Purchaser shall promptly remit to Seller the Warranty Amount, or the maximum amount Purchaser is able to debit such account by or to otherwise obtain from such Deposit accountholder, if less than the Warranty Amount.

4.16 Environmental Study. (a) Purchaser may, at Purchaser’s election and expense and subject to any landlord’s approval or consent as may be required and prior notice to Seller of the date and time of any such inspections and examinations, within thirty (30) calendar days from the date of this Agreement, undertake and complete an environmental study for the existence of any and all environmental conditions and any and all violations of environmental laws, as is commonly referred to as a Phase I environmental study (“Environmental Study”) with respect to the Real Property, as Purchaser deems necessary or appropriate. Such Environmental Studies shall be conducted in a manner and at times so as to not unreasonably disrupt Seller’s business operations of the Branches. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall not conduct any invasive testing or Phase II Environmental Site Assessment on any Owned Real Property without the prior written consent of Seller (which consent will not unreasonably be withheld or delayed), and coordinating the scope of such work with Seller or Seller’s consultants, as applicable. If reasonably necessary for proper conduct and completion of on-site sampling for a Phase II Environmental Site Assessment, or Baseline Environmental Assessment as defined under the laws of the State of Florida, this time period shall be subject to reasonable extensions, not to exceed thirty (30) calendar days following the expiration of the initial thirty (30) calendar day period. Purchaser shall maintain liability insurance and shall indemnify Seller for any and all Losses incurred by Seller, any of its Affiliates and/or third parties while Purchaser and its agents are performing any Environmental Study. In the event of any damage to the Branches, Seller shall be entitled to require Purchaser to engage workmen reasonably acceptable to Seller to restore any such damage to the same condition as the Branches were in prior to the inspection.

(b) If Purchaser shall discover a Material Defect as a result of Purchaser’s inspections and examinations undertaken in accordance with Section 4.16(a), Purchaser shall give Seller written notice as soon as possible (but in no event later than the expiration of the thirty (30) calendar day period, or the additional thirty (30) calendar day period if subject to an extension for testing as provided in Section 4.16(a)) describing, in reasonable detail, the facts or conditions constituting such Material Defect and the measures which Purchaser reasonably believes are necessary to correct such Material Defect.

(c) If Seller does not elect to cure any such Material Defect or is unable to cure such Material Defect to Purchaser’s reasonable satisfaction at least ten (10) calendar days prior to the Closing, and Purchaser does not elect to waive such Material Defect, Seller shall be responsible for the reasonable costs and expenses Purchaser may incur to repair and remediate the Material Defect up to a maximum of $250,000. In the event that the amount of expense or liability which Purchaser would be reasonably likely to incur to correct the applicable “Recognized Environmental Condition” resulting in a Material Defect will exceed $100,000, then Purchaser may elect (as its sole remedy), either (i) if the Branches are not capable of continued operation consistent with past practice without threat to Purchaser employee health or safety, this Agreement may be terminated, or (ii) if the Branches are capable of continued operation consistent with past practice without threat to Purchaser employee health or safety and constitutes Owned Real Property, to enter into a lease thereof from Seller for a duration of at least two (2) years and not more than five (5) years on customary terms and at a rate consistent with market rates for similar properties within the geographic vicinity to be agreed by the parties in good faith (an “Excluded Branch”). If a Branch becomes an Excluded Branch, then any real property associated with the Excluded Branch shall no longer be deemed to be “Owned Real Property,” and all other assets and liabilities associated with the Excluded Branch shall no longer be deemed to be Assets and Assumed Liabilities, except that all of the Deposits (including Deposits in XXX/Keoghs and related account agreements), the Loans (plus Accrued Interest with respect to such Loans, as well as the collateral for the Loans, the Loan Documents and, to the extent owned, the servicing rights related thereto pursuant to Section 2.4), the Negative Deposits and the Safe Deposit Agreements associated with the Excluded Branch shall remain Assets and/or Assumed Liabilities, as the case may be. If a Branch becomes an Excluded Branch, then the consideration to be paid by Purchaser shall be reduced by the Owned Real Property Value.

(d) No information, contents or results of any Environmental Study conducted pursuant to this Section 4.16, including the contents of the report issued in connection therewith, shall be disclosed by Purchaser or its agents, consultants or employees to any third party without Seller’s prior written approval, unless and until Purchaser is legally compelled to make such disclosure under applicable laws or until the P&A Transaction is consummated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser may disclose such matters to its directors, executive officers, legal counsel, financial advisor and such employees who are reasonably required to receive such disclosure (such parties being referred to as “Purchaser” for purposes of this section), and the specific identities of such persons shall be supplied to Seller prior to any permitted disclosure by Purchaser. If this Agreement is terminated for any reason in accordance with the terms of Section 10.1, Purchaser shall immediately deliver and/or return to Seller any and all documents, plans and other items furnished to Purchaser pursuant to this Section 4.16. The confidentiality and limitations on disclosure of any information by Purchaser as set forth herein at this Section 4.16 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

6.1 Corporate Organization and Authority. Purchaser is a federally chartered stock savings bank, duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States of America and has the requisite power and authority to conduct the business conducted at the Branches substantially as currently conducted by Seller. Purchaser has the requisite corporate power and authority and has taken all corporate action necessary in order to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. Assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by Seller, this Agreement is a valid and binding agreement of Purchaser enforceable against Purchaser in accordance with its terms subject, as to enforcement, to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles.

