(3) There are no pending or, to the Knowledge of Purchaser, threatened disputes or controversies between Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and any Governmental Authority, on the other hand, including with respect to capital requirements, that (A) would reasonably be expected to prevent or delay Purchaser from being able to perform its obligations under this Agreement or (B) would reasonably be expected to impair the validity or materially delay the consummation of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

(e) Litigation. No Action by or before any court, arbitrator, mediator or Governmental Authority is pending against Purchaser or its Affiliates, and, to Purchaser’s Knowledge, no such Action is threatened, except as has not had or would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on Purchaser’s ability to (1) satisfy its obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or (2) obtain reasonably promptly the Requisite Regulatory Approvals listed on the Purchaser Requisite Regulatory Approvals Schedule.

(b) During the period from the date hereof until the Closing, Seller, Purchaser and Parent shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, cooperate and use their reasonable best efforts to prepare as promptly as practicable all documentation, to make all filings and to obtain all consents, approvals, waivers, Permits and other authorizations of all Governmental Authorities required to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and shall make all necessary filings in respect of the Requisite Regulatory Approvals as promptly as reasonably practicable, but in any event within thirty (30) days of the date of this Agreement. After the date hereof, each Party shall be given the opportunity to review in advance, and shall consult with the other, in each case subject to applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information, with respect to all non-confidential, material written information submitted to any third Person (other than such Party’s Representatives) or any Governmental Authority in connection with any Requisite Regulatory Approval and, subject to the foregoing, each Party shall have the opportunity to participate in any material calls and meetings with Governmental Authorities with regard to the Requisite Regulatory Approvals. In exercising the foregoing right, each Party shall, and shall cause its

-47-

respective Affiliates to, act reasonably and as promptly as reasonably practicable. Each Party agrees that it shall consult with each other with respect to obtaining all material permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all third Persons and Governmental Authorities necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby as promptly as reasonably practicable, and each Party shall keep the other Parties apprised of the status of material matters relating to the completion of the transactions contemplated hereby. Specifically, all filings made relating to competitive issues shall be prepared jointly by the Parties.

For purposes of this Section 4.02(c), “Remedial Action” means (x) promptly complying with any request for information by any Governmental Authority; (y) offering, negotiating, committing to and effecting, by agreement, consent decree, hold separate order or otherwise, the sale, divestiture, license or other disposition of any deposits, loans, branches or operations of Bank, Parent, Purchaser or their Affiliates and any other restrictions on the activities of Bank, Parent, Purchaser and their Affiliates and (z) contesting, defending and appealing any threatened or pending preliminary or permanent injunction or other order, decree or ruling, that would affect adversely the ability of Purchaser to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and taking any and all actions to prevent the entry, enactment or promulgation thereof. For purposes of this Section 4.02(c), “Capital Action” means (x) committing to any Governmental Authority with regulatory or supervisory authority over Parent, Purchaser or their applicable Affiliates to maintain capital levels and capital ratios at a level specified by such Governmental Authority, either formally or informally, and either currently or as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents; (y) creating a capital plan that is acceptable to any Governmental Authority with regulatory or supervisory authority over Parent, Purchaser or their applicable Affiliates, either by entering into a new capital plan or modifying an existing capital plan and (z) taking all actions reasonably necessary, including by raising capital through a public or private equity or debt offering, to satisfy fully and achieve the regulatory capital expectations of any Governmental Authority with regulatory or supervisory authority over Parent, Purchaser or their applicable Affiliates in the time frames required by such Governmental Authority.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing Sections 4.02(b) and (c) or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing contained herein shall be deemed to require Parent or Purchaser to take any action, or commit to take any action, or agree to any condition or restriction, in connection with obtaining the Requisite Regulatory Approvals that would reasonably be expected to be materially burdensome to Parent, Purchaser and their Affiliates,

-48-

taken as a whole, following the consummation of the Stock Sale and the Bank Merger or the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreements (a “Burdensome Condition”); provided that any Capital Action required to be taken shall not constitute, or be considered in determining whether any required action constitutes, a Burdensome Condition.

(e) Each Party shall, upon request, furnish the other Parties all information concerning itself, its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees and shareholders and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with any filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of it or any of its Affiliates with or to any third Person or Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents other than information containing competitively sensitive business or other proprietary information or confidential supervisory information or that is not permitted to be disclosed under applicable Law.

(f) Any Party may, as it deems advisable and necessary, designate any competitively sensitive business or other proprietary or confidential information provided to the other Party under this Section 4.02 as “outside counsel only.” Such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to outside counsel of the recipient Party, and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel to employees, officers, or directors of the receiving Party unless express permission is obtained in advance from the source of the materials or its legal counsel.

4.03 Press Releases. From and after the date of this Agreement and continuing thereafter (including following the Closing), Seller and Parent shall consult with each other before issuing (or permitting any Affiliate to issue) any press release or public statement or making any other public disclosure (including, prior to the Closing, any broad-based employee communication that is reasonably likely to become the subject of public disclosure) related to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby and shall not issue any such press release or public statement or make any other such public disclosure without the prior written consent of the other, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided that nothing in this Section 4.03 shall be deemed to prohibit Seller or Parent from making any disclosure necessary in order to satisfy its disclosure obligations imposed by Law or applicable public stock exchange or any other similar self-regulatory organization. In addition to the foregoing, Seller and Parent shall not issue any press release or otherwise make any public statement or disclosure concerning the other, the other’s Affiliates or the business, financial condition or results of operations of the other or the other’s Affiliates without the prior written consent of Seller or Parent, as the case may be, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Without limiting the foregoing, without the prior written consent of the other Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), each Party shall cause its respective Affiliates not to issue any press release or public statement or make any other public disclosure related to the Transaction Documents and the transactions

-49-

contemplated thereby. This Section 4.03 shall not prohibit any press release or public statement or disclosure so long as any statements contained therein concerning the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby are consistent with and limited in all material respects to the statements contained in previous press releases or public statements or disclosures made by the applicable Party with respect to such Party has complied with the provisions of this Section 4.03.

4.04 Access; Information; Transfer of Books and Records.

(a) To the extent not prohibited by applicable Law, during the period from the date of this Agreement continuing through the Closing or termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.01, Seller shall, and shall cause the Bank Entities to, afford to Purchaser, its Affiliates and its and their respective Representatives reasonable access upon reasonable prior notice and during normal business hours, to the officers, employees, properties, offices and other facilities, and to the contracts, Books and Records and other documents and data to the extent relating to the business of the Bank Entities, the Purchased Assets or the Assumed Liabilities that Purchaser, including through its Representatives, may from time to time reasonably request and Seller shall, and shall cause the Bank Entities and its and their respective Representatives to, furnish Purchaser and its Representatives all relevant financial, operating and other data and information to the extent primarily relating to the Bank Entities, the Purchased Assets or the Assumed Liabilities in any of Seller’s or any of its Affiliates’ (including the Bank Entities) possession or control which Purchaser, including through its Representatives, may from time to time reasonably request, provided, however, that Purchaser’s access to Tax Returns and other Tax information filed by or otherwise relating to the Bank Entities shall be governed by Section 4.12; provided, further that Seller shall not be required to provide access to any information to the extent that such access: (1) would violate applicable Law; (2) would result in disclosure of (I) any confidential supervisory information, (II) any Trade Secrets or (III) any competitively sensitive information of Seller or of a third Person or Governmental Authority to whom Seller has confidentiality obligations; or (3) would jeopardize the attorney-client privilege of the Person in possession or control of such information (unless, in the case of this clause (3), Purchaser agrees to enter into a joint defense agreement or other similar agreement that would be reasonably expected to preserve such privilege); provided that, in the case of clauses (2)(III) and (3), Seller shall use reasonable best efforts to make substitute disclosure arrangements that are reasonably acceptable to Purchaser. Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, conduct its activities permitted under this Section 4.04(a) in a manner that will not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of the business of Seller and its Affiliates. All requests for access to the Books and Records shall be made to such Representatives of Seller as Seller shall designate, who shall be solely responsible for coordinating all such requests and all access permitted hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent a Party is otherwise entitled to “access” hereunder, “access” is understood to include the ability of such Party to obtain or retain copies of such information and to use such information for the purposes, and in accordance with, the provisions specified in this Section 4.04.

-50-

(b) During the period from the date of this Agreement continuing through the Closing or termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.01, Seller shall, and shall cause the Bank Entities to, furnish to Purchaser, its Affiliates and its and their respective Representatives, Bank’s (A) audited consolidated financial statements (including any related notes and schedules thereto) for any fiscal year which ends between the date of this Agreement and the Closing, (B) Bank’s unaudited consolidated reports of condition and income (call report) for any fiscal year which ends between the date of this Agreement and the Closing and (C) Bank’s unaudited consolidated reports of condition and income (call report) for each fiscal quarter which ends between the date of this Agreement and the Closing (clauses (A) through (C), collectively, the “Interim Financial Statements”), in each case, when such Interim Financial Statements are available in the ordinary course of business.

