If the underwriter of the requested Demand Offering advises the Bank in writing (with a copy to Workers United) that in its opinion the number of shares of Class A Common Stock proposed to be included in any Demand Offering exceeds the number of securities which can be sold in such offering and/or that the number of shares of Class A Common Stock proposed to be included in any Demand Offering would adversely affect the price per share of the Class A Common Stock to be sold in such offering, the Bank shall include in such Demand Offering only the number of shares of Class A Common Stock which in the opinion of such underwriter can be so sold. If the number of shares which can be sold is less than the number of shares of Class A Common Stock proposed to be sold in the Demand Offering, the amount of Class A Common Stock to be so sold shall be allocated (i) first, pro rata among the such Workers United Related Parties desiring to participate in such Demand Offering on the basis of the amount of such Class A Common Stock initially proposed to be sold in the Demand Offering and (ii) second, to any other stockholders with registration rights, and (iii) third, to the Bank. The Bank shall not be obligated to effect any Demand Offering unless Workers United requests to effect the offering of Class A Common Stock having an anticipated aggregate offering price, net of any underwriting discounts or commissions, of at least fifty million dollars ($50,000,000). The Bank may postpone for up to one hundred twenty (120) calendar days the delivery of an offering circular for a Demand Offering if, based on the good faith judgment of the Board, such postponement is necessary in order to avoid premature disclosure of a material matter required, as determined by the Bank after consultation with outside counsel, to be otherwise disclosed in the offering circular that the Board has determined would not be in the best interest of the Bank to be disclosed at such time; provided, however, that the Bank shall not be entitled to so postpone unless it shall concurrently (A) require the suspension of sales in the open market by senior executives and/or directors of the Bank in accordance with the Bank’s insider trading policy from time to time in effect and (B) itself refrain from any public offering and open market purchases during the postponement; and provided, further, however, that if the Bank postpones the delivery of an offering circular pursuant to this sentence, Workers United shall be entitled to withdraw such request and, if such request is withdrawn, such Demand Offering shall not count as a Demand Offering for purposes of the 90-day restriction period provided in Section 3.2(a). The Bank shall provide written notice to Workers United requesting such Demand Offering and all other Workers United Related Parties of (x) any postponement of the delivery of an offering circular pursuant to this Section 3.2 and (y) the Bank’s decision to deliver an offering circular following such postponement.

3.3 Participation Rights in Underwritten Offerings.

(a) Whenever the Bank proposes to effect an underwritten offering of Class A Common Stock (a “Piggyback Offering”), either for its own account or for the account of one or more stockholders other than a Workers United Related Party, the Bank shall give prompt written notice (in any event within ten (10) calendar days after its receipt of notice of any exercise of Demand Offering rights) to all Workers United Related Parties of its intention to effect a Piggyback Offering, which notice the Workers United Related Parties shall keep confidential, and, subject to Sections 3.3(b) and 3.3(c), shall include in such Piggyback Offering on the same terms as the Bank and other Persons selling securities in connection with such Piggyback Offering, all shares of Class A Common Stock with respect to which the Bank has

13

received written requests for inclusion therein from a Workers United Related Party within fifteen (15) calendar days after the receipt by such Workers United Related Party of the Bank’s notice. The Bank’s notice shall specify, at a minimum, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock proposed to be offered and sold, the proposed date of commencing the Piggyback Offering , the proposed means of distribution, the proposed managing underwriter or underwriters (if any and if known) and a good faith estimate by the Bank of the proposed minimum offering price of the Class A Common Stock. The Bank may postpone a Piggyback Offering at any time in its sole discretion; provided that such postponement does not relieve the Bank of its obligations to pay offering expenses pursuant to Section 3.6. Each Workers United Related Party shall be permitted to withdraw all or part of its Class A Common Stock from a Piggyback Offering at any time prior to the closing of such Offering.

