AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of October __, 2011, by and among 1^ST UNITED BANCORP, INC., a Florida corporation (“Bancorp”), ANDEREN FINANCIAL, INC., a Florida corporation (“AFI”), and ANDEREN BANK, a Florida-chartered commercial bank and subsidiary of AFI (“Anderen Bank”).

PREAMBLE

The respective Boards of Directors of Bancorp, AFI and Anderen Bank are of the opinion that the transactions described herein are in the best interests of the parties to this Agreement and their respective shareholders. This Agreement provides for the acquisition of AFI by Bancorp pursuant to the merger of (i) AFI with and into Bancorp (the “Holding Company Merger”) and (ii) Anderen Bank with and into a Florida-chartered bank subsidiary of Bancorp, 1^st United Bank (“1^st United”) (the “Bank Merger”) (collectively, the “Mergers”). At the effective time of the Holding Company Merger, the outstanding shares of AFI Common Stock shall be converted into the right to receive shares of Bancorp Common Stock and/or cash as described in this Agreement. As a result, certain shareholders of AFI shall become shareholders of Bancorp and Bancorp shall conduct the business and operations of AFI and 1^st United shall conduct the business and operations of Anderen Bank. The transactions described in this Agreement are subject to the approvals of the shareholders of AFI, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Florida Office of Financial Regulation, and the satisfaction of certain other conditions described in this Agreement. It is the intention of the Parties that the Mergers, for federal income tax purposes, shall qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(A) of the Code.

Certain terms used in this Agreement are defined in Section 10.1 of this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above and the mutual warranties, representations, covenants, and agreements set forth herein, the parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

Bancorp shall be the Surviving Corporation resulting from the Holding Company Merger and shall continue to be governed by the Laws of the State of Florida. The Holding Company Merger shall be consummated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, which has been approved and adopted by the respective Boards of Directors of AFI and Bancorp.

1.2 BANK MERGER. Subsequent to the consummation of the Holding Company Merger, Anderen Bank shall be merged with and into 1^st United in accordance with the provisions of and with the effect provided in Section 658.41 of the Florida Statutes on terms and subject to the provisions of the Bank Plan of Merger and Merger Agreement (“Bank Plan”), attached hereto as Exhibit 1. AFI shall vote the shares of Anderen Bank Capital Stock in favor of the Bank Plan and the Bank Merger provided therein. Bancorp shall vote the shares of 1^st United Capital Stock in favor of the Bank Plan and the Bank Merger provided therein.

1.3 TIME AND PLACE OF CLOSING. The closing of the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Closing”) will take place at the close of business on the date that the Effective Time occurs (or the immediately preceding day if the Effective Time is earlier than 9:00 a.m.), or at such other time as the Parties, acting through their authorized officers, may mutually agree. The Closing shall be held at such location as may be mutually agreed upon by the Parties or may be conducted by mail or facsimile as may be mutually agreed upon by the Parties.

EXECUTION COPY

1.4 EFFECTIVE TIME. The Holding Company Merger and other transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall become effective on the date and at the time the Articles of Merger reflecting the Holding Company Merger shall become effective with the Secretary of State of the State of Florida (the “Effective Time”). Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, unless otherwise mutually agreed upon in writing by the authorized officers of each Party, the Parties shall use their reasonable efforts to cause the Effective Time to occur within 60 days after the last to occur of (i) the effective date (including expiration of any applicable waiting period) of the last required Consent (including, without limitation, the Consent of the FDIC pursuant to shared-loss agreements between 1^st United and the FDIC) of any Regulatory Authority having authority over and approving or exempting the Mergers, and (ii) the date on which the shareholders of AFI approve this Agreement to the extent such approval is required by applicable Law. The actual Effective Time within the 60-day period shall be mutually agreed upon by Bancorp and AFI.

1.5 ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION. The Articles of Incorporation of Bancorp in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until duly amended or repealed, and the Articles of Incorporation of 1^st United in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving Bank until duly amended or repealed.

The Bylaws of Bancorp in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until duly amended or repealed, and the Bylaws of 1^st United in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the Bylaws of the Surviving Bank until duly amended or repealed.