(c) Seller shall use reasonable best efforts to deliver or cause to be delivered, at the Closing, to the applicable Bank Entities copies of all of the Books and Records (other than Excluded Books and Records) that are not in (x) the possession or control of the Bank Entities or (y) the storage facility described in Section 4.04(c) of the Bank Disclosure Schedules (the “Storage Facility”). To the extent any Books and Records (other than Excluded Books and Records) are not in the possession or control of the Bank Entities and are not in the Storage Facility, in each case, as of the Closing, Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered, as soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing (and in any event no later than the fifteenth day following the Closing Date), to the applicable Bank Entity copies of all of such Books and Records. With respect to the Books and Records located at the Storage Facility, Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate in good faith and use reasonable best efforts to seek to have such Books and Records transferred from Seller’s agreements with the Storage Facility provider governing Seller’s documents maintained at the Storage Facility to Purchaser’s agreements with the Storage Facility provider governing Purchaser’s documents maintained at the Storage Facility (to the extent possible without any physical movement or relocation of any such Books and Records). All costs and expenses incurred in connection with such transfer contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence shall be borne and paid by Seller, provided, that to the extent any costs and expenses are incurred in respect of the physical movement or relocation of Books and Records required by the Storage Facility provider, such costs and expenses shall be borne and paid equally by Seller and Purchaser.

(d) Purchaser shall maintain records of the Bank Entities in accordance with its document retention policies applied generally to its operations. To the extent the relevant information, data or records continues to be maintained by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (in the case of the following clause (i)) or by Seller or any of its Affiliates (in the case of the following clause (ii)), (i) Purchaser will grant to Seller and its Representatives reasonable access upon prior notice and during Purchaser’s normal business hours to all Books and Records that are in the possession or control of the

-51-

Bank Entities as of the Closing, other documents and data relating to the business of the Purchased Assets or the Assumed Liabilities and to Continuing Employees, and (ii) Seller will grant, and will cause its Affiliates to grant to, Purchaser and its Representatives reasonable access upon prior notice and during Seller’s normal business hours to all Excluded Books and Records that are not transferred to the Bank Entities in accordance with Section 4.04(c) above; provided that Seller and its Representative shall only be entitled to such access under clause (i) to the extent such access is reasonably necessary in connection with (1) Seller’s or its Affiliates’ preparation of its financial statements or Tax Returns, (2) regulatory or compliance matters relating to Seller’s prior ownership of the Bank Entities, or (3) litigation relating to Seller’s prior ownership of the Bank Entities (other than any litigation between Seller or any of its post-Closing Affiliates, on the one hand, and Purchaser or any of its post-Closing Affiliates, on the other hand); provided, further, that neither Purchaser, Seller nor any of their respective Affiliates shall be required to provide access under clause (i) or (ii), as applicable, to any information to the extent that such access: (x) would violate applicable Law; (y) would result in disclosure of any (I) confidential supervisory information, (II) Trade Secrets or (III) competitively sensitive information of Purchaser, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates, as applicable, or of a third Person or Governmental Authority to whom, Purchaser, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates has confidentiality obligations; or (z) would jeopardize the attorney-client privilege of the Person in possession or control of such information (unless, in the case of this clause (z), Purchaser or Seller, as applicable, agrees to enter into a joint defense agreement or other similar agreement that would be reasonably expected to preserve such privilege); provided that, in the case of clauses (y)(III) and (z), Purchaser or Seller, as applicable, shall use reasonable best efforts to make substitute disclosure arrangements that are reasonably acceptable to the other Party. Purchaser and Seller, as the case may be, shall, and shall cause their respective Representatives to, conduct their respective activities permitted under this Section 4.04(d) in a manner that will not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of the business of the other Party and such other Party’s Affiliates.

(e) Other than Purchaser’s right to consent to or withhold consent with respect to the actions described in Section 4.01, nothing contained in this Agreement shall give any Party, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the operations of any other Party prior to the Closing and, prior to the Closing, each Party shall exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, complete control and supervision over its and its subsidiaries’ respective operations.

4.05 Exclusivity. Seller agrees that between the date of this Agreement and the Closing, or termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VII, Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates and instruct its and their Representatives to not, directly or indirectly, solicit, encourage or initiate the submission of proposals or offers from, provide any confidential information to, or participate in discussions or negotiations or enter into any Contract with any Person (other than Purchaser and its Affiliates) concerning (i) the sale, lease or transfer of any equity interests in the Bank Entities or

-52-

all or substantially all of the assets thereof or (ii) any merger, sale, consolidation or any similar transaction involving the Bank Entities by any Person other than the Purchaser or its Affiliates (each of (i) and (ii), a “Third-Party Transaction”). Seller shall immediately cease, and cause its Affiliates and instruct its Representative to immediately cease, any discussions, negotiations or communications with respect to any Third-Party Transaction, and Seller shall notify Purchaser as promptly as practicable of any inquiries or proposals that are received by Seller with respect to any Third-Party Transaction and of any discussions, negotiations, requests for information or other communications with respect to any Third-Party Transaction; provided, however, that this Section 4.05 shall not apply to, or limit or restrict the Parties or their respective Affiliates from providing information to any Governmental Authority with regulatory or supervisory authority over such Party or its Affiliates.

4.06 Notice of Changes.

(a) Purchaser shall promptly advise Seller, and Seller shall promptly advise Purchaser of, (1) any change or event that would or would be reasonably likely to cause or constitute a material breach of any of Purchaser’s or Seller’s, as applicable, representations, warranties or covenants under this Agreement or (2) to the extent permitted by applicable Law and to the Knowledge of Purchaser or Seller, as applicable, any governmental complaints, any change or event, including investigations or hearings (or communications indicating that the same may be contemplated), issues with respect to receipt of the Requisite Regulatory Approvals on a timely basis or the institution or the threat of significant litigation, that would prevent or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, a Party’s failure to comply with its obligations under this Section 4.06 shall not provide the other Party with a right not to effect the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except, in each case, to the extent that the underlying material breach of a representation, warranty or covenant would independently provide such right.

4.07 Confidentiality.

(a) Subject to Section 4.07(b) and Section 4.07(c), from and after the date hereof and continuing thereafter, each of Seller and Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives to, keep confidential all information and data that the other (whether Seller or Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or Representatives) furnishes or otherwise makes available to Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, or its respective Affiliates or Representatives whether before, on or after the date of this Agreement (and, following the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives to, keep confidential all information and data relating to any Bank Entity, any of their respective businesses, the Purchased Assets or the Assumed Liabilities), including any technical, scientific, Trade Secret or other proprietary information of the other Party with which Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, or its respective Affiliates or Representatives may come into contact in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement

-53-

or the Purchase Agreements, and whether oral, written, or electronic, or other form, together with any reports, analyses, compilations, forecasts, memoranda, notes, studies and any other written or electronic materials prepared by or for Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, or its respective Affiliates or Representatives, that contain, incorporate, reflect or are based upon or generated from such information, including all copies, electronic or otherwise, and reproductions thereof (collectively, “Confidential Information”); provided, however, that Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, may disclose Confidential Information (1) to its respective Affiliates, and to Representatives of Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, and its respective Affiliates, who need to know such information for the purpose of assisting Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Purchase Agreements so long as Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, causes its respective Affiliates and Representatives to treat the Confidential Information in a confidential manner and in accordance with the terms hereof (it being understood that Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, will be responsible for any breach of the terms of this Section 4.07 by any of its respective Affiliates or Representatives); (2) to a Governmental Authority if required by Law or legal process, or in connection with a judicial or administrative proceeding or examination (including by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena or similar process) as provided in Section 4.07(b); (3) to any Governmental Authority with regulatory or supervisory authority over such Party or its Affiliates; (4) to Financing Sources, subject to execution of a joinder to the Confidentiality Agreement reasonably acceptable to Seller; and (5) in a prospectus, prospectus supplement, other offering document or any public filing of Parent with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, in each case of the foregoing, solely to the extent necessary to present financial information that is required to be included therein pursuant to Regulation S-X or to satisfy public reporting obligations pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; provided that prior to the first public disclosure of any such information, Seller shall be provided a reasonable opportunity to review the inclusion of Seller or Bank Entity information and Purchaser will consider in good faith any comments from Seller in connection therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the term “Confidential Information” will not include information that (A) is or becomes available to Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, or its respective Affiliates or Representatives, if, to the Knowledge of Purchaser and Seller, as applicable, such other source (x) lawfully obtained possession of such information and (y) is not bound by a confidentiality obligation covering the relevant information or otherwise prohibited from disclosing the relevant information to Seller or Purchaser, as applicable or (B) is or becomes generally available to the public (other than as a result of a breach by Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, or its respective Affiliates or Representatives of this Section 4.07 or any other duty of confidentiality owed by it).

