5.6 Headings. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

5.7 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their permitted successors and assigns. The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Purchaser (other than by merger). Any Purchaser may assign any of its rights under this Agreement to any Person to whom such Purchaser assigns or transfers any Shares, provided that such transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Shares, by the provisions of the Transaction Documents that apply to the Purchasers.

5.8 Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person.

5.9 Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal Laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of laws thereof. Each party agrees that all Proceedings concerning the interpretation, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective Affiliates, employees or agents) shall occur, on an exclusive basis, in the state or federal courts located in the City, County and State of New York (the “New York Courts”). Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the New York Courts for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any Proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such New York Court, or that such Proceeding has been commenced in an improper or inconvenient forum. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such Proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by Law. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

5.10 Waiver of Fiduciary Obligations; Informed Consent. By executing this Agreement, each Purchaser does hereby:

(a)

acknowledge and understand that Steven Sugarman who is the President of the Company, a member of the Board of Directors of the Company and a significant stockholder of the Company is also an “Of Counsel” attorney at Michelman & Robinson, LLP (“M&R”), the law firm that has acted as legal counsel to the Company in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and Mr. Sugarman has not acted nor is acting as an attorney in connection with such transaction and none of his communications with any Purchaser should be construed as legal advice;

(b)

acknowledge and understand that actual or potential conflicts of interest may exist or arise by reason of Mr. Sugarman also serving as an officer of the Company and/or member of the Board;

(c)

acknowledge and agree that Mr. Sugarman in his capacity as an officer of the Company and/or member of the Board does not owe any fiduciary or other duty to the Purchasers, other than such non-waivable fiduciary duties imposed upon directors and officers under the laws of the State of Connecticut and applicable banking laws and regulations;

(d)

waive any actual or potential conflicts of interest in connection with M&R acting as legal counsel to the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and by their execution of this Agreement give their informed written consent to the foregoing acknowledgements in this Agreement; and

(e)

acknowledge and understand that each such Purchaser is encouraged to seek independent legal counsel to review the terms of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and ensure that such Purchaser’s interests are protected. By his, her or its signature hereto, each such Purchaser acknowledges the fact that such Purchaser has consulted, or has had the opportunity to consult, with the legal counsel of his, her or its choice prior to his, her or its execution of this Agreement.

5.11 Concurrent Separate Private Placement of Warrants. Concurrent with and separate from this Offering, the Company has offered for sale to certain investors, in a private placement pursuant to Rule 506(b) of Regulation D, a three-year warrant entitling the holder to purchase shares of Non-Voting Common Stock or, subject to compliance with the Non-Control Conditions, Voting Common Stock. Subject to the Non-Control Conditions, any Non-Voting Common Stock issued upon exercise of such warrants may be exchanged for an equal number of shares of Voting Common Stock. The proceeds from such sale shall be used for general corporate purposes, which may include capital expenditures, working capital and general and administrative expenses.

5.12 Confidential Supervisory Information. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no disclosure, representation or warranty shall be made (or other action taken) pursuant to this Agreement that would involve the disclosure of confidential supervisory information (including “confidential supervisory information” as defined in 12 C.F.R. § 261.2(b), “non-public OCC information” as defined in 12 C.F.R. § 4.32(b) and “exempt information” as defined in 12 C.F.R. § 309.5(g)) of a Governmental Entity by any party to this Agreement to the extent prohibited by applicable law. To the extent legally permissible, appropriate substitute disclosures or actions shall be made or taken under circumstances in which the limitations of the preceding sentence apply.

5.13 Survival. The representations and warranties of the Purchasers contained herein shall survive the Closing, and the delivery of the Shares.

5.14 Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to each other party, it being understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature on this Agreement is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a legally valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.

5.15 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

5.16 Replacement of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Shares is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof (in the case of mutilation), or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity or bond, if requested. The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement Shares.

5.17 Remedies. Each of the Purchasers and the Company shall be entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, for any breach of the Transaction Documents.

5.18 Construction. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel has reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments hereto.