(b) If a Piggyback Offering is an underwritten primary Offering on behalf of the Bank, and the managing underwriters advise the Bank in writing that in their opinion the number of equity securities requested to be included in such Offering exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering and/or that the number of shares of Class A Common Stock proposed to be included in any such Offering would adversely affect the price per share of the Bank’s equity securities to be sold in such offering, the Bank shall include in such Offering (i) first, the equity securities the Bank proposes to sell for its own account, and (ii) second, the shares of Class A Common Stock requested to be included in such Offering, pro rata among the Workers United Related Parties and any other stockholder seeking to exercise piggyback participation or registration rights on the basis of the number of shares requested to be registered by such Workers United Related Parties and such other stockholders.

(c) If any Piggyback Offering is an underwritten primary offering on behalf of the Bank, the Bank shall have the right to select the managing underwriter or underwriters to administer any such offering. In any other Piggyback Offering, the selling stockholder selling the largest number of shares shall have the right to select the managing underwriter or underwriters to administer such offering.

3.4 Holdback Agreements. In the event of an underwritten offering of Class A Common Stock by the Bank, each Workers United Related Party hereby agrees that, if requested by the applicable managing underwriter, it will not, without the prior written consent of the applicable managing underwriter, during the period commencing on the date of the final offering circular relating to such offering and ending on the date specified by the Bank and the managing underwriter (such period not to exceed one hundred and eighty (180) calendar days) except for such shares of Class A Common Stock as shall be included in such offering, (a) lend, offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right, or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Class A Common Stock owned by such Workers United Related Party or (b) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of such Class A Common Stock, whether any such transaction described is to be settled by delivery of the Class A Common Stock or other securities, in cash, or otherwise; provided, however, that the foregoing will apply only if the then named executive officers (or senior officers performing comparable functions) and directors of the Bank then holding securities of the Bank enter into similar agreements. The foregoing provisions of this Section 3.4 will not apply to the sale of any shares to an underwriter pursuant

14

to an underwriting agreement. Each Workers United Related Party further agrees to execute such agreements as may be reasonably requested by the underwriters in connection with such registration that are consistent with this Section 3.4; provided, that the named executive officers (or senior officers performing comparable functions) and directors of the Bank then holding securities of the Bank enter into similar agreements if requested by the underwriters or placement agent.

16

(xi) if requested, cause to be delivered, immediately prior to the closing of the offering (and, in the case of an underwritten offering, at the time of delivery of any Class A Common Stock sold pursuant thereto), comfort letters from the Bank’s independent certified public accountants addressed to each underwriter, if any, stating that such accountants are independent public accountants within the meaning of the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations thereunder, and otherwise in customary form and covering such financial and accounting matters as are customarily covered by letters of the independent certified public accountants delivered in connection with primary or secondary underwritten public offerings, as the case may be;

(xii) promptly notify each seller of Class A Common Stock and the underwriter or underwriters, if any:

17

(c) The Bank will promptly respond to any and all comments received from the FDIC on any offering circular, with a view towards causing such offering circular or any supplement thereto to be cleared for use by the FDIC as soon as practicable.

(d) The Bank may require each seller of Class A Common Stock as to which any offering is being effected to furnish to the Bank any information regarding such seller and the distribution of such securities as the Bank may from time to time reasonably request in writing in order to comply with applicable securities laws and effect the offering of any Class A Common Stock pursuant to the terms hereof.

(e) Each seller of Class A Common Stock agrees by having its stock offered pursuant to this Agreement that, upon written notice from the Bank, after consultation with outside counsel, of the happening of any event as a result of which the offering circular contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (a “Suspension Notice”), such seller will forthwith discontinue disposition of Class A Common Stock until such seller is advised in writing by the Bank that the use of the offering circular may be resumed and is furnished with a supplemented offering circular as required by Section 3.5(a)(iii) hereof, and, if so directed by the Bank, such seller will deliver to the Bank (at the Bank’s expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such seller’s possession, of the offering circular covering such Class A Common Stock current at the time of receipt of such notice; provided, however, that the Bank shall promptly use its reasonable best efforts to take such other action so as to obviate the need for a Suspension Notice as soon as reasonably practicable in the good faith judgment of the Bank and promptly deliver sufficient copies of such supplemented offering circular pursuant to Section 3.5(a)(iii) to such sellers to resume such disposition; and provided further that such postponement of sales of Class A Common Stock by the Workers United Related Parties shall not exceed ninety (90) calendar days in the aggregate in any one year. Each seller of Class A Common Stock further agrees by having its stock treated as Class A Common Stock hereunder that it shall maintain in confidence and not disclose the receipt of any Suspension Notice. If the Bank shall give any notice to suspend the disposition of Class A Common Stock pursuant to an offering circular, the Bank shall extend the period of time during which the Bank is required to maintain the offering circular current pursuant to this Agreement by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice to and including the date such seller either is advised by the Bank that the use of the offering circular may be resumed or receives the copies of the supplemented or amended offering circular contemplated by Section 3.5(a)(iii). In any event, the Bank shall not deliver more than three Suspension Notices in any one year.