-54-

(b) If Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, or any of its respective Affiliates or Representatives is required to disclose any Confidential Information by Law or legal process, or in connection with a judicial, regulatory or administrative proceeding or examination (including by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigation demand or similar process), Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, will, and will cause its respective Affiliates and instruct its Representatives to, to the extent not prohibited by applicable Law (including Laws relating to the exchange of information), give the other Party prompt and prior written notice of such requirement. Such Party also agrees, to the extent not prohibited by applicable Law (including Laws relating to the exchange of information) and reasonably practicable under the circumstances, to, and to cause its Affiliates and direct its Representatives to, give the other Party, in advance of any such disclosure, a reasonable description of the Confidential Information that such Party or its respective Affiliates or Representatives intends to disclose (and, if applicable, the text of the disclosure language itself) and to reasonably cooperate with the other Party (at the other Party’s expense) to the extent that the other Party seeks to limit such disclosure, including, if requested in writing by such other Party, taking all reasonable steps necessary to limit such disclosure. If and to the extent that, in the absence of a protective order, other remedy, or the receipt of a waiver from the other Party after a request in writing therefor is made by Seller or Purchaser, as applicable (such request to be made as soon as reasonably practicable to allow the other Party a reasonable amount of time to respond), Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, or its respective Affiliates or Representatives are legally required, as advised by counsel in writing, to disclose Confidential Information, such Party will, and will cause its respective Affiliates and instruct its Representatives to, limit such disclosure to that which, as advised by counsel, is legally required and will use reasonable best efforts to obtain assurances that confidential treatment will be accorded to any Confidential Information that such Party or its respective Affiliates or Representatives is so required to disclose. Without limiting the foregoing, Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, will not oppose action by the other Party to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded any Confidential Information.

(c) Following the Closing, any confidentiality obligations of Purchaser, including pursuant to Section 4.07(a), and any related obligations of Purchaser under Section 4.07(b), with respect to Confidential Information of the Bank Entities, their respective businesses, the Purchased Assets and the Assumed Liabilities shall terminate and be of no further force and effect (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that Purchaser and its Affiliates are not acquiring and shall continue to keep confidential, in accordance with Section 4.07(a) and subject to Section 4.07(b), and not use for their own purposes, any information to the extent that it relates primarily to Seller or its Affiliates (other than the Bank Entities their respective businesses, the Purchased Assets or the Assumed Liabilities) that Purchaser or its Affiliates received in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including through the books and records of the Bank Entities).

(d) The provisions of this Section 4.07 will supersede any conflicting provision in the mutual confidentiality and non-disclosure agreement, dated January 29, 2019, between Seller and Parent (the “Confidentiality Agreement”) (but which will, for the avoidance of doubt, continue otherwise in full force and effect).

-55-

otherwise) deposits insured by the FDIC in Puerto Rico (clauses (x), (y) and (z), each a “Competitive Business”), or (ii) marketing any Competitive Business or soliciting any Persons in Puerto Rico for products or services offered by any Competitive Business (excluding global, national or regional marketing campaigns conducted by Seller and not specifically targeted in Puerto Rico or to Persons in Puerto Rico, including through television, radio or online marketing channels). Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this Section 4.08(b) will not prohibit or otherwise limit Seller or any of its Affiliates from (A) owning or holding a passive investment of up to 5% of the outstanding equity securities of any entity, including those engaged in Restricted Activities; (B) owning, holding or exercising, in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, rights of ownership with respect to any equity security in a fiduciary or agency capacity or otherwise for the benefit of a third Person; (C) continuing to engage in commercial banking or financial activities or other non-retail banking or financial activities with any Person (1) who is a current or future customer or client of Seller, (2) whose headquarters or principal place of business is not located in Puerto Rico and (3) with whom Seller has (or with respect to future customers, will have) a broader regional or global relationship outside of Puerto Rico; (D) selling any of its assets or businesses to any Person, including any Person that engages in Restricted Activities; (E) purchasing or acquiring (through merger, stock purchase or purchase of all or substantially all of the assets or otherwise) any Person engaged in Restricted Activities (an “Acquired Business”) so long as the aggregate consolidated revenues of the Restricted Activities do not exceed ten percent (10%) of such acquired Person’s total consolidated revenue in the last completed fiscal year or (F) continuing to operate any Acquired Business that Seller or any of its Affiliates purchased or acquired in accordance with clause (E) so long as, during the term of this Section 4.08(b), the aggregate consolidated revenues of the Restricted Activities of such Acquired Business do not exceed ten percent (10%) of such Acquired Business’s total consolidated revenue during any twelve (12) month period.

(c) From the date hereof and continuing through the Closing and thereafter for a period of two (2) years from the Closing Date, Purchaser shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, (1) directly or indirectly solicit for employment or hire any person who is, as of the date hereof or as of the Closing Date, an employee or officer of Seller or its Affiliates (other than the Bank Entities) and who Purchaser became aware of in connection with its consideration and consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, unless such person is a Business Employee or a USVI Branch Employee (as defined in the USVI Purchase Agreement) or (2) use any information of Seller and its Affiliates that (x) Purchaser knows is information that relates to customers solely of Seller and its Affiliates (other than any Bank Entity), other than any Branch Customer (as defined in the PR Purchase Agreement) or any customer of any of the Branches (as defined in the USVI Purchase Agreement) and (y) is retained by the Bank Entities to solicit, for banking, lending or other financial services, any such customer or client of Seller or any of its Affiliates described in clause (x) above following the Closing Date; provided that (A) nothing in this Section 4.08(c) shall prohibit Purchaser or any of its Affiliates from (i) making general solicitations for

-57-

employment not specifically targeted at employees of Seller or its Affiliates and hiring any such person who responds as a result of such general solicitations or (ii) soliciting for employment or hiring any person whose employment with Seller or any of its Affiliates has been terminated by Seller or such Affiliates (but not voluntarily by such Person) any time after the Closing, and (B) nothing in this Section 4.08(c) shall prohibit Purchaser or any of its Affiliates from (x) making general solicitations for the purchase of products or services offered by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates and doing business with any Person who either responds to such general solicitations or who contacts Purchaser or any of its Affiliates on his, her or its own initiative; or (y) soliciting for any products and services or providing any products and services to any Person who is, at any given time after the Closing, a customer of both Seller or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Purchaser or the Bank Entities, on the other hand.

(d) The Parties recognize that the territorial, time and scope limitations set forth in this Section 4.08 are reasonable and are properly required for the protection of the Parties’ legitimate interests in client and employee relationships, goodwill and Trade Secrets. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of the obligations under this Section 4.08 by (1) Seller or any of its Affiliates, Purchaser, in addition to all other available remedies, shall be entitled to seek specific performance to enforce the provisions of this Section 4.08 in accordance with Section 8.09 and (2) Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, Seller, in addition to all other available remedies, shall be entitled to seek specific performance to enforce the provisions of this Section 4.08 in accordance with Section 8.09.

If any material Credit Support Agreement (other than those listed in Section 4.09(b) of the Bank Disclosure Schedule) is identified after the date of this Agreement the Parties will work in good faith to agree on a transition plan (including the posting of collateral by Purchaser with respect to its obligations to Seller in the event of Purchaser’s default), and, if required, Purchaser shall find substitute credit support as soon as reasonably practicable and, in any event, within twelve (12) months after Closing.

(c) Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser to transfer to Purchaser all of Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Contract listed in Section 4.09(c) of the Bank Disclosure Schedules at the Closing.

4.10 Employees and Employee Benefits.

(a) Prior to the Closing, Seller shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, transfer the employment of each active Business Employee not already employed by the Bank Entities to one of the Bank Entities, other than those individuals set forth on Section 4.10(a)(i) of the Bank Disclosure Schedule. As of the Closing, the Bank Entities will have no employee who is not a Business Employee, other than those individuals set forth on Section 4.10(a)(ii) of the Bank Disclosure Schedule.

(b) Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement or as required by applicable non-U.S. Law, Purchaser shall not assume any obligations under or liabilities with respect to, or receive any right or interest in any trusts relating to, any assets of or any insurance, administration or other Contracts pertaining to any Business Benefit Plan sponsored or maintained by Seller or its Affiliates (excluding the Bank Entities) (“Seller Plans”). Seller and the applicable Seller Plans shall retain, promptly pay, and discharge all liabilities under or with respect to each Seller Plan in accordance with the terms thereof (including terms related to the amendment or termination thereof) and any other benefit or compensation plan, policy, program, agreement or arrangement at any time sponsored or maintained by Seller or any of its Affiliates (excluding than the Bank Entities), regardless of when such liabilities arise or are incurred or reported. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement or as required by applicable Law, Seller shall cause each Continuing Employee to cease participating in and accruing additional benefits or service credit under any Seller Plan, effective as of the Closing Date, and shall cause the Bank Entities to cease to be participating employers in any Seller Plan effective as of the Closing Date. Seller shall cause each participant in any Seller Plans who is not a Continuing Employee (or a beneficiary or dependent thereof) to cease participating in and accruing additional benefits or service credit under all Bank Benefit Plans except those set forth on Section 4.10(b) of the Bank Disclosure Schedules, effective as of the Closing Date.

-59-

(c) If requested by the Purchaser at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall cause Bank to take all actions necessary to terminate Bank’s tax-qualified defined contribution retirement plan (the “Bank Retirement Plan”), or cause such plan to be terminated, effective as of no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, and contingent upon the Closing, and provide that participants in the Bank Retirement Plan shall become fully vested in any unvested portion of his or her Bank Retirement Plan account as of the date such plan is terminated. Seller shall provide Purchaser with evidence reasonably acceptable to Purchaser that the Bank Retirement Plan has been terminated (effective no later than immediately prior to the Closing Date and contingent on the Closing). If the Bank Retirement Plan is terminated, then Purchaser shall designate a tax-qualified defined contribution retirement plan of the Purchaser (or an Affiliate of the Purchaser) with a qualified cash or deferred arrangement under Section 1081.01(a) of the PR Code that will cover Continuing Employees on and after the Closing Date (“Purchaser Retirement Plan”) and such Purchaser Retirement Plan shall permit each Continuing Employee to make rollover contributions (including rollover of loans), in the form of cash, notes (in the case of loans) or a combination thereof, in an amount equal to the full account balance distributed or distributable to such Continuing Employee from the Bank Retirement Plan to the Purchaser Retirement Plan, to the extent permitted under the PR Code.

