EXHIBIT A ACCREDITED INVESTOR QUESTIONNAIRE

INVESTMENT AGREEMENT

THIS INVESTMENT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), by and between TGR Financial, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Company”), on the one hand, and the investors identified on the signature pages hereto (each an “Investor” and collectively, the “Investors”), on the other hand, shall be effective as of the date it is executed by the parties hereto (the “Effective Date”).

WHEREAS:

A. The Transaction. Pursuant to the Investment Agreement (the “Bank Investment Agreement”), dated April 15, 2011, by and between First National Bank of the Gulf Coast, a national banking association (the “Bank”), and the parties thereto, and the Subscription Agreements (collectively, the “Bank Subscription Agreements”), dated April 15, 2011, by and between the Bank and the parties thereto, the Investors acquired a number of shares of common stock of the Bank in the Initial Drawdown (as such term is defined in the Bank Investment Agreement and the Bank Subscription Agreements). Under the Bank Investment Agreement and the Bank Subscription Agreements, the Investors and the Bank also agreed that the Bank would form a holding company and effect the reorganization of the Bank into a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Holding Company Reorganization”), and that the Company would, when combined with the Initial Drawdown, complete an aggregate private placement of up to $135,415,495 (the “Private Placement”) of capital stock of the Bank and the Company, in each case subject to the terms set forth in the Bank Investment Agreement, the Bank Subscription Agreements, this Agreement and the Stockholders’ Agreement (defined below). In connection with the formation of the Company as the proposed holding company of the Bank and the Holding Company Reorganization, all of the shares of common stock of the Bank will be exchanged for shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) and, if applicable, shares of the Company’s Series A Nonvoting Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Preferred Stock”). The parties hereto intend that the Holding Company Reorganization and the Private Placement together constitute a tax-free contribution of property to the Company in exchange for Common Stock and Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 351 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

B. The Investment. Pursuant to the Bank Investment Agreement, the Bank Subscription Agreements, this Agreement and the Stockholders’ Agreement, each of the Investors, severally and not jointly, has committed to make capital contributions to the Company during the Capital Raising Period (as defined in the Stockholders’ Agreement). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Stockholders’ Agreement, during the Capital Raising Period, the Company may, from time to time, require each Investor, severally and not jointly, to purchase shares (each, a “Share”) of Common Stock (and, if applicable, Preferred Stock) (the “Purchased Shares”) from the Company as set forth on such Investor’s signature page hereto up to each Investor’s Maximum Dollar Investment and Maximum Committed Percentage (and subject to such Investor’s Maximum Voting Percentage) pursuant to the procedures described herein (each time, a “Subsequent Drawdown”), including the delivery of a Drawdown Notice or Escrow Funding Notice (each as hereinafter defined), as applicable, and satisfaction or waiver of the conditions in Section 5 and Section 6 of this Agreement. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Company and the Investors,

together with certain other stockholders of the Company, have executed and delivered the agreements set forth in Section 4(d) of this Agreement, providing for certain rights, obligations and arrangements among the parties thereto, including with respect to the purchase of the Purchased Shares and the obligations with respect to Subsequent Drawdowns. Proceeds from the Subsequent Drawdowns will be used to support the Company’s growth strategies which include, among other things, organic growth, whole bank acquisitions and, through the Bank, one or more failed bank acquisitions located in Florida (each, a “Target Bank”) in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) assisted transactions (a “FDIC Bid”). The Company and the Investors are executing and delivering this Agreement in reliance upon the exemptions from securities registration afforded by the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”); specifically Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D (“Regulation D”) as promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the 1933 Act. The purchase and sale of the Purchased Shares by and to the Investors pursuant to this Agreement is intended to be in connection with the closing of the Initial Drawdown (as defined in the Bank Investment Agreement) which occurred on April 29, 2011, and the Private Placement, inclusive of the Initial Drawdown and the Purchased Shares, shall be up to $135,415,495. The shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock sold to the Investors pursuant to this Agreement are sometimes referred to herein as the “Common Shares” and “Preferred Shares”, respectively.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Investors hereby agree as follows:

1. PURCHASE AND SALE OF COMMON SHARES.

(a) Capital Commitments. On the terms set forth in the Bank Investment Agreement, the Bank Subscription Agreements, this Agreement and the Stockholders’ Agreement, each Investor, severally and not jointly, commits to make capital contributions to the Company up to the number of shares of Common Stock (and, if applicable, Preferred Stock) represented by such Investor’s maximum dollar investment in the Private Placement (the “Maximum Dollar Investment”), not to exceed such Investor’s committed ownership percentage in the Company (the “Maximum Committed Percentage”), and such Investor’s maximum voting percentage in the Company (the “Maximum Voting Percentage”) each as set forth on such Investor’s signature page hereto.

(b) Subsequent Drawdowns. During the Capital Raising Period (as such term is defined the Stockholders’ Agreement), the Company may, from time to time, require each of the Investors to purchase from the Company, subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) of the conditions set forth in Section 5 and Section 6 of this Agreement, Common Stock (or subject to Section 3.01 of the Stockholders’ Agreement, Preferred Stock) in one or more Subsequent Drawdowns, subject to each Investor’s Maximum Dollar Investment and Maximum Committed Percentage and Maximum Voting Percentage. The Company shall conduct any Subsequent Drawdown during the Capital Raising Period as follows:

(i) The Company shall deliver to each Investor a written notice (each such notice, a “Drawdown Notice”) setting forth with respect to such Subsequent Drawdown (A) the aggregate amount to be funded (which aggregate amount shall be no less than $10,000,000 for each Subsequent Drawdown), (B) the amount of Purchased Shares, determined pursuant to this Agreement and the Stockholders’ Agreement, to be purchased by the Investor, (C) the Purchase Price (as such term is defined in the Stockholders’ Agreement) per share of Common Stock or Preferred Stock and the amount to be funded by each Investor, and (D) the date on which the closing (the “Drawdown Closing”) of the Subsequent Drawdown is set to take place (which date shall not be fewer than ten (10) business days after the date of such Drawdown Notice) (the “Drawdown Closing Date”). Each Drawdown Closing shall be subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) of the conditions set forth in Section 5 and Section 6 of this Agreement.

