In furtherance of the foregoing, CS Holdings shall provide, and shall cause Community Bank and the CS Holdings Representatives to provide, all reasonable cooperation and take all reasonable actions as may be requested by Sunshine Bancorp in connection with such redemption, including by (i) furnishing all information concerning CS Holdings and Community Bank that Sunshine Bancorp or any applicable Regulatory Authority or Governmental Entity may request in connection with such redemption or with respect to the effects of such redemption on Sunshine Bancorp or its pro forma capitalization; (ii) assisting with the preparation of any analyses or presentations Sunshine Bancorp deems necessary or advisable in its reasonable judgment in connection with such redemption or the effects thereof; and (iii) entering into any agreement with such holder (including any letter agreement among CS Holdings, Sunshine Bancorp and such holder) to effect the redemption of such shares as Sunshine Bancorp may reasonably request.

(c) The holder of a Certificate that prior to the Merger represented issued and outstanding CS Holdings Common Stock (other than Dissenting Shares) shall have no rights, after the Effective Time, with respect to such CS Holdings Common Stock except to surrender the Certificate(s) in exchange for the Merger Consideration as provided in this Agreement. After the surrender of a Certificate in accordance with this Section 2.08, the record holder thereof (other than as to Excluded Shares) shall be entitled to receive, without any interest thereon, the Merger Consideration that has become payable with respect to shares of CS Holdings Common Stock represented by such Certificate.
12
(d) If the Person surrendering a Certificate and signing the accompanying letter of transmittal is not the record holder thereof, then it shall be a condition of the payment of the Merger Consideration that: (i) such Certificate is properly endorsed to such Person or is accompanied by appropriate stock powers, in either case signed exactly as the name of the record holder appears on such Certificate, and is otherwise in proper form for transfer, or is accompanied by appropriate evidence of the authority of the Person surrendering such Certificate and signing the letter of transmittal to do so on behalf of the record holder; and (ii) the Person requesting such exchange shall pay to the Exchange Agent in advance any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the payment to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered, or required for any other reason, or shall establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Sunshine Bancorp nor the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any holder of a Certificate for any Merger Consideration delivered in respect of such Certificate to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or other similar law.
(g) In the event any Certificate shall 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 the posting by such person of a bond in such amount as the Exchange Agent may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration deliverable in respect thereof.
(h) Sunshine Bancorp or the Exchange Agent will be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby to any holder of CS Holdings Common Stock such amounts as Sunshine Bancorp (or any Affiliate thereof) or the Exchange Agent are required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any applicable provision of U.S. federal, state, local or non-U.S. tax law. To the extent that such amounts are properly withheld by Sunshine Bancorp or the Exchange Agent, and represent tax liabilities of the holder of CS Holdings Common Stock, such withheld amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of CS Holdings Common Stock in respect of whom such deduction and withholding were made by Sunshine Bancorp or the Exchange Agent. The Option Consideration shall be treated as compensation and shall be payable net of any applicable federal and state income and employment withholding taxes.

All such permits, licenses, certificates of authority, orders and approvals are in full force and effect in all material respects and, to the Knowledge of CS Holdings, no suspension or cancellation of any such permit, license, certificate, order or approval is threatened or will result from the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, subject to obtaining Regulatory Approvals.

