XXXXXX, XXXXXX X. XXXXXXX, XXXXXX X. XXXXXXXX, XXXXXXX X. XXXXXX, XXXXX X. XXXXXXXX, XXXXXX X. XXXXXXX, N. XXX XXXXX, XXXXXXX X. XXXXXX (together with BPPA, each, individually, a “Seller” and, collectively, the “Sellers”), BOSTON PRIVATE FINANCIAL HOLDINGS, INC., a Massachusetts corporation (“BPFH”), XXXXX X. XXXX III (“Clay” and, together with BPFH, the “Seller Principals”), and DAVIDSON TRUST COMPANY, a Pennsylvania trust company (the “Company”). The Sellers and the Seller Principals are sometimes referred to herein, individually, as a “Seller Party” and, collectively, as the “Seller Parties.” The parties to this Agreement are sometimes referred to herein, individually, as a “Party” and, collectively, as the “Parties.”

Background

The Company is engaged in the business of providing private wealth management services (the “Business”).

Sellers are the collective owners of one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company (the “Shares”). Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Sellers have determined to sell, and Buyer desires to purchase, all of the Shares, free and clear of Encumbrances.

Agreement

NOW, THEREFORE, intending to be legally bound, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

1. Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the capitalized terms not otherwise defined in the body of this Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in Exhibit A attached hereto, which defined terms are incorporated herein by reference.

2. Sale and Purchase of Shares. On the Closing Date, subject to and upon the terms and conditions contained herein, Sellers shall sell, transfer, convey, assign and deliver to Buyer, and Buyer shall purchase and acquire from Sellers, free and clear of Encumbrances, good and marketable title to all, and not less than all, of the Shares.

3. Purchase Price.

3.1. Purchase Price Calculation. The consideration to be paid to Sellers for the Shares, subject to terms and conditions of this Agreement, shall consist of the following (collectively, the “Purchase Price”):

(a) The Initial Payment; plus

(b) The Contingent Payments.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event shall the Purchase Price exceed $10,500,000 in the aggregate.

3.2. Initial Payments at Closing. On the Closing Date, Buyer shall pay to Sellers an amount equal to $7,350,000 (the “Initial Payment”), which amount shall be paid to Sellers pro-rata in accordance with their respective Shares in the Company, via wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts designated in writing by Sellers at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date.

3.3. Contingent Payments.

(a) Payment Dates. Buyer shall pay to Sellers a Contingent Payment on the Six-Month Payment Date, the Twelve-Month Payment Date and the Eighteen-Month Payment Date. Each Contingent Payment shall be paid to Sellers pro-rata in accordance with their respective Shares in the Company immediately prior to the Closing Date, via wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts designated in writing by Sellers at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Six-Month Payment Date, the Twelve-Month Payment Date or the Eighteen-Month Payment Date, as applicable.

(b) Calculation. Each “Contingent Payment” shall be (i) if the AUM Ratio is equal to or greater than 90%, $1,050,000, (ii) if the AUM Ratio is less than 90% but greater than 50%, an amount equal to the product of (A) the AUM Multiplier and (B) $1,050,000, or (iii) if the AUM Ratio is equal to or less than 50%, $0. By way of example, if the Asset Value as of the Baseline Date is $10,000,000 and the Asset Value as of the six-month anniversary of the Closing Date is $8,500,000, then (i) the applicable AUM Ratio would be equal to 0.85; (ii) the AUM Multiplier would be equal to (A) 1 minus (B) 0.125; and (iii) the Contingent Payment payable on such Six-Month Payment Date would be $918,750.

(i) “Asset Value” shall mean, as of any date of determination, the aggregate dollar amount of assets in the investment, custody and trust accounts under management by the Company.

(ii) “AUM Multiplier” shall mean the excess of (A) one (1) minus (B) a fraction expressed as a percentage, (I) the numerator of which is equal to the excess of (x) 0.90 minus (y) the applicable AUM Ratio, and (II) the denominator of which is 0.40.

(iii) “AUM Ratio” shall mean:

(A) with respect to the Contingent Payment payable on the Six-Month Payment Date, the quotient obtained by dividing (I) the Asset Value as of the six-month anniversary of the Closing Date by (II) the Asset Value as of the Baseline Date;

(B) with respect to the Contingent Payment payable on the Twelve-Month Payment Date, the quotient obtained by dividing (I) the Asset Value as of the twelve-month anniversary of the Closing Date by (II) the Asset Value as of the Baseline Date; and

(C) with respect to the Contingent Payment payable on the Eighteen-Month Payment Date, the quotient obtained by dividing (I) the Asset Value as of the eighteen-month anniversary of the Closing Date by (II) the Asset Value as of the Baseline Date.