(f) If any such offering circular refers to any Workers United Related Party by name or otherwise as the holder of any securities of the Bank, then such Workers United Related Party shall have the right to require (i) the insertion therein of language, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Workers United Related Party, to the effect that the holding by such Workers United Related Party of such securities does not necessarily make such holder a “controlling person” of the Bank within the meaning of the Securities Act and is not to be

18

construed as a recommendation by such Workers United Related Party of the investment quality of the Bank’s securities covered thereby and that such holding does not imply that such Workers United Related Party will assist in meeting any future financial requirements of the Bank, or (ii) in the event that such reference to such Workers United Related Party by name or otherwise is not required by the FDIC Policy Statement or any similar federal statute then in force, the deletion of the reference to such Workers United Related Party.

(g) In connection with the preparation of each offering circular offering the Workers United Related Parties’ Class A Common Stock, the Bank will give such Workers United Related Parties and the underwriters, if any, and their respective counsel and accountants, drafts of such offering circulars for their review and comment prior to distribution (with a reasonable period of time to review and comment prior to such filing).

(b) In connection with each offering initiated under this Article III, the Bank shall reimburse the Workers United Related Parties covered by such registration or sale for the reasonable fees and disbursements of one law firm chosen by the Workers United Related Parties included in such offering.

(c) The obligation of the Bank to bear the expenses described in Section 3.6(a) and to reimburse the Workers United Related Parties for the expenses described in Section 3.6(b) shall apply irrespective of whether any sales of Class A Common Stock by Workers United Related Parties ultimately take place; provided that the Bank’s obligations under Section 3.6(b) shall not apply with respect to any Demand Offering that is withdrawn by Workers United (in which case the Workers United Parties whose shares of Class A Common Stock were proposed to be offered shall be solely responsible for the payment of any third-party out-of-pocket expenses of the Bank in connection with such offering).

19

3.7 Indemnification. Upon an underwritten offering of Class A Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.2 or 3.3 hereof:

(a) The Bank shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each Workers United Related Party, its officers, directors, employees and Affiliates and each Person who controls such Workers United Related Party (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including but not limited to reasonable legal fees and expenses) to which such Person may become subject, as incurred, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any offering circular under which such Class A Common Stock is offered and sold hereunder or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any offering circular or supplement to an Offering circular, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading or any violation by the Bank of the Exchange Act or applicable “blue sky” laws in respect of any such offering, except insofar and to the extent as the same are made in reliance and in conformity with information relating to such Workers United Related Party furnished in writing to the Bank by such Workers United Related Party expressly for use therein.

(b) In connection with any offering in which a Workers United Related Party proposes to sell Class A Common Stock, each such Workers United Related Party shall furnish to the Bank in writing such information and affidavits as the Bank reasonably requests for use in connection with any such offering circular (which shall be limited to the legal name and address of such selling stockholder and the number of shares of Class A Common Stock owned by such selling stockholder before and after the offering) and shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Bank, its respective officers, employees, directors, Affiliates, and each Person who controls the Bank, as the case may be (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including but not limited to reasonable legal fees and expenses) to which such Person may become subject, as incurred, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in such offering circular or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any offering circular or supplement to an offering circular, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading or any violation by such Workers United Related Party of the Exchange Act or applicable “blue sky” laws in respect of any such offering, but only to the extent that the same are made in reliance and in conformity with information relating to such Workers United Related Party furnished in writing to the Bank by such Workers United Related Party expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, among such Workers United Related Parties and the liability of each such Workers United Related Party shall be several, not joint and several, among such Workers United Related Parties and the liability of each such Workers United Related Party shall be in proportion to and limited to the net amount received (after all underwriting discounts and commissions) by such Workers United Related Party from the sale of Class A Common Stock pursuant to such offering circular.