(a) CS Holdings shall not, and shall cause Community Bank and the respective officers, directors, employees, investment bankers, financial advisors, attorneys, accountants, consultants, affiliates and other agents (collectively, the “CS Holdings Representatives”) not to, directly or indirectly, (i) initiate, solicit, induce or knowingly encourage, or take any action to facilitate the making of, any inquiry, offer or proposal which constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal; (ii) participate in discussions or negotiations regarding any Acquisition Proposal or furnish, or otherwise afford access, to any Person (other than Sunshine Bancorp) any information or data with respect to CS Holdings or Community Bank or otherwise relating to an Acquisition Proposal; (iii) release any Person from, waive any provision of, or fail to enforce any confidentiality agreement or standstill agreement to which CS Holdings is a party; or (iv) enter into any agreement, agreement in principle or letter of intent with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or approve or resolve to approve any Acquisition Proposal or any agreement, agreement in principle or letter of intent relating to an Acquisition Proposal. Any violation of the foregoing restrictions by CS Holdings or any Representative, whether or not such Representative is so authorized and whether or not such Representative is purporting to act on behalf of CS Holdings or otherwise, shall be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement by CS Holdings. CS Holdings and CS Holdings Subsidiaries shall, and shall cause each of CS Holdings Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any and all existing discussions, negotiations, and communications with any Persons with respect to any existing or potential Acquisition Proposal.
For purposes of this Agreement, “Acquisition Proposal” shall mean any inquiry, offer or proposal (other than an inquiry, offer or proposal from Sunshine Bancorp), whether or not in writing, contemplating, relating to, or that could reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Transaction. For purposes of this Agreement, “Acquisition Transaction” shall mean (A) any transaction or series of transactions involving any merger, consolidation, recapitalization, share exchange, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving CS Holdings or Community Bank; (B) any transaction pursuant to which any third party or group acquires or would acquire (whether through sale, lease or other disposition), directly or indirectly, assets of CS Holdings or Community Bank representing, in the aggregate, twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the assets of CS Holdings and Community Bank on a consolidated basis; (C) any issuance, sale or other disposition of (including by way of merger, consolidation, share exchange or any similar transaction) securities (or options, rights or warrants to purchase or securities convertible into, such securities) representing twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the votes attached to the outstanding securities of CS Holdings or Community Bank; (D) any tender offer or exchange offer that, if consummated, would result in any third party or group beneficially owning twenty-five percent (25%) or more of any class of equity securities of CS Holdings or Community Bank; or (E) any transaction which is similar in form, substance or purpose to any of the foregoing transactions, or any combination of the foregoing.
(b) Notwithstanding Section 5.12(a), CS Holdings may take any of the actions described in clause (ii) of Section 5.12(a) only if: (i) CS Holdings has received a bona fide unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal, prior to the CS Holdings Shareholders Meeting, that did not result from a breach of this Section 5.12; (ii) the CS Holdings board of directors determines in good faith, after consultation with and having considered the advice of its outside legal counsel and its independent financial advisor, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or is reasonably likely to lead to a Superior Proposal; (iii) CS Holdings has provided Sunshine Bancorp with at least three (3) Business Days’ prior notice of such determination; and (iv) prior to furnishing or affording access to any information or data with respect to CS Holdings or Community Bank or otherwise relating to an Acquisition Proposal, CS Holdings receives from such Person
41
a confidentiality agreement with terms no less favorable to CS Holdings than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement. CS Holdings shall promptly provide to Sunshine Bancorp any non-public information regarding CS Holdings or Community Bank provided to any other Person that was not previously provided to Sunshine Bancorp, such additional information to be provided no later than the date of provision of such information to such other party.
For purposes of this Agreement, “Superior Proposal” shall mean any bona fide written proposal (on its most recently amended or modified terms, if amended or modified) made by a third party to enter into an Acquisition Transaction on terms that the CS Holdings board determines in its good faith judgment, after consultation with and having considered the advice of outside legal counsel and a financial advisor (i) would, if consummated, result in the acquisition of all, but not less than all, of the issued and outstanding shares of CS Holdings Common Stock or all, or substantially all, of the assets of CS Holdings and Community Bank on a consolidated basis; (ii) would result in a transaction that (A) involves consideration to the holders of the shares of CS Holdings Common Stock that is more favorable, from a financial point of view, than the consideration to be paid to the CS Holdings Shareholders pursuant to this Agreement, considering, among other things, the nature of the consideration being offered and any material regulatory approval or other risk associated with the timing of the proposed transaction beyond or in addition to those specifically contemplated hereby, and which proposal is not conditioned upon obtaining additional financing and (B) is, in light of the other terms of such proposal, more favorable to the CS Holdings Shareholders than the Merger and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (iii) is reasonably likely to be completed on the terms proposed, in each case taking into account all legal, financial, regulatory and other aspects of the proposal.
