provisional pending receipt by Buyer of the physical items relating to such
settlement; Buyer shall adjust the next daily settlement to reflect any
adjustments resulting from its receipt and examination of the physical
items. Adjustments by Buyer pursuant to the immediately preceding
sentence shall be limited to adjustments to correct errors made by Seller in the
calculation of the amounts represented by the transactions received by it on
Buyer’s behalf, and no adjustments shall be made for the effect of any improper

party’s own expense. If the indemnifying party does not notify the
indemnified party that it will assume the defense, settlement or compromise of
any such claim, action, suit or proceeding within ten (10) Banking Days upon
receipt of notice thereof, the indemnified party shall have the full and sole
right to defend, settle or compromise such claim, action, suit or proceeding
with the consent of the indemnifying party.
10.4. Limitation on
Indemnification.
No
indemnification shall be payable under Section 10.1 or Section 10.2 unless the

sought shall exceed, in the aggregate, $50,000, and then only to the extent of
such excess. No party hereto shall be entitled to indemnification to
the extent that Damages, singly or in the aggregate, shall exceed
$1,000,000. No party hereto shall be entitled to indemnification for
Damages unless claim for indemnification is made within two (2) years of the
date of this Agreement; provided, that this two year limitation shall not apply
to claims relating to breaches of the representations and warranties set forth
in Sections 4.1 and 5.1. In no event shall any party be entitled to any
incidental, consequential, special, exemplary or punitive Damages except to the
extent that the indemnified party becomes liable to any third party for
incidental, consequential special exemplary or punitive damages.
25
10.5. Cooperation.
Seller
shall give prompt notice to Buyer of any facts coming to its attention that may
give rise to a claim for indemnification. Seller shall cooperate with
Buyer in any investigation, or in the defense of any litigation or proceeding
that might give rise to a claim for indemnification or that would give rise to a
claim for indemnification if brought against Seller. Such cooperation
shall include providing witnesses, files, documents and records that Seller is
uniquely in a position to provide.
10.6 Exclusive Remedy.
The
rights established by this Article X shall be the exclusive remedy available to
each party hereto in the event of a claim for Damages by such party other than

(ii) By
either party, upon the expiration of thirty (30) calendar days after the FDIC,
the Banking Commission or any other governmental agency or regulatory authority
issues a decision denying or refusing to grant the approvals or consents
required to be obtained pursuant to this Agreement, unless within said 30-day