(iv) “Six-Month Payment Date” shall mean the tenth Business Day following the six-month anniversary of the Closing Date.

(v) “Twelve-Month Payment Date” shall mean the tenth Business Day following the twelve-month anniversary of the Closing Date.

(vi) “Eighteen-Month Payment Date” shall mean the tenth Business Day following the eighteen-month anniversary of the Closing Date.

4. Allocation of Purchase Price.

4.1. In the event Buyer elects to make a 338(h)(10) Election as described in Section 12.6 herein, the Purchase Price shall be allocated as indicated on Schedule 4.

4.2. In the event Buyer elects to make a 338(h)(10) Election as described in Section 12.6 herein, the Parties agree to be bound by the Purchase Price allocation as set forth on Schedule 4 and to report the transaction contemplated herein for federal, state, and local tax purposes in accordance with such allocation.

All material Taxes due and owing by the Company, whether or not shown on any Tax Return, have been paid. The Company is not currently the beneficiary of any extension of time within which to file any Tax Return. No written claim has ever been made by a Governmental Body in a jurisdiction where the Company does not file a Tax Return that it is or may be subject to taxation by that jurisdiction. The Company is not responsible for the Taxes of any other Person as a transferee or successor by Contract or otherwise (including, without limitation, pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-6 or any similar provision of federal, state or foreign law), except with respect to Taxes of other members of the BPFH Affiliated Group.

(b) The Company has (i) withheld and paid all material Taxes required to have been withheld and paid in connection with any amounts paid or owing to any employee, independent contractor, creditor, shareholder, or other third party, and (ii) furnished or been furnished properly completed and valid exemption certificates for all exempt transactions (including, without limitation, transactions treated as exempt from sales, use, value added, ad valorem, transfer or other similar Taxes).

To the Knowledge of Seller Parties and Knowledge of the members of the BPFH Affiliated Group, no audit, examination or other administrative or judicial proceeding with respect to the Taxes or Tax Returns of the Company is presently in progress or pending. None of the Company, the BPFH Affiliated Group, the Seller Parties, or any shareholder, director or officer of the Company or the BPFH Affiliated Group have received from any foreign, federal, state or local Taxing Authority (including jurisdictions where the Company and/or the BPFH Affiliated Group has not filed Tax Returns) any written (i) notice indicating an intent to open or commence an audit, examination or other administrative or judicial proceeding or other review or investigation with respect to Tax matters; (ii) request for information related to Tax matters; or (iii) notice of deficiency or proposed adjustment for any amount of Tax proposed, asserted or assessed by any Taxing Authority against the Company.

The Company has fully accrued or reserved in the Financial Statements all Taxes for any periods on or prior to the Closing Date that are not yet due and payable as of the Closing Date and has made adequate provision in the Financial Statements for all current Taxes and assessments for which the Company is or may be held liable. The unpaid Taxes of the Company

(i) do not exceed the reserve for Tax liability (rather than any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) set forth on the December 31, 2011 balance sheet of the Company included in the Financial Statements and (ii) do not exceed the reserve as adjusted for the passage of time through the Closing Date in accordance with the past customs and practice of the Company in filing its Tax Returns.

(k) The Company is not and has not been a United States real property holding corporation within the meaning of Section 897(c)(2) of the Code during the applicable period specified in Section 897(c)(1)(A)(ii) of the Code. No Seller Party is a “foreign person” (as that term is defined in Section 1445 of the Code) and each Seller Party shall furnish to Buyer on or before the Closing Date certification of such Seller Party’s non-foreign status, as set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.1445-2(b).

(l) No closing agreements (within the meaning of Section 7121 of the Code or any comparable agreement under applicable Tax law), private letter rulings, technical advice memoranda or similar agreements or rulings relating to Taxes have been entered into or issued by a Taxing Authority with or in respect of the Company since February 1, 2008.

None of the assets of the Company is “tax-exempt use property” within the meaning of Section 168(h) of the Code.

(p) The Company is not a party to any joint venture, partnership, or other arrangement or Contract which could be treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes.