(c) CS Holdings shall promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) notify Sunshine Bancorp in writing if any proposal or offer is received by, any information is requested from, or any negotiation or discussion is sought to be initiated or continued with, CS Holdings or any CS Holdings Representative, in each case in connection with any Acquisition Proposal, and such notice shall indicate the name of the Person initiating such discussions or negotiations or making such proposal, offer or information request and the material terms and conditions of any proposals or offers (and, in the case of written materials relating to such proposal, offer, information request, negotiations or discussion, providing copies of such materials (including e-mails or other electronic communications). CS Holdings agrees that it shall keep Sunshine Bancorp informed, on a current basis, of the status and terms of any such proposal, offer, information request, negotiation or discussion (including any amendment or modification to such proposal, offer or request).
(d) Subject to Section 5.12(e), neither the CS Holdings board of directors nor any committee thereof shall (i) withdraw, qualify or modify, or propose to withdraw, qualify or modify, in a manner adverse to Sunshine Bancorp in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Merger), the CS Holdings Recommendation (as defined in Section 5.13), or make any statement, filing or release, in connection with CS Holdings Shareholders Meeting or otherwise, inconsistent with the CS Holdings Recommendation (it being understood that taking a neutral position or no position with respect to an Acquisition Proposal shall be considered an adverse modification of the CS Holdings Recommendation); (ii) approve or recommend, or publicly propose to approve or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal; or (iii) enter into (or cause CS Holdings or Community Bank to enter into) any letter of intent, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement or other agreement (A) related to any Acquisition Transaction (other than a confidentiality agreement entered into in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.12(b)) or (B) requiring CS Holdings to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement.
(e) Notwithstanding Section 5.12(d), prior to the date of CS Holdings Shareholders Meeting, the CS Holdings board of directors may approve or recommend to the shareholders of CS Holdings a
42
Superior Proposal and withdraw, qualify or modify the CS Holdings Recommendation in connection therewith (a “CS Holdings Subsequent Determination”) after the third (3rd) Business Day following Sunshine Bancorp’s receipt of a notice (the “Notice of Superior Proposal”) from CS Holdings advising Sunshine Bancorp that the CS Holdings board has decided that a bona fide unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal that it received (that did not result from a breach of this Section 5.12) constitutes a Superior Proposal (it being understood that CS Holdings shall be required to deliver a new Notice of Superior Proposal in respect of any revised Superior Proposal from such third party or its affiliates that CS Holdings proposes to accept and the subsequent notice period shall be two (2) business days) if, but only if, (i) the CS Holdings board of directors has reasonably determined in good faith, after consultation with and having considered the advice of outside legal counsel and a financial advisor, that the failure to take such actions would be reasonably likely to violate its fiduciary duties to CS Holdings’ shareholders under applicable law, and (ii) at the end of such three (3) Business Day period or the two (2) Business Day Period (as the case may be), after taking into account any such adjusted, modified or amended terms as may have been committed to in writing by Sunshine Bancorp since its receipt of such Notice of Superior Proposal (provided, however, that Sunshine Bancorp shall not have any obligation to propose any adjustment, modification or amendment to the terms and conditions of this Agreement), the CS Holdings board of directors has again in good faith made the determination (A) in clause (i) of this Section 5.12(e) and (B) that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the changing, qualifying or modifying of the CS Holdings Recommendation or the making of an CS Holdings Subsequent Determination by the CS Holdings board of directors shall not change the approval of the CS Holdings board of directors for purposes of causing any applicable “moratorium,” “control share,” “fair price,” “takeover,” “interested shareholder” or similar law to be inapplicable to this Agreement and the CS Holdings Voting Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the Mergers.