(d) Purchaser acknowledges that, following the Closing, certain Continuing Employees will continue to hold equity awards in Seller or an Affiliate of Seller (other than the Bank Entities) (the “Participants”), which will continue to vest in accordance with their terms contingent upon the holder’s continued employment with the Bank Entities (or any successor entity thereto). Purchaser will timely notify Seller when a Participant’s employment with the Bank Entities terminates. Purchaser and Seller will cooperate prior to the Closing to identify a process for timely reporting to the appropriate taxing authorities any income recognizable by any such Participant associated with the vesting, transfer or disposition of such Participant’s equity awards, and timely withhold and remit any associated income or employment taxes (including the employer portion of any associated payroll taxes). Purchaser shall be fully indemnified by Seller for any taxes, fees, costs, penalties, interest or other amounts incurred by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including the Bank Entities) related to the Seller’s equity awards.

(e) Purchaser agrees that each Business Employee of the Bank Entities at the Closing who continues to remain employed with the Bank Entities (or any successor entity thereto) immediately following the Closing (each, a “Continuing Employee”) shall, during the period commencing at the Closing Date and ending on the first (1^st) anniversary of the Closing Date, be provided during the term of their employment with the Bank Entities

-60-

(or any successor entity thereto) with (1) base salary or base wage and target annual cash bonus opportunities that are, in each case, no less favorable than base salary/wage and target annual cash bonus opportunities provided to each such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date by the Bank Entities, and (2) severance benefits and retirement, health and welfare benefits (excluding any equity or equity-based plans, defined benefit plans and post-retirement health and welfare benefit plans) that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to the severance benefits and retirement, health and welfare benefits (excluding any equity or equity-based plans, defined benefit plans and post-retirement health and welfare benefit plans) provided to the Continuing Employees immediately prior to the Closing Date by the Bank Entities.

(f) The rejection by any Business Employee of the automatic transfer of employment to Purchaser by virtue of the Stock Sale shall be deemed a voluntary resignation. Such voluntary resignation will not entitle the Business Employee to severance or termination-related payments, benefits or notices from the Bank Entities, the Purchaser or any Affiliate of Purchaser, including but not limited to, statutory severance or any payments or benefits under any compensation plans, programs, agreements or arrangements that may be established or maintained by Purchaser or required to be paid under applicable Law. If the transfer of an individual to an entity other than the Bank Entities or the termination of any individual set forth in Section 4.10(a)(ii) of the Bank Disclosure Schedules entitles such individual to any notice, termination or severance payments under the existing terms of an applicable Business Benefit Plan or as required by U.S. or non-U.S. Law, then Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and its Affiliates for any such notice, termination and severance payments.

(g) Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to (1) cause any eligibility waiting periods under any group health plans of Purchaser or its Affiliates (collectively, “New Plans”) to be waived with respect to the Continuing Employees and their eligible dependents, to the extent coverage under group health plan is replacing comparable coverage under a Business Benefit Plan in which such Continuing Employee participated immediately before the Closing Date (collectively, “Old Plans”), (2) cause any pre-existing conditions, exclusions or limitations under any New Plans to be waived with respect to the Continuing Employees and their eligible dependents, to the extent such conditions were inapplicable or waived under the comparable Old Plans in which such Continuing Employee participated immediately prior to the Closing Date, (3) give each Continuing Employee credit for the plan year of any New Plan in which the Closing occurs towards applicable deductibles and annual out-of-pocket limits under such New Plan in which the Continuing Employee participates for any eligible medical expenses incurred prior to the Closing during the plan year of the Old Plan in which the Closing occurs for which payment has been made, as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such New Plan, and (4) give each Continuing Employee service credit for such Continuing Employee’s employment with the Bank Entities and their Affiliates for purposes of vesting, benefit accrual and eligibility to participate under each applicable benefit plan of Purchaser and its Affiliates (including vacation accrual and severance benefit

-61-

determinations), as if such service had been performed with Purchaser or the applicable Affiliate, except under defined benefit pension plans, under retiree medical plans, for the purposes of qualifying for subsidized early retirement benefits or to the extent it would result in a duplication of benefits. Except as otherwise prohibited by applicable Law, Purchaser shall credit, and every Continuing Employee shall retain accrued but unused time-off entitlements, including vacation and sick leave balances, as applicable, accrued under Seller’s policies and programs immediately prior to the Closing Date and /or accrued balances of paid time-off or similar programs with Seller as of the Closing Date, which such accruals shall be provided to Purchaser no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date.

(h) Prior to the Closing, before making any written or oral communications to the directors, officers or employees of the Bank Entities pertaining to compensation or benefit matters that are affected by the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Purchaser shall provide Seller with a copy of the intended communication, Seller shall have a reasonable period of time to review and comment on the communication, and Purchaser shall consider any such comments in good faith.

(i) Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to (1) be treated as an amendment of any particular Business Benefit Plan, (2) prevent Purchaser, the Bank Entities or any of their Affiliates from amending or terminating any of their benefit plans or, after the Closing, any Bank Benefit Plan in accordance with their terms, (3) prevent Purchaser, the Bank Entities or any of their Affiliates, after the Closing, from terminating the employment of any Continuing Employee, or (4) create any third-party beneficiary rights in any employee of the Bank Entities, any beneficiary or dependent thereof, or any collective bargaining representative thereof, with respect to the compensation, terms and conditions of employment and/or benefits that may be provided to any Continuing Employee by Purchaser, the Bank Entities or any of their Affiliates or under any benefit plan which Purchaser, the Bank Entities or any of their Affiliates may maintain. For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser shall be responsible for any labor and employment-related liability related to the post-Closing employment of the Business Employees, including any post-Closing termination of such employees.

(j) Seller and Purchaser hereby acknowledge and agree to the covenants and agreements set forth in Section 4.10(j)-(p) of the Bank Disclosure Schedules.

4.11 Further Assurances. Before, at and after the Closing, consistent with the terms and conditions hereof, Seller and Purchaser shall and shall cause each of their respective subsidiaries to, and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause their Affiliates to, promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver such instruments, certificates and other documents and take such other action as a Party may reasonably require in order to carry out any of the transactions contemplated hereby. Following the Closing, the Parties shall cooperate with one another to prepare and file all documents and forms and amendments thereto as may be required by applicable Law with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

-62-

4.12 Tax Matters.

(a) Returns and Reports.

(1) Seller shall file or cause to be filed when due (taking into account all extensions properly obtained) all Tax Returns with respect to the Bank Entities that are required to be filed prior to the Closing Date.

(2) Following Closing, Purchaser shall file or cause to be filed when due all Tax Returns that are required to be filed by or with respect to the Bank Entities that are not Tax Returns that Seller is required to file or cause to be filed pursuant to Section 4.12(a)(1), and Purchaser shall remit or cause to be remitted any Taxes due in respect of such Tax Returns. Except for any (i) Closing Agreement Purchaser Taxes or (ii) Tax accruals on income derived in the ordinary course of business between the date hereof and the Closing Date (provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, Tax accruals on income derived in the ordinary course of business will not include (A) any Tax accruals attributable to the termination of the Shared-Loss Agreements or any other loss sharing agreement, (B) any Tax accruals attributable to a disposition of assets to fund any Pre-Closing Dividends and (C) any Tax accruals attributable to the termination or settlement of the Closing Agreements), Seller shall pay Purchaser the portion of Taxes shown to be due on a Tax Return of the Purchaser or the Bank Entities which are allocable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period or the pre-Closing portion of a Straddle Period and attributable to a Bank Entity, within fifteen (15) days of the due date for such Taxes; provided, however, that in computing the amount of Taxes (if any) for which Seller is responsible pursuant to the foregoing, Seller shall be entitled to include in the pre-Closing portion of the relevant Straddle Period all Tax benefits relating to Transaction Deductions and any deductions, credits and any other tax attributes of the Bank Entities from Tax periods (or portions thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date (other than any such deductions, credits or other tax attributes either (i) resulting from Transaction Expenses not paid in accordance with Section 4.22 or (ii) accrued or otherwise reflected as Tax receivables or prepaid Taxes on the Financial Statements), to the extent that such Tax benefits or deductions, credits or other tax attributes properly reduced Taxes reflected on the Tax Return for such Straddle Period. Purchaser shall provide Seller with a copy of a draft of each Straddle Period Tax Return for its review and comment (i) at least forty-five (45) days prior to the filing of such Tax Return or (ii) in the case of a Tax Return that is required to be filed within twenty (20) days of the Closing Date, at least 10 days prior to the date such Tax Return is required to be filed; provided that in the case of a Tax Return that is required to be filed within ten (10) days of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall afford Seller a reasonable opportunity to review such Straddle Period Tax Return prior to filing such Tax

-63-

Return. If Seller and Purchaser disagree as to any item reflected on any Straddle Period Tax Return, such items will be determined by a nationally recognized independent accounting firm selected by mutual agreement of Seller and Purchaser. For purposes of this Agreement, in the case of any Straddle Period, (A) the amount of ad valorem (real property and personal property) Taxes and other Taxes not described in clause (B) below of the Bank Entities for the portion of such Straddle Period that ends on the Closing Date shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the portion of such Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period, and (B) the amount of any sales or use Taxes, value-added Taxes, employment related Taxes, withholding Taxes and Taxes based on or measured by income, receipts or profits of the Bank Entities for the portion of a Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books on the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree that Closing Agreement Purchaser Taxes are Taxes allocable to the Post-Closing Tax Period. Purchaser shall be responsible for any Closing Agreement Purchaser Taxes regardless of when such Taxes arise or are reflected on a Tax Return. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree that Closing Agreement Purchaser Taxes shall not include any Taxes to the extent resulting from or attributable to (i) the settlement of the Closing Agreements at the request of Seller or Bank, or (ii) any action or inaction by Seller or its Affiliates prior to March 1, 2019.

