownership Interest, the Company will be required to recommend to its shareholders the election of the Board Representative at the Company’s annual meeting, subject to satisfaction of the legal and governance requirements regarding service as a director of the Company and to the reasonable approval of the Governance Committee (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If the Purchaser no longer has a Qualifying Ownership Interest, the Purchaser will have no further rights under Sections 4.15(a) through 4.15(c) 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 as promptly as possible thereafter. The Purchaser shall promptly inform the Company if and when it ceases to hold a Qualifying Ownership Interest in the Company and the Company shall provide, at its own expense, the Purchaser with all such information as the Purchaser may reasonably request for the calculation of Purchaser’s Qualifying Ownership Interest.

(b) The Board Representative shall, subject to applicable law, be one of the nominees of the Company and of the Governance Committee to serve on the Board of Directors. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the Board Representative elected as a director of the Company by the shareholders of the Company and the Company shall solicit proxies for the Board Representative to the same extent as it does for any of its other Company nominees to the Board of Directors. The Company shall ensure, and shall cause the Bank to ensure, that each committee of the Board of Directors and any equivalent committees of the Bank to which the Board Representative is appointed shall have at least four (4) members for so long as the Purchaser shall have the right to appoint a Board Representative. The Purchaser covenants and agrees to hold all such information obtained from its Board Representative in confidence pursuant to the confidentiality and non-disclosure provisions of Section 4.6 above.

(c) Subject to Section 4.15(a), upon the death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, or removal from office as a member of the Board of Directors or the Bank Board of the Board Representative, the Purchaser shall have the right to designate the replacement for such Board Representative, which replacement shall satisfy all legal, bank regulatory and governance requirements regarding service as a director of the Company, and shall be reasonably acceptable to the Governance Committee (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld). The Board of Directors and the Bank Board shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to take all action required to fill the vacancy resulting therefrom with such person (including such person, subject to applicable law, being one of the Company’s and the Governance Committee’s nominees to serve on the Board of Directors and the Bank Board, using all reasonable best efforts to have such person elected as director of the Company by the

shareholders 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, as the case may be).

(d) The Company hereby agrees that, from and after the Closing Date, for so long as the Purchaser, together with its Affiliates, in the aggregate has a Qualifying Ownership Interest, the Company shall, subject to applicable law, invite a person designated by the Purchaser and reasonably acceptable to the Board of Directors (the “Observer”) to attend all meetings of the Board of Directors and the Bank Board (including any meetings of committees thereof which a Board Representative would be permitted to attend) in a nonvoting, nonparticipating observer capacity. The Observer shall not have any right to vote on any matter presented to the Board of Directors or the Bank Board or any committee thereof. The Company shall give the Observer written notice of each meeting of the Board of Directors and the Bank Board at the same time and in the same manner as the members of the Board of Directors or the Bank Board (as the case may be), shall provide the Observer with all written materials and other information given to members of the Board of Directors or the Bank Board (as the case may be) at the same time such materials and information are given to such members and shall permit the Observer to attend as an observer all meetings thereof, and in the event the Company proposes to take any action by written consent in lieu of a meeting, the Company shall give written notice thereof to the Observer prior to the effective date of such consent describing the nature and substance of such action and including the proposed text of such written consents; provided, however, that (1) the Observer may be excluded from executive sessions comprised solely of independent directors by the chairman of the Board of Directors (or, if applicable, the lead or presiding independent director) if, in the written advice of counsel, such exclusion is necessary in order for the Company to comply with applicable law, regulation or stock

exchange listing standards (it being understood that it is not expected that the Observer would be excluded from routine executive sessions), (2) the Company, the Board of Directors, the Bank and the Bank Board shall have the right to withhold any information and to exclude the Observer from any meeting or portion thereof if doing so is, in the written advice of counsel, (A) necessary to protect the attorney-client privilege between such party and counsel or (B) necessary to avoid a violation of fiduciary requirements under applicable law and (3) the Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to cause its Observer to agree to hold in confidence and trust and to act in a fiduciary manner with respect to all information provided to such Observer. The Purchaser covenants and agrees to hold all such information obtained from its Observer as provided in the prior sentence in confidence pursuant to the confidentiality and non-disclosure provisions of Section 4.6 above. If the Purchaser and its Affiliates in the aggregate no longer have a Qualifying Ownership Interest, the Purchaser will have no further rights under this Section 4.15(d).

(e) The Board Representative shall be entitled to compensation, including fees, and indemnification and insurance coverage in connection with his or her role as a director to the same extent as other directors on the Board of Directors or the Bank Board, as applicable, and the Board Representative shall be entitled to reimbursement for reasonable documented, out-of-pocket expenses incurred in attending meetings of the Board of Directors and the Bank Board, or any committee thereof in accordance with Company policy.

(f) Each of the Company and the Bank acknowledges that the Board Representative may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by the Purchaser and/or certain of its Affiliates (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnitors”). The Company hereby agrees on behalf of itself and the Bank that with respect to a claim by the Board Representative for indemnification arising out his or her service as a director of the Company and/or the Bank (1) that it is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to the Board Representative are primary and any obligation of the Purchaser Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by the Board Representative are secondary), and (2) that it shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by the Board Representative and shall be liable for the full amount of all expenses and liabilities incurred by the Board Representative, in each case to the extent legally permitted and as required by the terms of this Agreement and the articles of incorporation or charter, as applicable, and bylaws of the Company and the Bank (and any other agreement regarding indemnification between the Company and/or the Bank, on the one hand, and the Board Representative, on the other hand), subject to the satisfaction of any conditions imposed on the advancement of expense as may be required by the articles of incorporation or charter, as applicable, or bylaws of the Company and the Bank or under applicable law and regulation, without regard to any rights the Board Representative may have against any Purchaser Indemnitor. The Company further agrees that no advancement or payment by any Purchaser lndemnitor on behalf of the Board Representative with respect to any claim for which the Board Representative has sought indemnification from the Company shall affect the foregoing and the 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 the Board Representative against the Company. The Company agrees that the Purchaser lndemnitors are express third party beneficiaries of the terms of this Section 4.15(f).

(g) For purposes of this Agreement, “Board Representative” means such person designated by the Purchaser to be elected or appointed to the Board of Directors and the Bank Board in accordance with all legal, bank regulatory and governance requirements regarding service and election or appointment as a director of the Company, or any individual designated as a replacement Board Representative pursuant to Section 4.15(c) hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall any failure to meet any applicable residency requirement be a valid reason for withholding approval of the Board Representative (or any replacement Board Representation) by the Governance Committee, the Board of Directors, the Bank Board or the Company, as the case may be, under this Section 4.15.

4.16 Rights to Purchase New Securities.

(a) For so long as the Purchaser, together with its Affiliates, has not transferred any Shares acquired pursuant to this Agreement to one or more third parties, Purchaser shall have the right to purchase, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, Purchaser’s Pro Rata Portion of (i) any Company Securities, or (ii) any Subsidiary Securities, in each case that the Company or the Company’s Subsidiary may propose to issue (each of (i) and (ii), the “New Securities”). Except as otherwise provided herein, the “Pro Rata Portion” of New Securities that the Purchaser shall be entitled to purchase in the aggregate shall be determined by multiplying (x) the total number or principal amount of such offered New Securities by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of shares

of Common Stock then held by the Purchaser (counting for such purposes all shares of Common Stock into which any shares of Nonvoting Preferred Stock owned by the Purchaser are directly or indirectly convertible, without regard to any limitations on conversion that may apply pursuant to the terms of the Nonvoting Preferred Stock), if any, and the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding (counting for such purposes all shares of Common Stock into which any shares of Nonvoting Preferred Stock owned by all shareholders are directly or indirectly convertible, without regard to any limitations on conversion that may apply pursuant to the terms of the Nonvoting Preferred Stock).