(ii) If the Subsequent Drawdown is to support an FDIC Bid for a Target Bank acquisition from the FDIC, the Drawdown Notice will include such intention (an “Escrow Funding Notice”), and each Investor shall, subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) of the conditions set forth in Section 5 and Section 6 of this Agreement as if such conditions were conditions precedent to such Investor’s obligations to fund into escrow mutatis mutandis, fund its subscription funds into an escrow account at least five (5) business days prior to the Bank submitting its bid to the FDIC (or such other period required by the bank regulators), provided that the applicable Drawdown Notice shall be delivered to each Investor no fewer than ten (10) business days prior to such funding date (the “Escrow Funding Date”). If (A) the FDIC Bid is accepted by the FDIC, (B) the Bank shall have executed a purchase and assumption agreement (a “P&A Agreement”) with the FDIC with respect to the Target Bank and (C) all conditions precedent to the closing of the acquisition under the P&A Agreement have been met, satisfied or waived, then the funds in escrow will be released to the Company immediately prior to the Target Bank acquisition and shares of Common Stock (and, if applicable, Preferred Stock) will be issued to the Investors. If (1) the FDIC notifies the Bank that it shall not be permitted to enter a FDIC Bid, (2) the Bank’s FDIC Bid is rejected by the FDIC, (3) the Bank has not submitted a FDIC Bid by the deadline for submitting bids established by the FDIC, (4) the FDIC notifies the Bank that it is not the winning bidder for the Target Bank, (5) no FDIC Bid by the Bank has been accepted by the FDIC within two (2) weeks after the funding of the Subsequent Drawdown or (6) if the Bank has been selected as the winning bidder for the Target Bank, the closing of the acquisition under the P&A Agreement has not occurred within four (4) weeks after such selection, then, in each case, the funds (plus interest incurred thereon and less escrow expenses not to exceed $25,000) will be promptly returned (and in any event no later than three (3) business days after any of the events described earlier in this sentence to the Investors), unless otherwise agreed.

(iii) On each Drawdown Closing Date, each Investor shall have either delivered the applicable funds to the Company by means of (a) a check payable to “TGR Financial, Inc.,” 0000 Xxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000, or (b) by wire transfer to the following operating account: TGR Financial, Inc. – Escrow for Private Placement, ABA No. 000000000, Credit: TGR Financial, Inc., Account No. 0000000, Attention: Xxxxx Xxxxxxx, and the Company shall deliver to each Investor the Purchased Shares (allocated in the amounts as such Investor shall request), that such Investor is purchasing, duly executed on behalf of the Company and registered in the name of such Investor or its designee.

2. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF EACH INVESTOR.

Each Investor represents and warrants as of the Effective Date and as of each Drawdown Closing Date or Escrow Funding Date, as applicable (except (i) for the representations and warranties in Section 2(e), Section 2(f) and Section 2(j), which are made only as of the Effective Date, and (ii) for the representations and warranties that are as of a specific date, which shall be made as of such date), to the Company that:

(a) No Public Sale or Distribution; No Other Agreements with Respect to Shares.

The Investor understands that the Purchased Shares have not been registered pursuant to the 1933 Act or any applicable state securities law and are therefore considered “restricted securities” under the 1933 Act, and that the Investor is acquiring the Purchased Shares in the ordinary course of its business, as principal for its own account and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof. The Investor does not presently have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any Person (as defined below) to: (i) distribute any of the Purchased Shares; (ii) hold or to dispose of the Purchased Shares; (iii) vote the Purchased Shares; or (iv) acquire any Common Shares or Preferred Shares from any other Person other than from the Company pursuant to this Agreement. In the absence of an effective registration statement covering the resale of the Purchased Shares or an available exemption under the 1933 Act, the Purchased Shares must be held indefinitely. In connection herewith, the Investor represents that it is aware of and understands the resale limitations imposed under the 1933 Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to applicable banking regulations or agreements, by making the representations herein, the Investor does not agree to hold any of the Purchased Shares for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to sell or dispose of the Purchased Shares at any time in accordance with or pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption under the 1933 Act and in accordance with applicable state securities laws. For purposes of this Agreement, “Person” means an individual, a limited liability company, a partnership, a joint venture, a corporation, a trust, an unincorporated organization and a government or any department or agency thereof.

(b) Investor Status.

The Investor is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D and has provided the information in the Accredited Investor Questionnaire attached as Exhibit A hereto. The Investor is not a registered broker-dealer under Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”) or an unregistered broker-dealer engaged in the business of being a broker-dealer. To the extent that the Investor is utilizing or has utilized a representative to assist it in the evaluation of an investment in the Purchased Shares, the Investor has provided the requested information about such representative as set forth on the Investor’s signature page hereto.

The Investor is not purchasing the Purchased Shares as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Purchased Shares, published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or any other general advertisement.

(d) Reliance on Exemptions.

The Investor understands that the Purchased Shares are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and regulations and that the Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Investor’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Investor set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Investor to acquire the Purchased Shares.

(e) Review of Information and Consultation with Advisors.

The Investor has, either alone or through its representatives:

(i) consulted with its own legal, regulatory, tax, business, investment, financial and accounting advisers in connection herewith to the extent it has deemed necessary;

(ii) had a reasonable opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, the officers and representatives of the Company concerning the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, the business plan for the Company, all employment agreements and benefit plans and other contractual arrangements among the Company and its respective management teams, the terms and conditions of the Private Placement and any additional relevant information that the Company possesses, and any such questions have been answered to its satisfaction;

(iii) had the opportunity to review and evaluate the following in connection with its investment decision with respect to the Purchased Shares: (A) all publicly available records and filings concerning the Company, as well as all other documents, records, filings, reports, agreements and other materials provided by the Company regarding its business, operations and financial condition sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment; (B) the investor presentation materials (as supplemented from time to time), (collectively, the “Offering Materials”) that summarizes the Private Placement; and (C) the Private Placement Documents (as defined in the Bank Investment Agreement); and

(iv) made its own investment decisions based upon its own judgment, due diligence and advice from such advisers as it has deemed necessary and not upon any view expressed by the Company or the Placement Agents (as such term is defined in the Bank Investment Agreement and the Bank Subscription Agreements) or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, Affiliates (as defined below), stockholders, agents, representatives or advisors (including, without limitation, attorneys, accountants, consultants, financing sources and financial advisors) (collectively, including the Company and the Placement Agents, the “Company Persons”). Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations conducted by such Investor or its advisors or representatives, if any, shall modify, amend or affect the Investor’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained herein. For purposes of this Agreement, “Affiliate” means, with respect to

any person, any person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with, such other person. For purposes of this definition, “control” (including, with correlative meanings, the terms “controlled by” and “under common control with”) when used with respect to any person, means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to cause the direction of management or policies of such person, whether through the ownership of voting securities by contract or otherwise.

(f) No Reliance.