Until the last payment is made pursuant to Section 3 on the Eighteen-Month Payment Date, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (a) preserve the Business; (b) maintain the clients of the Business; and (c) preserve the goodwill of the Business.

10. Mutual Covenants.

10.1. Transfer and Retention of Client Accounts. Seller Parties and Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other in doing, all things necessary, proper, and advisable to facilitate the orderly transfer and retention of the Clients of the Business, including, but not limited to, preparing and sending marketing and informational materials to Clients explaining the sale of the Business and hosting, attending and/or speaking at individual or group meetings with Clients to discuss the sale. This covenant of Seller Parties to assist and cooperate with Buyer concerning the retention of the Business shall survive Closing until the Eighteen-Month Payment Date.

10.2. Commercially Reasonable Efforts; Cooperation. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the Parties agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other Parties in doing, all things necessary, proper, and advisable to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to obtain satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, (a) identifying and obtaining all of the necessary Consents from Governmental Bodies and other third parties and the making of all filings and the taking of all steps as may be necessary to obtain Consent from, or to avoid a Proceeding by, any Governmental Body or other third party and (b) executing and delivering any additional instruments necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by, and to fully carry out the purposes of, this Agreement, but in no event shall “commercially reasonable efforts” be deemed to require the payment of any cash or other consideration by any Party. In the event that a Party determines that a condition to its obligation to complete the transactions contemplated hereby cannot be fulfilled and that it will not waive that condition, it will promptly notify the other Party.

11. Restrictive Covenants.

11.1. Non-BPFH Seller Parties Covenant Not to Solicit. In order to preserve for Buyer the value of the Shares and the goodwill of the Business, each Seller Party

(other than BPFH) (each such Seller Party, other than BPFH, a “Restricted Seller Party”) agrees that, for a period of three (3) years after the Closing Date, such Restricted Seller Party shall not, without the prior written consent of Buyer:

(a) directly or indirectly (i) solicit or accept business from any Person that at any time during the Restricted Period is or was a client of, or Prospective Client (as such term is defined below) contacted by, the Company, (ii) solicit, entice or induce any Person that at any time during the Restricted Period is or was a client of, or Prospective Client contacted by, the Company to become a client of any other Person, or (iii) otherwise interfere with the relationship of the Company with any such client or Prospective Client;

(b) directly or indirectly employ, attempt to employ, recruit or otherwise solicit, induce or influence any Person to leave employment with the Company; or

(c) directly or indirectly request, induce, advise, solicit or encourage any customer or supplier to withdraw, curtail, diminish, terminate, cancel or otherwise modify adversely its business relationship with the Company.

The provisions of subsections (a), (b) and (c) are intended to prohibit actions taken directly by a Restricted Seller Party or indirectly by a Restricted Seller Party through another Person, either as an owner, partner, shareholder, consultant, agent, employee, co-venturer or otherwise. For purposes of this Section 11.1, the term “Prospective Client” shall be limited to those Persons set forth on Schedule 11.1.

11.2. BPFH Covenant Not to Solicit. In order to preserve for Buyer the value of the Shares and the goodwill of the Business, and in all cases subject to Section 11.4, BPFH agrees that, for a period of three (3) years after the Closing Date, BPFH shall not, without the prior written consent of Buyer:

(a) directly or indirectly (i) solicit or accept business from any Person that is or was a client of the Company as of the date of this Agreement or as of the Closing Date, (ii) solicit, entice or induce any Person that is or was a client of the Company as of the date of this Agreement or as of the Closing Date to become a client of any other Person, or (iii) otherwise interfere with the relationship of the Company with any Person that is or was a client of the Company as of the date of this Agreement or as of the Closing Date;

(b) directly or indirectly employ, attempt to employ, recruit or otherwise solicit, induce or influence any Person to leave employment with the Company (other than by general advertisement not specifically targeted to any such Person employed by the Company); or

(c) directly or indirectly request, induce, advise, solicit or encourage any current customer or supplier of the Company to withdraw, curtail, diminish, terminate, cancel or otherwise modify adversely its business relationship with the Company.

The provisions of subsections (a), (b) and (c) are intended to prohibit actions taken directly by BPFH or indirectly by BPFH through another Person.

11.3. BPFH Covenant Not to Compete. In order to preserve for Buyer the value of the Shares and the goodwill of the Business, and in all cases subject to Section 11.4, BPFH agrees that for a period of three (3) years after the Closing Date, BPFH shall not, without the prior written consent of Buyer, directly or indirectly engage or invest in, own, manage, operate or control, participate, or render services or advice to any other business anywhere in the Restricted Area which produces any products, provides any services or engages in any activities which are competitive with the products, services or activities being produced, provided or engaged in by the Company as of the date of this Agreement.