(b) The Company shall give Purchaser notice (an “Issuance Notice”) of any proposed issuance or sale by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company of any New Securities at least thirty (30) days prior to the proposed issuance or sale date. The Issuance Notice shall specify the price at which such New Securities are to be issued or sold and the other material terms of the issuance. Subject to Section 4.16(f) below, Purchaser shall be entitled to purchase up to Purchaser’s Pro Rata Portion of the New Securities proposed to be issued or sold, at the price and on the terms specified in the Issuance Notice.

(c) If Purchaser is to purchase any or all of its Pro Rata Portion of the New Securities specified in the Issuance Notice, Purchaser shall deliver written notice to the Company (an “Exercise Notice”) of its election to purchase such New Securities within thirty (30) days after the date of the Issuance Notice. The Exercise Notice shall specify the number (or amount) of New Securities to be purchased by Purchaser and shall constitute exercise by Purchaser of its rights under this Section 4.16 and a binding agreement of Purchaser to purchase, at the price and. on the terms and conditions specified in the Issuance Notice, the number of shares (or amount) of New Securities specified in the Exercise Notice. If, at the termination of such thirty (30)-day period, Purchaser shall not have delivered an Exercise Notice to the Company, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived all of its rights under this Section 4.16 with respect to the purchase of such New Securities (but not with respect to the purchase of future issuances of New Securities).

(d) The Company or the applicable Subsidiary thereof shall have sixty (60) days after the date of the Issuance Notice to consummate the proposed issuance or sale of any or all of such New Securities that Purchaser has not elected to purchase at the price and upon terms and conditions specified in the Issuance Notice; provided that, if such issuance is subject to regulatory approval, such sixty (60)-day period shall be extended until the expiration of ten (10) Business Days after all such approvals have been received, but in no event later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of the Issuance Notice. If the Company or a Subsidiary thereof proposes to issue or sell any such New Securities after such sixty (60)-day (or 120-day) period, it shall again comply with the procedures set forth in this Section 4.16.

(e) At the consummation of the issuance or sale of such New Securities, the Company or the applicable Subsidiary thereof shall issue certificates or instruments representing the New Securities to be purchased by Purchaser in connection with exercising its preemptive rights pursuant to this Section 4.16 registered in the name of Purchaser, promptly following payment by Purchaser of the purchase price for such New Securities in accordance with the terms and conditions as specified in the Issuance Notice.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall not be entitled to purchase New Securities as contemplated by this Section 4.16 in connection with issuances or sales of New Securities (i) to employees, officers, directors or consultants of the Company pursuant to any employee benefit plans or compensatory arrangements approved by the Board of Directors (including upon the exercise of employee stock options granted pursuant to any such plans or arrangements), (ii) as consideration in connection with any bona fide, arm’s-length direct or indirect merger, acquisition or similar transaction, (iii) in connection with the exercise or conversion of outstanding Company Securities or any interest payment, dividend or distribution in respect of outstanding Company Securities, (iv) in connection with any expedited issuance of New Securities undertaken at the written direction of an applicable Bank Regulatory Authority, or (v) in connection with the issuance of Company Securities pursuant to the Other Purchase Agreements. Purchaser shall not be entitled to purchase New Securities to the extent that such purchase would cause Purchaser to be in breach of its obligations under Sections 4.9 and 4.17, respectively.

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.16, if a majority of the directors of the Board of Directors determines that it is in the best interests of the Company to issue equity or debt securities on an expedited basis, then the Company may consummate the proposed issuance or sale of such securities prior to the

expiration of the time periods set forth in Sections 4.16(b) and (c) (an “Expedited Issuance”). In connection with such Expedited Issuance, the Company and the Board of Directors shall make appropriate provision in order to comply with the provisions of this Section 4.16 following the completion of such Expedited Issuance. The sale of any such additional New Securities under this Section 4.16(g) to the Purchaser and to the Other Purchasers pursuant to similar provisions in the Other Purchase Agreements shall be consummated as promptly as is practicable, but in any event no later than ninety (90) days subsequent to the date on which the Company consummates the Expedited Issuance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no rights of the Purchaser under this Agreement will be adversely affected solely as the result of the temporary dilution of its percentage ownership of Common Shares due to an Expedited Issuance under this Section 4.16(g); provided, however, that such rights may be adversely affected from and after such time, if any, that the Purchaser declines to purchase Common Shares offered to the Purchaser under this Section 4.16.

(h) The Company and the Purchaser shall cooperate in good faith to facilitate the exercise of the Purchaser’s rights under this Section 4.16, including to secure any required third party approvals or consents.

4.17 Avoidance of Control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall take any action (including, without limitation, any redemption, repurchase, rescission or recapitalization of Common Stock, or securities or rights, options or warrants to purchase Common Stock, Nonvoting Preferred Stock or other securities of any type whatsoever that are, or may become, convertible into or exchangeable into or exercisable for Common Stock) that would cause the Individual Purchasers, collectively and together with their affiliates (as such term is used in the BHC Act), (I) to be deemed to own (x) twenty five percent (25%) or more of the outstanding shares of any class of Voting Securities, or (y) (A) fifteen percent (15%) or more of the outstanding shares of any class of Voting Securities and (B) thirty-three percent (33%) or more of the total equity of the Company, or (II) to otherwise control the Company, under the BHC Act, the CIBC Act or any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder (or any successor provisions), in any such case without the prior written consent of each of the Individual Purchasers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event that the transactions contemplated hereby would cause the Individual Purchasers, collectively and together with their affiliates (as such term is used under the BHC Act), to be deemed to own (x) twenty five percent (25%) or more of the outstanding shares of any class of Voting Securities, or (y) (A) fifteen percent (15%) or more of the outstanding shares of any class of Voting Securities and (B) thirty-three percent (33%) or more of the total equity of the Company, or to otherwise control the Company, under the BHC Act, the CIBC Act or any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder (or any successor provisions), then the Individual Purchasers shall collectively purchase the highest aggregate number of shares of Common Stock and Nonvoting Preferred Stock (and the Subscription Amount (including each such Individual Purchaser’s portion of the Subscription Amount) shall be reduced accordingly) such

that the Individual Purchasers will not collectively be deemed to own (x) twenty five percent (25%) or more of the outstanding shares of any class of Voting Securities, or (y) (A) fifteen percent (15%) or more of the outstanding shares of any class of Voting Securities and (B) thirty-three percent (33%) or more of the total equity of the Company, or to otherwise control the Company, under the BHC Act, the CIBC Act or any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder (or any successor provisions). In the event either the Company or the Purchaser breaches its obligations under this Section 4.17 or believes that it is reasonably likely to breach such an obligation, it shall promptly notify the other party hereto and shall cooperate in good faith with such party to modify ownership or make other arrangements or take any other action, in each case, as is necessary to cure or avoid such breach.