(f) Nothing contained in this Section 5.12 shall prohibit CS Holdings or the CS Holdings board of directors from complying with CS Holdings’ obligations required under Rules 14d-9 (as if such rule were applicable to CS Holdings) and 14e-2(a) (as if such rule were applicable to CS Holdings) promulgated under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that any such disclosure relating to an Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed a change in CS Holdings Recommendation unless the CS Holdings board of directors reaffirms CS Holdings Recommendation in such disclosure.
Section 5.13. Shareholders Meeting.
CS Holdings will submit to its shareholders this Agreement and all other matters required to be approved or adopted by shareholders in order to carry out the intentions of this Agreement. In furtherance of that obligation, CS Holdings will take, in accordance with applicable law and its articles of incorporation and bylaws, all action necessary to call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its shareholders (the “CS Holdings Shareholders Meeting”) as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than seventy-five (75) days following execution of this Agreement for the purpose of considering and voting on approval and adoption of this Agreement and the transactions provided for in this Agreement; provided however, that the CS Holdings Shareholders Meeting shall be held no later than May 31, 2015. CS Holdings agrees that its obligations pursuant to this Section 5.13 shall not be affected by the commencement, public proposal, public disclosure or communication to CS Holdings of any Acquisition Proposal or by any Change of Recommendation (as defined below). Subject to Section 5.12(e), CS Holdings shall: (i) through CS Holdings’ board of directors, recommend to its shareholders approval and adoption of this Agreement (the “CS Holdings Recommendation”); (ii) include such recommendation in the proxy statement for such CS Holdings Shareholders Meeting and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from the CS Holdings Shareholders a vote approving and adopting this Agreement. For the purposes of holding the CS Holdings Shareholders Meeting, CS Holdings shall draft and prepare a proxy statement satisfying all applicable requirements of applicable laws (the “Proxy Statement”) and cause the Proxy Statement not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein
43
or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading. CS Holdings shall provide Sunshine Bancorp with appropriate opportunity to review and comment on its Proxy Statement (not less than thirty (30) days prior to the mailing of the Proxy Statement to CS Holdings shareholders or fifteen (15) days prior to the filing of any applications with a Regulatory Authority which requires inclusion of the Proxy Statement), and shall incorporate all appropriate comments thereto.
Section 5.14 CS Holdings 401(k) Plan.
The CS Holdings 401(k) Plan shall be terminated immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “401(k) Plan Termination Date”). As soon as practicable, CS Holdings shall file or cause to be filed all necessary documents with the IRS for a determination letter that the termination of the Plan as of the 401(k) Plan Termination Date will not adversely affect the CS Holdings 401(k) Plan’s qualified status. As soon as practicable following receipt of a favorable determination letter from the IRS regarding the qualified status of the CS Holdings 401(k) Plan upon termination, the account balances in the CS Holdings 401(k) Plan shall be distributed to participants and beneficiaries or transferred to an eligible tax-qualified plan or individual retirement account as a participant or beneficiary may direct. CS Holdings shall adopt or cause to adopt the necessary amendment(s) and board resolution(s) to effect the provisions of this Section 5.14.