11.4. Permitted Activities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Sections 11.2 and 11.3, (i) BPFH may own stock in any publicly held company, provided the amount thereof shall not exceed 5% of the issued and outstanding stock of such publicly held company and (ii) KLS Professional Advisors Group, LLC, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxxxxxx, LLC, Dalton, Greiner, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx & Co., LLC, Anchor Capital Advisors, LLC, and Boston Private Bank & Trust Company, each a Subsidiary of BPFH (collectively, the “BPFH Affiliates”), may provide wealth advisory, investment management and banking services to any Person (whether or not any such Person is located in the Restricted Area) other than a Person that is or was a client of the Company as of the date of this Agreement or as of the Closing Date; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prohibit any BPFH Affiliate from continuing to provide any services to any Person that is a client of the Company if such BPFH Affiliate already provides services to such Person as of the date of this Agreement.

11.5. Confidentiality. Following the Closing, no Seller Party shall, directly or indirectly, use or disclose or divulge any trade secrets or other Proprietary Information of the Company, Buyer or any of its Related Persons, including information of others that such parties have agreed to keep confidential, nor any information relating to the financial terms of this transaction; provided that the foregoing restriction shall not apply to information (a) which is lawfully and independently obtained by such Seller Party from a third party without restriction as to disclosure by such Seller Party, (b) which is in the public domain or enters into the public domain through no fault of such Seller Party, or (c) such Seller Party is required to disclose by Legal Requirements, including rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC; provided, however, that such Seller Party has provided prior written notice to Buyer of such requirement and reasonably cooperates with Buyer if it seeks to obtain a protective order.

11.6. Material Inducement; Severability of Covenants. Each Seller Party acknowledges and agrees that its willingness to be bound by the Restrictive Covenants was a material inducement to Buyer’s willingness to enter into this Agreement, and that Buyer would not have entered into this Agreement but for each such Seller Party’s willingness to be bound by the Restrictive Covenants. Each Seller Party acknowledges and agrees that each Restrictive Covenant is reasonable and valid in geographical and temporal scope, subject matter and in all other respects, and is necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of Buyer. If any court determines the Restrictive Covenants, or any part thereof, are invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the Restrictive Covenants shall not thereby be affected and shall be given full effect, without regard to the invalid portions, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. If any court determines that any Restrictive Covenant, or any part thereof, is unenforceable because of the duration or geographic scope or subject matter of

such provision (or for any other reason), it is the Parties’ intention that such court shall have the power to reduce the duration or scope or subject matter of such provision, as the case may be, and, in its reduced form, such provision shall then be enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

11.7. Relief for Violation. Each Seller Party acknowledges that an irreparable injury will result to Buyer and/or the Company and their businesses in the event of a breach by such Seller Party of a Restrictive Covenant. Each Seller Party also acknowledges and agrees that the damages or injuries which Buyer and/or the Company may sustain as a result of a breach by such Seller Party of Section 11.1, 11.2 or 11.3 of this Agreement are difficult to ascertain and money damages alone will not be an adequate remedy to Buyer and/or the Company. Each Seller Party therefore agrees that in the event of such breach or threatened breach of Section 11.1, 11.2 or 11.3, Buyer and/or the Company shall also be entitled to obtain any equitable remedy, including any injunctive relief, necessary to prevent or restrain any violation or threatened violation of Section 11.1, 11.2 or 11.3 of this Agreement, without the necessity of posting a bond. Such relief, however, shall be cumulative and non-exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedy to which the Parties may be entitled.

12. Tax Matters.

12.1. Indemnification for and Allocation of and Procedures Regarding Taxes.

(a) Without limiting any Seller Party’s indemnification obligations under Section 13 hereof, the Seller Parties shall be responsible for and shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold the Company and the Buyer Indemnified Persons harmless from, and shall pay to the Company and the Buyer Indemnified Persons the amount of, or reimburse the Company and the Buyer Indemnified Persons for, any Adverse Consequences arising out of, or in connection with, whether directly or indirectly (i) Taxes imposed on the Company (or any Buyer Indemnified Person as successor or transferee of the Company) or with respect to the assets or business of the Company for any taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date and for the portion of any Straddle Tax Period ending on the Closing Date (“Pre-Closing Tax Periods”), (ii) the obligation of Seller Parties for Taxes pursuant to Section 12.3, and (iii) Taxes (A) of any member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group of which the Company is or was a member on or prior to the Closing Date or (B) of any Person imposed on the Company as a transferee or successor, by operation of law or pursuant to any tax sharing, tax indemnity, tax allocation or other similar agreement, which Taxes relate to either a liability existing or to an event or transaction occurring on or before the Closing Date.