4.18 Inspection. The Company shall permit the Purchaser, at the Purchaser’s expense, to visit and inspect the Company’s and each of its Subsidiaries’ properties; examine each of their respective books of account and records; and discuss with each of their respective officers their affairs, finances, and accounts, during normal business hours as may be reasonably requested by the Purchaser; provided, however, that (a) such right of inspection may be exercised by the Purchaser only once per calendar quarter, and (b) neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall be obligated pursuant to this Section 4.18 to provide access to any information that the Company or its Subsidiary reasonably and in good faith considers to be a trade secret or confidential information (unless covered by an enforceable confidentiality agreement, in form acceptable to the Company) or the disclosure of which would adversely affect the attorney-client privilege between the Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective legal counsel.

4.19 FDIC Final Statement of Policy on Qualifications for Failed Bank Acquisitions. So long as the Purchaser holds any Shares, the Company will not, without the consent of the Purchaser, take any action, directly or indirectly, through its subsidiaries or otherwise, that the Board of Directors believes in good faith would reasonably be

expected to cause the Purchaser to be subject to transfer restrictions or other covenants of the FDIC Final Statement of Policy on Qualifications for Failed Bank Acquisitions as in effect at the time of taking such action.

(iv) by the Company, upon written notice to the Purchaser, if (A) there has been a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Purchaser in this Agreement, or any such representation and warranty shall have become untrue after the date of this Agreement, such that Section 5.2(a) or Section 5.2(b) would not be satisfied and (B) such breach or condition is not curable or, if curable, is not cured prior to the date that would otherwise be the Closing Date in absence of such breach or condition; provided that the right of the Company to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 6.13(a)(iv) shall not be available if the Company is in material breach of any of the terms of this Agreement;

(v) by any party, upon written notice to the other parties, in the event that any Governmental Authority shall have issued any order, decree or injunction or taken any other action restraining, enjoining or prohibiting any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and such order, decree, injunction or other action shall have become final and nonappealable; or

(vi) by the Purchaser, upon written notice to the Company, if the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates receives written notice from or is otherwise advised by, the Federal Reserve that the Federal Reserve will not grant (or intends to rescind or revoke if previously granted) any of the written confirmations or determinations referred to in Section 5.l(k).

(b) Nothing in this Section 6.13 will be deemed to release any party from any liability for any breach by such party of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or to impair the right of any party to compel specific performance by any other party of its obligations under this Agreement. Upon a termination of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 6.13, this Agreement (other than Section 4.6 (except, in respect of any party, in connection with litigation against it by the other party or its Affiliates), Section 4.7 and ARTICLE VI (including, without limitation, this Section 6.13 and Section 6.14), 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 liability for willful breach of this Agreement.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special counsel to Community Trust Financial Corporation, a Louisiana corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the issuance and sale by the Company of _________ shares (the “Shares”) of common stock,· par value $5.00 per share (“Common Stock”), to ______________________ (the “Purchaser”), pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement by and between the Company and the Purchaser dated as of _________________, 2012 (the “Agreement”), This opinion is being given pursuant to Section 2.3(a)(iii) of the Agreement.

1.	The Agreement and the related schedules and exhibits thereto;


2.	The Registration Rights Agreement by and between the Company, the Purchaser and the other parties named therein, dated as of ___________, 2012 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), and all related schedules and exhibits thereto;

The Agreement, the Other Purchase Agreements and the Registration Rights Agreement have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Purchaser or the Other Purchasers, as applicable, each of the Agreement, the Other Purchase Agreements and the Registration Rights Agreement constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms, except (i) as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors’ rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies, and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contributions provisions may be limited by applicable law.

The execution and delivery by the Company of the Agreement, the Other Purchase Agreements and the Registration Rights Agreement and the performance by the Company of its obligations under the Agreement, the Other Purchase Agreements and the Registration Rights Agreement, including its issuance and sale of the Shares, do not and will not: (a) contravene or result in any violation of the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company, (b) require any consent, approval, license or exemption by, order or authorization of, or filing, recording or registration by the Company with any federal or state governmental authority (except as expressly contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement), ( c) violate any court order, judgment or decree, if any, applicable to or binding upon the Company or the Bank, ( d) result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, any material contract to which the Company or the Bank is a party or by which any of their respective assets may be bound, or (e) violate or conflict with, or result in any contravention of, any federal, Louisiana or Louisiana law, rule or regulation applicable to the Company or the Bank.


6.	The Shares have been duly and validly authorized and, when issued, delivered and paid for as contemplated in the Agreement, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and free of any preemptive right or similar rights contained in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws.


7.	The offer, sale and issuance of the Shares to the Purchaser in the manner contemplated by the Agreement, do not require registration under the Securities Act or any state securities or blue sky laws and was made pursuant to an exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder.


8.	Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

C. Comments, Assumptions, Limitations, Qualifications and Exceptions.

The opinions expressed herein are based upon, and subject to, the further comments, assumptions, limitations, qualifications and exceptions set forth below.

We have assumed that (a) all factual information contained in all documents reviewed by us is true and correct, (b) all signatures on all documents reviewed by us are genuine, ( c) all documents submitted as copies are true and complete copies of the originals thereof, ( d) the Purchaser has all power and authority to execute, deliver, and perform its obligations under the Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, ( e) the Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement have been duly and validly authorized, executed, and delivered by the Purchaser, (f) the Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement are valid and binding obligations of the Purchaser, enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with their respective terms, (g) the Purchaser has delivered the

Exhibit B / Page 2

full Purchase Price for the Shares to be acquired pursuant to the Agreement, (h) each natural person signing any document reviewed by this firm had the legal capacity to do so, and (i) each person signing in a representative capacity for the Purchaser any document reviewed by this firm had authority to sign in such capacity.

With respect to factual matters relevant to our opinions, this firm has reviewed and relied solely upon the representations of the Company and the Purchaser made in the Agreement and in certificates of officers of the Company referred to in Section A above, and we have not undertaken to verify independently any of such factual matters, provided that nothing has come to our attention that caused us to believe such representations and certificates contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

In rendering the opinions set forth in Paragraph B.1 with respect to the good standing of the Company, we have relied solely on certificates of state authorities of the Company’s good standing that this firm received in response to this firm’s requests for confirmation of such good standing in such jurisdictions. In rendering the opinion set forth in Paragraph B.1 with respect to the registration of the Company as a financial holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, we have relied solely on correspondence from the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas received in response to this firm’s request for confirmation of such registration and election of treatment. By necessity, our opinions set forth in Paragraphs B.1 are given as of the date of such certificates or correspondence. Nothing has come to our attention that would cause us to believe that such opinions have ceased to be valid as of the date of this opinion letter.


4.	In rendering the opinion set forth in Paragraph B.4.(d), we have relied exclusively on our review of the Company’s and the Bank’s “material contracts” within the meaning of Item 60l(b)(10) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, that have been identified and disclosed to us by the Company and the Bank.

We express no opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Louisiana and the federal laws of the United States of America. We express no opinion under the laws of the State of Louisiana or the federal laws of the United States of America with respect to any environmental, securities (other than as set forth in Paragraph B.6), tax or antitrust laws. We also express no opinion with respect to compliance by the Company or any other person with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, or any comparable state laws.


6.	Except as expressly set forth herein, we have made no independent investigation as to the accuracy or completeness of any representation, warranty, or other factual information, written or oral, made or furnished in connection with the documents referred to in Section A hereof, and no matters have come to our attention that would warrant such an investigation.


7.	We have assumed that the parties to the Agreement have acted and will act in good faith.

Although we have acted as counsel to the Company in connection with certain matters other than the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, the Other Purchaser Agreements and the Registration Rights Agreement, our engagement is limited to certain matters about which we have been consulted. Consequently, there may exist matters of a factual or legal nature involving the Company as to which we have not been consulted and have not represented the Company.