The Investor acknowledges that the information in the Offering Materials is as of the date thereof, and may not contain all of the terms and conditions of the Private Placement, and understands and acknowledges that it is the Investor’s responsibility to conduct its own independent investigation and evaluation of the Company, including without limitation, (i) the business prospects and future operations of the Company, and (ii) the existing management team that will continue to operate and manage the Company following each Drawdown Closing. The Investor acknowledges that the Company has not produced an offering memorandum with respect to the Private Placement. The Investor is not relying upon, and has not relied upon, any advice, statement, representation or warranty made by any Company Person, including, without limitation, the Placement Agents, except for the statements, representations and warranties of the Company made or contained in this Agreement and the other Private Placement Documents. Furthermore, such Investor acknowledges and agrees that: (A) the Placement Agents have not performed any due diligence review on behalf of the Investor; (B) the Investor has made, and has relied upon, its own independent examination in purchasing the Purchased Shares, including, without limitation, of the Company and the existing management team of the Company that will continue to operate and manage the Company after each Drawdown Closing; (C) nothing in this Agreement or any other materials presented by or on behalf of the Company to the Investor in connection with the purchase of the Purchased Shares constitutes legal, tax or investment advice and such Investor has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase of the Purchased Shares; and (D) the Investor has received or had access to all of the information the Investor deemed necessary in order to make its investment decision in the Purchased Shares. Each of the Placement Agents is a third-party beneficiary to this Section 2(f) solely with respect to responding to any claims brought by an Investor (or its shareholders, limited partners or members) against such Placement Agent.

(g) No Public Market; No Governmental Review; Purchased Shares Not Insured.

The Investor understands that there is no established market for the Purchased Shares and that no public market for the Purchased Shares may develop. The Investor understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Purchased Shares or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Purchased Shares nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Purchased Shares. The Investor understands that the Purchased Shares are not savings accounts, deposits or other obligations of a depository institution and are not insured by the FDIC, including the FDIC’s Deposit Insurance Fund, or any other governmental agency.

(h) Brokers and Finders.

Other than the Placement Agents, no Person will have, as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any valid right, interest or claim against or upon the Company, or the Investor, for any commission, fee or other compensation pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding entered into by or on behalf of the Investor.

(i) No Conflicts.

The execution, delivery and performance by the Investor of the Private Placement Documents to which it is a party and the consummation by the Investor of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not (i) result in a violation of the organizational documents of the Investor, or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Investor is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities and banking laws and regulations, assuming the correctness of the representations and warranties made by the Company herein) applicable to the Investor, except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for such conflicts, defaults, rights or violations which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the ability of the Investor to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder.

(j) Investment Risk.

The Investor understands that (i) its investment in the Purchased Shares involves a high degree of risk, (ii) no representation is being made as to the business or prospects of the Company after the Closing or the future value of the Purchased Shares, and (iii) no representation is being made as to any projections or estimates delivered to or made available to the Investor (or any of its Affiliates or representatives) of the Company’s future assets, liabilities, stockholders’ equity, regulatory capital ratios, net interest income, net income or any component of any of the foregoing or any ratios derived therefrom, except as may be set forth in the statements, representations and warranties of the Company made or contained in this Agreement

and the other Private Placement Documents. The Investor, either alone or together with its representatives, if any, has the knowledge, sophistication and experience in financial and business matters to fully understand and be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Purchased Shares and has the ability to bear the economic risks of an investment in the Purchased Shares and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

(k) Residency. The Investor has, if an entity, its principal place of business or, if an individual, its primary residence, in the jurisdiction indicated below the Investor’s name on the signature pages hereto.

(l) Organization; Authorization.

The Investor, if an entity, is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing (to the extent such concept is applicable) under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized and has the requisite organizational power and authority to carry on its business as now being conducted. The Investor, if an entity, has the requisite organizational power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under the Private Placement Documents to which it is a party and to consummate the transactions contemplated by such Private Placement Documents. The execution and delivery of the Private Placement Documents by the Investor and performance by the Investor of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or, if the Investor is not a corporation, such partnership, limited liability company or other applicable like action, on the part of the Investor, and no further consent or authorization in connection therewith is required by the Investor, its board of directors or its shareholders, or if the Investor is not a corporation, such partnership, limited liability company or other applicable like action, on the part of the Investor. The Private Placement Documents to which the Investor is a party have been (or upon delivery will have been) duly executed by the Investor, and when delivered by the Investor in accordance with terms of this Agreement and thereof, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Investor, enforceable against it in accordance with its respective terms, subject to (i) the application of bankruptcy, receivership, conservatorship, reorganization, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and (ii) equitable principles being applied at the discretion of a court before which any proceeding may be brought (the “Bankruptcy and Equity Exception”).

(m) Ownership of Purchased Shares and Non-Exercise of Controlling Influence.

Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement, after giving effect to the issuance and sale of the Purchased Shares to be sold hereunder, the Investor, either acting alone or together with any other Person that may be affiliated with the Investor, or deemed to be acting in concert with the Investor pursuant to 12 C.F.R. § 225.41 will not beneficially own, control or have the power to vote in excess of 24.9% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding (or 4.9% in the event that the Investor is a bank or bank holding company). Without limiting the foregoing, the Investor represents and warrants that the Investor: (i) has no present intention of acquiring control (“Control”) of the Company or the Bank, as “control” is defined in 12 C.F.R. § 225.2(e)(1); (ii) will not acquire Control in the future without the prior approval of the applicable Governmental Entity (defined below) with

respect to the Company; (iii) is not participating and has not participated with any Person in any agreement, joint activity or parallel action towards a common goal between or among such Persons of acquiring Control of the Company; (iv) knows of no other Person holding Common Stock, or presently proposing to acquire Common Stock, that is (A) a member of the Investor’s immediate family (if the Investor is an individual), (B) under common Control with the Investor, or (C) a controlling shareholder, partner, trustee, officer, or director of the Investor or has policy-making functions with respect to such Investor, unless, with regard to this Section 2(m), all such Persons together with such Investor would, after giving effect to the issuance and sale of the Purchased Shares to be sold hereunder, beneficially own no more than 24.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, subject to applicable determinations of non-control by applicable Governmental Entities (defined below); (v) has reached a decision, independent from any other unaffiliated Investor, to acquire the Common Stock; and (vi) except as contemplated by this Agreement, will not, without first determining whether the prior approval of the applicable Governmental Entities is required and, if such approval is required, obtaining such approval, directly or indirectly seek to appoint any director or executive officer to the Company or otherwise attempt to direct the management or policies of the Company (it being understood that the foregoing shall not limit such Investor’s right to vote its shares at any meeting of the stockholders (the “Stockholders”) of the Company or pursuant to a written request sought by the Company or to act in a manner that is consistent with passivity commitments made by the Investor to a Governmental Entity).