Section 5.15 CS Holdings Stock Option Plans and CS Holdings Warrant Plans

Section 6.06 Employee and Termination Benefits; Directors and Management
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Sunshine Bancorp will review all CS Holdings Compensation and Benefit Plans to determine whether to maintain, terminate or continue such plans after the Effective Time. In the event that any CS Holdings Compensation and Benefit Plan is frozen or terminated by Sunshine Bancorp, Sunshine Bancorp will use best efforts so that the former employees of CS Holdings or Community Bank who become employees of Sunshine Bancorp or Sunshine Bank immediately following the Effective Time (“Continuing Employees”) will become eligible to participate in any employee benefit plan of Sunshine Bancorp or Sunshine Bank (“Sunshine Bancorp Compensation and Benefit Plan”) of similar character and provided to similarly-situated employees (to the extent that one exists, other than any Sunshine Bancorp or Sunshine Bank non-qualified deferred compensation plan, employment agreement, change in control agreement or equity incentive plan or other similar-type of arrangement). Continuing Employees who become participants in a Sunshine Bancorp Compensation and Benefit Plan shall, for purposes of determining eligibility for and any applicable vesting periods of such employee benefits only (and not for benefit accrual purposes) shall be given credit for meeting eligibility and vesting requirements in such plans for service as an employee of CS Holdings or Community Bank prior to the Effective time, provided, however that such prior service shall not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits; and provided further, that no prior service credit shall be given for any purpose under the Sunshine Bank ESOP. This Agreement shall not be construed to limit the ability of Sunshine Bancorp or Sunshine Bank to terminate the employment of any employee or to review employee benefits programs from time to time and to make such changes (including terminating any program) as they deem appropriate. Except to the extent of commitments herein or other contractual commitments, if any, specifically made or assumed by Sunshine Bancorp hereunder or by operation of law, Sunshine Bancorp or Sunshine Bank shall have no obligation arising from and after the Effective Time to continue in its employ or in any specific job or to provide to any specified level of compensation or any incentive payments, benefits or perquisites to any Person who is an employee of CS Holdings or any CS Holding Subsidiary as of the Effective Time.

45
Xx. Xxxxxxxx’x employment agreement with CS Holdings or Community Bank. Sunshine Bancorp shall honor all other employment agreements set forth on CS Holdings Disclosure Schedule 3.12(a), except to the extent that any such agreements are superseded or terminated at the Closing Date or following the Closing Date with the written consent of the affected parties. The estimated amounts payable under such employment agreements are provided in the Benefits Schedule.
(c) In the event of any termination of any CS Holdings or Community Bank health plan or consolidation of any such plan with any Sunshine Bancorp or Sunshine Bank health plan, Sunshine Bancorp shall make available to Continuing Employees and their dependents employer-provided health coverage on the same basis as it provides such coverage to Sunshine Bancorp and Sunshine Bank employees. Unless a Continuing Employee affirmatively terminates coverage under a CS Holdings or Community Bank health plan prior to the time that such Continuing Employee becomes eligible to participate in the Sunshine Bancorp health plan, no coverage of any of the Continuing Employees or their dependents shall terminate under any of the CS Holdings or Community Bank health plans prior to the time such Continuing Employees and their dependents become eligible to participate in the health plans, programs and benefits common to all employees of Sunshine Bancorp or Sunshine Bank and their dependents. In the event of a termination or consolidation of any CS Holdings or Community Bank health plan, terminated employees of CS Holdings or Community Bank and qualified beneficiaries will have the right to continued coverage under group health plans of Sunshine Bancorp in accordance with COBRA.

The liquidation value of each participant’s accrued benefit under the CS Holdings SERP to be paid at the Effective Time shall be determined by CS Holdings and approved by Sunshine Bancorp no later than ten (10) business days prior to the Effective Time. The projected vested accrued benefits payable under the CS Holdings SERP are set forth in the Benefits Schedule.
(e) Each full-time employee of CS Holdings or Community Bank, other than an employee who is a party to an employment agreement, change in control agreement or other separation agreement that provides a benefit on a termination of employment, who incurs an involuntary termination (other than for cause) within six (6) months following the Effective Time shall receive a lump sum severance payment from Sunshine Bancorp or Sunshine Bank (or CS Holdings, as directed by Sunshine Bancorp) equal to two (2) weeks of pay at the rate then in effect, for each full year of employment with CS Holdings or Community Bank, up to a maximum of twenty six (26) weeks, provided that such employee enters into a release of claims against CS Holdings and Sunshine Bancorp, their Subsidiaries and Affiliates in a form satisfactory to Sunshine Bancorp.