(c) Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably

20

satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld). The indemnifying party shall not enter into any settlement of the claims so assumed without the consent of the indemnified party (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld); provided that the consent of the indemnified party will not be required if the settlement involves only the payment of money damages all of which are indemnifiable losses hereunder aid does not involve the imposition of any equitable remedy or admission of wrongdoing. An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such assumed claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party there may be one or more legal or equitable defenses available to such indemnified party which are in addition to or may conflict with those available to another indemnified party with respect to such claim. Failure to give prompt written notice shall not release the indemnifying party from its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually and materially prejudiced by the failure promptly to give such notice.

(d) The indemnification provided for under Article III of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling Person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities.

(e) If the indemnification provided for in or pursuant to this Section 3.7 is due in accordance with the terms hereof, but is held by a court to be unavailable or unenforceable in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to herein, then each applicable indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which result in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses. The relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified Person on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party, and by such party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. In no event shall the liability of any selling Workers United Related Party, except in the case of willful misconduct or fraud by such Workers United Related Party, be greater in amount than the amount of net proceeds (after underwriting discounts and commissions) received by such Workers United Related Party upon such sale or the amount for which such indemnifying party would have been obligated to pay by way of indemnification if the indemnification provided for under Section 3.7(a) or 3.7(b) hereof had been available under the circumstances.

21

3.8 Miscellaneous.

(a) No Inconsistent or More Favorable Agreements; Pari Passu Status of Rights Granted Hereunder. None of the parties hereto shall enter into any agreement or other arrangement of any kind with any Person with respect to the sale of securities of the Bank which is inconsistent with the provisions of Article III of this Agreement. Except as set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, the Bank has not provided, and shall not provide, demand offering rights of the type set forth in Section 3.2 or piggyback rights of the type set forth in Section 3.3 and that may be exercised prior to, or in priority to, the exercise of the corresponding registration rights by Workers United Related Parties under this Agreement pursuant to Section 3.2 or Section 3.3, as applicable; provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing clause will not restrict the Bank from entering into any agreement providing sales rights that may be exercised at substantially the same time as (or later than), or ranking substantially pari passu with (or junior to), with respect to priority of sales in a Demand Offering or a Piggyback Offering, the sale rights granted to the Workers United Related Parties under this Agreement. The Demand Offering and Piggyback Offering rights granted pursuant to Article III of this Agreement shall be interpreted as substantially pari passu with the Demand Registration and Piggyback Registration rights granted to the Stockholders party to the Registration Rights Agreement.

(b) Post-Holding Company Formation Registration Rights. It is acknowledged by the parties to this Agreement that, as of the date of this Agreement, shares of Class A Common Stock are securities of a depository institution and, accordingly, transfer of such securities is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The Bank agrees that, in the event of a Holding Company Formation, to the extent necessary to ensure that shares of the Class A Common Stock are freely transferable pursuant to applicable laws and in order to expedite and facilitate the disposition by the Workers United Related Parties of such securities, for all purposes of this Agreement subsequent to the effectiveness of a Holding Company Formation, the terms “FDIC” and “FDIC Policy Statement” shall refer to the appropriate federal or state governmental authority and applicable Laws, respectively, and the provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted under the regulations of any such governmental authority and under the applicable laws to give full effect to the intent and purposes of this Agreement.

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

(c) The Board of Directors may require reasonable evidence as to the foregoing, including, without limitation, an Opinion of Counsel (other than, in the case of clause (i) above, in connection with a Transfer made in accordance with Section 3.1(c) or a Transfer by an Workers United Related Party to one or more Permitted Transferees for no consideration).