(n) Bank Investment Agreement and Bank Subscription Agreements. Other than with respect to the survival of representations and warranties relating to the Initial Drawdown (as such term is defined in the Bank Investment Agreement and the Bank Subscription Agreements) and with respect to Sections 5(a), 5(c) and 5(f) of the Bank Investment Agreement, the Investor acknowledges that upon completion of the Holding Company Reorganization, this Agreement and the Stockholders’ Agreement (as defined in Section 4(d)) shall supersede and replace the obligations of the Company and the Bank set forth in the Bank Investment Agreement and Bank Subscription Agreements, to the extent such obligations are duplicative of those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the Stockholders’ Agreement and each Subsequent Drawdown shall only be made pursuant to this Agreement and the Stockholders’ Agreement.

3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY.

The Company hereby represents and warrants as of the Effective Date and as of each Drawdown Closing Date or Escrow Funding Date, as applicable (except for the representations and warranties that are as of a specific date which shall be made as of that date), to each Investor that:

(a) Organization and Qualification; Capitalization.

(i) The Company has been duly organized and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Florida. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to carry on its business as now being conducted, and will have obtained any requisite regulatory approval required in order to conduct its business, in the same manner as now being conducted, following the formation of the Company and the closing of each Subsequent Drawdown, and, if necessary, has been duly qualified as a foreign

corporation for the transaction of business and is in good standing under the laws of each other jurisdiction in which it owns or leases properties, or conducts its business in a manner or to an extent that would require such qualification, other than such failures to be so qualified or in good standing as, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company has furnished or made available to the Investors, prior to the date hereof and each Drawdown Closing Date or Escrow Funding Date, as applicable, true, correct and complete copies of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the “Articles of Incorporation”), and the Company Bylaws, as amended (the “Bylaws”). For purposes of this Agreement, a “Material Adverse Effect” means any circumstance, event, change, development or effect that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to (A) have a material and adverse effect on the business, results of operations, prospects or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company and its Subsidiaries (as defined below), taken as a whole, or (B) materially impair or delay the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under the Private Placement Documents and to consummate the issuance and sale of the Purchased Shares in the Private Placement; provided, however, that a Material Adverse Effect shall not be deemed to include the effects of (1) changes after the date of this Agreement in general business, economic or market conditions (including changes generally in prevailing interest rates, credit availability and liquidity, currency exchange rates and price levels or trading volumes in the United States or foreign securities or credit markets), or any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, declared or undeclared acts of war or terrorism, in each case generally affecting the industries in which the Company operates, or (2) changes or proposed changes after the date of this Agreement in generally accepted accounting principles as applied in the United States (“GAAP”) or regulatory accounting requirements, or authoritative interpretations thereof, (in the case of each of these clauses (1) and (2), other than changes or occurrences to the extent that such changes or occurrences have or would reasonably be expected to have a disproportionate adverse effect on the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, relative to comparable U.S. banking or financial services organizations).

(ii) Immediately prior to the Effective Date, the authorized capital stock of the Company will consist of 1,000 shares of stock, $1.00 par value, and there will be 3 shares issued and outstanding. Immediately following consummation of the Holding Company Reorganization and prior to any Subsequent Drawdown, the authorized capital stock of the Company will consist of 500,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Of the preferred stock, 7,050,000 shares will be designated Preferred Stock, and there will be 14,060,143 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding (assuming that none of the Bank shareholders exercise dissenters’ rights) and 0 shares of Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. As of the Effective Date and each Drawdown Closing Date or Escrow Funding Date, as applicable, all outstanding shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable, have been issued in compliance in all material respects with all applicable federal and state securities laws and none of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock has been issued in violation of preemptive rights or any similar rights of any Person, with no personal liability attaching to the ownership thereof. Except as disclosed on Schedule 3(a)(ii), as of the Effective Date and each Drawdown Closing Date or Escrow Funding Date, as applicable, (A) there are no Stock Equivalents (as defined below) authorized, issued or outstanding, and (B) no equity security of the Company is or may be required to be issued by reason of any option, warrant, scrip, preemptive right, right to subscribe to, gross-up right, call or commitment of any character

Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Stock Equivalent, if any, (X) was granted in compliance with all applicable laws and all of the terms and conditions of the Stock Equivalent plans pursuant to which it was issued, (Y) has an exercise price per share equal to or greater than the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date of such grant and (Z) has a grant date identical to the date on which the Board of Directors (defined below) or compensation committee of the Board of Directors actually awarded such Stock Equivalent. Other than the Stockholders’ Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement (each as defined below), neither the Company nor any of its officers, directors, or employees is a party to any right of first refusal, right of first offer, proxy, voting agreement, voting trust, registration rights agreement, or shareholders agreement with respect to the sale or voting of any securities of the Company. Except as set forth in this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, there are no agreements or arrangements under which the Company is obligated to register the sale of any shares of capital stock of the Company under the 1933 Act.

There are no securities or instruments containing anti-dilution or similar provisions, including, but not limited to, any that will be triggered by the issuance of the Purchased Shares in the Private Placement. The Company has no stock appreciation rights or “phantom stock” plans or agreements or any similar plan or agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, “Stock Equivalent” means, with respect to any Person, options, warrants, calls, contracts, convertible securities or other rights entered into or issued by such Person which confer upon the holders thereof the right (whether or not contingent) to acquire any common stock, voting securities or securities convertible into or exchangeable for common stock or voting securities of such Person. The Company has no liabilities or obligations required to be disclosed but not so disclosed as of the date of this Agreement.

(b) Authorization; Enforcement; Validity.

The execution and delivery of the Private Placement Documents by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated by such Private Placement Documents, including, without limitation, each Subsequent Drawdown and the issuance and sale of the Purchased Shares pursuant to this Agreement have been duly authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”) and no further consent or authorization in connection therewith is required by the Company, its Board of Directors or its shareholders that has not been obtained, except that the Company’s ability to deliver a Drawdown Notice in connection with a Subsequent Drawdown shall require approval pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Stockholders’ Agreement. The Private Placement Documents have been duly executed and delivered by the Company, and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms, subject to the Bankruptcy and Equity Exception, and except that rights to indemnification and contribution thereunder may be limited by virtue of public policy under federal or state securities and banking laws. The Board of Directors has resolved that the

transactions contemplated hereby and by the Private Placement Documents are in the best interests of the Stockholders and recommended to the Stockholders the approval of the Holding Company Reorganization and other matters in connection with the Subsequent Drawdowns and related transactions.