1.7 DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

(a) Subject to Section 7.21, the directors of Bancorp in office immediately prior to the Effective Time, together with such persons as may thereafter be elected, shall serve as the directors of the Surviving Corporation from and after the Effective Time in accordance with the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation. Subject to Section 7.12 , the officers of Bancorp in office immediately prior to the Effective Time, together with such additional persons as may thereafter be elected, shall serve as the officers of the Surviving Corporation from and after the Effective Time in accordance with the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) Subject to Section 7.21, the directors of 1^st United in office immediately prior to the Effective Time, together with such persons as may thereafter be elected, shall serve as the directors of the Surviving Bank from and after the Effective Time in accordance with the Bylaws of the Surviving Bank.

2. MANNER OF CONVERTING SHARES

2.1 CONVERSION OF SHARES. Subject to the provisions of this ARTICLE 2, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Mergers and without any action on the part of Bancorp, 1^st United, AFI, or Anderen Bank or the shareholders of the foregoing, the shares of the constituent corporations shall be converted as follows:

EXECUTION COPY

(a) Each share of Bancorp Capital Stock and 1^st United Capital Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain issued and outstanding from and after the Effective Time and shall be unaffected by the Mergers.

(b) Subject to Section 2.4, each share of AFI Capital Stock, excluding shares held by any AFI Entity or any Bancorp Entity, in each case other than in a fiduciary capacity or as a result of debts previously contracted, and excluding shares held by shareholders who perfect their statutory dissenters’ rights as provided in Section 2.3, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to be outstanding and shall be converted into and exchanged for the right to receive consideration equal to the Per Share Consideration for each such share, such consideration to be paid, at the election of the holder of AFI Common Stock, as provided in Section 3.1, in one of the following manners:

1. subject to the proration adjustment of Section 2.7, up to 100% in cash (“Cash Consideration”) (such election being the “Cash Election” and each share held by a shareholder electing the Cash Election constituting “Cash Election Shares”);

2. subject to the proration adjustment of Section 2.7, up to 100% in Bancorp Common Stock (“Stock Consideration”) (such election being the “Stock Election” and each share held by a shareholder electing the Stock Election constituting “Stock Election Shares”) as determined by dividing the Per Share Consideration by the Average Closing Price; or

3. fifty percent (50%) in Bancorp Common Stock and fifty percent (50%) in cash (such election being the “Mixed Election” and each share held by a shareholder electing the Mixed Election constituting “Mixed Election Shares”). The number of shares of Bancorp Common Stock to be received shall be determined by multiplying one-half (1/2) of the number of Mixed Election Shares by the quotient obtained by dividing the Per Share Consideration by the Average Closing Price. Holders of AFI Common Stock for which no election pursuant to ARTICLE 3 has been made as of the Effective Time (such shares constituting “Non-Election Shares”), shall be deemed to have made a Mixed Election.

(c) Each share of Anderen Bank Capital Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to be outstanding and shall be extinguished from and after the consummation of the Bank Merger.

2.2 SHARES HELD BY AFI ENTITIES. Each of the shares of AFI Common Stock held by any AFI Entity other than in a fiduciary capacity or as a result of debts previously contracted, shall be canceled and retired at the Effective Time and no consideration shall be issued in exchange therefor.

2.3 DISSENTING SHAREHOLDERS. Any holder of shares of AFI Common Stock who perfects their dissenters’ rights (the aggregate shares of all such holders constituting the “Dissenting Shares”) in accordance with and as contemplated by Sections 607.1301-1333 of the FBCA shall be entitled to receive the value of such shares in cash as determined pursuant to such provision of Law; provided, that no such payment shall be made to any dissenting shareholder unless and until such dissenting shareholder has complied with the applicable provisions of the FBCA and surrendered to AFI the certificate or certificates representing the shares for which payment is being made. In the event that after the Effective Time a dissenting shareholder of AFI fails to perfect, or effectively withdraws or loses, his or her right to appraisal and of payment for his or her shares subject to Bancorp’s consent in its sole discretion, Bancorp shall issue and deliver the consideration to which such holder of shares of AFI Common Stock is entitled under this ARTICLE 2 (without interest) upon surrender by such holder of the certificate or certificates representing shares of AFI Common Stock held by such holder.