(i) THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED, SOLD, OFFERED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT WHILE A REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATING THERETO IS IN EFFECT UNDER APPLICABLE LAWS OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT OR SUCH LAWS.

(ii) THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO TRANSFER AND OTHER RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN AN INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF AUGUST 18, 2018, AS AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, COPIES OF WHICH ARE ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY, AND THIS SECURITY MAY NOT BE VOTED OR OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE THEREWITH.

(iii) THIS SECURITY IS NOT INSURED OR GUARANTEED BY THE FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION.

26

If Indemnitee was or is made a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to or is otherwise involved (including, without limitation, as a witness) in any Proceeding (as defined below), subject to Section 5, the Bank agrees to and shall hold harmless and indemnify Indemnitee from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, taxes or penalties, amounts paid in settlement and other expenses incurred in connection with such Proceeding), which are actually incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding and are reasonably documented (collectively, “Damages”) to the full extent permitted by law, notwithstanding that such indemnification is not specifically authorized by this Agreement, the Bank’s Organization Certificate (the “Charter”), the Bylaws, the Act or otherwise. In the event of any change, after the date of this Agreement, in any applicable law, statute or rule regarding the right of a New York banking institution to indemnify a member of its Board of Directors, such change, to the extent that it would expand Indemnitee’s rights hereunder, shall be within the purview of Indemnitee’s rights and the Bank’s obligations hereunder, and, to the extent that it would narrow Indemnitee’s rights hereunder, shall be excluded from this Agreement.

B-2

1.2 Nonexclusivity. The indemnification provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any rights to which Indemnitee may be entitled under the Act, the Charter, the Bylaws, any agreement, any general or specific action of the Bank’s Board of Directors, vote of stockholders or otherwise. To the extent that there is a conflict or inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and the Charter or Bylaws, it is the intent of the parties hereto that the Indemnitee shall enjoy the greater benefits regardless of whether contained herein, in the Charter or in the Bylaws. No amendment or alteration of the Charter or Bylaws or any other agreement shall adversely affect the rights provided to Indemnitee under this Agreement.

1.3 Partial Indemnity. If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Bank for some or a portion of Indemnitee’s expenses incurred in any Proceeding, but not, however, for all of the total amount thereof, the Bank shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion thereof to which Indemnitee is entitled.

1.4 Burden of Proof. In connection with any determination by the Board of Directors, any court or otherwise as to whether Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified hereunder, the Board of Directors or court shall presume that Indemnitee has satisfied the applicable standard of conduct and is entitled to indemnification, and the burden of proof shall be on the Bank or its representative to establish that Indemnitee is not so entitled.

1.5 Reliance as Safe Harbor. Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification for any action or omission to act undertaken (i) in good faith reliance upon the records of the Bank, including its financial statements, or upon information, opinions, reports or statements furnished to Indemnitee by the officers or employees of the Bank or any of its subsidiaries in the course of their duties, or by committees of the Board of Directors, or (ii) on behalf of the Bank in furtherance of the interests of the Bank in good faith in reliance upon, and in accordance with, the advice of the Bank’s legal counsel, accountants or other advisors, provided such legal counsel or accountants were selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Bank. In addition, the knowledge and/or rations, or failures to act, of any other director, officer, agent or employee of the Bank shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to indemnity hereunder.

1.6 Definition of Proceeding. For purposes of this Agreement, “Proceeding” shall mean any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative and whether formal or informal, in which Indemnitee is, was or becomes involved by reason of the fact that Indemnitee, or Indemnitee’s testator or intestate, is or was a director of the Bank or that, being or having been such a director, Indemnitee is or was serving at the Bank’s request as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise (collectively a “Related Company”), including service with respect to an employee benefit plan; provided, however, that, except with respect to an action to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, “Proceeding” shall not include any action, suit or proceeding instituted by or at the direction of Indemnitee unless such action, suit or proceeding is or was authorized by the Bank’s Board of Directors.