The Bank has the requisite corporate power and authority to carry on its business as now being conducted, and, will have obtained any requisite regulatory approval required in order to conduct its business, in the same manner as now being conducted, following the closing of each Drawdown Closing, and, if necessary, has been duly qualified as a foreign corporation for the transaction of business and is in good standing under the laws of each other jurisdiction in which it owns or leases properties, or conducts its business in a manner or to an extent that would require such qualification, other than such failures to be so qualified or in good standing as, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Bank have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and non-assessable and, following the Holding Company Reorganization, are directly owned by the Company free and clear of any Lien (defined below). None of the outstanding shares of the Bank’s capital stock was issued in violation of any preemptive or similar rights.

No equity security of any Subsidiary is or may be required to be issued by reason of any option, warrant, scrip, preemptive right, right to subscribe to, gross-up right, call or commitment of any character whatsoever relating to, or security or right convertible into, shares of any capital stock of such Subsidiary, and there are no contracts, commitments, understandings or arrangements by which any Subsidiary is bound to issue additional shares of its capital stock, or any option, warrant or right to purchase or acquire any additional shares of its capital stock. The Company owns, directly or indirectly, all of the capital stock or comparable equity interests of each Subsidiary free and clear of any and all liens, charges, claims, encumbrances, security interests, rights of first refusal, preemptive rights or other restrictions of any kind (“Liens”), and all the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock or comparable equity interests of each Subsidiary are validly issued and are fully paid, non-assessable and free of preemptive and similar rights to subscribe for or purchase securities. Each Subsidiary is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation. Each Subsidiary has the requisite corporate power and authority to carry on its business as now being conducted, and, if necessary, has been duly qualified as a foreign corporation for the transaction

of business and is in good standing under the laws of each other jurisdiction in which it owns or leases properties, or conducts its business in a manner or to an extent that would require such qualification, other than such failures to be so qualified or in good standing as, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(d) Issuance of Purchased Shares. The Purchased Shares to be issued and sold to the Investors by the Company pursuant to this Agreement have been duly authorized and, when issued and delivered to the Investors against full payment therefor in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, will have been issued in compliance with all applicable state and federal securities laws, and such issuance will not result in the violation or triggering of any price-based anti-dilution adjustments under any agreement to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party, and will not subject the holders thereof to personal liability. The delivery of the Purchased Shares being issued and sold pursuant to the terms of this Agreement will pass valid title to such Purchased Shares free and clear of any Liens or defect in title to purchaser thereof, which is purchasing such Purchased Shares in good faith and without notice of any Lien or defect in title. The Purchased Shares being sold hereby will be held in book-entry form (or, upon request of the Investor, a stock certificate may be issued in the Company’s sole discretion) and will validly represent the Investor’s ownership in the Purchased Shares.

(e) No Conflicts. Neither the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Private Placement Documents nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation, the issuance and sale of the Purchased Shares) (i) conflicts with or will conflict with or constitutes or will constitute a breach of, or a default under, the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws or the organizational documents of any Subsidiary, or (ii) violates any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities and banking laws and regulations), assuming the correctness of the representations and warranties of the Investors contained in this Agreement, applicable to the Company or any Subsidiary or any of their respective properties or assets or (iii) results in a breach of, default, event of default, or Debt Repayment Triggering Event under, or results in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon, any property or assets of the Company or any Subsidiary pursuant to, or requires the consent of any other party to, any (A) Indebtedness to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or as to which any of their respective assets or properties are subject, or (B) any other contract or agreement to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or as to which any of their respective assets are subject ((A) and (B) collectively, the “Existing Instruments”), except, in the cases of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for such conflicts, breaches, defaults or Liens that do not, individually or in the aggregate, constitute material conflicts, breaches, defaults or Liens. As used herein, (1) a “Debt Repayment Triggering Event” shall mean any event or condition that gives, or with the giving of notice or lapse of time would give, the holder of any Indebtedness, whether secured or unsecured (or any indenture trustee or other Person acting on such holder’s behalf) the right to accelerate any payment or maturity of such Indebtedness, to require the Company or any Subsidiary to repurchase, redeem or repay all or a portion of such Indebtedness, or to increase the interest rates or charges or fees on any such Indebtedness and (2) “Indebtedness” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 3(s) of this Agreement.

(f) No Violation. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is currently in breach of or in default under (A) the Articles of Incorporation or the Bylaws or the organizational documents of such Subsidiary, (B) any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree of any court, tribunal, commission, self-regulatory organization or other Governmental Entity (defined below) applicable to the Company or such Subsidiary or any of their respective properties or assets, or (C) any of the Existing Instruments, except in the case of (B) or (C) above, for any breaches or defaults that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

The Company is unaware of any facts or circumstances that might prevent the Company from obtaining or effecting any of the registrations, applications or filings pursuant to the preceding sentence required to be obtained or effected, or otherwise from satisfying a condition for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Private Placement Documents.

(h) No Registration. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties made by each Investor in this Agreement, the issuance and sale to the Investors of the Purchased Shares in the manner contemplated by this Agreement are exempt from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws (or are in compliance therewith).

(i) No General Solicitation; Placement Agent’s Fees. Neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates, nor, to the Company’s knowledge after due inquiry, any Person acting on its or their behalf, has engaged in any form of “general solicitation” or “general advertising” (within the meaning of Rule 502 of Regulation D) in connection with the offer or sale of the Purchased Shares in connection with this Agreement.

(k) No Integrated Offering. Neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf, has, directly or indirectly made any offers or sales of any Company security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would require registration of the issuance of any of the Purchased Shares under the 1933 Act, whether through integration with prior offerings or otherwise.

The Company’s Subsidiaries meet or exceed the standards necessary to be considered “well capitalized” under the FDIC’s regulatory framework for prompt corrective action and are in compliance with all minimum capital adequacy requirements of the FDIC and the OCC, as applicable. As of each Drawdown Closing Date, the Company is in compliance with all minimum capital adequacy requirements of the Federal Reserve (as defined below). The Company and its Subsidiaries are not aware of, have not been advised of, and, to the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s knowledge, have no reason to believe that any facts or circumstances exist, which would cause the Company or any Subsidiary to be deemed to be not in compliance with any of the foregoing regulatory capital requirements.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each party hereto shall cooperate and consult with the other and use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or desirable, or advisable under applicable laws, so as to permit consummation of the issuance of the Purchased Shares, including the Preferred Shares (if applicable), as promptly as practicable and otherwise to enable consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the other party to that end. Each of the parties hereto shall execute and deliver both before and after each Drawdown Closing such further certificates, agreements and other documents and take such other actions as the other parties may reasonably request to consummate or implement such transactions or to evidence such events or matters. Each Investor agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Company to prepare and file any notices and other filings that may be required by the Company under applicable federal and state securities and banking laws and regulations in connection with the foregoing and in connection with acquisitions of failed depository institutions from the FDIC. In connection with the foregoing, each Investor agrees to (i) if required by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”), submit to the Federal Reserve’s standard passivity and anti-association commitments as of the date of this Agreement including informational requests specified therein, (ii) if required by the FDIC, submit to the provisions applicable to investors provided for in the FDIC’s Final Statement of Policy on Qualifications for Failed Bank Acquisitions (the “FDIC Statement”) as interpreted in Questions