This opinion is rendered based upon our interpretation of existing law, to the extent specified in Paragraph C.4, and is not intended to speak with reference to standards hereafter adopted or evolved in subsequent judicial decisions by courts. The opinions expressed herein are as of the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to update or supplement such opinions to reflect any facts or circumstances that may hereafter come to our attention or any changes in law that may hereafter occur.

10.	This opinion letter is limited to the matters stated herein and no opinions may be implied or inferred beyond the matters expressly stated herein.


11.	This opinion letter is delivered solely for your benefit, and no other party or entity is entitled to rely hereon without the express prior written consent of this firm.

Very truly yours,

A Demand Notice shall also specify the expected method or methods of

disposition of the applicable Registrable Securities, including whether such Demand Registration is to be an underwritten offering. Upon receipt of such Demand Notice, the Company will notify all other Holders (other than the Demanding Holders) in writing and such other Holders shall have the right to request the Company to include all or a portion of such other Holders’ Registrable Securities in such Demand Registration by written notice delivered to the Company within fifteen (15) calendar days after such notice is given by the Company.

(b)Following receipt of a Demand Notice, subject to Section 2(c), Section 4 and, Section 6 and Section 16(h), the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to file, as promptly as reasonably practicable (but not later than ninety (90) calendar days after receipt by the Company of such Demand Notice in the case of a registration made on Form S-1 or comparable successor form, as applicable, or sixty (60) calendar days in the case of any registration eligible to be made on Form S-3 or comparable successor form, as applicable), a Registration Statement relating to the offer and sale of the Registrable Securities requested to be included therein by the Holders thereof in accordance with the methods of distribution elected by such Demand Holders (to the extent not prohibited by applicable Law) and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after the filing thereof (and in any event in accordance with Section 5), provided that if such Demand Notice relates to a Shelf Registration Statement, the provisions of Section 4 shall apply. The Holders shall have the right to request two (2) registrations per year pursuant to this Section 2. Demanding Holders holding at least a majority of the Registrable Securities held by the Demanding Holders shall have the right to notify the Company that they have determined that the Registration Statement and/or Shelf Registration Statement relating to a Demand Registration be abandoned or withdrawn, in which event the Company shall promptly abandon or withdraw such Registration Statement and/or Shelf Registration Statement. In the event any registration attempted under this Section 2 pursuant to which the Company would be responsible for the Registration Expenses of the Holders is not consummated, then the Company shall pay such expenses and shall remain responsible for such expenses of the Holders with respect to two (2) consummated registrations per year made under this Section 2; provided, however, that if a registration attempted under this Section 2 is not consummated solely as a result of the withdrawal of the Holders requesting such registration, unless such Holders reimburse the Registration Expenses incurred by the Company, such Registration Statement shall count against the two (2) Registration Statements that the Company is required to a consummate per year. In any Demand Registration involving an underwritten offering, the investment banker or investment bankers and manager or managers that will administer the offering will be selected by the Demanding Holders, subject to approval of the Company not to be unreasonably withheld.

(c)A Registration Statement filed pursuant to a Demand Notice may include Other Securities; provided, however, that the Company and any other such requesting holders agree in writing to enter into an underwriting agreement with usual and customary terms and to any lock-up or similar limitations applicable to the Holders. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2, if the representative of the underwriters advises the Holders and the Company in writing (a “Cutback Notice”) that it is their good faith opinion that the total number or dollar amount of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in such offering, together with any Other Securities proposed to be included by holders thereof which are entitled to include securities in such Registration Statement, exceeds the total number or dollar amount of such securities that can be sold without having an adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the Registrable Securities to be so included together with all such Other Securities, then there shall be included in such underwritten offering the number or dollar amount of Registrable Securities and such Other Securities that in the opinion of such managing underwriter(s) can be sold without so adversely affecting such offering, and such number of Registrable Securities and Other Securities shall be allocated for inclusion as follows: (i) first, to the Holder(s) requesting inclusion in such registration, pro rata among such Holder(s) on the basis of the number of shares of Registrable Securities for which each such Holder has requested registration, (ii) second, to the Company for any securities it proposes to sell for its own account, and (iii) third, to the other holders requesting inclusion in the registration, pro rata among the respective holders thereof on the basis of the number of shares for which each such requesting holder has requested registration. If a Person who has requested inclusion in such registration as provided above does not agree to the terms of any such underwriting, such Person shall be excluded therefrom by written notice from the Company, the underwriter or the Holder(s). The securities so excluded shall also be withdrawn from registration. A registration shall not be counted as “consummated” for purposes of the two (2) registrations per year requirement if, as a result of a Cutback Notice, fewer than fifty percent (50%) of the total number of Registrable Securities that Holders have requested to be included in such registration statement are actually included.

(d)Except as provided in Section 2(b) with respect to withdrawn Registration statements, all Registration Expenses of the Holders incurred in connection with two (2) registrations per year requested pursuant to this Section 2 shall be borne by the Company.

3.“Piggy‑Back” Registrations.

(a)Except with respect to a Demand Registration, the procedures of which are addressed in Section 2, if, at any time, the Company intends to file a registration statement under the Securities Act covering a primary or secondary offering of any of its Common Stock, Nonvoting Preferred Stock or Other Securities, whether or not the sale for its own account which is not a registration solely to implement an employee benefit plan pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-8, a registration statement on Form S-4 (or successor form) or a transaction to which Rule 145 or any other similar rule of the Commission is applicable, the Company will promptly (and in any event at least twenty (20) calendar days before the anticipated filing date) give written notice to the Holders of its intention to effect such a registration. Subject to Section 3(b) below and consultation with the underwriters, the Company will effect the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities that the Holder(s) request(s) be included in such registration (a “Piggyback Registration”) by a written notice delivered to the Company within fifteen (15) calendar days after the notice given by the Company in the preceding sentence. The Holders agree that any securities they request to be included in a Company registration pursuant to this Section 3 shall be included by the Company on the same form of Registration Statement as has been selected by the Company for the securities the Company is registering for sale referred to above. The Holders shall be permitted to withdraw all or part of the Registrable Securities from the Piggyback Registration at any time at least two (2) Business Days prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement relating to such Piggyback Registration.

(b)If the registration involves an underwritten offering and the representative of the underwriters provides the Company and the other Holders seeking to include securities in such offering in writing a Cutback Notice, then the number of Registrable Securities and Other Securities sought to be included in such registration shall be allocated for inclusion as follows: (i) if such registration is being effected by the Company, (A) first, to the Company for any securities it proposes to sell for its own account, (B) second, to the Holder(s) requesting inclusion in such registration, pro rata among such Holder(s) on the basis of the number of shares of Registrable Securities for which each such Holder has requested registration, and (C) third, to the other holders requesting inclusion in the registration, pro rata among the respective holders thereof on the basis of the number of Other Securities for which each such requesting holder has requested registration; and (ii) if such registration is being effected by a Person other than the Company or the Holders, in accordance with Section 2(c) above.

(c)If the Company elects to terminate any registration filed under this Section 3 prior to the effectiveness of such registration, the Company will have no obligation to register the securities sought to be included by the Holders in such registration under this Section 3. All the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance hereunder shall be borne by the Company. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall bear its internal expenses (including all salaries and expenses of their officers and employees performing legal, accounting or other duties) and expenses of any person, including special experts, retained by the Company. If the Company includes in such registration any securities to be offered by it, all Registration Expenses of the Holders will be borne by the Company. There shall be no limit to the number of Piggybank Registrations pursuant to this Section 3.