(3) Purchaser shall cause the Bank Entities to promptly furnish information to Seller as reasonably requested by Seller to allow Seller to satisfy its obligations under this Section 4.12(a).

(b) Post-Closing Refunds; Certain Obligations of Purchaser.

(1) Except for any Closing Agreement Refunds, Purchaser shall pay Seller any Tax refund or credit in lieu of a refund (including any interest paid or credited by a taxing authority with respect thereto) relating to Taxes in respect of the Bank Entities for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or of Pre-Closing Taxes (as defined in each of the Purchase Agreements) within fifteen (15) days of the receipt of such refund; provided, however, that in computing the amount of refunds (if any) which Purchaser shall pay pursuant to the foregoing, Purchaser shall be entitled to exclude any refund or credit in lieu of a refund that is (i) attributable to, or resulting from, a carryback or other use of any item of loss, deduction, credit or other similar item arising in a taxable period after the Closing Date or (ii) accrued or otherwise reflected as Tax receivables or prepaid Taxes on the Financial Statements. Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Bank Entities or other relevant entity to file for and obtain the receipt of any refund to which Seller is entitled under this Section 4.12(b)(1). Purchaser shall promptly notify Seller in writing of the receipt or availability of any such Tax refund and shall keep Seller informed of the status of any such Tax refund. If any Tax refund or credit in

-64-

lieu of a refund (including any interest paid or credited by a taxing authority with respect thereto) paid over to Seller pursuant to this Section 4.12(b)(1) is subsequently denied, disallowed or reduced, Seller shall promptly repay the amount so denied, reduced or disallowed to Purchaser. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree that Closing Agreement Refunds are refunds allocable to the Post-Closing Tax Period. Purchaser shall be entitled to any Closing Agreement Refunds regardless of when such refunds arise.

(2) Without the prior written consent of Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), Purchaser shall not, and shall not cause or permit the Bank Entities or any of their other Affiliates to (A) amend any Tax Return filed with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or the pre-Closing portion of a Straddle Period or (B) make any Tax election that would have retroactive effect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or the pre-Closing portion of a Straddle Period.

(1) assist (and cause their respective Affiliates to assist) the other Party in preparing any Tax Returns of the Bank Entities;

(2) cooperate fully in preparing for any audit of, or dispute with, any taxing authority regarding, any Tax Return of the Bank Entities;

(3) make available to the other Party and to any taxing authority as reasonably requested all information, records and documents relating to Taxes of the Bank Entities;

(4) provide timely notice to the other Party in writing of any pending or threatened tax audit or assessment of the Bank Entities for Taxes for which the other Party may have a liability; and

(5) furnish the other Party with copies of all correspondence received from any taxing authority in connection with any audit or information request with respect to the Bank Entities for Taxes for which the other Party may have a liability.

(d) Contest Provisions.

(1) Subject to the next sentence, with respect to any Tax Contest (except for any Tax Contests governed by Section 4.25 and Section 4.25 of the Bank Disclosure Schedules) that relates solely to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, Seller shall control, at its own expense, proceedings taken in connection with such Tax Contest (including selection of counsel) and, without limiting the foregoing, may in its sole discretion pursue or forego

-65-

any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with any taxing authority with respect thereto and may, at its own expense and in its sole discretion, either pay the Tax and xxx for a refund where applicable Law permits such refund suits or contest the Tax Contest in any permissible manner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Tax Contest described in the preceding sentence, Seller shall not (i) settle, compromise or abandon any such Tax Contest without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, to the extent that an adverse determination in such Tax Contest would result in a material Tax liability of Purchaser, the Bank Entities or any of their Affiliates in a Tax period that ends after the Closing, or could resolve an issue that could reasonably be expected to recur in a subsequent period, the resolution of which could bind or reasonably prejudice the resolution of such issue in any subsequent period or (ii) conduct any such Tax Contest in a manner that could result in material disruptions for Purchaser or any Bank Entity (for example, by contesting a Tax prior to payment in a manner that prevents Purchaser or any Bank Entity from receiving withholding clearance certificates or other documentation from an applicable taxing authority that are necessary to conduct its operations or avoid the imposition or collection of material Taxes on an ongoing basis).

(2) Purchaser shall have the right to control the conduct of any Tax Contest that relates to a Straddle Period (except for any Tax Contests governed by Section 4.25 and Section 4.25 of the Bank Disclosure Schedules) so long as the matter does not relate to federal Taxes or state, local or foreign income Taxes applicable to the Bank Entities or Seller (or Affiliate) for any period prior to the Closing Date. If a Tax Contest (except for any Tax Contests governed by Section 4.25 and Section 4.25 of the Bank Disclosure Schedules) that relates to a Straddle Period does relate to federal Taxes or state, local or foreign income Taxes applicable to the Bank Entities or Seller, the Controlling Party shall have the right and obligation to conduct, at its own expense, such Tax Contest, provided that (i) the Controlling Party shall provide the Non-Controlling Party with a timely and reasonably detailed account of the status of such Tax Contest, (ii) the Controlling Party shall consult with the Non-Controlling Party before taking any significant action in connection with such Tax Contest, (iii) the Controlling Party shall consult with the Non-Controlling Party and offer the Non-Controlling Party an opportunity to comment before submitting any written materials prepared or furnished in connection with such Tax Contest, (iv) the Non-Controlling Party shall be entitled to participate in such Tax Contest, (v) the Controlling Party shall not settle, compromise, or abandon any such Tax Contest without obtaining the prior written consent of the Non-Controlling Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and (vi) the Controlling Party shall not conduct any such Tax Contest in a manner that could result in material disruptions for Purchaser or any Bank Entity (for example, by contesting a Tax prior to payment in a manner that prevents Purchaser or any Bank Entity from receiving withholding clearance certificates or other documentation from an applicable Taxing authority

-66-

that are necessary to conduct its operations or avoid the imposition or collection of material Taxes on an ongoing basis). For purposes of this paragraph, “Controlling Party” shall mean Seller, unless Purchaser is reasonably expected to bear the materially greater Tax liability in connection with a Tax Contest described in this paragraph, in which case Purchaser shall be the Controlling Party; and “Non-Controlling Party” shall mean whichever Party is not the Controlling Party with respect to such Tax Contest.

(3) The failure of any Party to give any notice required under Section 4.12(c)(4) shall not relieve the other Party of any of its obligations under this Section 4.12 except to the extent that the other Party is materially prejudiced by such failure.

(e) Transfer Taxes. Purchaser and Seller shall each be liable for 50% of any transfer, stamp, documentary, registration, sales, use tax and other similar Taxes and any conveyance fee, recording charge and other fees and charges (together with any penalties and interest, “Transfer Taxes”) incurred as a result of the transfers effected pursuant to this Agreement.

(f) Restrictive Covenants. The restrictive covenants contained in Section 4.08 (the “Restrictive Covenants”) are being granted to maintain and preserve the fair market value of the Shares transferred by Seller to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement. Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that: (i) no proceeds shall be received or receivable by Seller or any other Person for granting the Restrictive Covenants and (ii) the Restrictive Covenants are integral to this Agreement.

4.13 Pre-Closing Dividends. Prior to or at the Closing, Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause Bank to make (1) the Pre-Closing Primary Dividend; and (2) secondarily to the Pre-Closing Primary Dividend, one or more dividends or distributions to Seller in an aggregate amount not to exceed $125,000,000.00 (the “Pre-Closing Secondary Dividend” and together with the Pre-Closing Primary Dividend, the “Pre-Closing Dividends”) and to obtain the Requisite Regulatory Approvals set forth in Section 5.02(d) of the Bank Disclosure Schedules. In connection with the Pre-Closing Primary Dividend, Bank will redeem any of the shares of Second Preferred Stock that are issued and outstanding.