6.2 No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other instruments and documents contemplated hereby by Purchaser does not, and will not, (i) violate any provision of its charter or by-laws or (ii) subject to Regulatory Approvals, violate or constitute a breach of, or default under, any law, rule, regulation, judgment, decree, ruling or order of any Regulatory Authority to which Purchaser is subject or any agreement or instrument of Purchaser, or to which Purchaser is subject or by which Purchaser is otherwise bound, which violation, breach, contravention or default referred to in this clause (ii), individually or in the aggregate, would be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

6.3 Approvals and Consents. Other than the Regulatory Approvals, no notices, reports or other filings are required to be made by Purchaser with, nor are any consents, registrations, approvals, permits or authorizations required to be obtained by Purchaser from, any governmental or regulatory authorities of the United States or the several States in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Purchaser and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby by Purchaser, the failure to make or obtain any or all of which, individually or in the aggregate, would be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

6.4 Regulatory Matters. (a) There are no pending or, to Purchaser’s knowledge, threatened disputes or controversies between Purchaser and any federal, state or local governmental agency or authority that, individually or in the aggregate, would be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) Neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates are a party to any written order, decree, agreement or memorandum of understanding with, or commitment letter or similar submission to, any federal or state regulatory agency or authority charged with the supervision or regulation of depository institutions, nor has Purchaser been advised by any such agency or authority that such agency or authority is contemplating issuing or requesting any such order, decree, agreement, memorandum of understanding, commitment letter or submission, in each case which, individually or in the aggregate, would be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(d) Purchaser is, and on a pro forma basis giving effect to the P&A Transaction, will be, (i) at least “well capitalized” (as that term is defined at 12 C.F.R. 5.39(d)(11) or the relevant regulation of Purchaser’s primary federal bank regulator), and (ii) in compliance with all capital requirements, standards and ratios required by each state or federal bank regulator with jurisdiction over Purchaser, including any such higher requirement, standard or ratio as shall apply to institutions engaging in the acquisition of insured institution deposits, assets or Branches, and no such regulator has indicated that it may, condition any of the Regulatory Approvals upon an increase in Purchaser’s capital or compliance with any capital requirement, standard or ratio.

(e) Purchaser has no reason to believe that, as of the date hereof, it will be required to divest deposit liabilities, Branches, loans or any business or line of business, or raise capital or achieve increased regulatory capital ratios or otherwise modify its financial condition or business at the request of any Regulatory Authority as a condition to the receipt of any of the Regulatory Approvals.

(f) Each of the subsidiaries or Affiliates of Purchaser that is an insured depository institution was rated “Satisfactory” or “Outstanding” for performance under the Community Reinvestment Act (the “CRA”) following its most recent CRA performance examination by a Regulatory Authority. Purchaser has neither been informed that its current rating will or may be lowered in connection with a pending or future examination for CRA performance nor does it have knowledge of the existence of any fact or circumstance or set of facts or circumstances that could reasonably be expected to result in Purchaser having its current rating lowered.

(g) Purchaser has received no notice of and has no knowledge of any planned or threatened objection by any community group to the transactions contemplated hereby.

6.5 Litigation and Undisclosed Liabilities. There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to Purchaser’s knowledge, threatened against Purchaser, or obligations or liabilities (whether or not accrued, contingent or otherwise) or, to Purchaser’s knowledge, facts or circumstances that could reasonably be expected to result in any claims against or obligations or liabilities of Purchaser that, individually or in the aggregate, would have a Material Adverse Effect.

6.6 Operation of the Branches. Purchaser intends to continue to provide retail and business banking services in the geographical area served by the Branches.

6.7 Brokers’ Fees. Purchaser has not employed any broker or finder or incurred any liability for any brokerage fees, commissions or finders’ fees in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except for fees and commissions for which Purchaser shall be solely liable.

Purchaser’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not contingent on raising any equity capital, obtaining financing therefor, consent of any lender or any other matter relating to funding the P&A Transaction. Purchaser has, and as of the Closing Date will have, sufficient funds to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

6.9 Limitations on Representations and Warranties. Except for the representations and warranties specifically set forth in this Agreement, neither Purchaser nor any of its agents, Affiliates or representatives, nor any other Person, makes or shall be deemed to make any representation or warranty to Seller, express or implied, at law or in equity, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and Purchaser hereby disclaims any such representation or warranty whether by Purchaser or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives or any other Person.

Not later than forty-five (45) calendar days after the date of this Agreement, Purchaser may inspect the facilities of the Branches, including but not limited to the electrical system and HVAC. Seller shall identify to Purchaser, within fifteen (15) calendar days after the date hereof, a group of its salaried personnel (with the necessary expertise and experience to assist Purchaser) that shall constitute a “transition group” who will be available to Purchaser at reasonable times during normal business hours to provide information and assistance in connection with Purchaser’s investigation of matters relating to the Assets, the Assumed Liabilities and transition matters. Such transition group will also work cooperatively to identify and resolve issues arising from any commingling of Records with Seller’s records for its other branches, assets and operations not subject to this Agreement. Seller shall furnish Purchaser with such additional financial and operating data and other information about its business operations at the Branches as may be reasonably necessary for the orderly transfer of the business operations of the Branches, and Purchaser shall be responsible for any documented, out-of-pocket third party costs reasonably incurred by Seller in connection with furnishing such information; provided, however, that nothing herein shall afford Purchaser the right to review any information relating to loans held by Seller not constituting Loans, including information regarding borrowers or any information relating to Seller’s other branches, facilities and operations not subject to this Agreement. Any investigation pursuant to this Section 7.2(a) shall be conducted in such manner as not to unreasonably interfere with the conduct of Seller’s business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not be required to provide access to or disclose information where such access or disclosure would impose an unreasonable burden on Seller, or any employee of Seller, or would violate or prejudice the rights of customers, jeopardize any attorney-client privilege or contravene any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, decree, fiduciary duty or binding agreement entered into and disclosed to Purchaser prior to the date of this Agreement. Seller and Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements under circumstances in which the restrictions of the preceding sentence apply.