EXECUTION COPY

2.4 FRACTIONAL SHARES. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each holder of shares of AFI Common Stock exchanged pursuant to the Mergers who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Bancorp Common Stock (after taking into account all Certificates delivered by such holder) shall receive, in lieu thereof, cash (without interest) in an amount equal to such fractional part of a share of Bancorp Common Stock multiplied by the Average Closing Price. No such holder will be entitled to dividends, voting rights, or any other rights as a shareholder in respect of any fractional shares.

2.5 EQUITY RIGHTS. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each outstanding Equity Right to acquire shares of AFI Capital Stock or Anderen Bank Capital Stock shall automatically become vested and shall be cancelled without conversion thereof and without payment of any compensation therefor.

2.6 ANTI-DILUTION PROVISIONS. In the event Bancorp changes the number of shares of Bancorp Common Stock issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time as a result of the stock split, stock dividend or similar recapitalization with respect to such stock and the record date therefor shall be prior to the Effective Time, the share and dollar amounts set forth in this ARTICLE 2, ARTICLE 9 and ARTICLE 10 shall be proportionately adjusted as needed to preserve the relative economic benefit to the Parties.

2.7 PRORATION.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, the aggregate number of Cash Election Shares (which, for the purposes of this Section 2.7 only, shall be deemed to include the Dissenting Shares determined as of the Effective Time) shall equal the aggregate number of Stock Election Shares at the Effective Time. To the extent that the aggregate number of Cash Election Shares and the aggregate number of Stock Election Shares are not equal at the Effective Time, holders of AFI Common Stock making the Cash Election or the Stock Election, as the case may be, shall receive consideration which shall consist of both Cash Consideration and Stock Consideration subject to proration pursuant to Section 2.7(b).

(b) Within five (5) business days after the Election Deadline, Bancorp shall use reasonable efforts to cause the Exchange Agent to effect the allocation among holders of AFI Common Stock of rights to receive the Cash Consideration and the Stock Consideration as follows:

1. If the aggregate number of Cash Election Shares exceeds the aggregate number of Stock Election Shares, then all Stock Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration, and all Cash Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive a combination of Cash Consideration and Stock Consideration, prorated such that the aggregate number of Cash Election Shares equals the aggregate number of Stock Election Shares after such proration is applied; or

2. If the aggregate number of Stock Election Shares exceeds the aggregate number of Cash Election Shares, then all Cash Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration, and all Stock Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive a combination of Cash Consideration and Stock Consideration, prorated such that the aggregate number of Cash Election Shares equals the aggregate number of Stock Election Shares after such proration is applied.

EXECUTION COPY

(c) This Section 2.7 shall not affect the Mixed Election Shares (including the Non-Election Shares which are deemed to be Mixed Election Shares) which shall be converted into the right to receive the Mixed Consideration and shall not be subject to any proration.

3. CONSIDERATION ELECTION AND EXCHANGE OF SHARES

3.1 ELECTION AND EXCHANGE PROCEDURES.

(a) Concurrently with the mailing of the Proxy Statement to the shareholders of AFI (which date shall be referred to as the “Mailing Date”), Bancorp and AFI shall mail an election form (the “Election Form”) to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates which represent shares of AFI Common Stock as of the record date for the Shareholders’ Meeting (the “Record Date”).

(b) Subject to the limitations contained in this Section 3.1, each Election Form shall permit the holder (or in the case of nominee record holders, the beneficial owner through appropriate and customary documentation and instructions) to elect to receive, with respect to each share of such holder’s AFI Common Stock (i) Cash Consideration (subject to proration), (ii) Stock Consideration (subject to proration), or (iii) Mixed Consideration, or to indicate that such holder makes no election (such shares thereby designated as Non-Election Shares). Any shares of AFI Common Stock with respect to which the holder (or the beneficial owner, as the case may be) shall not have submitted to Bancorp, an effective, properly completed Election Form on or before 5:00 p.m., on the day of the Shareholders’ Meeting (the “Shareholder Meeting Date”) (or such other time and date as Bancorp and AFI may mutually agree) (the “Election Deadline”) shall also be deemed to be Non-Election Shares.