4.14 Transition Services Agreement.

(a) Following the date of this Agreement, Seller and Purchaser will negotiate in good faith a transition services agreement (the “Transition Services Agreement”) based on the terms set forth in Exhibit 1. Prior to or at the Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall enter into the Transition Services Agreement. Pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement, commencing at the Closing, Seller shall provide all services and applications that Seller or any of its Affiliates provided to the Bank Entities in the twelve (12)-month period prior to the Closing Date, except for those services (i) that are

-67-

expressly identified on Section 4.14 of the Bank Disclosure Schedules or (ii) which Purchaser notifies Seller in writing prior to the Closing Date that it does not require (referred to as Excluded Services in the Transition Services Agreement), provided, that, to the extent Seller’s ability to provide any other services is dependent on the continuation of such services that Purchaser notifies Seller it does not require, and such dependency has been notified to Purchaser in writing reasonably promptly after receiving such notice from Purchaser that it does not require such services, then such services shall not be considered Excluded Services unless Seller also identifies such services as Excluded Services contemporaneously. Seller further agrees to provide such information and assistance as is reasonably necessary to facilitate Purchaser’s review and assessment of such services. The Parties agree to take such actions contemplated by the following sections of Transition Services Agreement term sheet that are expressly required prior to the Closing Date: “Use of Third-Party Providers or Resources” and “Alternative Arrangements”. Any modifications of such provisions reflected in the Transition Services Agreement shall be deemed effective as the date of this Agreement for purposes of this Section 4.14. For purposes of this Section 4.14, “Bank Entities” shall be deemed to include the PR Branch and the Branches.

(b) The Parties will in good faith develop and agree on a transition plan (the “Transition Plan”) within sixty (60) days after date of this Agreement. The Transition Plan will consist of a detailed plan for (i) transitioning Bank and the Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities to Purchaser, including the specific tasks, activities, and projects, and the timing for each of the foregoing, to be completed by each Party prior to the Closing in order to complete such transition in an orderly and efficient manner, as well as such plans and actions as may be required to prepare for the provision of services (as defined in the Transition Services Agreement) by Seller to Purchaser under the Transition Services Agreement); and (ii) identifying and completing any activities necessary for Seller to separate or segregate Bank and the Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities from Seller and Seller’s systems. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Party will appoint three (iii) initial representatives to serve on a transition plan committee (the “Transition Plan Committee”) that will be ultimately responsible for oversight, coordination and implementation of the Transition Plan (with such governance functions as may be agreed between the Parties). Each Party shall be entitled to remove and replace representatives on the Transition Plan Committee as it deems appropriate. The Transition Plan will also identify the responsibility of each of the Parties for any costs associated with the implementation of the Transition Plan (to the extent not already specified in the Transition Services Agreement term sheet set forth in Exhibit 1, subject to the general principle that costs associated with (x) Seller’s internal separation of Bank and Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities, including the delivery of data to Purchaser in formats currently maintained by Seller, will be at Seller’s cost and (y) modifications to Seller’s systems, processes and facilities, data mapping, development and other modifications to Seller’s or Bank’s data requested by Purchaser in order to be received by Purchaser will be at Purchaser’s cost.

(b) Except as otherwise expressly agreed in writing between the Parties, to the extent that any of the know-how, trade secrets, methods or processes owned by Seller or any Affiliate of Seller (other than the Bank Entities) immediately after the Closing was used by any Bank Entity as of the Closing, but excluding (i) any Trademarks; (ii) Intellectual Property subject to the Transition Services Agreement; (iii) Intellectual Property related to the Bank Entities’ general business infrastructure and operations (e.g., Intellectual Property related to human resources, internal accounts payable, policies and procedures, handbooks, internal guidelines, management policies, internal management governance and internal treasury services and similar Intellectual Property); and (iv) Excluded Books and Records (such know-how, trade secrets, methods and processes, excluding the exclusions set forth in (i)-(iv), “Background IP”), Seller and its Affiliates hereby grant to the Bank Entities, effective as of the Closing, a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable (other than to Purchaser’s Affiliates and service providers, in each case, acting in their capacity as such), perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid-up right and license in, to and under such Background IP, solely to continue to conduct the businesses of the Bank Entities, including the right to (A) make, have made, use, import, offer for sale, lease, sell and/or otherwise transfer or dispose of any products or services for use in its and its Affiliates’ business, and (B) use, reproduce, display (publicly or otherwise), perform, transmit, distribute, modify, prepare derivative works based on and otherwise exploit any and all of such Intellectual Property.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Purchaser, for

-69-

itself and its Affiliates, acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser is not purchasing, acquiring or otherwise obtaining ownership in or to any of the Trademarks set forth in Section 4.15(c) of the Bank Disclosure Schedules or any derivative thereof, or any other Trademark incorporating the word “Scotiabank” or “Scotia” or “The Bank of Nova Scotia” (collectively, the “Seller Marks”), and, except as provided in Section 4.15(c), following the Closing, neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates (including the Bank Entities) shall (1) use, display, apply for or register in any jurisdiction any of the Seller Marks or any other Trademarks that are confusingly similar thereto, in each case except as expressly permitted under this Section 4.15 or as permitted by applicable Law, or (2) contest or deny the validity or enforceability of, seek to cancel, or contest Seller or its Affiliates’ interest or rights in, any of the Seller Marks.

(c) Following the Closing, Seller grants Purchaser a limited, royalty-free, non-sublicensable, non-transferrable, non-exclusive right and license for the Bank Entities to use and display the Seller Marks, solely in connection with the conduct of the business of the Bank Entities in a substantially similar manner as used and displayed by the Bank Entities immediately prior to the Closing, (1) in respect of exterior signage, for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days and (2) for all other usage, for a period not to exceed ninety (90) days. For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser’s right and license under the Seller Marks shall automatically expire upon the expiration of such periods, and Purchaser and its subsidiaries shall cease all customer- or public-facing use and display of the Seller Marks.

Neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall use or display any Seller Marks (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include the use of Seller Marks for marketing or other mailings) except as expressly permitted under this Agreement.

(d) For purposes of Section 4.15(b), (c) and (d), “Bank Entities” shall be deemed to include the PR Branch and the Branches.

Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that following the Closing Date, the Bank Entities will not be insured under any insurance policy of Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than those policies held directly by the Bank Entities). Purchaser will not, and will cause the Bank Entities and any other of its Affiliates not to, make or attempt to make any claim under any insurance policy of Seller or its Affiliates that is not held directly by the Bank Entities whether in respect of matters relating to the period before or after the Closing. Following the Closing, neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates will be obligated to make any claim under any insurance policy on behalf of the Bank Entities, Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates.

Best rating as the Bank Entities’ current primary directors’ and officers’ liability and fiduciary liability insurer; provided, however, that in complying with its obligations pursuant to this Section 4.17(d), Purchaser shall not be required to expend annually in the aggregate an amount in excess of the amount set forth in Section 4.17(d) of the Bank Disclosure Schedules (the “Purchaser Premium Cap”) and, if Purchaser cannot obtain the insurance coverage required under this Section 4.17(d) without paying in excess of the Purchaser Premium Cap, Purchaser

-71-

shall purchase such insurance with the maximum coverage reasonably available for the Purchaser Premium Cap; provided, further, this Section 4.17(d) may be satisfied if Purchaser obtains one or more prepaid policies (i.e., “tail coverage”) which, in the aggregate, provide the Indemnified D&Os with the coverage described in this Section 4.17(d) for an aggregate period of not less than six (6) years following the Closing with respect to claims arising from acts or omissions that occurred on or prior to the Closing Date.

(e) In the event that, after the Closing, other than pursuant to the Bank Merger Agreement, Purchaser, Bank or any of their respective successors or assigns (1) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving entity or entity of such consolidation or merger or (2) transfers or conveys all or a substantial portion of its properties and other assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, Purchaser shall, or shall cause Bank, as applicable, to make proper provision so that such successors and assigns expressly assume the obligations set forth in this Section 4.17.

(f) The provisions of this Section 4.17 are intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each Indemnified D&O, his or her heirs and his or her representatives and are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such person may have from the Bank Entities or any other person by contract or otherwise except as expressly provided herein.

Effective at the Closing, (a) Seller, on behalf of itself and its post-Closing Affiliates (and each of its and their respective heirs, successors and assigns), hereby releases, remises and forever discharges any and all rights, claims and Losses of any type that it or any of its Affiliates has had, now has or might now or hereafter have against the Bank Entities and each of their respective individual, joint or mutual, past, present and future Representatives, Affiliates, stockholders, successors and assigns (each, a “Purchaser Releasee”) and (b) Purchaser, solely on behalf of the Bank Entities and itself as a successor to Bank or any Affiliate that is a successor to Subsidiary (and each of its and their respective heirs, successors and assigns) following the Closing hereby releases, remises and forever discharges any and all rights, claims and Losses of any type that it has had, now has or might now or hereafter have against Seller, and each of their respective individual, joint or mutual, past, present and future Representatives, Affiliates, stockholders, successors and assigns (each, a “Seller Releasee”), in each case of (a) and (b), in respect of, relating to or arising in connection with the Bank Entities and in respect of facts, circumstances or occurrences prior to the Closing, except, in each case, for (1) rights, claims and Losses arising under the Transaction Documents, (2) in the case of Persons who are or were directors, officers or employees of the Bank Entities, rights under indemnification provisions of the articles of incorporation or the bylaws of the Bank Entities, as applicable, and rights under any employment, stock option, bonus or other employment or compensation agreements or plans and (3) rights, claims and Losses of Seller against any individual who was a director, officer or employee of the Bank Entities prior to the Closing and who is not continuing as a director, officer or employee of Purchaser or any

The Parties acknowledge that this Section 4.18 is not an admission of liability or of the accuracy of any alleged fact or claim. The Parties expressly agree that this Section 4.18 shall not be construed as an admission in any proceeding as evidence of or an admission by any Party of any violation or wrongdoing. Without limiting the effectiveness of the foregoing, upon written request from any Purchaser Releasee or Seller Releasee made promptly after the Closing, as applicable, Seller or Purchaser shall confirm (or cause their applicable controlled Affiliates to confirm) in writing the scope of the foregoing release.