(b) From and after the date of this Agreement, Seller shall keep confidential non-public information in its possession (other than information which was or becomes available to Seller on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Purchaser or any of its Affiliates) relating to Purchaser, its Affiliates, the Branches, the Assets and the Assumed Liabilities; provided, however, that Seller shall not be liable hereunder with respect to any disclosure to the extent such disclosure is required pursuant to legal process (including pursuant to the assertion of Seller’s rights under this Agreement) (by interrogatories, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process), regulatory process or request, or to the extent such disclosure is reasonably necessary for purposes of compliance by Seller or its Affiliates with tax or regulatory reporting requirements; provided that in the event of any disclosure pursuant to legal process Seller exercises reasonable best efforts to preserve the confidentiality of the non-public information disclosed, including by cooperating with Purchaser to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the non-public information required to be disclosed.

(c) From and after the date of this Agreement, Purchaser shall keep confidential non-public information in its possession (other than information which was or becomes available to Purchaser on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Seller or any of its Affiliates) relating to Seller and its Affiliates (other than information about the Branches, the Assets and the Assumed Liabilities in the event the P&A Transaction is completed); provided, however that Purchaser shall not be liable hereunder with respect to any disclosure to the extent such disclosure is required pursuant to legal process (including pursuant to the assertion of Purchaser’s rights under this Agreement) (by interrogatories, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) or regulatory process or request; provided that in the event of any disclosure pursuant to legal process Purchaser exercises reasonable best efforts to preserve the confidentiality of the non-public information disclosed, including by cooperating with Seller to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the non-public information required to be disclosed.

7.3 Regulatory Approvals. (a) As soon as practicable and in no event later than thirty (30) calendar days after the date of this Agreement, Purchaser shall prepare and file any applications, notices and filing required in order to obtain the Regulatory Approvals. Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain each such approval as promptly as reasonably practicable and Purchaser shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, knowingly take any action that would be expected to have the effect of denying or materially delaying or conditioning such approval. Seller will cooperate in connection therewith (including the furnishing of any information and any reasonable undertaking or commitments that may be required to obtain the Regulatory Approvals). Each party will provide the other with copies of any applications and all correspondence relating thereto prior to filing, other than material filed in connection therewith under a claim of confidentiality.

(b) The parties shall promptly advise each other upon receiving any communication from any Regulatory Authority whose consent or approval is required for consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement that causes such party to believe that there is a reasonable likelihood that the Regulatory Approvals or any other consent or approval required hereunder will not be obtained or that the receipt of any such approval will be materially delayed.

(c) Purchaser shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates to not, knowingly take any action that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

7.4 Consents. (a) Seller agrees to use reasonable best efforts to obtain from lessors under Equipment Leases and counterparties under Assumed Contracts and any other parties the consent of which is required in order to assign or transfer any Asset or Deposit to Purchaser on the Closing Date, any required consents to such assignment or transfer to Purchaser on the Closing Date; provided that, in the case of any Equipment Lease, if any consent set forth in this Section 7.4(a) is not obtained notwithstanding Seller’s use of reasonable best efforts as required hereunder, the parties shall negotiate in good faith and Seller and Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to enter into a sublease on substantially the same terms (if permitted by the applicable lease) or make alternative arrangements reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser that provide Purchaser, to the extent reasonably possible, the benefits and burdens of the properties subject to the Equipment Lease in a manner that does not violate the applicable Equipment Lease (for the same cost as would have applied if the relevant consent had been obtained); provided, further, that neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to commence any litigation or offer or grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise) to any third party to obtain such authorizations, approvals, consents, negative clearances or waivers; and provided, further, that Seller shall not be obligated to incur any material monetary obligations or expenditures to the parties whose consent is requested in connection with the utilization of its reasonable best efforts to obtain any such required consents. If any alternative arrangement is implemented between Seller and Purchaser at or prior to the Closing, the parties shall continue after the Closing to exercise reasonable best efforts to obtain the related consents that could not be obtained prior to the Closing, and, if such a consent is obtained, Seller shall assign to Purchaser the applicable Equipment Lease pursuant to the terms of this Agreement applicable to leases assigned at Closing, and the parties shall restructure the applicable alternative arrangement.

7.5 Efforts to Consummate; Further Assurances. (a) Purchaser and Seller agree to use reasonable best efforts to satisfy or cause to be satisfied as soon as practicable their respective obligations hereunder and the conditions precedent to the Closing.

(b) From time to time following the Closing, at Purchaser’s request and sole expense, Seller will duly execute and deliver such assignments, bills of sale, deeds, acknowledgments and other instruments of conveyance and transfer as shall be necessary or appropriate to vest in Purchaser the full legal and equitable title to the Assets and the Assumed Liabilities.