(b) Without limiting any of the indemnification obligations of Buyer under Section 13 hereof, Buyer shall be responsible for and shall indemnify and hold the Seller Parties, their Representatives and their respective successors and assigns harmless from, and shall pay to the Seller Parties, their Representatives and their respective successors and assigns the amount of, or reimburse the Seller Parties, their Representatives and their respective successors and assigns for (i) Taxes imposed on the Company for any taxable period beginning after the Closing Date and for the portion of any Straddle Period beginning after the Closing

Date, (ii) the obligation of Buyer for Taxes pursuant to Section 12.3, and (iii) all Section 338(h)(10) Incremental Taxes incurred as a result of the Section 338(h)(10) Election as described in Section 12.6 herein.

(c) In the case of Taxes that are payable with respect to any taxable period that includes but does not end on the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), such Taxes shall be apportioned between the period deemed to end on the Closing Date and the period deemed to begin on the day following the Closing Date on the basis of an interim closing of the books, except that Taxes imposed on a periodic basis (such as real or personal property Taxes) shall be allocated on a daily basis.

(d) Any indemnity payment made hereunder shall be treated by Sellers and Buyer as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

12.2. Filing of Tax Returns.

(a) The BPFH Affiliated Group shall include the income of the Company (including any deferred items triggered into income by Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-13 and any excess loss account taken into income under Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-19) on the consolidated federal income Tax Return of the BPFH Affiliated Group for all periods ending on or before the Closing Date and shall pay any federal income Tax attributable to such income. For all taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date, to the extent not already filed, the BPFH Affiliated Group shall cause the Company to join in the consolidated federal income Tax Return of the BPFH Affiliated Group and, in jurisdictions requiring separate reporting from the Company, to file state and local income Tax Returns. All such Tax Returns shall be prepared (or cause to be prepared) and filed (or caused to be filed) by the BPFH Affiliated Group in a manner reasonably consistent with past practice. At least 30 days prior to the filing of any such separate-company Tax Return, Sellers shall provide Buyer with a copy of such Tax Return for Buyer’s review and comment.

(b) Buyer shall prepare (or cause to be prepared) and file (or cause to be filed) all Tax Returns of the Company for all taxable periods other than those for which the BPFH Affiliated Group is responsible pursuant to Section 12.2(a) of this Agreement, provided however, that with respect to any such Tax Returns for a Straddle Period, Buyer shall prepare (or cause to be prepared) such Tax Returns in a manner reasonably consistent with past practice of the Company. At least 30 days prior to the filing of any such Tax Return with respect to a Straddle Period, Buyer shall provide Sellers with a copy of the Tax Return for Sellers’ review and comment, and Buyer shall make any changes with respect to Pre-Closing Tax Periods reasonably requested by Sellers. Along with the copy of such Tax Return with respect to a Straddle Period, Buyer shall provide Sellers with a statement calculating in reasonable detail any obligations of Sellers and/or the BPFH Affiliated Group with respect to Taxes for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, if any, pursuant to Section 12.1(a).

12.3. Certain Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes and fees (including, without limitation, any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and any other similar Tax that may be imposed, shall be paid 50% by Seller Parties and 50%

by Buyer, and Seller Parties will file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other Taxes and fees, and, if required by applicable Legal Requirements, Buyer will join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.

12.4. Procedures Relating to Tax Claims.

(a) If Buyer or the Company receives notice of a pending audit of the Company, or if an assessment or written claim for Taxes shall be made by any Taxing Authority, which audit, assessment or claim, if successful, might result in a payment to Buyer pursuant to Section 12.1(a) or Section 13.1 or for breach of any representation or warranty under Section 6.13 (a “Tax Claim”), Buyer or the Company shall forward a copy of such Tax Claim to Seller Parties’ Representative within ten (10) days of receipt of such Tax Claim. If Buyer or the Company fails to forward a copy of such Tax Claim within such period, Seller Parties shall not be liable to the Company or the Buyer Indemnified Persons to the extent Seller Parties’ position with respect to such Tax Claim is prejudiced as a result of such failure.

