WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Seller and the Purchaser have executed and delivered a separate agreement for the purchase by Purchaser of four branches of Seller (including certain branch loans and other loans) (the "Branch Purchase Agreement");
WHEREAS, independently of the transactions contemplated by the Branch Purchase Agreement, and on a more accelerated time schedule due to the regulatory and other delays associated with closing the transactions contemplated thereby, the Seller desires, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to sell
and assign certain commercial real estate loans of the Seller (not included within the loans to be purchased and sold under the Branch Purchase Agreement) and the Purchaser desires to purchase such commercial real estate loans, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth:
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements, covenants and provisions contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

|
(b) |
Not later than five business days following the Closing Date (except with respect to those items Purchaser shall reasonably request to be delivered in advance of such date, which items Seller shall use its best efforts to deliver at or immediately after the Closing Date), Seller shall complete appropriate endorsements and deliver the Loan Documents,
along with assignments of real property security instruments in recordable form and assignments of financing statements, in a form reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser, including, but not limited to the following: |

The Purchaser shall make available the form of any proposed letter to customers to Seller for its comment a reasonable time in advance of printing and mailing the letter. If a borrower has arranged for a letter of credit to be issued for its account (and
such letter of credit is among the Loans purchased and sold hereunder), then Purchaser shall use its best effort to arrange for Purchaser's letter of credit to be exchanged for Seller's letter of credit and to return (marked "cancelled") the original letter of credit to Purchaser as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than 90 days from the Closing Date.