Any such election shall have been properly made only if Bancorp or AFI shall have actually received a properly completed Election Form by the Election Deadline. Any Election Form may be revoked or changed by the person submitting such Election Form at or prior to the Election Deadline by written notice to Bancorp, which notice must be received by the Bancorp at or prior to the Election Deadline. In the event an Election Form is revoked prior to the Election Deadline, the shares of AFI Common Stock represented by such Election Form shall become Non-Election Shares. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and of the Election Form, Bancorp shall have reasonable discretion to determine whether any election, revocation or change has been properly or timely made and to disregard immaterial defects in the Election Forms, and any good faith decision of Bancorp regarding such matters shall be binding and conclusive. Bancorp shall be under no obligation to notify any Person of any defect in an Election Form.

Within five (5) business days after the Election Deadline, Bancorp or the exchange agent selected by Bancorp (the “Exchange Agent”) shall allocate among holders of AFI Common Stock the right to receive, with respect to each such share, Cash Consideration and/or Stock Consideration in the Merger in accordance with the terms of ARTICLE 2.

(c) Bancorp and AFI shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail within five (5) business days after the Effective Time (which date shall be referred to as the “Transmittal Date”), to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates which represented shares of AFI Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Certificates”) a form letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of such Certificates to the Exchange Agent) containing instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the AFI stock certificates. The Certificate or Certificates of AFI Common Stock so delivered shall be duly endorsed as the Exchange Agent may require.

EXECUTION COPY

(d) Upon surrender of a Certificate for exchange and cancellation to Bancorp, together with a properly completed letter of transmittal, duly executed, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to promptly receive in exchange therefor (x) a certificate representing that number of whole shares of Bancorp Common Stock, if any, to which such holder of AFI Common Stock shall have become entitled pursuant to the provisions of ARTICLE 2 hereof, and (y) a check representing the amount of cash, if any, which such holder has the right to receive in respect of the Certificate surrendered pursuant to the provisions of ARTICLE 2 and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled.

(e) In the event of a transfer of ownership of shares of AFI Common Stock represented by Certificates that are not registered in the transfer records of AFI, the consideration provided in ARTICLE 2 may be issued to a transferee if the Certificates representing such shares are delivered to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence such transfer and by evidence satisfactory to the Exchange Agent that any applicable stock transfer taxes have been paid. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen, mislaid or destroyed, upon receipt of (i) an affidavit of that fact from the holder claiming such Certificate to be lost, mislaid, stolen or destroyed, (ii) such bond, security or indemnity as Bancorp and the Exchange Agent may reasonably require and (iii) any other documents necessary to evidence and effect the bona fide exchange thereof, the Exchange Agent shall issue to such holder the consideration into which the shares represented by such lost, stolen, mislaid or destroyed Certificate shall have been converted. The Exchange Agent may establish such other reasonable and customary rules and procedures in connection with its duties as it may deem appropriate. After the Effective Time, each holder of shares of AFI Common Stock (other than shares to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.2 or as to which statutory dissenters’ rights have been perfected as provided in Section 2.3) issued and outstanding at the Effective Time shall surrender the Certificate or Certificates representing such shares to the Exchange Agent and shall promptly upon surrender thereof receive in exchange therefor the consideration provided pursuant to ARTICLE 2, together with all undelivered dividends or distributions in respect of such shares (without interest thereon) pursuant to Section 3.2. To the extent required by Section 2.4, each holder of shares of AFI Common Stock issued and outstanding at the Effective Time also shall receive, upon surrender of the Certificate or Certificates, cash in lieu of any fractional share of Bancorp Common Stock to which such holder may be otherwise entitled (without interest). Bancorp shall not be obligated to deliver the consideration to which any former holder of AFI Common Stock is entitled as a result of the Mergers until such holder surrenders such holder’s Certificate or Certificates for exchange as provided in this Section 3.1. Any other provision of this Agreement notwithstanding, neither Bancorp nor the Exchange Agent shall be liable to a holder of AFI Common Stock for any amounts paid or property delivered in good faith to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. Adoption of this Agreement by the shareholders of AFI shall constitute ratification of the appointment of the Exchange Agent.