(c) Subject to Section 4.3, on and after the Closing Date, each party will promptly deliver to the other, at such other party’s expense, all mail and other communications properly addressable or deliverable to the other as a consequence of the P&A Transaction; and without limitation of the foregoing, on and after the Closing Date, Seller shall promptly forward any mail, communications or other material relating to the Deposits or the Assets transferred on the Closing Date, including that portion of any IRS “B” tapes that relates to such Deposits, to such employees of Purchaser at such addresses as may from time to time be specified by Purchaser in writing.

7.6 Solicitation of Accounts; Non-Solicitation.

(a) Prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser agrees that it will not attempt to solicit Branch customers through advertising nor transact its business in a way intended to induce such customers to close any account and open accounts directly with Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Purchaser and its Affiliates shall be permitted to (i) engage in advertising, solicitations or marketing campaigns not targeted at such customers, and relationships that result therefrom, (ii) engage in lending, deposit, safe deposit, trust or other financial services with customers who have relationships as of the date hereof through other offices of Purchaser or product channels, (iii) respond to unsolicited inquiries by such customers with respect to banking or other financial services, and engage in relationships that result therefrom, and (iv) provide notices or communications relating to the transactions contemplated hereby in accordance with the provisions hereof.

(b) For a period of two (2) years following the Closing Date, Seller agrees that it will not attempt to open a branch location or loan production office in Sarasota and Manatee Counties, Florida, to solicit Branch customers through advertising nor transact its business in a way intended to induce such customers to close any account and open accounts directly with Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Seller and its Affiliates shall be permitted to (i) engage in advertising, solicitations or marketing campaigns consistent with past practices and not targeted at such customers, and relationships that result therefrom, (ii) engage in lending, deposit, safe deposit, trust or other financial services with customers who have relationships as of the date hereof through other offices of Seller or product channels, including Excluded Assets, and (iii) respond to unsolicited inquiries by such customers with respect to banking or other financial services, and engage in relationships that result therefrom.

(c) For a period of two (2) years following the Closing Date, Seller will not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, solicit for employment any Transferred Employee; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 7.6(c) shall be deemed to prohibit Seller or its Affiliates from (i) making general solicitations consistent with past practices and not targeted at Transferred Employees (including job announcements in newspapers and industry publications or on the Internet), (ii) soliciting any Transferred Employee whose employment is terminated by Purchaser prior to Seller, or any of its Affiliates, soliciting such Transferred Employee, (iii) soliciting any Transferred Employee who has not been employed by Purchaser or its Affiliates during the six (6) month period prior to the solicitation not otherwise permitted hereunder or (iv) using employee search firms, so long as such employee search firms are not instructed to and do not engage in targeted solicitations of Transferred Employees.

(d) If any provision or part of this Section 7.6 is held by a court or other authority of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree that the court or authority making such determination will have the power to reduce the duration or scope of such provision or to delete specific words or phrases as necessary (but only to the minimum extent necessary) to cause such provision or part to be valid and enforceable. If such court or authority does not have the legal authority to take the actions described in the preceding sentence, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith a modified provision that would, in so far as possible, reflect the original intent of this Section 7.6 without violating applicable law.

7.7 Insurance. Seller will maintain in effect until the Closing Date all casualty and public liability policies relating to the Branches and maintained by Seller on the date hereof or to procure comparable replacement coverage and maintain such policies or replacement coverage in effect until the Closing. Purchaser shall provide all casualty and public liability insurance for the Branches after the Closing, provided that, subject to applicable law and the terms of the applicable policy, Seller shall transfer to Purchaser any flood insurance that Seller maintains with respect to the Branches that it is able to transfer without additional cost. In the event of any material damage, destruction or condemnation affecting Real Property between the date of the Agreement and the time of the Closing, Purchaser shall have the right to require Seller to take reasonable steps to repair or replace the damaged or destroyed property, or require Seller to deliver to Purchaser any insurance proceeds and other payments, to the extent of the fair market value or the replacement cost of the Real Property, received by Seller as a result thereof unless, in the case of damage or destruction, Seller has repaired or replaced the damaged or destroyed property.

7.8 Servicing Prior to Closing Date. With respect to each of the Loans, from the date hereof until the Closing Date, Seller shall service such Loans in a manner that is consistent with the servicing provided by Seller with respect to its loans that are not to be transferred to Purchaser under the terms of this Agreement. Further, without the prior written consent of Purchaser (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), Seller shall not (a) except as required by law, regulation or the terms of the Loan Documents, release any collateral or any party from any liability on or with respect to any of the Loans; (b) compromise or settle any material claims of any kind or character with respect to the Loans; or (c) except as required by law or regulation, modify, amend or waive any of the material terms of any Loan as set forth in the Loan Documents.