4.Shelf Take-Downs.

(a)The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to qualify for registration on a Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 as promptly as possible following the occurrence of the Initial Public Offering. Without limiting the foregoing, once the Company is eligible to effect a registration of its securities on a Shelf Registration Statement (including on Form S-1), any Holder will have the right to elect in the Demand Notice for any Demand Registration to be made on a Shelf Registration Statement, in which event the Company shall file with the Commission, as promptly as reasonably practicable, but not later than forty (45) calendar days after receipt by the Company of such Demand Notice (subject to Section 6), a Shelf Registration Statement relating to the offer and sale of the Registrable Securities requested to be included therein by the Holders thereof from time to time in accordance with the methods of distribution elected by such Holders (to the extent not prohibited by applicable Law) and shall use

its reasonable best efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after the filing thereof. Upon receipt of such Demand Notice, the Company will notify all other Holders (other than the Demanding Holders) in writing and such other Holders shall have the right to request the Company to include all or a portion of such other Holders’ Registrable Securities in such Demand Registration by written notice delivered to the Company within fifteen (15) days after such notice is given by the Company.

(b)At any time that a Shelf Registration Statement covering Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2 or Section 3 is effective, if a Holder delivers a notice to the Company (a “Shelf Take-Down Notice”) stating that one or more of the Holders intends to effect an underwritten offering of all or part of the Registrable Securities included by the Holders on the Shelf Registration Statement (a “Shelf Underwritten Offering”) and stating the number of the Registrable Securities to be included in such Shelf Underwritten Offering, then the Company shall amend or supplement the Shelf Registration Statement as may be necessary in order to enable such Registrable Securities to be distributed pursuant to the Shelf Underwritten Offering (taking into account the inclusion of Other Securities by any other holders).

(c)The Company shall deliver the Shelf Take-Down Notice to all other Holders whose securities are included on such Shelf Registration Statement and permit each Holder to include its Registrable Securities included on the Shelf Registration Statement in the Shelf Underwritten Offering if such other Holder notifies the Company within five (5) Business Days after delivery of the Shelf Take-Down Notice to such other Holder.

(d)If a Shelf Underwritten Offering is being conducted and the representative of the underwriters provides the Company and the other holders seeking to include securities in such offering in writing a Cutback Notice, then the number of Registrable Securities and Other Securities sought to be included in such Shelf Underwritten Offering shall be allocated for inclusion in accordance with Section 2(c).

(e)All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with such registration requested pursuant to this Section 4 shall be borne by the Company.

5.Procedure for Registration. Whenever the Company is required under this Agreement to register Registrable Securities, it agrees to do the following:

(a)prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement or Registration Statements on such form which shall be available for the sale of the Registrable Securities by the Holders or the Company in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof and use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective for one hundred eighty (180) calendar days (and, with respect to Shelf Registration Statements, for up to two (2) years each, if requested by the Holders selling Registrable Securities to complete the proposed distribution; upon the occurrence of any event that would cause the Registration Statement or the Prospectus contained therein to contain a material misstatement or omission, the Company shall file promptly an appropriate amendment to such Registration Statement correcting any such misstatement or omission;

(b)cause the Prospectus to be supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act, and to comply fully with the applicable provisions of Rules 424 and 430A under the Securities Act in a timely manner; and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution by the sellers thereof set forth in such Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus;

or to taxation, other than as to matters and transactions relating to the Registration Statement, in any jurisdiction where it is not now so subject;

(j)cooperate with the selling Holders and the underwriter(s), if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be sold and not bearing any restrictive legends; and enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the Holders or the underwriter(s), if any, may request prior to any sale of Registrable Securities made by such underwriter(s);

(p)make available for inspection by any Holder of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such Registration Statement, and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any such seller or underwriter (collectively, the “Inspectors”), all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Records”), as shall be reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such Inspector in connection with such Registration Statement; provided, however, that records that the Company determines, in good faith, to be confidential and which it notifies the Inspectors are confidential shall not be disclosed by the Inspectors unless (i) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in the Registration Statement, or (ii) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, further, that each Holder of Registrable Securities agrees that it will, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in a court of competent jurisdiction, give notice to the Company to the extent legally permitted and allow the Company, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action and to prevent disclosure of the Records deemed confidential;

(q)provide and cause to be maintained a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement not later than the effective date of such Registration Statement;

(r)use its reasonable best efforts to cause all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement to be listed on a national securities exchange or interdealer quotation system (or, if similar Company securities are already authorized to be listed on more than one national securities exchange or interdealer quotation system, on each such exchange or system on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed); and

(s)in the case of an underwritten offering, cause its officers to use their reasonable best efforts to support the marketing of the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement (including, without limitation, by participation in “road shows”) taking into account the Company’s business needs.

6.Lock-Up Agreement; Suspension of Sales.

(a)Subject to Section 6(b), the Company may postpone the filing or effectiveness of any Registration Statement required under Sections 2 or 4 for a reasonable period of time, not to exceed sixty (60) calendar days, if (i) the Company has been advised by legal counsel that such filing would require the disclosure of a material non-public fact, and (ii) the Company determines reasonably and in good faith that such disclosure would be materially harmful to the Company or would have a material adverse effect on a bona fide business or financing transaction of the Company.

(b)If (i) pursuant to the good faith judgment of the Company’s Board of Directors, the Company concludes, as a result of its determinations under Section 6(a), that it is essential to defer the filing or effectiveness of such Registration Statement at such time, and (ii) the Company shall furnish to the Holders a certificate signed by the President of the Company (a “Demand Suspension”), certifying as to the Board of Directors' determinations under Section 6(a) and that it is, therefore, essential to defer the filing or effectiveness of such Registration Statement or amendment (which certificate shall approximate the anticipated delay), then the Company shall have the right to defer such filing or effectiveness for a period of not more than ninety (90) calendar days after receipt of the request of the Holders; provided, however, that the Company shall not defer its obligation in this manner more than once in any twelve (12)‑month period. In the case of any Demand Suspension relating to the suspension of an effective Shelf Registration Statement, (i) the Company shall, within the ninety (90)-day period specified above, prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, or file any other required document so that the selling Holders may resume use thereof in accordance with applicable Law and (ii) the selling Holders agree to suspend the

use of the applicable Prospectus in connection with any sale or purchase, or offer to sell or purchase, Registrable Securities, upon receipt of any such certificate imposing a Demand Suspension until the earlier of the termination of the ninety (90)-day period specified above and the date on which the Company complies with clause (i) of this sentence.

(c)The Company agrees (i) not to effect or initiate a registration statement for any public sale or distribution of any securities similar to those being registered, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, during the fourteen (14) calendar days prior to, and during the ninety (90) calendar-day period beginning on, the effective date of any Registration Statement in which the Holders of Registrable Securities are participating (except as part of such registration), and (ii) that any agreement entered into on or after the date of this Agreement pursuant to which the Company issues or agrees to issue any privately placed securities shall contain a provision under which Holders of such securities agree not to effect any public sale or distribution of any such securities during the periods described in clause (i) above, in each case including a sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act (except as part of any such registration, if permitted).