3.2 RIGHTS OF FORMER AFI SHAREHOLDERS. At the Record Date, the stock transfer books of AFI shall be closed as to holders of AFI Common Stock immediately prior to the Record Date and no transfer of AFI Common Stock by any such holder shall thereafter be made or recognized. Assuming the Mergers are consummated, until surrendered for exchange in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.1, each Certificate therefor representing shares of AFI Common Stock (other than shares to be canceled or surrendered pursuant to Sections 2.2 and 2.3 respectively) shall from and after the Record Date represent for all purposes only the right to receive the consideration provided in ARTICLE 2 in exchange therefor. Whenever a dividend or other distribution is declared by Bancorp on the Bancorp Common Stock, the record date for which is at or after the Effective Time, the declaration shall include dividends or other distributions on all shares of Bancorp Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Agreement. No dividend or other distribution payable to the holders of record of Bancorp Common Stock as of any time subsequent to the Effective Time shall be delivered to the holder of any Certificate until such holder surrenders such Certificate for exchange as provided in Section 3.1. However, upon surrender of such Certificate, both the Bancorp Common Stock certificate (together with all such undelivered dividends or other distributions, without interest) and any undelivered dividends and cash payments payable hereunder (without interest) shall be delivered and paid with respect to each share represented by such Certificate.

EXECUTION COPY

3.3 RETURN OF EXCHANGE FUND. At any time following the six (6) month period after the Effective Time, Bancorp shall be entitled to require the Exchange Agent to deliver to it any portions of the cash and certificates for shares of Bancorp Common Stock (together with any dividends or distributions with respect thereto) which had been made available to the Exchange Agent and not disbursed to holders of Certificates (including, without limitation, all interest and other income received by the Exchange Agent in respect of all funds made available to it), and thereafter such holders shall be entitled to look to Bancorp (subject to abandoned property, escheat and other similar laws) with respect to any Merger Consideration that may be payable upon due surrender of the Certificated held by them.

3.4 WITHHOLDING. Bancorp or the Exchange Agent will be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby to any holder of Certificates such amounts as any Bancorp Entity or the Exchange Agent are required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any applicable Law. To the extent that such amounts are properly withheld by a Bancorp Entity or the Exchange Agent, such withheld amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the Certificates in respect of whom such deduction and withholding were made by Bancorp or the Exchange Agent.

(a) Following the Effective Time, Bancorp shall provide generally to officers and employees of the AFI Entities employee benefits under employee benefit and welfare plans (other than stock option or other plans involving the potential issuance of Bancorp Common Stock), on terms and conditions which when taken as a whole are substantially similar to those currently provided by the Bancorp Entities to their similarly situated officers and employees. Bancorp shall waive any pre-existing condition exclusion under any employee health plan for which any employees and/or officers and dependents are covered by AFI plans as of Closing, to the extent that such pre-existing condition was covered under the corresponding plan maintained by the AFI Entity. For purposes of participation and vesting (but not benefit accrual) under Bancorp’s employee benefit plans, the service of the employees of the AFI Entities with the AFI Entities prior to the Effective Time shall be treated as service with a Bancorp Entity participating in such employee benefit plans.

EXECUTION COPY

(b) Concurrent with the execution of this Agreement, but effective at the Effective Time, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx III, Xxxx X. Xxxxxx, and Xxxxx X. Xxxxx III shall enter into two-year employment agreements with Bancorp in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2 (the “Executive Employment Agreement”).