(b) Seller Parties shall have the right to participate with Buyer in any Tax audit or administrative or court proceeding related to Pre-Closing Tax Periods, and to employ counsel of their choice at their expense. Buyer agrees that it will cooperate, and cause the Company to cooperate, fully with Seller Parties and Seller Parties’ counsel in the defense against any Tax Claim. Buyer shall have the sole right to represent the Company in any Tax audit or administrative or court proceeding related to taxable periods beginning after the Closing Date, and to employ counsel of its choice at its expense. Seller Parties agree to cooperate, at their expense, fully with Buyer and its counsel in the defense against any claim in any said proceeding. Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller Parties shall not agree to any settlement concerning Taxes for any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date, which settlement may result in an increase in Taxes of the Company for any taxable period ending after the Closing Date, without the prior written consent of Buyer, nor shall Buyer agree to any settlement concerning Taxes for any taxable period ending after the Closing Date which may result in an increase in Taxes of the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, without the prior written consent of Seller Parties. Any consent required to be given under this Section may not be unreasonably withheld.

(c) After the Closing Date, Seller Parties and Buyer shall consult in good faith during the course of any audits or administrative or judicial proceedings pertaining to Taxes of, or which may affect, the Company for Pre-Closing Tax Periods. Such consultations shall include, but not be limited to, consultations concerning any ongoing or future audits related to any period or portion thereof ending prior to or including the Closing Date and court proceedings with respect thereto. Buyer or Seller Parties, as the case may be, shall be made aware of any meetings and conferences related thereto and have the right (to the extent permissible by law) to have a representative present at those conferences.

12.5. Cooperation, Exchange of Information and Record Retention. Each of the Parties recognizes that the other Party and its Affiliates will need access, from time to time, after the Closing Date, to certain accounting and Tax records and information regarding Tax matters of the Company to the extent such records and information pertain to

events occurring on or prior to the Closing Date; therefore, from and after the Closing Date, Sellers and Buyer shall, and shall cause their Affiliates (including, in the case of Buyer, the Company) to (i) retain and maintain all records, including all Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, books, records and other documents in its or their possession relating to Tax matters of the Company for each Pre-Closing Tax Period and for any Straddle Period until expiration of the statute of limitations of the taxable periods to which such Tax Returns and other documents relate (giving effect to any valid extensions requested by the other party and made known to the party requesting such documentation) plus six (6) months, (ii) allow the other Party or Parties (as appropriate) and its or their agents and representatives (and agents or representatives of any Affiliates), upon reasonable notice and at mutually convenient times, to inspect, review and make copies of such records (at the expense of the party or parties requesting the records) as such party or parties may deem reasonably necessary or appropriate from time to time, (iii) execute any document (including any power of attorney) that may be necessary or reasonably helpful in connection with any Tax Claim or the filing of a Tax Return or refund with respect to the Company and (iv) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, books, records and other documents and provide additional facts, insights or views as reasonably requested by the other Party or Parties, in each case, that may be necessary or helpful in connection with any Tax Returns or Tax Claims of the Company. Buyer shall cause the Company to provide Sellers with written notice ninety (90) days prior to transferring, destroying or discarding the last copy of any records, books, work papers, reports, correspondence and other similar materials, and Sellers shall have the right, at their expense, to copy or take any such materials. Any information obtained under this Section 12.5 shall be kept confidential except as may be otherwise necessary in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or claims for refund or in conducting an audit or other proceeding.

12.6. Section 338(h)(10) Election. At Buyer’s option, the Selling Consolidated Group and Buyer shall join in making (or causing to be made) a joint election with respect to the purchase of the Shares of the Company hereunder pursuant to Section 338(h)(10) of the Code (“Section 338(h)(10) Election”). Buyer shall exercise its option with respect to a Section 338(h)(10) Election by written notice to BPFH (The “Section 338(h)(10) Notice”). The terms, conditions and procedures relating to the section 338(h)(10) Election are set forth in Schedule 12.6.