and Answers issued by the FDIC as of the date of the Bank Investment Agreement and the Bank Subscription Agreements, including the informational requirements specified therein but excluding the “cross support” pledge requirements therein and (iii) make filings and provide information as required under the Change in Bank Control Act of 1978, as amended, in each case in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (each of the foregoing items (i), (ii) and (iii), a “Usual Regulatory Condition”); provided, however, that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall any Investor be required to (x) take any action that would result in such Investor being deemed in control of the Company for purposes of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHC Act”), or the cross-guaranty liability provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act or otherwise being regulated as a bank holding company within the meaning of the BHC Act, (y) accept, agree to or suffer to exist any condition, limitation, restriction or requirement other than a Usual Regulatory Condition (other than, following the date of the Bank Investment Agreement and the Bank Subscription Agreements, any specific condition, limitation, restriction or requirement of which the Company can demonstrate that the Investor was explicitly aware prior to the date of the Bank Investment Agreement and the Bank Subscription Agreements), or (z) agree to provide capital to the Company or any subsidiary thereof other than the amounts set forth on its signature page attached hereto or any amount agreed to by such Investor and the Company in any investment agreement entered into by such Investor and the Company after the date hereof, not to exceed such Investor’s Maximum Committed Percentage and Maximum Voting Percentage. The Investors and the Company will have the right to review in advance, and to the extent practicable each will consult with the other, in each case subject to applicable laws relating to the exchange of information and confidential information related to the Investors, all the information (other than confidential information) relating to such other party, and any of their respective Affiliates, which appears in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any third party or any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions to which it will be party contemplated by this Agreement. In exercising the foregoing right, each of the parties hereto agrees to act reasonably and as promptly as practicable. Each party hereto agrees to keep the other party apprised of the status of matters referred to in this Section 4(a). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Investor shall be required to provide (A) information on its investors solely in their capacities as limited partners or other similar passive equity investors, and shall be entitled to request confidential treatment from any Governmental Agency and not disclose to the Company any information that is confidential and proprietary to the Investor or (B) any information, the disclosure of which either (x) is prohibited by applicable law or contract (and such Investor shall not be obligated to seek the consent of any person to such disclosure) or (y) in the reasonable judgment of such Investor’s investment adviser, would be adverse to the interests of the Investor or such investment adviser or their respective partners or clients. To the extent consistent with applicable law, the Company shall promptly furnish to the Investors copies of all written communications received by the Company from, or delivered by the Company to, any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) Notice Filings.

The Company agrees to timely file any notices and other filings that may be required under applicable federal and state securities and banking laws and regulations in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Private Placement Documents.

Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries, as applicable, will file all Company Reports on a timely basis. As of their respective filing dates, the Company Reports will comply in all material respects with all statutes and applicable rules and regulations of the applicable Governmental Entities, as the case may be, and none of the Company Reports, when filed, will contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

To the extent the Company receives the necessary approvals to complete the Holding Company Reorganization, the Company shall promptly undertake and complete the Holding Company Reorganization in which all issued and outstanding common stock of the Bank shall be exchanged for Common Stock and, if applicable, Preferred Stock; provided that the parties hereto acknowledge that the Holding Company Reorganization and the Private Placement together are intended to constitute a tax-free contribution of property to the Company in exchange for Common Stock and, if applicable, Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 351 of the Code, and shall file all Tax Returns consistent with such treatment. Each Investor, severally and not jointly, has committed to make capital contributions to the Company on the terms set forth in this Agreement and the agreements referred to in clauses (X), (Y) and (Z) below and in connection therewith to acquire up to that number of shares of Company Common Stock and, if applicable, Preferred Stock represented by such Investor’s Maximum Dollar Investment, not to exceed such Investor’s Maximum Committed Percentage and Maximum Voting Percentage, each as set forth on such Investor’s signature page hereto. Each Investor’s obligation to make such capital contributions shall be contingent solely upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent to the obligations of the parties in this Agreement and in the Private Placement Documents in connection with the Subsequent Drawdowns, which shall without limitation include (A) approval of each Subsequent Drawdown by both the Executive Committee and the Board of Directors of the Company and (B) receipt of all required approvals, consents or non-objections of Governmental Entities including non-control determinations with respect to each Investor’s Maximum Committed Percentage and Maximum Voting Percentage; provided that no Investor shall be required to invest more than such Investor’s Maximum Committed Percentage and Maximum Voting Percentage as set forth on such Investor’s signature page hereto. The Company and the Investors shall execute and deliver (X) this Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit C to the Bank Investment Agreement and to the Bank Subscription Agreements providing for certain rights, obligations and arrangements among the Investors and the Company with respect to purchases of the Company Common Stock and, if applicable Preferred Stock and the obligations with respect to Subsequent Drawdowns up to the Maximum Committed Percentage and Maximum Voting Percentage, which shall require, among other things, each Investor to subscribe for and purchase Company Common Stock and, if

applicable, Preferred Stock in one or more Subsequent Drawdowns, at a purchase price per share equal to (i) $5.00 during the twenty-four (24) month period from and after April 29, 2011, which is the closing date of the Initial Drawdown (as defined in the Bank Investment Agreement), and (ii) “TBV” (as such term is defined in the Stockholders’ Agreement) during the subsequent twelve (12) month period, up to such Investor’s Maximum Dollar Investment, not to exceed such Investor’s Maximum Committed Percentage and Maximum Voting Percentage, over a thirty-six (36) month period from and after April 29, 2011, which is the closing date of the Initial Drawdown (as defined in the Bank Investment Agreement), subject to satisfaction of the conditions precedent to the obligations of the parties thereto, which agreement shall become effective upon receipt of all applicable required approvals, consent or non-objections of Governmental Entities, (Y) an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit D to the Bank Investment Agreement and the Bank Subscription Agreements providing for certain rights, obligations and arrangements among certain Stockholders and the Company and the governance of the Company (the “Stockholders’ Agreement”) and (Z) an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit E to the Bank Investment Agreement and the Bank Subscription Agreements providing for certain rights with respect to the registration of the Company capital stock under the federal securities laws (the “Registration Rights Agreement”); provided that any modifications to the Private Placement Documents (other than the Bank Investment Agreement and the Bank Subscription Agreements) required by applicable Governmental Entities shall only require the consent of the Company and each of the parties, other than the Bank, to the Bank Investment Agreement (the “Key Investors”), except that any material modifications shall require the consent of the Company and each of the parties to the applicable Private Placement Document and any modification that would reasonably be expected to adversely alter the rights or obligations of an Investor in a manner disproportionate to the effect such modification has on other Investors (including the Key Investors) (other than based on the relative ownership interests of such Investor) shall require the consent of such Investor.