(iii) By

ARTICLE
XII
MISCELLANEOUS
12.1. Further
Assurances.
(a) On
and after the Closing Date, Seller agrees to give such further reasonable
assurances and to execute, acknowledge and deliver such bills of sale, deeds,
acknowledgments and other instruments of conveyance and transfer as in Buyer’s
judgment are reasonably necessary and appropriate to vest effectively in Buyer
the full legal and equitable title to all the Assets and
Liabilities.
(b) On
and after the Closing Date, Buyer shall execute, acknowledge and deliver any
documents or instruments as may be necessary and appropriate to relieve and
discharge Seller from its obligations with respect to the
Liabilities.
(c) Seller
and Buyer shall cooperate fully with each other in connection with any
examination conducted by any tax authority subsequent to the Closing Date by
promptly providing to the other, upon written request, information relating to
the tax liability of any business operated by Seller or Buyer with respect to
the Branches.
12.2. Survival of Representations
and Warranties.
Each and
every one of Buyer’s and Seller’s representations and warranties under this
Agreement or contained in any certificate or instrument delivered by either
party at Closing shall survive for a period of two (2) years from the Closing
Date, except that the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 4.1
and 5.1 shall survive indefinitely following the Closing Date.
12.3. Non-Solicitation of
Business.
(a) For
a period of twenty-four (24) months after the Closing Date, Seller
will not specifically target and solicit customers of the Branches utilizing any
customer or mailing list which consists primarily of Customers of the Branch;
provided, however, these restrictions shall not restrict general mass mailings,
telemarketing calls, statement stuffers and other similar communications
directed to all the current customers of Seller or to the public, or newspaper,
radio, or television advertisements of a general nature or otherwise prevent
Seller from taking such actions as may be required to comply with any applicable
federal or state laws, rules, or regulations. The foregoing
restrictions notwithstanding, Seller may continue to solicit Customers of the
Branches with whom Seller has existing business relationships which are normally
established and maintained in offices other than the Branch, and Seller may
continue to solicit such business relationships without restriction after the
Closing Date.
(b) Each
of Seller and Buyer acknowledges that the restrictions and agreements contained
in this Section 12.3 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate
interests of the parties hereto, and that any violation of this Section 12.3 by
one party will cause substantial and irreparable harm to the other party that
would not be quantifiable and for which no adequate remedy would exist at law
and agrees that injunctive relief, in addition to all other remedies, shall be
available therefor.
27
(c) It
is the intent and understanding of each party hereto that if, in any action
before any court or agency legally empowered to enforce this Section 12.3, any
term, restriction, covenant, or promise is found to be unreasonable and for that
reason unenforceable, then such term, restriction, covenant, or promise shall
not thereby be terminated but that it shall be deemed modified to the extent
necessary to make it enforceable by such court or agency and, if it cannot be so
modified, that it shall be deemed amended to delete therefrom such provision or
portion adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, such modification or
amendment in any event to apply only with respect to the operation of this
Section 12.3 in the particular jurisdiction in which such adjudication is
made.
12.4. Entire Agreement and
Amendment.
This
Agreement sets out the complete agreement of the parties with respect to the
matters discussed herein, and supersedes all prior agreements between the
parties, whether written or oral, with respect to such matters. No
provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived except as expressly stated
in writing and executed by both parties. This Agreement expressly
supercedes the Letter of Intent between Seller and Buyer dated December 5,
2008.
12.5. Dispute
Resolution.
(a) Seller
and Buyer each agree to submit all matters of disagreement, dispute, or
controversy between Seller and Buyer under this Agreement to binding arbitration
(except for matters to be resolved by the Mediator concerning the Preliminary
Closing Statement and the Final Closing Statement pursuant to Section 3.3
hereof) before the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”). All
arbitration proceedings shall be conducted by three arbitrators in Charleston,
West Virginia, under the rules of the AAA, except as otherwise provided in this
Section 12.5. The party submitting a matter to arbitration shall
include in the submission the name and address of the arbitrator selected by it,
and the non-submitting party shall submit the name and address of the arbitrator
selected by it within twenty (20) calendar days after receipt of notice of the
submission. The two arbitrators selected by Seller and Buyer shall be
instructed to appoint a third arbitrator as soon as practicable. If
they fail to do so within twenty (20) calendar days after the appointment of the
non-submitting party’s arbitrator, the AAA may appoint the third arbitrator and
shall appoint the third arbitrator within thirty (30) calendar days after the
appointment of the non-submitting party’s arbitrator.
(b)
The fees and expenses of each arbitrator and all other costs and
expenses incurred in the arbitration, including reasonable attorneys’ fees,
shall be borne as specified in the arbitrators’ award.
(c) Notwithstanding
subsection (a) of this Section 12.5 either party shall be entitled to commence a
suit at law for the purpose of (i) obtaining appropriate equitable relief in the
event of a violation, or imminent violation, of Section 6.6 or 7.3 of this
Agreement or (ii) enforcing the indemnification obligation under Article X of
this Agreement. Neither party shall prejudice any right to seek
arbitration of any dispute arising with respect to Section 6.6 or 7.3 or Article
X by commencing such a suit at law.
28
12.6. Counterparts.
This
Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall
constitute an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and
the same instrument.
12.7. Severability.
If any
portion of this Agreement is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
invalid or unenforceable, such declaration shall not affect the validity of the
remaining provisions.
12.8. Applicable
Law.
This
Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of West Virginia, without
regard to principles of conflicts of laws thereof, except to the extent that the