(d)Each Holder of Registrable Securities agrees that, upon receipt of notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 5(c)(ii-iv), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities following the effective date of a Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities until such Holder’s receipt of copies of the Prospectus supplement and/or post-effective amendment contemplated by Section 5(k), or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed and, in either case, has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporate or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus or Registration Statement.

7.Indemnification.

(a)The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder and its partners (limited and general), members, shareholders, directors, officers, employees and agents and each Person, if any, who controls any Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and the partners (limited and general), members, shareholders, directors, officers, employees and agents of each such controlling Person and each underwriter, if any, and each Person, if any, who controls such underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, “Holder Indemnitees”), from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, costs of preparation and reasonable attorneys’ fees and any legal or other fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any investigation, action, suit or proceeding) and expenses, judgments, fines, penalties, charges and amounts paid in settlement (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement (or in any preliminary or final Prospectus contained therein, any document incorporated by reference therein or free writing Prospectus related thereto) or any other offering circular, amendment of or supplement to any of the foregoing or other document incident to any such registration, qualification, or compliance, or arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation by the Company of the Securities Act or of the Exchange Act in connection with any such registration, qualification, or compliance, except insofar as such Losses arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission which has been made therein or omitted therefrom in reliance upon and in conformity with the information relating to such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use in connection therewith. The foregoing indemnity agreement shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have.

(b)Each Holder, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and its directors and officers, and any Person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any and all Losses, as incurred, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement (or in any preliminary or final Prospectus contained therein, any document incorporated by reference therein or free writing Prospectus related thereto) or any other offering circular, amendment of or supplement to any of the foregoing or other document incident to any such registration, qualification, or compliance, or arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation by the Company of the Securities Act or of the Exchange Act in connection with any such registration, qualification, or compliance, but only (i) in connection with a registration in

which such Holder is participating by registering Registrable Securities and (ii) with respect to any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission which has been made therein or omitted therefrom in reliance upon and in conformity with the information relating to such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use in connection therewith. In no event shall the liability of any selling Holder hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

(c)If any Person shall be entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the party or parties from which such indemnity is sought (collectively the “Indemnifying Parties” and each an “Indemnifying Party”) of any claim or of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding with respect to which such Indemnified Party seeks indemnification or contribution pursuant hereto and such Indemnifying Parties shall have the right, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party and upon agreeing in writing, subject to the limitations and other provisions set forth in this Agreement, that it shall indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to such action, suit or proceeding, to assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and payment of all fees and expenses; provided, however, that failure or delay to so notify an Indemnifying Party shall not relieve such Indemnifying Party from any liability unless and to the extent it is materially and adversely prejudiced as a result of such failure or delay (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review)). The Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action, suit or proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Parties have agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses, (ii) the Indemnifying Parties have failed to assume promptly the defense and employ counsel, or (iii) the named parties to any such action, suit or proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Parties and the Indemnified Party shall have been advised in writing by its counsel that representation of such Indemnified Party and any Indemnifying Party by the same counsel would be inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct (whether or not such representation by the same counsel has been proposed) due to actual or potential differing interests between them (in which case the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action, suit or proceeding on behalf of the Indemnified Party). It is understood, however, that the Indemnifying Parties shall, in connection with any one such action, suit or proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related actions, suits or proceedings in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of only one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) at any time for the Indemnified Parties not having actual or potential differing interests with the Indemnified Parties or among themselves, which firm shall be designated in writing by the Indemnified Parties, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. The Indemnifying Parties shall not be liable for any settlement of any such action, suit or proceeding effected without their written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), but if settled with such written consent, or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, suit or proceeding, the Indemnifying Parties agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Party, to the extent provided herein, from and against any Losses by reason of such settlement or judgment; provided that in the event the Indemnifying Party has not (i) assumed the defense in such action, suit or proceeding, and (ii) agreed in writing that it shall indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to such action, suit or proceeding, nothing set forth herein shall prohibit the Indemnified Party from effecting a settlement of such action, suit or proceeding and initiating a claim for indemnification hereunder against the Indemnifying Party following such settlement.

(d)If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is unavailable (except if inapplicable according to its terms) to an Indemnified Party under Section 7(a) or Section 7(b) hereof in respect of any Losses referred to therein, then an Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Party, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Party, on the other hand, 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 such party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

(e)The Company and the Holders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by a pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 7(d) above. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of the Losses referred to in Section 7(d) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating any claim or defending any such action, suit or proceeding. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, no Holder shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds received by it in connection with the sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the action, suit or proceeding exceeds the amount of any damages which such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person found guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(f)The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 7 and the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any of the Holders or any Person controlling the Holders, the Company, its directors or officers or any Person controlling the Company. A successor to any Holder Indemnitee, or to the Company, its directors or officers or any Person controlling the Company shall be entitled to the benefits of the indemnity, contribution and reimbursement agreements contained in this Section 7.

(g)No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such action, suit or proceeding, (ii) ascribes no fault on the part of such Indemnified Party and (iii) provides for solely monetary relief.

(h)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, all parties to this Agreement hereby agree to abide by all applicable state and federal laws regarding indemnification payments to banking institutions, including, but not limited to, 12 C.F.R. Part 359.

8.Rule 144 Requirements. If the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Company will timely file with the Commission such reports and information required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the Commission thereunder and as the Commission may require. The Company shall furnish to any Holder of Registrable Securities forthwith upon request a written statement as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 (or any successor exemptive rule), the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time that it is subject to such reporting requirements); a copy of its most recent annual or quarterly report; and such other reports and documents as such Person may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing it to sell any such securities without registration.

9.Obligations of Holders and Others in a Registration. Each Holder agrees to timely furnish such information regarding such Person and the securities sought to be registered and to take such other action as the Company may reasonably request in connection with the registration, qualification or compliance. The Company may exclude from any Registration Statement any Holder that timely fails to comply with the provisions of the preceding sentence. If the registration involves an underwriter, each Holder agrees to enter into an underwriting agreement with such underwriters containing usual and customary terms and provisions. The Holders agree not to affect the sale of securities under any Registration Statement until they have received a Prospectus (including by accessing a Prospectus filed with the Commission), as needed, and notice of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement of which the Prospectus forms a part.

10.Rule 144A. The Company agrees that, upon the request of any Holder of Registrable Securities or any prospective purchaser of Registrable Securities designated by a Holder, the Company shall promptly provide (but

in any case within fifteen (15) calendar days of a request) to such Holder or potential purchaser, the following information:

(a)a brief statement of the nature of the business of the Company and any subsidiaries and the products and services they offer;

(b)the most recent consolidated balance sheets and profit and losses and retained earnings statements, and similar financial statements of the Company for the two (2) most recent fiscal years (such financial information shall be audited, to the extent reasonably available); and

(c)such other information about the Company, any subsidiaries, and their business, financial condition and results of operations as the requesting Holder or purchaser of such Registrable Securities shall request in order to comply with Rule 144A, as amended, and in connection therewith the anti‑fraud provisions of the federal and state securities laws.

The Company hereby represents and warrants to any such requesting Holder and any prospective purchaser of Registrable Securities from such Holder that the information provided by the Company pursuant to this Section 10 will, as of their dates, not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

11.Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. The Company will not, without the prior written consent of the Holder or Holders of at least a two-thirds of the then outstanding Registrable Securities, enter into any agreements with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company which would grant such holder or prospective holder registration rights with respect to the securities of the Company which would have priority over the Registrable Securities with respect to the inclusion of such securities in any registration. If the Company enters into an agreement that contains terms more favorable, in form or substance, to any shareholders than the terms provided to the Holders under this Agreement, then the Company will modify or revise the terms of this Agreement in order to reflect any such more favorable terms for the benefit of the Holders Shareholders.