7.9 Change of Name, Etc. Immediately after the Closing, Purchaser will (a) change the name and logo on all documents, Branches and other facilities relating to the Assets and the Assumed Liabilities to Purchaser’s name and logo, (b) notify all persons whose Loans, Deposits or Safe Deposit Agreements are transferred under this Agreement of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (c) provide all appropriate notices to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and any other Regulatory Authorities required as a result of the consummation of such transactions. Seller shall cooperate with any commercially reasonable request of Purchaser directed to accomplish the removal of Seller’s signage (or the removal of signage of an Affiliate of Seller, if applicable) by Purchaser and the installation of Purchaser’s signage by Purchaser; provided, however, that (i) all such removals and all such installations shall be at the expense of Purchaser, (ii) such removals and installations shall be performed in an environmentally friendly manner (including the recycling of such materials) and in such a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the normal business activities and operations of the Branches and Purchaser shall repair any damage to the area altered to its pre-existing condition, (iii) such installed signage shall comply with all applicable zoning and permitting laws and regulations, (iv) such installed signage shall have, if necessary, received the prior approval of the owner or landlord of the facility, and such installed signage shall be covered in such a way as to make Purchaser signage unreadable at all times prior to the Closing, but such cover shall display the name and/or logo of Seller (or of its Affiliates) in a manner reasonably acceptable to Seller and (v) if this Agreement is terminated prior to the Closing, Purchaser shall immediately and at its sole expense restore such signage and any other area altered in connection therewith to its pre-existing condition. During the fourteen (14) calendar day period following the Closing, Purchaser shall afford to Seller and its authorized agents and representatives reasonable access during normal business hours to the Branches to allow Seller the opportunity to confirm Purchaser’s compliance with the terms of this Section 7.9.

7.10 Additional Loans. Any Loan sourced through the Branches for a customer residing or collateral located in Sarasota county or Manatee county, Florida, between the date of Exhibit 1.1(d)-1 and the fifth (5th) business day prior to the Closing Date shall be an Additional Loan unless the loan would be excluded from the definition of “Loans” by virtue of the proviso thereto or fails to meet the Credit Quality Requirement (“Additional Loans”). As used herein, “Credit Quality Requirement” means that Seller has provided loan diligence materials for the applicable loan comparable to the materials provided prior to the date hereof regarding the Loans on Exhibit 1.1(d)-1 and Purchaser has not, within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such information (but within three (3) business days if the Closing Date is not more than five (5) Business Days following receipt of such information), reasonably objected to such loan as failing to be of comparable credit quality to the Loans on Exhibit 1.1(d)-1. As loans are originated through the fifth (5th) Business Day prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall act reasonably promptly to provide Purchaser with the information contemplated by the preceding sentence.

8.2 Proration of Taxes. For purposes of this Agreement, in the case of any Straddle Period, (a) Property Taxes for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be equal to the amount of such Property Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the Straddle Period that are in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period, and (b) Taxes (other than Property Taxes) for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be computed as if such taxable period ended as of the close of business on the Closing Date.

(a) Make available to the other and to any taxing authority as reasonably requested all relevant information, records, and documents relating to Taxes with respect to the Assets, the Assumed Liabilities, or the operation of the Branches;

(b) Provide timely notice to the other in writing of any pending or proposed Tax audits (with copies of all relevant correspondence received from any taxing authority in connection with any Tax audit or information request) or Tax assessments with respect to the Assets, the Assumed Liabilities, or the operation of the Branches for taxable periods for which the other may have a liability under this Agreement; and

(c) The party requesting assistance or cooperation shall bear the other party’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in complying with such request to the extent that those expenses are attributable to fees and other costs of unaffiliated third party service providers.

8.7 Transferred Employees.

(a) Offers of Employment. Purchaser shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates to, offer employment to each Branch Employee who is employed by Seller as of the Closing Date, subject to such Branch Employee satisfying standard pre-employment screening requirements, and shall employ each such employee who has accepted the offer. Offers of employment shall be made by Purchaser prior to the Closing Date, and effective as of the Closing Date. Following the Closing Date, each Branch Employee who accepts Purchaser’s offer of employment shall, from and after the Transfer Date, be defined as a “Transferred Employee” for purposes of this Agreement. Subject to the provisions of this Section 8.7, Transferred Employees shall, if applicable, be subject to the employment terms, conditions and rules applicable to other similarly situated employees of Purchaser. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as an employment contract between Purchaser and any Branch Employee or Transferred Employee.

(b) Terms of Offer. Each Transferred Employee shall be offered employment subject to the following terms and conditions:

(i) Each Transferred Employee’s base salary shall be at least equivalent to the rate of annual base salary or regular hourly wage rate, as applicable, paid by Seller to such Transferred Employee as of the Business Day prior to the Closing Date; and

(ii) Each Transferred Employee shall be offered employment at a job location that is no more than thirty (30) miles from such Transferred Employee’s primary workplace immediately prior to the Closing Date.

(c) Credit for Service. Purchaser shall cause each benefit plan, severance plan and time-off program maintained, sponsored, adopted or contributed to by Purchaser or its Affiliates in which Transferred Employees are eligible to participate (collectively, the “Purchaser Benefit Plans”), to take into account under Purchaser Benefit Plans the service of such employees with Seller or its Affiliates prior to the Transfer Date for purposes of vesting and eligibility (but not for benefit accrual purposes). In addition, Purchaser shall cause each Transferred Employee to be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in the Purchaser Benefit Plans, subject to any applicable law, including ERISA.

(d) Rollover of 401(k) Plan Accounts. Prior to the Closing Date and thereafter (as applicable), Purchaser shall take any and all action as may be required, subject to any applicable law, including ERISA, including, if necessary, amendments to the tax qualified defined contribution plan of Purchaser (the “Purchaser 401(k) Plan”), to permit each Transferred Employee to make rollover contributions of “eligible rollover distributions” (within the meaning of Section 401(a)(31) of the Code, including loans) in cash in an amount equal to the eligible rollover distribution portion of the account balance distributable to such Transferred Employee from the tax qualified defined contribution plan of Seller to the Purchaser 401(k) Plan.