(f) Effective as of the Closing Date, Sunshine Bancorp shall cause all members of the board of directors of CS Holdings as of the date of this Agreement who do not become members of the board of directors of Sunshine Bancorp, if such persons are willing to serve, to be elected or appointed as members of an advisory board (the “Advisory Board”) to be established by Sunshine Bancorp, the function of which shall be to assist Sunshine Bancorp to maintain CS Holdings’ customer relationships.

Section 6.07 Directors and Officers Indemnification and Insurance.
(a) For a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time, Sunshine Bancorp shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each person who is now, or who has been at any time before the date hereof or who becomes before the Effective Time, an officer or director of CS Holdings or Community Bank (the “Indemnified Parties”) against all losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses (including attorney’s fees), liabilities or judgments or amounts that are paid in settlement (which settlement shall require the prior written consent of Sunshine Bancorp, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) of or in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, or administrative (each a “Claim”), in which an Indemnified Party is, or is threatened to be made, a party or witness in whole or in part or arising in whole or in part out of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer or employee of CS Holdings or Community Bank if such Claim pertains to any matter of fact arising, existing or occurring at or before the Effective Time (including, without limitation, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby), regardless of whether such Claim is asserted or claimed before, or after, the Effective Time, to the fullest extent as is permitted by Sunshine Bancorp under Maryland law and under Sunshine Bancorp’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws. Sunshine Bancorp shall pay expenses in advance of the final disposition of any such action or proceeding to each Indemnified Party to the fullest extent as is permitted by Sunshine Bancorp under Maryland law and under Sunshine Bancorp’s articles of incorporation and bylaws, upon receipt of an undertaking to repay such advance payments if he shall be adjudicated or determined to be not entitled to indemnification in the manner set forth below. Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under this Section 6.07 upon learning of any Claim, shall notify Sunshine Bancorp (but the failure so to notify Sunshine Bancorp shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under this Section 6.07, except to the extent such failure materially prejudices Sunshine Bancorp) and shall deliver to Sunshine Bancorp the undertaking referred to in the previous sentence.
(b) In the event that either Sunshine Bancorp or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other person and shall not be the continuing or surviving bank or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Sunshine Bancorp shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.07.
(c) Sunshine Bancorp shall maintain, or shall cause Sunshine Bank to maintain, in effect for up to six years following the Effective Time, the current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies covering the officers and directors of CS Holdings (provided, that Sunshine Bancorp may substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage containing terms and conditions which are not materially less favorable to the officers and directors of CS Holdings and Community Bank) with respect to matters occurring at or prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that in no event shall Sunshine Bancorp be required to expend pursuant to this Section 6.07(c) an aggregate amount in excess of 175% of the annual cost currently expended by CS Holdings with respect to such insurance (the “Maximum Amount”); provided, further, that if the amount of the aggregate premium necessary to maintain or procure such insurance coverage exceeds the Maximum Amount, Sunshine Bancorp shall maintain the most advantageous policies of directors’ and officers’ insurance obtainable for a premium equal to the Maximum Amount. In connection with the foregoing, CS Holdings agrees, in order for Sunshine Bancorp to fulfill its agreement to provide directors and officers liability insurance policies for up to six years, to provide such insurer or substitute insurer with such reasonable and customary representations as such insurer may request with respect to the reporting of any prior claims. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in the Section 6.07(c) limits Sunshine Bancorp’s obligations under 6.07(a) or 6.07(b) or Sunshine Bancorp’s or CS Holdings’ obligations under Maryland or Florida law, respectively.
47
(d) The obligations of Sunshine Bancorp provided under this Section 6.07 are intended to be enforceable against Sunshine Bancorp directly by the Indemnified Parties and shall be binding on all respective successors and permitted assigns of Sunshine Bancorp.
