The Company proposes to issue and sell an aggregate of 10,000 shares of Fixed-to-Floating Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series C, par value $0.01, of the Company (the “Preferred Stock”).

An automatic shelf registration statement as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”), which contains a base prospectus (the “Base Prospectus”) to be used in connection with the offering and sale of securities of the Company, including the Preferred Stock, has been filed on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) not earlier than three years prior to the date hereof. The registration statement is effective pursuant to the rules and regulations promulgated by the Commission under the 1933 Act (the “1933 Act Regulations”). As used in this Agreement:

	(i) “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus” means each “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405 under the 0000 Xxx) prepared by or on behalf of the Company or used or referred to by the Company in connection with the offering of the Preferred Stock as listed on Schedule II hereto;

	(ii) “Preliminary Prospectus” means any preliminary prospectus supplement relating to the Preferred Stock included in such registration statement or filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the 1933 Act Regulations, together with the Base Prospectus;

	(iii) “Pricing Disclosure Material” means, as of the Pricing Effective Time, the most recent Preliminary Prospectus together with each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus filed or used by the Company on or before the Pricing Effective Time, other than a road show that is a Permitted Free Writing Prospectus under Rule 433 of the 1933 Act Regulations;

	(iv) “Pricing Effective Time” means 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on the date of this Agreement;

	(v) “Prospectus” means the final prospectus supplement relating to the Preferred Stock, as filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the 1933 Act Regulations, together with the Base Prospectus; and

	(vi) “Registration Statement” means the registration statement, as deemed revised at the time of such registration statement’s effectiveness for purposes of Section 11 of the 1933 Act as such section applies to the Company and the Underwriters for such offering pursuant to Rule 430B(f)(1) and Rule 430B(f)(2) under the 1933 Act (the “Effective Time”), including (i) all documents then filed as a part thereof or incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein and (ii) any information contained or incorporated by reference in a prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the 1933 Act, to the extent such information is deemed, pursuant to Rule 430B(f)(1) under the 1933 Act, to be part of the Registration Statement at the Effective Time;

	Any reference to any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include any documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Form S-3 under the 1933 Act as of the date of such Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be. Any reference to the “most recent Preliminary Prospectus” shall be deemed to refer to the latest Preliminary Prospectus included in the Registration Statement or filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) prior to or on the date hereof (including, for purposes hereof, any documents incorporated by reference therein prior to or on the date hereof).

SECTION 8. INDEMNIFICATION.

(a) INDEMNIFICATION OF THE UNDERWRITERS. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, each Underwriter’s respective directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Material or the Prospectus (if used within the period set forth in Section 4(b) and as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto), or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon information furnished in writing to the Company by any Underwriter expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity agreement with respect to any Preliminary Prospectus (including, without limitation, any preliminary prospectus supplement), any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Material, or any Prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Underwriter from whom the person asserting any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities purchased Preferred Stock, any directors and officers of such Underwriter or any person controlling such Underwriter, if a copy of the Pricing Disclosure Material or the Prospectus (as then amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) was provided (with notice that it contains additional or different material information) to such Underwriter by the Company sufficiently far enough in advance of the time of sale in order to enable such Underwriter to convey to the purchaser of the Preferred Stock and was not conveyed by or on behalf of such Underwriter to such person at or prior to the entry into the contract of sale of the Preferred Stock to such person pursuant to Rule 159 of the 1933 Act, and if the Pricing Disclosure Material or the Prospectus (as so amended or supplemented) would have cured the defect giving rise to such loss, claim, damage or liability.

(b) INDEMNIFICATION OF COMPANY. Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers who sign the Registration Statement and any person controlling the Company to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to each Underwriter, (i) with reference to information relating to such Underwriter furnished in writing by such Underwriter expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Material or the Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto and (ii) arising from any other free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of such Underwriter, except to the extent arising from the information furnished in writing by the Company expressly for use therein.

(c) GENERAL. Promptly after receipt by any person of notice of any claim or the institution of any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to either of the two preceding paragraphs, such person (the “indemnified party”) shall notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing and the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it elects (upon notice to the indemnified party), jointly with any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If the indemnifying party shall not have so elected to assume such defense, then, upon request of the indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. If the indemnifying party shall so elect to assume such defense, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party pursuant to this Section 8 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party

and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to local counsel) for all such indemnified parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by the Underwriters in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(a) and by the Company in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(b). The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

SECTION 9. CONTRIBUTION. If the indemnification provided for in Section 8 is unavailable to an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) if the indemnifying party is the Company, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the issue and sale of the Preferred Stock, (ii) if the indemnifying party is an Underwriter, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of such Underwriter on the one hand and the Company on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, or (iii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) or clause (ii) above, as the case may be, is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above or the relative fault referred to in clause (ii) above, as the case may be, but also such relative fault (in cases covered by clause (i)) or such relative benefits (in cases covered by clause (ii))) as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total sales price received by the Company from the sale of the Preferred Stock that are the subject of the claim for indemnification (before deducting expenses) bears to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters from sales of the Preferred Stock that are the subject of the claim for indemnification. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue statement of a fact or the omission to state a fact relates to information supplied by the Company or statements made or furnished by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations provided for, in the respective cases, in clauses (i), (ii), and (iii) of the immediately preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which any Preferred Stock purchased by such Underwriter and distributed to the public, were offered to the public, exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 0000 Xxx) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 9 are several, in proportion to the respective amounts of Preferred Stock solicited or purchased by each of such Underwriters, and not joint.

SECTION 10. TERMINATION. This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the discretion of the Representatives at any time prior to the Closing Date, by notice given by the Representatives to the Company if (i) trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended or materially limited; (ii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities in the State of New York or the United States shall have been declared by Federal authorities; or (iii) there shall have occurred any material outbreak, or material escalation, of hostilities or other national or international calamity or crisis, of such magnitude and severity in its effect on the financial markets of the United States, in the reasonable judgment of the Representatives, as to prevent or materially impair the marketing, or enforcement of contracts for sale, of the Preferred Stock.