12.Consent to be Bound. Each subsequent Holder of Registrable Securities must consent in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement in order to acquire the rights granted pursuant to this Agreement.

13.Assignability of Registration Rights. Subject to Section 12 hereof, the registration rights set forth in this Agreement are assignable to each assignee as to each share of Registrable Securities conveyed in accordance herewith who agrees in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

14.Amendment, Termination and Waiver. Except as otherwise provided herein, no amendment, modification, termination or cancellation of this Agreement shall be effective unless made in a writing signed by the Company and the Holders of at least two-thirds of the then outstanding Registrable Securities.

15.Specific Performance. The Company and the Holders agree that the rights created by this Agreement are unique, and that the loss of any such right is not susceptible to monetary quantification. Consequently, the parties agree that an action for specific performance (including for temporary and/or permanent injunctive relief) of the obligations created by this Agreement is a proper remedy for the breach of the provisions of this Agreement, without the necessity of proving actual damages. If the parties hereto are forced to institute legal proceedings to enforce their rights in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees, in connection with any such action.

16.Miscellaneous.

(a)Unless otherwise specified herein, all notices, requests, instructions and other communications required or permitted to be given under this Agreement after the date of this Agreement by any party hereto to any other party may be delivered personally or by nationally recognized overnight courier service or sent by mail or by facsimile transmission, at the respective addresses or transmission numbers set forth below and is deemed delivered (a) in the case of personal delivery or facsimile transmission or electronic mail, when received; (b) in the case of mail, upon the earlier of actual receipt or five (5) Business Days after deposit in the United States Postal Service, first class certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested; and (c) in the case of an overnight

(i)Nothing in this Agreement shall limit or prevent the Company from utilizing or electing to take advantage of any of the rights and privileges available to an “emerging growth company,” as such term is defined in the JOBS Act, including, but not limited to, the confidential filing of a Registration Statement on Form S-1. In addition, for purposes of this Agreement, if the Company receives a Demand Notice, the confidential filing of a Registration Statement on Form S-1 with the SEC as permitted under the JOBS Act shall satisfy the requirements of Section 2(b) of this Agreement if such Registration Statement is filed with the SEC on a confidential basis in accordance with the requirements of that section.

The Series D Preferred Stock will rank subordinate and junior to all other shares of preferred stock other than those which, by their respective terms, rank pari passu with or junior to the Series D Preferred Stock and shall rank pari passu with the Common Stock with respect to the payment of dividends or distributions, whether payable in cash, securities, options or other property, and with respect to the issuance of any rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property (collectively, the “Dividends”). The holders of record of Series D Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive as, when, and if declared by the Board of Directors, Dividends in the same per share

amount as the Dividends paid on a share of Common Stock, and no Dividends will be payable on the Common Stock or any other

class or series of capital stock ranking with respect to Dividends pari passu with the Common Stock unless an identical Dividend is payable at the same time on the Series D Preferred Stock; provided, however, that if a stock Dividend is declared on Common Stock, the holders of Series D Preferred Stock will be entitled to a stock Dividend payable solely in shares of Series D Preferred Stock. Dividends that are payable on Series D Preferred Stock will be payable to the holders of record of Series D Preferred Stock as they appear on the stock register of the Corporation on the applicable record date, as determined by the Board of Directors, which record date will be the same as the record date for the equivalent Dividend of the Common Stock. In the event that the Board of Directors does not declare or pay any Dividends with respect to shares of Common Stock, then the holders of Series D Preferred Stock will have no right to receive any Dividends.

(b) Subject to Section 6 below, in the event that the Corporation at any time or from time to time will effect a division of the Common Stock into a greater number of shares (by stock split, reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a Dividend in Common Stock or in any right to acquire the Common Stock), or in the event the outstanding Common Stock will be combined or consolidated, by reclassification, reverse stock split or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares of the Common Stock, then the Series D Preferred Stock will, concurrently with the. effectiveness of such event, be proportionately split, reclassified, combined, consolidated, reverse-split or otherwise, as appropriate, such that the number of shares of Common Stock and Series D Preferred Stock outstanding immediately following such event shall bear the same relationship to each other as did the number of shares of Common Stock and Series D Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event.

4. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up.

(a) Rank. The Series D Preferred Stock will, with respect to rights upon liquidation, winding up and dissolution, rank subordinate and junior in right of payment to all other shares of preferred stock other than those which, by their respective terms, rank pari passu with or junior to the Series D Preferred Stock and shall rank senior to the Common Stock in respect of the Series D Liquidation Preference as set forth below.

(b) Liquidation Preference. Upon any voluntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, subject to the rights of any holders of securities to which the rights of the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock are subordinate or on parity, the holders of Series D Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, and no distribution shall be made to the holders of shares of Common Stock or any other shares of capital stock of the Corporation ranking junior upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up to the Series D Preferred Stock, unless, prior thereto, the holders of Series D Preferred Stock shall have received an amount (the “Series D Liquidation Preference”) equal to the greater of (i) one cent ($0.01) per share and (ii) the amount the holder of such share of Series D Preferred Stock would receive in respect of such share if such share had been converted into Common Stock at the time of such liquidation, dissolution or winding up (assuming the conversion of all shares of Series D Preferred Stock at such time, without regard to any limitations on conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock).

(c) Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Assets Not Liquidation. For purposes of this Section 4, the merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into any other corporation or other entity, including a merger or consolidation in which the holders of Series D Preferred Stock receive cash, securities or other property for their shares, or the sale, lease or exchange (for cash, securities or property) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, will not constitute a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.

5. Transfer; Conversion.

(a) Transfer. Neither the initial holder of any share of Series D Preferred Stock nor any of its Affiliates shall be permitted to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of such Series D Preferred Stock other than in a Permissible Transfer.

(b) Conversion.

(i) A holder of Series D Preferred Stock shall be permitted to convert, or upon the written request of the Corporation shall convert, shares of Series D Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock (a “Voluntary Conversion”); provided that upon such conversion the holder, together with all Affiliates of the holder, will not own or control in the aggregate more than 9.99% of the Common Stock (or of any class of Voting Securities

issued by the Corporation), excluding for the purpose of this calculation any reduction in ownership resulting from transfers by such holder and its Affiliates of Voting Securities of the Corporation (which, for the avoidance of doubt, does not include Series D Preferred Stock). In any such conversion, each share of Series D Preferred Stock will convert into one share of Common Stock. To effect the Voluntary Conversion, the holder shall surrender (the date of such surrender, the “Voluntary Conversion Date”) the certificate or certificates evidencing such shares of Series D Preferred Stock, duly endorsed, at the registered office of the Corporation, and provide written instructions to the Corporation as to the number of whole shares for which such conversion shall be effected, together with any appropriate documentation that may be reasonably required by the Corporation. Upon the surrender of such certificate(s), the Corporation will issue and deliver to such holder a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Series D Preferred Stock has been converted and, in the event that such conversion is with respect to some, but not all, of the holder’s shares of Series D Preferred Stock, a certificate or certificate(s) representing the number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock that were not converted to Common Stock.

(ii) On the date (the “Mandatory Conversion Date”) a holder of Series D Preferred Stock transfers any shares of Series D Preferred Stock to a non-Affiliate of the holder in a Permissible Transfer, each such transferred share of Series D Preferred Stock will automatically convert, immediately following such transfer and without any further action on the part of any holder, into one share of Common Stock (a “Mandatory Conversion”).