(e) Additional Regulatory Matters.

(i) The Company and each Investor agree to cooperate and use their reasonable best efforts to ensure (without the imposition of unreasonable expense upon either party) that neither any Investor nor any of its Affiliates will be deemed to control the Company or otherwise be deemed a “bank holding company” for purposes of the BHC Act or to own an amount of voting securities of the Company which would cause such Investor (together with its Affiliates) to exceed its Maximum Voting Percentage.

(ii) The Company shall not knowingly take any action which would reasonably be expected to pose a substantial risk that any of the Investor or its Affiliates will be deemed to control the Company or otherwise be deemed a “bank holding company” for purposes of the BHC Act or to exceed such Investor’s Maximum Voting Percentage, including undertaking any redemption, recapitalization, or repurchase of Common Stock, of securities or rights, options, or warrants to purchase Common Stock, or securities of any type whatsoever that are, or may become, convertible into or exchangeable into or exercisable for Common Stock in each case, where the Investor is not given the right to participate in such redemption, recapitalization, or repurchase to the extent of the Investor’s pro rata proportion.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Investor or Affiliate of an Investor shall be required (A) to become a “bank holding company” within the meaning of the BHC Act, a “savings and loan holding company” within the meaning of the Home Owners’ Loan Act, or a similarly regulated entity under any similar or successor law; (B) to support or maintain the capital, liquidity, or financial condition of the Company or the Company’s subsidiaries (other than through the investment expressly contemplated herein); (C) to modify or limit its operations or commercial practices (except as they relate to the Company and the Company’s subsidiaries); (D) to modify or limit its governance, structure, or compensation arrangements; (E) to modify the terms of this Agreement, including, for the avoidance of doubt, the terms or the amount of the Purchased Shares to be delivered by the Company under this Agreement; (F) to become subject to or otherwise permit or accept any other condition, limitation, restriction, or restraint that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect (with respect to the Investor or its Affiliates) any material financial term of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the anticipated benefits or burdens to such Investor and its Affiliates of the transactions contemplated hereby; or (G) to propose, agree, or accept any of the items described in clauses (A) through (F) as a condition to receiving any regulatory or governmental approval or consent.

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER FEDERAL OR STATE SECURITIES LAWS IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS (INCLUDING THE REGULATIONS OF THE OFFICE OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY) AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS UNDER FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY.

THESE SECURITIES ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AS SET FORTH IN THE STOCKHOLDERS’ AGREEMENT DATED AS OF SEPTEMBER 19, 2012, AS AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, COPIES OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED UPON REQUEST FROM THE COMPANY OR ANY SUCCESSOR THERETO, AND THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE VOTED OR OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE THEREWITH.

(ii) acknowledges that the certificates for Purchased Shares or book entry position evidencing the Purchased Shares purchased pursuant to this Agreement shall not

contain the legend set forth in this Section 7: (A) while a registration statement covering the resale of such security is effective under the 1933 Act, (B) following any sale of such securities pursuant to an exemption under the 1933 Act which permits the removal of the legend (i.e., Rule 144), or (C) when the Purchased 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)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) as to such securities and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions; and

(iii) agrees that the removal of the legend from the certificates for Purchased Shares or book entry position evidencing the Purchased Shares purchased pursuant to this Agreement as set forth in this Section 7 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance that such Investor will sell any Purchased Shares purchased in the Private Placement pursuant to either the registration requirements set forth in the 1933 Act regulations, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom.

(b) If required by the Company’s transfer agent, each Investor may cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Company’s transfer agent to effect the removal of the legend set forth in this Section 7. The Company agrees that at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 7, it will, as soon as possible, but in any event within three (3) business days, following the delivery by an Investor to the Company, or its transfer agent, of a certificate or other instrument representing securities issued with a restrictive legend, together with any required legal opinion, deliver or cause to be delivered to such Investor a certificate or instrument (as the case may be) representing such securities that is free from such first restrictive legend.

(h) Successors and Assigns.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns. The Company shall not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder. An Investor may assign some or all of its rights hereunder to its Affiliates or Persons that share a common discretionary investment adviser with the Investor without the consent of the Company if in compliance with this Agreement and applicable law, in which event such assignee shall be deemed to be an Investor hereunder with respect to such assigned rights and shall be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement that apply to an “Investor.”

(i) No Third Party Beneficiaries.

Except as expressly set forth herein, this Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision of this Agreement be enforced by, any other Person.

(j) Survival.

Each of the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement shall survive the applicable Drawdown Closing Date or Escrow Funding Date, as applicable, under this Agreement but only for a period of thirty-six (36) months following the applicable Drawdown Closing Date or Escrow Funding Date, as applicable, (or until final resolution of any claim or action arising from the breach of any such representation and warranty, if notice of such breach was provided prior to the end of such period) and thereafter shall expire and have no further force and effect; provided that the representations and warranties in Section 3(a), Section 3(b), Section 3(c), Section 3(d) and Section 3(f) shall survive indefinitely and the representations and warranties in Section 3(v) and Section 3(x) shall survive until ninety (90) days after the expiration of the applicable statutory periods of limitations. Except as otherwise provided herein, all covenants and agreements contained herein shall survive for the duration of any statutes of limitations applicable thereto or until, by their respective terms, they are no longer operative.

(k) Further Assurances.

Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as any other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Private Placement Documents.

(l) No Strict Construction.

The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.

(m) Payment Set Aside.

To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to an Investor hereunder or pursuant to the other Private Placement Documents or an Investor enforces or exercises its rights hereunder or thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, foreign, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

(n) Publicity.

Subject to each party’s disclosure obligations imposed by law or regulation, each of the parties hereto will cooperate with each other in the development and distribution of all news releases and other public information disclosures with respect to this Agreement and any specific details of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (other than disclosure of the Private Placement and the aggregate size of the Private Placement without reference to any specific Investor), and no party hereto will make any such news release or public disclosure without first consulting with the other party hereto and, in each case, also receiving the other party’s consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and each party shall coordinate with the party whose consent is required with respect to any such news release or public disclosure. Except as may be required by applicable law, the Company will not, and will cause each of its Affiliates and representatives (including the Placement Agents) not to, issue any press release or public statement that identifies the Investors or any investment advisor to an Investor, or otherwise make any public statement with respect to any Investor or any investment advisor to an Investor hereby without the prior written consent of such Investor. Any such press release or public statement required by applicable law shall only be made by the Company after reasonable notice and opportunity for review by the Key Investors.