(a) On the later of the Closing Date or the date of the Section 338(h)(10) Notice, Buyer shall pay to each Seller, such Seller’s proportionate share of the Section 338(h)(10) Incremental Taxes (as defined below) as estimated by the Selling Consolidated Group and Buyer. If such estimate of the Section 338(h)(10) Incremental Taxes is less than the Section 338(h)(10) Incremental Taxes as calculated when Sellers’ Tax Returns are actually filed, Buyer shall pay Sellers the difference. Conversely, if the estimate of the Section 338(h)(10) Incremental Taxes is greater than the Section 338(h)(10) Incremental Taxes as calculated when the Sellers’ Tax Returns are actually filed, Sellers shall pay Buyer such excess.

(b) The “Section 338(h)(10) Incremental Taxes” shall equal the difference between (A) the Taxes payable by Sellers on the sale of all of the Shares after taking into account the Section 338(h)(10) Election (including any payments under this subsection (b)) and taking into account the amount, character and timing of the income subject to Tax, and (B)

the amount of Taxes that would have been payable on the sale of all of the Shares by Sellers without the Section 338(h)(10) Election and taking into account the amount, character and timing of the income subject to Tax.

(c) The Parties agree that the payment of the Section 338(h)(10) Incremental Taxes shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, added to any other adjustments specified in this Agreement. The Section 338(h)(10) Incremental Taxes (as estimated at Closing and as redetermined upon the filing of Sellers’ Tax Returns) shall be calculated by the Sellers and submitted to Buyer for its approval along with supporting work papers. Such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. If the parties are unable to agree as to the amount of the Section 338(h)(10) Incremental Taxes, Buyer shall promptly pay any undisputed amount and any disputed amount shall be resolved by a nationally recognized independent accounting firm mutually acceptable to Buyer and Sellers whose costs shall be borne jointly by Buyer and Sellers.

(d) In the event a Section 338(h)(10) Election is made, the Parties agree that the Purchase Price and the liabilities of the Company (plus other relevant items) will be allocated to the assets of the Company for all purposes (including Tax and financial accounting purposes) as described in Schedule 12.6 subsection (b).

12.7. Tax Attributes. In the event Buyer does not elect to make a Section 338(h)(10) Election, Sellers shall promptly provide Buyer with the following information regarding the Company as of the Closing Date: (i) the basis of the Company in its assets; and (ii) the amount of any unused net operating loss, unused net capital loss, unused investment or other credit, unused foreign tax credit, or unused excess charitable contribution allocable to the Company.

12.8. Survival of Tax Provisions. Any claim to be made pursuant to this Section 12 must be made before the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (giving effect to any valid extensions) relating to the Taxes at issue plus 60 days.

12.9. Other Tax Provisions.

(a) During the period from the date of this Agreement and continuing until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to its terms or the Closing Date, neither the Company nor any Seller Party (with respect to the Business) shall make or change any material election in respect of Taxes, adopt or change any accounting method in respect of Taxes, enter into any closing agreement, settle any claim or assessment in respect of Taxes (except settlements effected solely through payment of immaterial sums of money), or consent to any extension or waiver of the limitation period applicable to any claim or assessment in respect of Taxes.

(b) Seller Parties shall make available for Buyer’s inspection, as reasonably requested, copies of those federal, state, county, local and foreign Tax Returns, reports and estimates for periods on or prior to the Closing Date for the Company to the extent not previously provided to Buyer.

(c) Seller Parties shall cause any and all Tax allocation or sharing agreements (including any indemnity arrangements) or similar agreements or arrangements (collectively “Tax Sharing Agreements”) to which the Company is a party or is otherwise subject to be terminated effective as of the Closing Date, and any payment, liability or other obligation with respect to any such Tax Sharing Agreements shall be paid or satisfied on or prior to the Closing Date.

12.10. Refund Claims. Except as otherwise provided herein, Sellers shall be entitled to receive from Buyer all refunds (or credits for overpayments actually realized by Buyer) of Taxes, including any interest thereon received from any Taxing Authority, attributable to Pre-Closing Tax Periods. Promptly upon receipt of any such Tax refund (or credits for overpayment actually realized by Buyer), and in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after receipt by Buyer, Buyer will, and will cause Company to, deliver and pay over, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, such Tax refunds (or credits for overpayments actually realized by Buyer), including any interest thereon received from any Taxing Authority, less any fees and expenses Buyer incurs for obtaining such refund, to Sellers. Buyer shall, as soon as is reasonably practicable and in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after a reasonable request by Sellers, cause the Company to file, at Sellers’ expense, amended Tax Returns or applications for Tax refunds in order to obtain a Tax refund (or credit for overpayment actually realized by Buyer) that Sellers are entitled to pursuant to this Section 12.10, and Buyer shall execute all other documents, take reasonable additional actions and otherwise reasonably cooperate as may be necessary for Buyer to perfect its rights in and obtain the Tax refunds contemplated by this Section 12.10. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Sellers shall not be entitled to any refunds or credits for overpayment to the extent such items are taken into account on the financial statements of the Company or in the reserve account provided for in Section 14.2(g).