(e) Welfare Benefits Generally. (i) Seller and its Affiliates shall be solely responsible for (A) claims for Welfare Benefits and for workers’ compensation, in each case that are incurred by or with respect to any Transferred Employee (and his or her spouse, dependents or beneficiaries) before his or her Transfer Date, and (B) claims relating to COBRA Continuation Coverage (and for providing any notices related thereto) attributable to “qualifying events” with respect to any Branch Employee who does not become a Transferred Employee and his or her beneficiaries and dependents, whether occurring before, on or after the Closing Date; and (ii) Purchaser and its Affiliates shall be solely responsible for (A) claims for Welfare Benefits and for workers compensation, in each case that are incurred by or with respect to any Transferred Employee on or after his or her Transfer Date, and (B) claims relating to COBRA Continuation Coverage attributable to “qualifying events” with respect to any Transferred Employee and his or her beneficiaries and dependents that occur on or after such Transferred Employee’s Transfer Date. For purposes of the foregoing, (i) a medical/dental claim shall be considered incurred when the services are rendered, the supplies are provided or prescription is actually filled, and not when the condition arose, (ii) a life insurance claim shall be considered incurred on the date of death, (iii) a disability claim shall be considered incurred when the date of disability occurs and (iv) a workers’ compensation claim shall be considered incurred on the date of the occurrence as determined under the applicable state regulations.

(f) Liabilities under Benefit Plans. Except as expressly provided in this Section 8.7, (i) Seller shall remain solely responsible for any and all liabilities and obligations arising under the Benefit Plans, and Purchaser shall not assume or otherwise acquire any of the Benefit Plans, and (ii) for purposes of this Agreement, liabilities under the Benefit Plans shall be considered Excluded Liabilities.

(g) No Third Party Rights or Amendment to Benefit Plans. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to grant any Branch Employee or Transferred Employee a right to continued employment by, or to receive any payments or benefits from, Purchaser or Seller or their respective Affiliates or through any employee benefit plan. This Agreement shall not limit Purchaser’s or Purchaser’s Affiliate’s ability or right to amend or terminate any benefit or compensation plan or program of Purchaser or its Affiliates and nothing contained herein shall be construed as an amendment to or modification of any such plan. This Section 8.7 shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party to this Agreement, and nothing in this Section 8.7, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any other Person, including, any current or former director, officer or employee of Seller or any of its Affiliates, any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Section 8.7.

TERMINATION

10.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing Date:

(a) by the mutual written agreement of Purchaser and Seller;

(b) by Purchaser if (i) at the time of such termination any of the representations and warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement shall not be true and correct to the extent that the condition set forth in Section 9.1(c) cannot be satisfied, or (ii) there shall have been any material breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of Seller hereunder to the extent that the condition set forth in Section 9.1(d) cannot be satisfied, and, in the case of (i) or (ii), such breach or failure is not or cannot be remedied by Seller within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of notice in writing from Purchaser specifying the nature of such breach or failure and requesting that it be remedied; provided that Purchaser may not terminate this Agreement based upon the failure of the conditions set forth in Section 9.1(c) or Section 9.1(d) to be satisfied if such failure was caused by Purchaser’s breach of this Agreement or failure to act in good faith or Purchaser’s or any of its representative’s failure to use reasonable best efforts to cause the Closing to occur;

(c) by Seller, if (i) at the time of such termination any of the representations and warranties of Purchaser contained in this Agreement shall not be true and correct to the extent that the condition set forth in Section 9.2(c) cannot be satisfied, or (ii) there shall have been any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of Purchaser hereunder to the extent that the condition set forth in Section 9.2(d) cannot be satisfied, and, in the case of (i) or (ii), such breach or failure is not or cannot be remedied by Purchaser within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of notice in writing from Seller specifying the nature of such breach or failure and requesting that it be remedied; provided that Seller may not terminate this Agreement based upon the failure of the conditions set forth in Section 9.2(c) or Section 9.2(d) to be satisfied if such failure was caused by Seller’s or any of its representative’s failure to act in good faith or Seller’s breach of this Agreement or failure to use reasonable best efforts to cause the Closing to occur;

(d) by Seller or Purchaser, in the event the Closing has not occurred by the date that is nine (9) months after the date of this Agreement, unless the failure to so consummate is due to a breach of this Agreement by the party seeking to terminate;

(e) by either Seller or Purchaser, if any governmental agencies or authorities that must grant a Regulatory Approval has denied approval of the P&A Transaction and such denial has become final and nonappealable or any governmental agency or authority of competent jurisdiction shall have issued a final and nonappealable order permanently enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the P&A Transaction; or

(f) by Purchaser, if permitted under Section 4.16(c)(1).

10.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement and abandonment of the transactions contemplated hereby pursuant to Section 10.1, except as set forth in this Agreement, no party hereto (or any of its directors, officers, employees, agents or Affiliates) shall have any liability or further obligation to any other party, except that neither Seller nor Purchaser shall be relieved or released from any liabilities or damages arising out of any willful breach of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 11

INDEMNIFICATION

11.1 Indemnification. (a) Subject to Section 12.1, after the Closing, Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by Purchaser, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents, from and against any and all Losses asserted against or incurred by Purchaser to the extent arising out of or resulting from the following:

(i)

any breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller in this Agreement (disregarding, in each case other than in the case of Section 5.15, for purposes of determining the amount of any Loss (but not for purposes of determining whether there has been a breach), any qualification on any such representation or warranty as to “materiality,” “in all material respects,” “Material Adverse Effect” or similar materiality qualifications);

(ii)	any breach of any covenant or agreement to be performed by Seller pursuant to this Agreement;

(iii)

any Excluded Taxes; or

(iv)	any Excluded Liability.