B-3

1.7 Survival. The indemnification provided under this Agreement shall apply to any and all Proceedings, notwithstanding that Indemnitee has ceased to be a director of the Bank, or a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of a Related Company.

1.8 Liability Insurance. The Bank shall use its reasonable best efforts to purchase and maintain a policy or policies of insurance with reputable insurance companies with A.M . Best Financial Strength Ratings of “B+” or better, providing Indemnitee with coverage for any liability asserted against, or incurred by, Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director of the Bank or that, being or having been such a director, Indemnitee is or was serving at the Bank’s request as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of a Related Company, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan, whether or not the Bank would have the power to indemnify Indemnitee against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement. Such insurance policies shall have coverage terms and policy limits at least as favorable to Indemnitee as the insurance coverage provided to any other director or officer of the Bank. If the Bank has such insurance in effect at the time the Bank receives from Indemnitee any notice of the commencement of a Proceeding, the Bank shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such Proceeding to the relevant insurer in accordance with the procedures set forth in the policy. The Bank shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause any such insurer to pay, on behalf of Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such Proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policy.

2. Expense Advances; Indemnification Procedure

2.1 Generally. Subject to Section 2.2 and Section 5, the right to indemnification of Damages conferred by Section 1 shall include the right to have the Bank pay any expenses of Indemnitee indemnifiable pursuant to Section 1.1 hereof as such expenses are incurred and in advance of such Proceeding’s final disposition (such right is referred to hereinafter as an “Expense Advance”). The Indemnitee’s right to an Expense Advance is absolute and shall not be subject to any condition that the Bank’s Board of Directors shall not have determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified under applicable law. Requests of Indemnitee for advances shall be made in writing and shall provide a reasonable accounting for the expenses to be advanced by the Bank.

2.2 Conditions to Expense Advance. The Bank’s obligation to provide an Expense Advance is subject to the following conditions:

2.2.1 Undertaking. If the Proceeding arose in connection with Indemnitee’s service as a director of the Bank, then Indemnitee or his or her representative shall have executed and delivered to the Bank a written undertaking, which must be an unlimited general obligation, but shall be unsecured and interest-free and shall be accepted without reference to Indemnitee’s financial ability to make repayment, by or on behalf of Indemnitee to repay all Expense Advances if and to the extent that it shall ultimately be determined by a final , unappealable decision rendered by a court having jurisdiction over the parties and the question that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Bank as authorized hereby.

2.2.2 Cooperation. Indemnitee shall give the Bank such information and cooperation as it may reasonably request and as shall be within Indemnitee’s power.

B-4

2.2.3 Affirmation. Indemnitee shall furnish, upon request by the Bank and if required under applicable law, a written affirmation of Indemnitee’s good faith belief that he or she has met the standard of conduct described in Section 7018 of the Act.

2.3 Indemnification Procedure. To obtain indemnification under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit to the Bank a written request, including therein or therewith such documentation and information as is reasonably available to Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification. The Secretary of the Bank shall, promptly upon receipt of such a request for indemnification, advise the Board in writing that Indemnitee has requested indemnification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any failure of Indemnitee to provide such a request to the Bank, or to provide such a request in a timely fashion, shall not relieve the Bank of any liability that it may have to Indemnitee unless, and to the extent that, such failure actually and materially prejudices the interests of the Bank. Upon any such written request by Indemnitee for indemnification, a determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement thereto shall be made in the specific case in the manner required by applicable law, including Section 7020 of the Act. Indemnitee shall reasonably cooperate with the person, persons or entity making such determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, including providing to such person, persons or entity upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination. Any written request pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall be directed to the General Counsel of the Bank at the address shown on the signature page of this Agreement (or such other address as the Bank shall designate in writing to Indemnitee pursuant to Section 10).