12.11. Certain Tax Attributes. Any tax loss or tax credit of the Company, the economic benefit of which is realized in a period ending after the Closing Date, shall be for the account of Buyer, and Buyer shall not be obligated to pay any additional consideration to Sellers therefor. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Section applies to any tax loss or credit generated in any period ending on, prior to or including the Closing Date, which may be carried forward and utilized on returns for any period ending after the Closing Date.

13. Indemnification.

13.1. Obligation to Indemnify.

(a) Seller Parties’ Obligation to Indemnify. From and after the Closing Date, Seller Parties shall, jointly and severally, defend, indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, its Representatives and its successors (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Persons”) and assigns, from and against any and all first and third party actions, suits, claims, demands, debts, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, costs and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys, experts and consultants fees) (collectively “Adverse Consequences”), arising out of, or in connection with, or caused by, directly or indirectly, any or all of the following: (i) any misrepresentation or breach of any warranty or representation made by the

Company or any Seller Party in this Agreement or in any Seller Party Closing Documents; and (ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement made or to be performed by the Company or any Seller Party pursuant to this Agreement or in any Seller Party Closing Documents; provided, however, that all Adverse Consequences with respect to Taxes shall be limited to Adverse Consequences relating to Pre-Closing Tax Periods.

(b) Buyer’s Obligation to Indemnify. From and after the Closing Date, Buyer shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Seller Parties, their respective Representatives and their respective successors (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Persons”), from and against any and all Adverse Consequences, arising out of, or in connection with, or caused by, directly or indirectly, any or all of the following: (i) any misrepresentation or breach of any warranty or representation made by Buyer in this Agreement or in any Buyer Closing Document; (ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement made or to be performed by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement or in any Buyer Closing Documents; and (iii) all Section 338(h)(10) Incremental Taxes incurred as a result of the Section 338(h)(10) Election as described in Section 12.6 herein; provided, however, that Buyer’s obligations under this Section 13.1(b) shall not extend to any Adverse Consequences caused wholly or in part by the actions or omissions of BPPA or BPFH after the Closing Date.

13.2. Matters Involving Third Parties.

(a) The party or parties seeking indemnification hereunder (each, an “Indemnified Party”) shall give the party or parties from whom indemnification is sought or to be sought (each, an “Indemnifying Party”) prompt written notice of any Adverse Consequences suffered by, affecting or otherwise directed at it. If an indemnification claim involves a claim by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party thereof in writing; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) the Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced thereby.

(b) The Indemnifying Party will have the right, but not the obligation, to defend the Indemnified Party against the Third Party Claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party so long as (i) the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to assume the defense of the Third-Party Claim within fifteen (15) days after the Indemnified Party gives notice of the assertion of the Third-Party Claim under Section 13.2(a), (ii) the Indemnifying Party provides the Indemnified Party with evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party will have the financial resources to defend against the Third Party Claim and fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder, (iii) the Third Party Claim involves only money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief, (iv) settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the Third Party Claim is not, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, likely to establish a precedential custom or practice adverse to the continuing business interests of the Indemnified Party, and (v) the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently.

(c) So long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 13.2(b) above, (i) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim, (ii) the Indemnified 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 Indemnifying Party (not to be withheld unreasonably), and (iii) 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 withheld unreasonably).

(d) In the event any of the conditions in Section 13.2(b) above is or becomes unsatisfied, however, (i) the Indemnified Party may defend against, and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to, the Third Party Claim in any manner it reasonably may deem appropriate (and the Indemnified Party need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith), (ii) the Indemnifying Party will reimburse the Indemnified Party promptly and periodically (at least monthly) for the costs of defending against the Third Party Claim (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses), and (iii) the Indemnifying Party will remain responsible for any Adverse Consequences the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third Party Claim to the fullest extent provided in this Section 13.

(e) Claims with respect to Taxes shall be governed by Section 12.4 and this Section 13.2 shall only apply to the extent a procedure regarding Taxes is not otherwise provided for in Section 12.4.

13.3. Payments.