(b) Subject to Section 12.1, after the Closing, Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by Seller, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents, from and against any and all Losses asserted against or incurred by Seller to the extent arising out of or resulting from the following:

(i)

any breach of any representation or warranty made by Purchaser in this Agreement (disregarding, in each case, for purposes of determining the amount of any Loss (but not for purposes of determining whether there has been a breach), any qualification on any such representation or warranty as to “materiality,” “in all material respects,” “Material Adverse Effect” or similar materiality qualifications);

(ii)	any breach of any covenant or agreement to be performed by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement; or

(iii)

the Assumed Liabilities or any responsibility, obligation, duty, legal action, administrative or judicial proceeding, claim, penalty or liability arising out of Purchaser’s ownership or operation from and after the Closing of the business represented by the Branches, the Assets or the Assumed Liabilities.

(c) To exercise its indemnification rights under this Section 11.1 as a result of the assertion against it of any claim or potential liability for which indemnification is provided, the indemnified party shall promptly notify the indemnifying party of the assertion of such claim, discovery of any such potential liability or the commencement of any action or proceeding in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder (including, with respect to claims arising from a breach of representation or warranty made in Article 8, the commencement of an audit, administrative investigation or judicial proceeding by any governmental authority); provided, however, that, subject to the Survival Periods set forth in Section 12.1(a), any delay or failure by the indemnified party to give notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent, if at all, that the indemnifying party is actually and materially prejudiced by reason of such delay or failure. The indemnified party shall advise the indemnifying party of all facts relating to such assertion within the knowledge of the indemnified party, and shall afford the indemnifying party the opportunity, at the indemnifying party’s sole cost and expense, to defend against such claims for liability. In any such action or proceeding, the indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at its own expense unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party mutually agree to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such suit, action, or proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, and in the reasonable judgment of the indemnified party, representation of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party by the same counsel would be inadvisable due to actual or potential differing defenses or conflicts of interests between them.

(d) Neither party to this Agreement shall settle, compromise, discharge or consent to an entry of judgment with respect to a claim or liability subject to indemnification under this Article 11 without the other party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided that the indemnifying party may agree without the prior written consent of the indemnified party to any settlement, compromise, discharge or consent to an entry of judgment in each case that by its terms (i) obligates the indemnifying party to pay the full amount of the liability in connection with such claim and that unconditionally releases the indemnified party and its Affiliates from all liability or obligation in connection with such claim and (ii) does not impose injunctive or other non-monetary equitable relief against the indemnified party or its Affiliates, or their respective businesses.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, an indemnifying party shall not be liable under Section 11.1(a)(i) or Section 11.1(b)(i) for any Losses sustained by the indemnified party unless and until the aggregate amount of all indemnifiable Losses sustained by the indemnified party shall exceed $100,000 (the “Deductible”), in which event the indemnifying party shall provide indemnification hereunder in respect of all such indemnifiable Losses in excess of the Deductible provided, however, that the maximum aggregate amount of indemnification payments payable by Seller pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(i) or by Purchaser pursuant to Section 11.1(b)(i), as applicable, shall be $550,000. In no event shall either party hereto be entitled to consequential or punitive damages or damages for lost profits in any action relating to the subject matter of this Agreement.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a third party claim includes or would reasonably be expected to include both a claim for Taxes that are Assumed Liabilities pursuant to Section 2.2(a)(vii) (“Purchaser Taxes”) and a claim for Taxes that are not Assumed Liabilities pursuant to Section 2.2(a)(vii) (“Seller Taxes”), and such claim for Seller Taxes is not separable from such a claim for Purchaser Taxes, Purchaser (if the claim for Purchaser Taxes exceeds or reasonably would be expected to exceed in amount the claim for Seller Taxes) or otherwise Seller (Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, the “Controlling Party”) shall be entitled to control the defense of such third party claim (such third party claim, a “Tax Claim”). In such case, the other party (Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, the “Non-Controlling Party”) shall be entitled to participate fully (at the Non-Controlling Party’s sole expense) in the conduct of such Tax Claim and the Controlling Party shall not settle such Tax Claim without the consent of such Non-Controlling Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The costs and expenses of conducting the defense of such Tax Claim shall be reasonably apportioned based on the relative amounts of the Tax Claim that are Seller Taxes and that are Purchaser Taxes.

(g) Except as otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any comparable provision of state, local or foreign Law), Seller, Purchaser, and their respective Affiliates shall treat any and all payments under this Article 11 as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes.

(h) An indemnified party shall use reasonable best efforts to mitigate any claim or liability that such indemnified party asserts under this Article 11. In the event that an indemnified party shall fail to use such reasonable best efforts to mitigate any claim or liability, then notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the indemnifying party shall not be required to indemnify any indemnified party for any portion of a Loss that could reasonably be expected to have been avoided if the indemnified party had made such efforts.

11.2 Exclusivity. After the Closing, except as expressly set forth in Sections 2.4, 4.3(b), 4.8, 7.4(a) and 8.3, and except in the case of common law fraud in connection with entering into this Agreement, this Article 11 will provide the exclusive remedy for any misrepresentation, breach of warranty, covenant or other agreement or other claim arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; provided that it is understood and agreed that the foregoing shall not prevent a party from obtaining specific performance, injunctive relief or any other available non-monetary equitable remedy.