The Guarantee is a full, unconditional, irrevocable, absolute and continuing guaranty of performance and payment when due and not merely of collection, and Parent shall remain liable for the Guaranteed Obligations hereunder and under the Purchase Agreements until the performance or payment, as the case may be, of the Guaranteed Obligations. Seller shall not be obligated to file any claim relating to the Guaranteed Obligations in the event that Purchaser becomes subject to an insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding, and the failure of Seller to so file shall not affect Parent’s obligations hereunder. In the event that any payment to Seller or other performance in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations must be returned or is rescinded, for any reason whatsoever, Parent shall remain liable hereunder with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations as if such payment or performance had not been returned or rescinded. Parent’s obligations hereunder may not be revoked or terminated and shall remain in full force and effect and shall be binding on Parent, its successors and permitted assigns until the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid and performed in full.

(c) Parent agrees that its obligations hereunder shall not be discharged, released, diminished or impaired, in whole or in part, by any set-off, counterclaim, defense, act or occurrence which Parent may have against Seller as a result of or arising out of this Agreement or the Purchase Agreements or any other transaction. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.19, Parent shall have the rights, remedies and legal or equitable defenses that are available to Purchaser under the terms of this Agreement, the Purchase Agreements or applicable Law with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations.

4.20 Seller Confidentiality Agreements .

6.04 Matters Involving Third Parties Claims.

(a) Except with respect to Tax Contests, which are covered by Section 4.12(d), each of Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be, making a claim for indemnification under this Article VI (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give notice to the Party that may be required to provide indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly, but not later than ten (10) Business Days, after such Indemnified Party (1) receives written notice of any claim, action, suit, proceeding or demand asserted by any Person who is not a Party hereto (or a successor to a Party hereto) to this Agreement or (2) subject to Section 6.06, has actual knowledge of any other claim, event or matter as to which indemnity may be sought (a “Third-Party Claim”), in either of case (1) or (2), setting forth, to the extent practicable under the circumstances, in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances pertaining thereto, including the amount or an estimate of the amount of damages sought to the extent then ascertainable, after reasonable inquiry, by the Indemnified Party, and the basis for the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification; it being understood that the failure by an Indemnified Party to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent (and only to the extent) that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, deliver to the Indemnifying Party copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the Third-Party Claim.

(b) Except with respect to Tax Contests, which are covered by Section 4.12(d), the Indemnifying Party will have the right at any time, by delivering written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume and thereafter (at the sole expense of the Indemnifying Party unless expressly provided otherwise in this Section 6.04(b)) conduct the defense of the Third-Party Claim in its sole discretion with counsel of its choice; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), unless the judgment or proposed settlement (1) involves only the payment of money damages against which the Indemnified Party is indemnified by the Indemnifying Party, (2) does not impose an injunction or other equitable relief upon the Indemnified Party (unless such relief is ministerial in nature) and (3) does not involve a finding or admission of any violation of Law or other wrongdoing by the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of a

-85-

Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will have the right, but not the obligation, to participate in any such defense and to employ separate counsel of its choosing at its own expense (the cost of which, for the avoidance of doubt, will not be indemnifiable Losses); provided that if the Indemnified Party is advised in writing by outside counsel that an actual or potential conflict of interest (including one or more legal defenses or counterclaims being available to such Indemnified Party or other Indemnified Parties which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party) would make it inappropriate under applicable ethical rules for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party with respect to the Third-Party Claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable and documented fees, costs and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party. Provided that an Indemnified Party has given the Indemnifying Party notice of a Third-Party Claim as required hereunder, if the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of the Third-Party Claim, (x) the Indemnified Party shall defend against the Third-Party Claim, (y) the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable and documented fees, costs and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party during any period in which the Indemnifying Party has not elected to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim and (z) the Indemnifying Party shall be bound by any final determination with respect to such Third-Party Claim prior to its assumption; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may not agree to any settlement without the consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Each Party shall reasonably cooperate with the other Party by providing records and information on a timely basis that are reasonably relevant to any Third-Party Claim and shall in good faith consult with counsel for the other Party; provided that no Party shall be required to take any such action to the extent doing so would jeopardize any applicable attorney-client or work product privileges.

(c) If Purchaser is the Indemnified Party, Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to seek recovery under all Bank Insurance Policies that are in effect during any period of coverage prepaid by Bank prior to Closing covering the applicable Loss.

(d) The amount of any Losses of any Indemnified Party under this Article VI shall be reduced by the amount, if any, (1) received by the Indemnified Party from any third Person (including, without limitation, any insurance company or other insurance provider (such amount being referred to herein as a “Third-Party Reimbursement”)), in respect of the Losses suffered thereby net of all documented costs and expenses reasonably incurred by the Indemnified Party in recovering such Third-Party Reimbursement and (2) of any reduction in Taxes actually realized by the Indemnified Party, in the taxable year in which such Loss is paid. If, after receipt by an Indemnified Party of any indemnification payment hereunder, such Person receives a Third-Party Reimbursement in respect of the same Losses (whether in whole or in part) for which indemnification was made and such Third-Party Reimbursement was not taken into account in assessing the amount of indemnification, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly turn over all or the relevant portion of such Third-Party Reimbursement (net of all documented costs and expenses reasonably incurred by the Indemnified Party in recovering such Third-Party Reimbursement) to the Indemnifying Party up to the amount of the indemnification paid pursuant hereto.

-86-

6.05 Damages.For the avoidance of doubt, in calculating any Losses or alleged Losses with respect to any item or matter, an Indemnified Party will not be entitled to include in Losses any amount for which there was a reserve on Bank’s consolidated balance sheet of December 31, 2018 that is directly attributable to such item or matter. No Party shall be liable under this Agreement or the Purchase Agreements for (1) any consequential damages unless such damages were reasonably foreseeable or (2) without limiting the foregoing, any punitive, special, incidental, exemplary or indirect damages, or any lost revenue, lost profits, loss of business reputation or loss of opportunity, or for any damages that are speculative or not reasonably determinable, except, in each case of clauses (1) and (2), to the extent such Losses are awarded by a Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction in connection with a Third-Party Claim. Any Indemnified Party that becomes aware of a Loss for which it seeks indemnification under this Article VI shall be required to mitigate the Loss as and to the extent required under applicable Law.

6.06 Direct Claims. If an Indemnified Party has a claim against an Indemnifying Party under this Agreement that does not involve a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall deliver notice of such a claim with reasonable promptness to the Indemnifying Party. The failure by an Indemnified Party to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent (and only to the extent) that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure.

6.07 No Contribution; Termination of Indemnification; Exclusive Remedy; No Double Recovery.

(a) From and after the Closing, neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall have or make any claim for indemnification, contribution, set off or similar rights of recovery from Bank, Subsidiary or any of their respective officers, directors or employees with respect to any Losses indemnifiable by Seller hereunder, including on the basis of any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.02 or any representation or warranty set forth in Section 5.1 of the Purchase Agreements, or any breach by, default or non-performance by, Seller under this Agreement occurring prior to the Closing.

(b) (1) With respect to the representations and warranties made by any Party in Article III or the Purchase Agreements that survive the Closing Date, the PR Closing Date or the USVI Closing Date, as applicable, until the first (1^st) anniversary thereof pursuant to Section 6.01, the obligation to indemnify and hold harmless any Indemnified Party will terminate on the first (1^st) anniversary of the Closing, the PR Closing or the USVI Closing, as applicable; (2) with respect to all other representations and warranties made by any Party in Article III or the Purchase Agreements, the

-87-

obligation to indemnify and hold harmless any Indemnified Party will terminate upon the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, plus sixty (60) days in the case of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.02(q), Section 5.1(u) of the USVI Purchase Agreement and Section 5.1(m) of the PR Purchase Agreement; and (3) with respect to any other obligation to indemnify or hold harmless any Indemnified Party (other than pursuant to Sections 6.02(a)(4), 6.02(c) (including the matters set forth on Section 6.02(c) of the Bank Disclosure Schedules), 6.03(a)(2) and 6.03(a)(4), which shall survive until the relevant statute of limitations plus sixty (60) days), such obligation will terminate on the fifth (5^th) anniversary of the Closing Date, the PR Closing Date or the USVI Closing Date, as applicable; provided, however, that in the case of clauses (1), (2) and (3), such obligations to indemnify and hold harmless will not terminate with respect to any item as to which the Indemnified Party shall have, before the expiration, previously made a claim by delivering a notice of such claim pursuant to, and in accordance with the terms of, Section 4.12(c)(4) or this Article VI.

(c) This Article VI (i) with respect to this Agreement will not be effective until after the Closing, (ii) with respect to the PR Purchase Agreement will not become effective until after the PR Closing and (iii) with respect to the USVI Purchase Agreement will not become effective until after the USVI Closing.