3. Priority

3.1 Bank Fully and Primarily Responsible. Given that certain Jointly Indemnifiable Claims may arise due to the relationship between the Fund Entities and the Bank, and the service of Indemnitee as a director of the Bank at the request of the Fund Entities, the Bank acknowledges and agrees that the Bank shall be fully and primarily responsible for the indemnification and advancement of expenses of Indemnitee in connection with any such Jointly Indemnifiable Claim, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and applicable law, irrespective of any right of recovery Indemnitee may have from the Fund Entities or any of their respective Affiliates. Under no circumstances shall the Bank be entitled to any right of contribution by the Fund Entities or any of their Affiliates and no right of recovery Indemnitee may have from the Fund Entities or any of their respective Affiliates shall reduce or otherwise alter the rights of Indemnitee or the obligations of the Bank under this Agreement. In the event that any of the Fund Entities shall make any payment to the Indemnitee in respect of indemnification or advancement of expenses with respect to any Jointly Indemnifiable Claim, the Fund Entities making such payment shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the Indemnitee against the Bank under the terms of this Agreement, and the Indemnitee shall execute all papers reasonably required and shall do all things that may be reasonably necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents as may be necessary to enable the Fund Entities effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights Each of the Fund Entities shall be third-party beneficiaries with respect to this Section 3, entitled to enforce this Section 3 against the Bank as though each of the Fund Entities were a party to this Agreement.

For purposes of this definition, (i) “control” (including, with correlative meanings, the terms “controlled by” and “under common control with”) when used with respect to any person, means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to cause the direction of management and/or policies of such person, whether through the ownership of voting securities by contract or otherwise, and (ii) “person” has the meaning given to it in Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or any successor statute and as used in Sections 13(d)(3) and 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act.

3.2.2 Fund Entities. “Fund Entities” shall mean any corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other entity or enterprise (other than the Bank or any Related Company as to which Indemnitee has agreed, on behalf of the Bank or at the Bank’s request, to serve as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent and which service is covered by this Agreement) from whom Indemnitee may be entitled to indemnification or advancement of expenses with respect to which, in whole or in part, the Bank may also have an indemnification or advancement obligation.

3.2.3 Jointly Indemnifiable Claims. “Jointly Indemnifiable Claim” shall mean any claim for which Indemnitee may be entitled to indemnification both from any Fund Entity, on the one hand, and the Bank, on the other hand, pursuant to applicable law, any indemnification agreement or the certificate of incorporation, bylaws, partnership agreement, operating agreement, certificate of formation, certificate of limited partnership or comparable organizational documents of the Bank or such Fund Entity.

It shall be a defense to any such action that Indemnitee has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the Act for the Bank to indemnify Indemnitee for the amount claimed; provided, however, that the Bank shall bear the burden of proof to establish that Indemnitee has not met the standards of conduct permissible under the Act.

B-6

4.2 Presumptions in Enforcement Action. In any Enforcement Action the following presumptions (and limitation on presumptions) shall apply:

(a) The Bank shall conclusively be presumed to have entered into this Agreement and assumed the obligations imposed on it hereunder in order to induce Indemnitee to serve as a director of the Bank;

(b) Neither (i) the failure of the Bank (including the Bank’s Board of Directors, independent or special legal counsel or the Bank’s stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of the Enforcement Action that indemnification of Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances nor (ii) an actual determination by the Bank, its Board of Directors, independent or special legal counsel or stockholders that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification shall be a defense to the Enforcement Action or create a presumption that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification hereunder; and

(c) If Indemnitee is or was serving as a director, officer, employee, trustee or agent of a corporation of which a majority of the shares entitled to vote in the election of its directors is held by the Bank or in an executive or management capacity in a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise of which the Bank or a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank is a general partner or has a majority ownership, then such corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or enterprise shall conclusively be deemed a Related Company and Indemnitee shall conclusively be deemed to be serving such Related Company at the request of the Bank.

5. Limitations on Indemnity; Mutual Acknowledgment

5.1 Limitation on Indemnity. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no indemnity pursuant to this Agreement shall be provided by the Bank:

(b) On account of Indemnitee’s conduct which is has been determined by a non-appealable final adjudication to fall within one or more of the exclusions set forth in the Act;

(c) If a final decision by a court having jurisdiction in the matter shall determine that such indemnification is not lawful; or

B-7

(d) With regard to any judicial award if the Bank was not given a reasonable and timely opportunity, at its expense, to participate in the defense of such action which has resulted in actual material prejudice to the Bank; provided, however, that the Bank’s liability hereunder shall not be excused if participation in the Proceeding by the Bank was not permitted by this Agreement.