(c) Nothing contained herein is intended to provide, or shall be construed or interpreted as providing, any officer or employee of the AFI Entities any right to continued employment or restrict Bancorp from amending or terminating any employee benefit plan, program or policy of, or any agreement with, Bancorp, AFI or any of their respective Subsidiaries, in accordance with the terms thereof. This Agreement is not intended, and it shall not be construed, to create third party beneficiary rights for any current or former employees of the Parties or their respective Subsidiaries (including any beneficiaries or dependents thereof) under or with respect to any plan, program, or arrangement described in or contemplated by this Agreement.

(d) Not later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, AFI and Anderen Bank each agree to terminate their 401(k) plans without any cost, Liability, or additional expense to any Bancorp Entity.

(e) Each employee of an AFI Entity shall receive credit under the Bancorp Entities’ plans for co-pays, deductibles and other similar limits incurred under the AFI Entities’ plans during the year in which the former employees of the AFI Entities are integrated into the Bancorp Entities’ plans.

(f) If, within six months of the Effective Time, any employee of any AFI Entity is terminated by Bancorp or 1^st United solely as a result of the Mergers (i.e., elimination of duplicative jobs, etc.), and not as a result of inadequate performance or other good cause, Bancorp shall pay severance to each such employee in an amount equal to one week’s pay for each twelve months of such employee’s prior employment with such AFI Entity; provided, however, that in no event will the total amount of severance for any single employee exceed $10,000 in the aggregate.

7.13 INDEMNIFICATION.

(a) Subject to the limitations in this Section 7.13, from and after the Effective Time, Bancorp agrees that it will indemnify and hold harmless each director and executive officer of AFI and/or of Anderen Bank (each, an “Indemnified Party”) against all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (collectively “Claims”), arising out of actions or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time pertaining to (i) the fact that he or she is or was a director or executive officer of an AFI Entity, or (ii) this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, in either case, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, to the extent that AFI would have been allowed under Florida Law and its Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws as in effect on the date hereof to indemnify such Indemnified Parties; provided, however, that Bancorp’s indemnification obligations under this Section 7.13 shall be limited to Claims that are actually covered and paid by the Existing D&O Policies (as defined in, and as extended pursuant to, Section 7.13(c)), but only for the monetary responsibilities of the named insured under such policies (e.g., deductibles or self-insured retentions), and in addition for amounts in excess of the policy limits, but Bancorp’s total indemnity obligations for any and all Claims shall not exceed $2,500,000 in the aggregate. Bancorp’s obligations under this Section 7.13 shall continue in full force and effect for a period of three (3) years from the Effective Time; provided, that all rights to indemnification in respect of any Claim asserted or made prior to such period shall continue until the final disposition of such Claim.

EXECUTION COPY

(b) Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under this Section, upon learning of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, shall promptly notify Bancorp thereof. In the event of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation (whether before or after the Effective Time) (i) Bancorp shall have the right to assume the defense thereof and Bancorp shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party for any legal expenses or other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof, (ii) the Indemnified Party will cooperate in the defense of any such matter and (iii) Bancorp shall not be liable for any settlement effected without its prior written consent; provided that Bancorp shall not have any obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Party if and when a court of competent jurisdiction shall ultimately determine, and such determination shall have become final, that the indemnification of such Indemnified Party in the manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by applicable Law.