(d) From and after the Closing, Purchaser and Seller hereby acknowledge and agree that, except in the case of fraud, their respective sole and exclusive remedy for monetary damages with respect to any and all claims against any other Party and any indemnification for breach of any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or the Purchase Agreements, or in connection with this Agreement or the Purchase Agreements, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions contained in this Article VI and shall be in lieu of any rights the Parties may have under Law with respect to monetary damages.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the rights of any Indemnified Party under this Article VI shall not be affected by any knowledge acquired, at any time; provided, however, that no Indemnifying Party shall be liable in respect of any claim under Sections 6.02(a)(1), 6.02(a)(2), 6.02(a)(3), 6.03(a)(1) or 6.03(a)(3), as applicable, to the extent the facts, matters or circumstances giving rise to such claim (i) were known by the Indemnified Party prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Purchase Agreements or (ii) became known by the Indemnified Party after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Purchase Agreements but prior to Closing, the PR Closing or the USVI Closing, as applicable, if (x) such facts, matters or circumstances would have (1) in the case of Seller as the Indemnified Party caused any of the conditions set forth in Section 5.02(a) or 5.02(b), Section 8.2(a) of the PR Purchase Agreement (if applicable) or Section 9.2(a) of the USVI Purchase Agreement (if applicable) not to be satisfied or (2) in the case of Purchaser as the Indemnified Party cause any of the conditions set forth in Section 5.03(a) or 5.03(b), 8.3(a) of the PR Purchase Agreement (if applicable) or Section 9.3(a) of the USVI Purchase Agreement (if applicable) not

-88-

to be satisfied, (y) the Indemnified Party consummated the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the applicable Purchase Agreement, as applicable, and (z) the Indemnifying Party was not aware of such facts, matters or circumstances at any time prior to the Closing, the PR Closing or the USVI Closing, as applicable.

(f) Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, all amounts paid by Seller or Purchaser pursuant to this Article VI shall be treated for all Tax purposes as adjustments to the Consideration.

(g) Neither Seller nor Purchaser shall be entitled to receive indemnification from the other in respect of all or any portion of any Loss more than once (notwithstanding that such Loss may result from breaches of multiple provisions of this Agreement or the Purchase Agreements).

ARTICLE VII

Termination

7.01 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing as follows:

(a) by written agreement of Purchaser and Seller;

(b) by either Purchaser or Seller, by giving written notice of such termination to the other Party, if any condition to such terminating Party’s obligations hereunder has not been satisfied or waived and the Closing shall not have occurred on or prior to March 26, 2020 (the “Outside Date”); provided that the terminating Party pursuant to this Section 7.01(b) is not then in material breach of its representations, warranties, covenants or obligations under this Agreement or the Purchase Agreements; provided, further that if the Closing shall not have occurred prior to such date and all the conditions to Closing, other than one or more of the conditions set forth in Section 5.01(a), Section 5.02(d) and in Section 5.03(d), shall have been satisfied or shall be capable of being satisfied at such time and the extending Party is not then in material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or obligations set forth herein or in the Purchase Agreements, the Outside Date may be extended on one occasion by Seller or Purchaser by written notice to the other Party to June 26, 2020 and such date, if and as so extended, shall be the Outside Date;

(c) by Purchaser (provided Purchaser is not then in material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or obligations set forth herein or in the Purchase Agreements), if Seller has breached any representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement or any such representation or warranty becomes untrue or inaccurate, or breached or failed to perform any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement, which breach, failure to be true, inaccuracy or failure to perform (in the case of any representation or warranty, taken together with all breaches, failures to be true or

-89-

inaccuracies with respect to any representation or warranty of Seller set forth in the Purchase Agreements) would give rise to a failure of any condition set forth in Sections 5.03(a) or 5.03(b) and is not capable of being cured within the earlier of (1) thirty (30) days after written notice thereof is given by Purchaser to Seller and (2) the Outside Date (as such date may be extended in accordance with the terms of this Agreement); or

(d) by Seller (provided Seller is not then in material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or obligations set forth herein or in the Purchase Agreements), if Purchaser has breached any representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement or any such representation or warranty becomes untrue or inaccurate, or breached or failed to perform any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement, which breach, failure to be true, inaccuracy or failure to perform (in the case of any representation or warranty, taken together with all breaches, failures to be true or inaccuracies with respect to any representation or warranty of Purchaser set forth in the Purchase Agreements) would give rise to a failure of any condition set forth in Sections 5.02(a) or 5.02(b) and is not capable of being cured within the earlier of (1) thirty (30) days after written notice is given by Seller to Purchaser and (2) the Outside Date (as such date may be extended in accordance with the terms of this Agreement).

7.02 Effect of Termination.

(a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) below, if this Agreement is terminated in accordance with this Article VII, this Agreement shall thereafter become void and have no effect, and none of Parent, Purchaser or Seller shall have any liability to each other or their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, agents or employees in connection with this Agreement, except that (a) the obligations of the Parties contained in Section 4.07, the last sentence of Section 4.21(a) and this Section 7.02 and Article VIII and any relevant definitions shall survive any termination of this Agreement and (b) termination will not relieve any Party from liability or damages arising out of its fraud or intentional breach of any provision of this Agreement occurring prior to termination.

(b) If this Agreement is terminated by Purchaser or Seller pursuant to Section 7.01(b) and, at the time of such termination, (A) the condition to Closing set forth in Section 5.01(a) or Section 5.03(d) has not been satisfied or waived in writing, (B) all the other conditions to Closing set forth in Section 5.01 and Section 5.03 shall have been satisfied (or are capable of being satisfied) or waived in writing, then Purchaser shall promptly, but in no event later than two (2) days after the date of such termination, reimburse Seller for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, expenses and costs expended or incurred by it and its Affiliates in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Purchase Agreements or the termination of this Agreement and the Purchase Agreements, including in respect of counsel and financial advisors; provided that Purchaser shall not be required to reimburse Seller more than $2,000,000.00 in the aggregate, including any amount reimbursable by Purchaser under Section 9.2(b) of the PR Purchase Agreement or Section 10.2(b) of the USVI Purchase Agreement.

8.08 Entire Understanding. All Exhibits (attached hereto and as executed), Schedules and the Bank Disclosure Schedules hereto shall be deemed to be incorporated into and made part of this Agreement. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, together with the Exhibits, Schedules and the Bank Disclosure Schedules hereto and thereto, contain the entire agreement and understanding among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof (and supersede any prior agreements, arrangements or understandings among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof).

8.09 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that if any of the provisions of this Agreement or the Purchase Agreements were not to be performed as required by their specific terms or were to be otherwise breached, irreparable damage will occur, no adequate remedy at law would exist and damages would be difficult to determine, and that such Party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches, and to specific performance of the terms, of this Agreement or the Purchase Agreements, as applicable, in addition to any other remedy at law or equity. The Parties agree to not seek, and agree to waive, any requirement for securing or posting of a bond in connection with the Party’s seeking or obtaining any relief pursuant to this Section 8.09.

8.10 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any Person or entity or any circumstance, is found by a court or other Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, (a) a suitable and equitable provision shall be substituted therefore in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid or unenforceable provision and (b) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons, entities or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability, of such provision, or the application thereof, in any other jurisdiction.

-93-

8.11 Parties in Interest. This Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except for any Purchaser Releasee or Seller Releasee, in each case, pursuant to Section 4.18 (and only with respect to matters expressly contemplated by Section 4.18), nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement upon any Person other than the Parties and their successors or permitted assigns.

8.12 Venue for Resolution of Disputes. Each Party hereto agrees that it shall bring any action or proceeding in respect of any claim arising out of or related to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby, whether in tort or contract or at law or in equity, exclusively, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (or, if such court does not have jurisdiction over such action or proceeding, the Supreme Court of the State of New York for the County of New York), and (1) irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts, (2) waives any objection to laying venue in any such action or proceeding in such courts and (3) waives any objection that such courts are an inconvenient forum or do not have jurisdiction over any Party hereto. Each Party hereto further hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby in such courts, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum or that such Party is not subject to personal jurisdiction in such court.

8.13 Payments. All payments made pursuant to this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated, will be made by wire transfer of dollars in immediately available funds.

8.14 Purchase Agreement Closings. If either of the Purchase Agreement Closings does not occur substantially contemporaneously with the Closing, then the references in this Agreement to such Purchase Agreement, Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities (as defined in such Purchase Agreement) and, if the USVI Closing has not occurred, the USVIs in the definition of “Material Adverse Effect” will be deemed to be deleted. If either of the Purchase Agreements is terminated in accordance with its terms, then references in this Agreement to such Purchase Agreement, the Purchased Assets and the Assumed Liabilities (as defined in such Purchase Agreement), the USVIs (if the USVI Purchase Agreement is terminated) and other matters expressly addressed in such Purchase Agreement will be deemed to be deleted and read out, except in the case of the Recitals, Section 1.02 and this Section 8.14. If the USVI Closing does not occur substantially contemporaneously with the Closing, then the Parties will cooperate with each other in good faith to negotiate and enter into appropriate arrangements for Bank (or its successor) to continue to provide services to Seller in connection with its USVIs operations so that the Branches can continue to operate in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice.

-94-

8.15 Cooperation. Prior to Closing, Seller shall and shall cause Bank to take the actions specified in Section 8.15 of the Bank Disclosure Schedules.