5.2 Legal Limitation. Both the Bank and Indemnitee acknowledge that in certain instances, applicable law or regulation may prohibit the Bank from or limit the Bank in indemnifying its directors and officers, and/or the directors and officers of any Related Company under this Agreement or otherwise. The Indemnitee further acknowledges that regulatory approval may be, under applicable law or regulation, required in advance of, and as a condition to, any payment hereunder. To the extent that any such approval must be obtained by the Bank, the Bank shall take all actions reasonably necessary to obtain any such approval and to file all notices with respect to any indemnification payment required by Section 7022 of the Act or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Bank shall not be required to make any indemnification payment (including without limitation any Expense Advance) to the extent such payment is prohibited or limited pursuant to 12 U.S.C. § 1828(k) or by 12 C.F.R. Part 359 or Sections 7018—7023 of the Act and any such payment made shall be in compliance with requirements imposed pursuant to 12 U.S.C. § 1828(k) or by 12 C.F.R Part 359 or Sections 7018—7023 of the Act including, without limitation, any required agreements of Indemnitee.

6. Notification and Defense of Claim

6.1 Notification. Promptly after receipt by Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of any Proceeding, Indemnitee will , if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Bank under this Agreement, notify the Bank of the commencement thereof; but the omission to so notify the Bank will not relieve the Bank from any liability which it may have to Indemnitee under this Agreement unless and only to the extent that such omission can be shown to have actually and materially prejudiced the Bank’s ability to defend the Proceeding. Notice to the Bank shall be directed to the General Counsel of the Bank at the address shown on the signature page of this Agreement (or such other address as the Bank shall designate in writing to Indemnitee pursuant to Section 10).

6.2 Defense of Claim. With respect to any Proceeding as to which Indemnitee seeks indemnification or reimbursement hereunder:

(a) The Bank may participate therein at its own expense;

(b) The Bank, by itself or jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, may assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee. After notice from the Bank to Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense thereof, the Bank shall not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement for any legal or other expenses (other than reasonable costs of investigation) subsequently incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been authorized by the Bank, (ii) Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Bank and Indemnitee in the conduct of the defense of such action, or (iii) the Bank shall not within 30 days, in fact, have employed counsel to assume the defense of such action, in

B-8

each of which cases the fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the Bank. The Bank shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any action, suit or proceeding brought by or on behalf of the Bank or as to which Indemnitee shall have made the conclusion provided for in clause (ii) above.

(c) Subject to the Bank’s compliance with its obligations under Section 2.1, the Bank shall not be liable to indemnify Indemnitee under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any Proceeding effected without its written consent;

(d) The Bank shall not settle any action or claim in any manner which would impose any penalty or limitation on Indemnitee without Indemnitee’s written consent;

(e) Indemnitee shall give the Bank such information and cooperation as it may reasonably request and as shall be within Indemnitee’s power;

(f) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Bank’s assumption of the defense of a Proceeding pursuant to this Section 6 will constitute an irrevocable acknowledgement by the Bank that any expenses incurred by or for the account of Indemnitee that are payable by the Bank pursuant to Section 6.2(b) in connection therewith are indemnifiable by the Bank hereunder.

7. Subrogation

In the event of payment under this Agreement by or on behalf of the Bank, except as provided in Section 3, the Bank shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers that may be required and shall do all things that may be necessary to secure such rights, including without limitation, the execution of such documents as may be necessary to enable the Bank effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights The Bank shall pay or reimburse all expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such subrogation.

8. Severability

Nothing in this Agreement is intended to require or shall be construed as requiring the Bank to do or fail to do any act in violation of applicable law. The Bank’s inability, pursuant to court order, to perform its obligations under this Agreement shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement shall be severable, as provided in this Section 8. If this Agreement or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Bank shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Agreement that shall not have been invalidated, and the balance of this Agreement not so invalidated shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.