(c) For a period of four (4) years from the Effective Time, Bancorp shall maintain in effect, for the benefit of each Indemnified Party with respect to all Liabilities arising out of actions or omissions arising out of the Indemnified Party’s service or services as directors, officers or employees of any AFI Entity occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), the existing policy or policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by AFI and Anderen Bank as of the date of this Agreement in the form delivered by AFI to Bancorp prior to the date of this Agreement (the “Existing D&O Policies”); provided, however, that: (i) Bancorp may, in its sole discretion, substitute for the Existing D&O Policies a single 4-year aggregate policy with coverage of $5,000,000 in the aggregate, or multiple policies, of comparable coverage, including a “tail” insurance policy; and (ii) Bancorp shall not be required to pay more than $100,000 in the aggregate for the premiums for the Existing D&O Policies (or for any substitute or “tail” policy or policies) (the “Maximum Premium”). In the event the aggregate premium or premiums for the Existing D&O Policies (or any substitute policies) exceed the Maximum Premium, Bancorp shall be entitled to reduce the amount of coverage of the Existing D&O Policies (or any substitute or “tail” policies) to the amount of coverage that can be obtained for a premium equal to the Maximum Premium. AFI and Anderen Bank represent that its respective current annual premium for the Existing D&O Policies is disclosed in Section 7.13(c) of the AFI Disclosure Memorandum. The provisions of this paragraph shall be deemed to have been satisfied if prepaid policies have been obtained prior to the Effective Time for purposes of this Section 7.13 with the prior consent of Bancorp, which policies provide the Indemnified Parties with coverage for an aggregate period of four (4) years after the Effective Time (including with respect to acts or omissions occurring in connection with approval of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby), and nothing in Section 7.13 shall prohibit AFI or Anderen Bank from obtaining such prepaid policies prior to the Effective Time with the prior consent of Bancorp, provided that the cost thereof shall not exceed $100,000 in the aggregate for such policy or policies. If such prepaid policy or policies have been obtained prior to the Effective Time, Bancorp shall maintain such policy or policies in full force and effect for its or their duration.

(d) If Bancorp or any of its successors or assigns shall (i) consolidate with or merge into any other Person or entity and shall not be the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any other Person or entity then, in each case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Bancorp shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.13.

7.14 SHAREHOLDER VOTING AGREEMENTS. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, AFI and Anderen Bank agree to cause each of their directors to execute and deliver a Shareholder Voting Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 3 (“Shareholder Voting Agreement”).

In order to perform or to conduct any such investigation(s) described in this Section 7.15, each AFI Entity shall grant Bancorp the right to gain reasonable access to any businesses and properties of any AFI Entity, including access to its Participation Facilities or its Operating Facilities. Should Bancorp elect to complete an Environmental Survey of any Real Property, it shall notify AFI or Anderen Bank before commencing the Environmental Survey and shall make reasonable efforts to coordinate the Environmental Survey with AFI and Anderen Bank.

If AFI or Anderen Bank fails to cure a Material Defect to Bancorp’s satisfaction within the period specified above, then Bancorp may terminate this Agreement (with such termination being deemed to be a termination under Section 9.1(a))

For purposes of this Agreement, a “Material Defect” shall consist of:

(a) the existence of any Lien (other than the lien of Real Property Taxes not yet due and payable), encumbrance, zoning restriction, easement, covenant or other restriction, title imperfection or title irregularity, or the existence of any facts or conditions that constitute a Material breach of the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.10 or 4.12, in either such case that Bancorp reasonably believes could result in a Material Adverse Effect on its use of any parcel of the Real Property for the purpose for which it currently is used or the value or marketability of any parcel of the Real Property, or as to which Bancorp otherwise objects;

(b) the existence of any structural defects or conditions of disrepair in the improvements on the Real Property (including any equipment, fixtures or other components related thereto) that Bancorp reasonably believes would cost more than $250,000 in the aggregate to repair, remove or correct as to all such Real Property; or

(c) the existence of facts or circumstances relating to any of the Real Property reflecting that: (1) there likely has been a discharge, disposal, release, threatened release, or emission by any Person of any Hazardous Material on, from, under, at, or relating to the Real Property; or (2) any action has been taken or not taken, or a condition or event likely has occurred or exists, with respect to the Real Property which constitutes or would constitute a violation of any Environmental Laws as to which Bancorp reasonably believes, based on the advice of legal counsel or other consultants, that an AFI Entity could become responsible or liable, or that Bancorp could become responsible or liable, following the Closing Date, for assessment, removal, remediation, monetary damages, or civil, criminal or administrative penalties or other corrective action and in connection with which the amount of expense or Liability which an AFI Entity could incur, or for which Bancorp could become responsible or liable, following the Closing Date, could equal or exceed an aggregate of $250,000 or more as to all such Real Property.

AFI shall prepare the AFI Financial Statements, for periods as of or ending on a date that occurs subsequent to December 31, 2010, in accordance with such modified accounting procedures and policies.