11.3 AS-IS Sale; Waiver of Warranties. Except for the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, Purchaser acknowledges that the Assets and Assumed Liabilities are being sold and accepted on an “AS-IS-WHERE-IS” basis, and are being accepted without any representation or warranty. As part of Purchaser’s agreement to purchase and accept the Assets and Assumed Liabilities AS-IS-WHERE-IS, and not as a limitation on such agreement, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SELLER HEREBY DISCLAIMS AND PURCHASER HEREBY UNCONDITIONALLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND RELEASES ANY AND ALL ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL RIGHTS PURCHASER MIGHT HAVE AGAINST SELLER OR ANY PERSON DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY CONTROLLING SELLER REGARDING ANY FORM OF WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OF ANY KIND OR TYPE, RELATING TO THE ASSETS AND ASSUMED LIABILITIES INCLUDING THE LOANS AND/OR THE COLLATERAL THEREFOR EXCEPT THOSE SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT. SUCH WAIVER AND RELEASE IS, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ABSOLUTE, COMPLETE, TOTAL AND UNLIMITED IN EVERY WAY. SUCH WAIVER AND RELEASE INCLUDES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, A WAIVER AND RELEASE OF EXPRESS WARRANTIES (EXCEPT THOSE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OTHERWISE SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT), IMPLIED WARRANTIES, WARRANTIES OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR USE, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, WARRANTIES OF HABITABILITY, STRICT LIABILITY RIGHTS AND CLAIMS OF EVERY KIND AND TYPE, INCLUDING CLAIMS REGARDING DEFECTS WHICH WERE NOT OR ARE NOT DISCOVERABLE, ALL OTHER EXTANT OR LATER CREATED OR CONCEIVED OF STRICT LIABILITY OR STRICT LIABILITY TYPE CLAIMS AND RIGHTS.

ARTICLE 12

MISCELLANEOUS

12.1 Survival. (a) The parties’ respective representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall survive until the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, however, that (i) each of the representations and warranties of parties set forth in Sections 5.1 and 6.1 shall survive until the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Closing Date and (ii) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5.10 shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, and thereafter neither party may claim any Loss in relation to a breach thereof (each such specified period, a “Survival Period”); provided, however, that the claims set forth in any claim for indemnity made by an indemnified party on or prior to the applicable Survival Period shall survive until such claim is finally resolved. The agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing until performed in full or the obligation to so perform shall have expired.

(b) No claim based on any breach of any representation or warranty shall be valid or made unless notice with respect thereto is given to the indemnifying party in accordance with this Agreement.

12.2 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations of either party may be assigned by either party hereto without the prior written consent of the other party, and any purported assignment in contravention of this Section 12.2 shall be void.

12.4 Public Notice.

Purchaser and Seller each agree that, without the other party’s prior written consent, it shall not release or disclose any of the terms or conditions of the transactions contemplated herein to any other Person (other than any bank Regulatory Authority). Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party may make a Public Notice as, based on the advice of its counsel, may be required by law or as necessary to obtain the Regulatory Approvals.

12.8 Waiver of Jury Trial.

12.9 Entire Agreement; Amendment. (a) This Agreement contains the entire understanding of and all agreements between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior or contemporaneous agreement or understanding, oral or written, pertaining to any such matters, which agreements or understandings shall be of no force or effect for any purpose; provided, however, that the terms of any confidentiality agreement the parties hereto previously entered into shall, to the extent not inconsistent with any provisions of this Agreement, continue to apply until the Closing.

(b) This Agreement may not be amended or supplemented in any manner except by mutual agreement of the parties and as set forth in a writing signed by the parties hereto or their respective successors in interest. The waiver of any breach of any provision under this Agreement by any party shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach under this Agreement. No such waiver shall be effective unless in writing.

12.10 Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as expressly provided in Section 11.1, this Agreement shall not benefit or create any right or cause of action in or on behalf of any person other than Seller and Purchaser.

12.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement, and any amendments hereto, to the extent signed and delivered by means of a facsimile machine or digital imaging or electronic mail, shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original contract and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. No party hereto or to any such contract shall raise the use of a facsimile machine or digital imaging and electronic mail to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature was transmitted or communicated through the use of a facsimile machine or digital imaging and electronic mail as a defense to the formation of a contract and each such party forever waives any such defense.

12.12 Headings. The headings used in this Agreement are inserted for purposes of convenience of reference only and shall not limit or define the meaning of any provisions of this Agreement.

12.13 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, as applied to any party or circumstance, shall be judged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void, invalid or unenforceable, the same shall in no way effect any other provision of this Agreement, the application of any such provision and any other circumstances or the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement.

12.14 Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to Articles, Sections or Exhibits, such reference shall be to an Article, Section of or Exhibit to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The Recitals hereto constitute an integral part of this Agreement. References to Sections include subsections, which are part of the related Section (e.g., a section numbered “Section 5.13(a)” would be part of “Section 5.13” and references to “Section 5.13” would also refer to material contained in the subsection described as “Section 5.13(a)”). The table of contents, index and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The phrases “the date of this Agreement,” “the date hereof” and terms of similar import, unless the context otherwise requires, shall be deemed to refer to the date set forth in the Preamble to this Agreement.

12.15 Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof (and, more specifically, that irreparable damage would likewise occur if the P&A Transaction was not consummated), and, accordingly, that the parties shall be entitled, without the necessity of posting a bond or other security, to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof (including the parties’ obligation to consummate the P&A Transactions, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement).