(iii) As promptly as practicable following any Mandatory Conversion, the holder of the converted shares shall provide the Corporation a written notice of such conversion (a “Notice of Conversion”). In addition to any information required by applicable law or regulation, the Notice of Conversion shall state (x) the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued in respect of such conversion, (y) the name in which shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such conversion should be registered, and (z) the manner in which certificates of Series D Preferred Stock held. by such holder are to be surrendered for issuance of certificates representing shares of Common Stock. No later than three (3) business days following delivery of the Notice of Conversion, with respect to any shares of Series D Preferred Stock as to which a Mandatory Conversion shall have occurred, the Corporation shall issue and deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock to the holder thereof or such holder’s designee upon presentation and surrender of the certificate evidencing such Series D Preferred Stock to the Corporation and, if required, furnishing appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the payment of all transfer and similar taxes, and, in the event that such conversion is with respect to some, but not all, of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock represented by the certificate surrendered, the Corporation shall issue and deliver a certificate or certificate(s) representing the number of shares · of Series D Preferred Stock that were not converted to Common Stock.

(iv) Shares of Series D Preferred Stock converted in accordance with this Section 5 will resume the status of authorized and unissued preferred stock, undesignated as to series and available for future issuance.

(v) Prior to the close of business on the Voluntary Conversion Date or Mandatory Conversion Date with respect to any share of Series D Preferred Stock, shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof, or other securities issuable upon conversion of such shares of Series D Preferred Stock, shall not be deemed outstanding for any purpose, and the holder thereof shall have no rights with respect to the Common Stock (including voting rights) by virtue of holding such share of Series D Preferred Stock.

(vi) All shares of Common Stock delivered upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of all liens, claims, security interests, charges and other encumbrances.

(c) No Impairment. The Corporation will not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation or the By-Laws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Corporation, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions hereof, including Section 3(b) and this Section 5 and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the adjustment and conversion rights of the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock against impairment. Nothing in this Section S(c) shall be deemed to grant approval or voting rights to the holders of Series D Preferred Stock that are in addition to those set forth in Section 9 hereof.

(d) Reservation of Shares Issuable upon Conversion. The Corporation will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock such number of shares of Common Stock as will from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding Series D Preferred Stock; provided that if at any time the number of authorized but unissued Common Stock will not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding Series D Preferred Stock, the Corporation will take such action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued Common Stock to such number of shares as will be sufficient for such purpose.

6. Reorganization Events.

(a) So long as any shares of Series D Preferred Stock are outstanding, ifthere occurs a Reorganization Event, then a holder of shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall, effective as of the consummation of such Reorganization Event, automatically receive for such Series D Preferred Stock the type and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable in such Reorganization Event by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock held by such holder would then be convertible (without regard to any limitations on conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock).

(b) In the event that holders of shares of Common Stock have the opportunity to elect the form of consideration to be received in such transaction, the holders of Series D Preferred Stock shall be entitled to participate in such elections as if they had converted all of their Series D Preferred Stock into Common Stock immediately prior to the election deadline.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, nothing set forth herein shall prohibit the Corporation from entering into or consummating a transaction constituting a Reorganization Event provided that the Series D Preferred Stock is treated as set forth in this Section 6.

7. Maturity; Redemption. The Series D Preferred Stock shall be perpetual unless converted in accordance with this Certificate of Designation. The Series D Preferred Stock will not be redeemable at the option of the Corporation or any holder of Series D Preferred Stock at any time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall prohibit the Corporation from repurchasing or otherwise acquiring shares of Series D Preferred Stock in voluntary transactions with the holders thereof. Any shares of Series D Preferred Stock repurchased or otherwise acquired may be cancelled by the Corporation and thereafter be reissued as shares of any series of preferred stock of the Corporation.

8. Voting Rights. The holders of Series D Preferred Stock will not have any voting rights, except as provided in Section 9 below or as otherwise from time to time required by law.

9. Protective Provisions.

(a) So long as any shares of Series D Preferred Stock are outstanding, the vote or consent of the holders of a majority of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, voting as a single class, given in person or by proxy, either in writing without a meeting or by vote at any meeting called for the purpose, will be necessary for effecting or validating any of the following actions, whether or not such approval is required by Louisiana law:

(i) any amendment, alteration or repeal (including by means of a merger, consolidation or otherwise) of any provision of the Articles of Incorporation (including this Certificate of Designation) or the By-Laws that would adversely affect the rights or preferences of the Series D Preferred Stock (which shall not include, for the avoidance of doubt, any Reorganization Event in connection with which the Series D Preferred Stock is treated as provided in Section 6 above or any increase or decrease in the authorized amount of capital stock of the Corporation); or

(ii) the consummation of a Reorganization Event in connection with which the Series D Preferred Stock is not converted or otherwise treated as provided in Section 6.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any increase in the amount of the authorized preferred stock or any securities convertible into preferred stock or the creation and issuance, or an increase in the authorized or issued amount, of any series of preferred stock or any securities convertible into preferred stock, in any case ranking equally with, junior to and/or senior to the Series D Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of dividends (whether such dividends are cumulative or non-cumulative) and/or the distribution of assets upon the Corporation’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up will not, in and of itself, be deemed to adversely affect rights, preferences or privileges of the Series D Preferred Stock and, notwithstanding any provision of Louisiana law, holders of Series D Preferred Stock will have no right to vote solely by reason of such an increase, creation or issuance.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, holders of Series D Preferred Stock shall not have any voting rights if, at or prior to the effective time of the act with respect to which such vote would otherwise be required, all outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall have been converted into shares of Common Stock.

(c) In the event that the Corporation makes (i) an offer to repurchase shares of Common Stock from all of the holders thereof, or (ii) a tender offer for any shares of Common Stock, the Corporation shall also offer to repurchase or make a tender offer for, as applicable, shares of Series D Preferred Stock pro rata based upon the number of shares of Common Stock such holders would be entitled to receive if such shares were converted into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such repurchase and otherwise on terms which would provide the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock consideration and other terms equivalent to the terms offered to the holders of Common Stock assuming the Series D Preferred Stock were so converted.

10. Notices. Any notice required by the provisions hereof to be given to the holders of Series D Preferred Stock will be deemed given upon the earlier of (i) actual receipt and (ii) three (3) business days after being sent by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, and addressed to each holder of record at such holder’s address as it appears on the books of the Corporation.

11. Record Holders. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Corporation will be entitled to recognize the record holder of any share of Series D Preferred Stock as the true and lawful owner thereof for all purposes and will not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other Person, whether or not it will have express or other notice thereof.

12. No Preemptive Rights. Except as may be set forth in any agreement between the Corporation and any holder of Series D Preferred Stock, the holders of Series D Preferred Stock are not entitled to any preemptive or preferential right to purchase or subscribe for any capital stock, obligations, warrants or other securities or rights of the Corporation.

13. Replacement Certificates. In the event that any Certificate will have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Corporation, the posting by such Person of a bond in such amount as the Corporation may determine is necessary as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Corporation or the Corporation’s transfer agent, as applicable, will deliver in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate a replacement Certificate.

14. Other Rights. The shares of Series D Preferred Stock have no rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers or relative, participating, optional or other special rights, or qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, other than as set forth herein or as provided by applicable law.