|
(a) |
Indemnification by Both Parties in Respect of Representations and Warranties; Survival; Deductible and Cap. Purchaser, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, mutually agree to indemnify and hold each other (and each other's respective employees, officers, directors,
agents and affiliates) harmless from, and to reimburse each other promptly for, any and all losses, liabilities, damages, expenses and other costs (including court costs, costs of investigation and reasonable attorneys' fees) ("Losses") that one party may suffer as the result of the material breach by the other party of any representation or warranty of that other party set forth in this Agreement; provided, however, that: |
|
(i) |
the representations and warranties of the parties shall survive only until the eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date and no indemnification claim shall be brought unless a request for such indemnification has been made within such period of survival, except that (i) the representations and warranties set forth in Sections
3.1 and 4.1, respectively (Corporate Organization) and in Sections 3.2 and 4.2, respectively (Corporate Authority) shall survive indefinitely (the "Fundamental Representations") (such time period is referred to as the "Survival Period") (for the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto specifically intend that the
statutes of limitations applicable to claims with respect to each of the representations and warranties be superseded and replaced by the relevant Survival Period); |
|
(ii) |
all of the covenants or other agreements of the parties contained in this Agreement shall survive until fully performed or fulfilled, unless and to the extent that non-compliance with such covenants or agreements is (i) waived in writing by the party entitled to such performance; |
|
(iii) |
unless otherwise specified by this Agreement. there shall be no liability for Seller or Purchaser under this Section 2.6(a) unless the amount of Losses incurred by an indemnified party exceeds $25,000 in the aggregate (the "Deductible Amount"), provided that, once exceeded, the
Deductible Amount is recoverable along with all other amounts for damages by an indemnified party; and |
|
(iv) |
an indemnifying parties’ liability to an indemnified party under this Section 2.6(a) shall be limited to the aggregate amount of $1,000,000 (the "Indemnification Cap"). |
Notwithstanding the foregoing under this Section 2.6(a), no Deductible Amount will be required to be met and there will be no Indemnification Cap for any Losses related to breach of Fundamental Representations, intentional misrepresentation,
fraud or willful misconduct.
|
(b) |
Indemnification by Seller. In addition to the indemnification provided by Section 2.6(a), and for the avoidance of doubt not subject to the Deductible Amount or Indemnification Cap specified by Section 2.6(a),
Seller shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Purchaser (and its employees, officers, directors, agents and affiliates) from and against any and all Losses arising out of any judicial, administrative or arbitral actions, suits, mediations, investigations, inquiries, proceedings (public or private) or claims or demands (including counterclaims) by or before a governmental entity, including any civil, criminal, investigative or informal actions, audits, demands, claims, hearings, litigations, disputes,
inquiries, investigations or other proceedings of any kind or nature (each such pending or threatened proceeding, claim or demand, a "Legal Proceeding") which Legal Proceeding arises out of, or is in any way related to, the administration of any of the Loans by Seller prior to the opening of business on the Closing Date. |
|
(c) |
Indemnification by Purchaser. In addition to the indemnification provided by Section 2.6(a), and for the avoidance of doubt not subject to the Deductible Amount or Indemnification Cap specified by Section 2.6(a),
Purchaser shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Seller (and its employees, officers, directors, agents and affiliates) from and against any and all Losses arising out of any Legal Proceeding which Legal Proceeding arises out of, or is in any way related to, the administration of any of the Loans by Purchaser subsequent to the opening of business on the Closing Date. |
|
(d) |
Indemnification Procedures. |
|
(i) |
A claim for indemnification by a person claiming entitlement to indemnification hereunder (an "Indemnified Party") for any matter not involving a claim asserted by a third party (a "Third Party Claim") may be asserted by written notice to the party claimed to be responsible for indemnification (the "Indemnifying Party"), which notice shall include
a reasonable description of the basis for the claim, and shall be paid within ten business days of the receipt of such notice. |
|
(ii) |
In the event that any Legal Proceedings shall be instituted or that any Third Party Claim is asserted, the Indemnified Party shall as soon as reasonably practicable cause written notice of the assertion of any Third Party Claim of which it has knowledge, which is covered by this Section 2.6 to
be forwarded to the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder against any Losses that may result from such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its sole expense, to be represented by counsel and to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Third Party Claim, which relates to any Losses for which indemnification is sought hereunder. If the Indemnifying Party
elects to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Third Party Claim, which relates to any Losses for which indemnification is sought hereunder, it shall within ten calendar days (or sooner, if the nature of the Third Party Claim so requires) of receipt of notice of the Third Party Claim notify the Indemnified Party of its intent to do so. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Third Party Claim, which relates to any
Losses for which indemnification is sought hereunder, or fails to notify the Indemnified Party of its election within the timeframe provided for herein, the Indemnified Party may then, but only then, defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for the reasonable actual expenses of defending such Third Party Claim upon submission of periodic bills. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of the
Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may participate, at its own expense, in the defense of such Third Party Claim; provided, that such Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in any such defense with separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party if (i) so requested by the Indemnifying Party to participate, (ii) upon the reasonable advice of counsel to the Indemnified Party a conflict or potential conflict exists between the interests of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party
that would make such separate representation advisable, or (iii) such claim is based upon an investigation, inquiry, or other proceeding by a Governmental Entity; and provided, further, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be required to pay for more than one such counsel (and any appropriate local counsel) for the Indemnified Parties in connection with such Third Party Claim. The parties hereto agree to cooperate fully with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any
such Third Party Claim. |
|
(iii) |
After any final judgment or award shall have been rendered by a governmental body of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of the time in which to appeal therefrom, or a settlement shall have been consummated, or the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall have arrived at a mutually binding agreement with respect to a Third Party
Claim hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall forward to the Indemnifying Party notice of any sums due and owing (including any bills, records or other documentation supporting such sums) by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such matter and the Indemnifying Party shall be required to pay all of the sums so due and owing to the Indemnified Party by wire transfer of immediately available funds within five business days after the date of such notice. Any indemnification payment pursuant
to this Section 2.6 shall be effected by wire transfer of immediately available funds within five business days after the determination thereof. |
|
(iv) |
The failure of the Indemnified Party to give reasonably prompt notice of any Third Party Claim shall not release, waive or otherwise affect the Indemnifying Party’s obligations with respect thereto except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party can demonstrate actual Loss and prejudice as a result of such failure or delay. |
|
(e) |
Reduction for Insurance. The amount which an Indemnifying Party is required to indemnify the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement shall be reduced (including, without limitation, retroactively) by any insurance proceeds actually recovered by or on behalf of such
Indemnified Party in reduction of the related indemnifiable loss (the "Indemnifiable Loss"). Amounts required to be paid, as so reduced, are hereafter called an "Indemnity Payment." If an Indemnified Party shall have received or shall have had paid on its behalf an Indemnity Payment in respect of an Indemnifiable Loss and shall subsequently receive, directly or indirectly, insurance proceeds in respect of such Indemnifiable Loss, then such Indemnified Party shall pay to such Indemnifying
Party a sum equal to the amount of such insurance proceeds up to an amount equal to the Indemnity Payment. |
|
(f) |
Further Assurances. From and after the date hereof, each party agrees to execute and deliver such instruments and to take such other actions as the other party hereto may reasonably request in order to carry out and implement this Agreement. The covenants of each
of the parties hereto pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall survive the Closing. |
2.7 Information Reporting. With respect to the Loans purchased and assumed by the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, the
Purchaser shall be responsible for all tax reporting obligations to the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") (and any state or local taxing authority as is required), including, without limitation, all information required in connection with the filing of IRS Forms 1099 and 5498 for the entire year in which the Closing Date occurs. The Purchaser shall also be responsible for reporting to the customer all interest paid during the entire year in which the Closing Date occurs. The Seller agrees
to provide to the Purchaser information about the Loans up to the Closing Date which is necessary for the Purchaser to comply with the requirements of this Section 2.7, but the Seller shall have no responsibility to provide such information to the customer or the IRS or any other person or agency. The Purchaser agrees to indemnify the Seller for any penalty, interest, claim, fee (including reasonable attorney fees and expenses) or
other liability or expense which may be imposed upon or asserted against the Seller as a result of the Purchaser's failure to timely and accurately comply with its tax reporting obligations pursuant to this Section 2.7 and as required by law, unless such failure is due to the Seller's failure to provide in a timely manner the information relating to the Loans up to the Closing Date. The Seller agrees to indemnify the Purchaser for
any penalty, interest, claim, fee (including reasonable attorney fees and expenses) or other liability or expense which may be imposed upon the Purchaser as a result of the Purchaser's failure to timely and accurately comply with its tax reporting obligations pursuant to this Section 2.7 if such failure is caused by the Seller's failure to provide in a timely manner the information contemplated herein.

|

respects in accordance with all applicable legal requirements), nor has such mortgaged property ever been listed by any governmental agency as containing any Hazardous Substance in violation of legal requirement unless such Hazardous Substance has been remediated; |
|
(xiii) |
the Loan Documents expressly allow the noteholder to advance at any time sums for unpaid insurance premiums, property taxes, or any other payments necessary to protect the value of the mortgaged property or the noteholder's rights in the mortgaged property and permit the noteholder to collect such amounts from the borrower on a deferred basis; and |