(o) Indemnification.

(i) Indemnification of Investor. Subject to any and all applicable federal and state laws and regulations, including 12 U.S.C. 1828(k) and the regulations thereunder, the

Company will indemnify and hold each Investor and its directors, officers, stockholders, members, partners, employees and agents (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 such Investor (within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act and Section 20 of the 1934 Act), and the directors, officers, stockholders, agents, members, partners or employees (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, a “Investor Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such Investor Party may suffer or incur as a result of (i) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Private Placement Documents or (ii) any action instituted against an Investor Party in its capacity, or any of them or their respective Affiliates, as a Stockholder of the Company with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the ownership of the Common Stock and Preferred Stock. The Company will not be liable to any Investor Party under this Agreement to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any Investor Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Investor Party in this Agreement or in the other Private Placement Documents; provided that such limitation shall not be deemed to apply absent a judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to such effect. The rights of any Investor Party to indemnification hereunder will be in addition to any other rights any such party may have under any other agreement or instrument referenced above or any other agreement or instrument to which such Investor Party is or becomes a party or is or otherwise becomes a beneficiary of under applicable law.

(ii) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Promptly after receipt by any Person (the “Indemnified Person”) of notice of any demand, claim or circumstances which would or might give rise to a claim or the commencement of any action, proceeding or investigation in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Section 9(o), such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the Company in writing and the Company shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, and shall assume the payment of all fees and expenses; provided, however, that the failure of any Indemnified Person so to notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Company is actually and materially and adversely prejudiced by such failure to notify. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless: (i) the Company and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel; or (ii) the Company shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person in such proceeding. The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent. Without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, the Company shall 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 Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability arising out of such proceeding.

(iii) The Company acknowledges that the Investor Designees (as defined in the Stockholders’ Agreement) and Investor Parties may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by the Investors, as applicable, and/or certain of their respective Affiliates (collectively, the “Investor Indemnitors”). The Company hereby agrees (A) that it is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to Investor Designees and Investor Parties are primary and any obligation of the Investor Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by the Investor Designees or the Investor Party are secondary), and (B) that it shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by the Investor Designee or Investor Party, as applicable, and shall be liable for the full amount of all expenses and liabilities to the extent legally permitted and as required by the terms of this Agreement and the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company (and any other agreement regarding indemnification between the Company and the Investor Designee or the Investor Party, as the case may be), without regard to any rights an Investor Designee or Investor Party may have against the Investor Indemnitor. The Company further agrees that no advancement or payment by the Investor Indemnitor on behalf of an Investor Designee or Investor Party with respect to any claim for which the Investor Designee or Investor Party has sought indemnification from the Company shall affect the foregoing and the Investor 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 Investor Designee or Investor Party against the Company. The Company and each Investor Designee and Investor Party agree that the Investor Indemnitors are express third party beneficiaries of the terms of this Section 9(o).

(p) MFN Provision.

If the Company, in connection with the Private Placement, enters into an agreement that contains terms more favorable to any investor than the terms provided to the Key Investors under this Agreement or any Private Placement Document, then at the election of each Key Investor, the Company will modify or revise the terms of this Agreement or any Private Placement Document as it relates to such Key Investor in order for the transactions contemplated hereby to reflect any more favorable terms provided to any other investor in connection with the Private Placement.

(q) Recapitalizations, Exchanges, Etc., Affecting Shares.

The provisions of this Agreement shall apply, to the full extent set forth herein with respect to the Purchased Shares, and to any and all shares of the Company or any successor or assign of the Company (whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets or otherwise) which may be issued in respect of, in exchange for, or in substitution of the Shares, by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, stock issuance, reverse stock split, combination, recapitalization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or otherwise. Upon the occurrence of any of such events, amounts hereunder shall be appropriately adjusted.

(r) No Recourse.

This Agreement affects the Investors only in their capacities as Stockholders. Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or implied in this Agreement, the Company and

each Investor covenant, agree and acknowledge that no recourse under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection with this Agreement shall be had against any current or future, director, officer, employee, general or limited partner or member of any Investor or of any Affiliate or assignee thereof, whether by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any statute, regulation or other applicable law, it being expressly agreed and acknowledged that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be incurred by any current or future, officer, agent or employee of any Investor or any current or future member of any Investor or any current or future director, officer, employee, partner or member of any Investor or of any Affiliate or assignee thereof, as such for any obligation of any Investor under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection with this Agreement for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. With respect to the Company, no recourse shall be had to any of the Stockholders of the Company or the Stockholders of any of its Affiliates (in each case in their capacity as Stockholders).

If the undersigned is an Individual (or married couple), the undersigned must complete, date and sign this Certificate.

CERTIFICATE

I certify that the representations and responses below are true and accurate:

(a) In order for the Company to offer and sell the Purchased Shares in conformance with state and federal securities laws, the following information must be obtained regarding your investor status. Please initial each category applicable to you as an Investor of the Purchased Shares of the Company.


		(1)		A natural person whose net worth, either individually or jointly with such person’s spouse, at the time of the purchase, exceeds $1,000,000. In calculating your net worth, please take the following into account: (A) If the fair market value of your primary residence is less than the amount of indebtedness secured by your primary residence (including first and second mortgage, equity lines, etc.) then include in such calculation as a liability the amount by which the indebtedness on your primary residence exceeds its fair market value. (B) If the fair market value of your primary residence exceeds the amount of indebtedness secured by your primary residence (including first and second mortgage, equity lines, etc.), then exclude from such calculation the value of your primary residence and the amount of indebtedness secured by your primary residence. (C) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you have increased the amount of indebtedness on your primary residence in the last 60 days before the date you submit this questionnaire, then include as a liability in such calculation the amount by which such indebtedness has increased in the last 60 days. For example, if you have drawn on a home equity line during the last 60 days, include the amount of that incremental debt as a liability in calculating your net worth. Similarly, if you have refinanced your mortgage during the last 60 days with a mortgage loan that has a higher amount, you must include as a liability the amount, if any, that the new mortgage loan exceeds the old mortgage loan. If you purchased your primary residence in the last 60 days, however, do not include as a liability in such calculation the amount, if any, by which the amount of the mortgage loan on your new primary residence exceeds the amount of the mortgage loan on your old primary residence;

		(2)		A natural person who had an individual income in excess of $200,000 in each of the two most recent years, or joint income with that person’s spouse in excess of $300,000, in each of those years, and has a reasonable expectation of reaching the same income level in the current year;
