This
BRANCH PURCHASE AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made as of the 1st day of
February, 2010, between INTEGRA BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking
association, having its principal office in Evansville, Indiana (the "Seller"),
and UNITED COMMUNITY BANK, a Federally-chartered savings association having its
principal office in Lawrenceburg, Indiana (the "Purchaser"):
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS,
the Seller desires, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to sell
and assign certain assets of the Seller associated with Seller's branch offices
located in Xxxxxx, Xxxxx and Versailles, Indiana (the "Branches") plus certain
other loan assets in order to balance (approximately) the consideration for the
purchase and assumption transaction contemplated by this Agreement;
and
WHEREAS,
the Purchaser desires to purchase such assets, and to assume certain deposit and
other liabilities of Seller that are associated with the Branches or with the
other assets, 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:
1.1 Time, Place and Manner of
Closing.
|
(a)
|
The
consummation of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement (the
"Closing") will take place on such date as may be mutually agreed to by
the parties as soon as reasonably practicable following (i) the
satisfaction, or where legally permitted, the waiver of conditions of all
parties to close the transactions contemplated hereby that are set forth
in this Agreement, and (ii) the receipt by Purchaser of all required
regulatory approvals, and the expiration of all applicable waiting periods
specified by the applicable regulatory authority; provided, however, that
if the parties do not otherwise agree prior to such date, then the Closing
shall be held on the first Friday that is at least two business days but
no later than the seventh business day that follows the date as of which
all such conditions have been satisfied (or waived) and all such approvals
have been received and all waiting periods have expired (the date so
fixed, the "Closing Date").
|
|
(b)
|
The
Closing shall be held remotely via the electronic exchange of documents
and signatures on the Closing Date. The parties hereto
acknowledge and agree that (i) all proceedings at the Closing shall be
deemed to be taken and all documents to be executed and delivered by all
parties at the Closing shall be deemed to have been taken and executed
simultaneously, and no proceedings shall be deemed taken nor any documents
executed or delivered until all have been taken, executed or delivered,
and (ii) the Closing shall be deemed to have taken place at the executive
offices of Seller in Evansville,
Indiana.
|
|
(c)
|
Except
as expressly otherwise provided herein, the parties agree that the
transactions contemplated hereby shall be effective as of the close of
business on the Closing Date. It is the intent of the parties
to schedule the Closing on a Friday, after processing Thursday night's
business with Purchaser picking up the needed data processing files from
Seller on Friday to facilitate the computer conversion. Unless
the parties agree that the conversion of the data processing with respect
to the Branches will be performed other than on the weekend immediately
following the Closing Date, the Closing Date shall be on a Friday and such
conversion will be completed prior to the open of business on the
following Monday.
|

which would result in a loss of qualification of such XXX under the Code
or applicable IRS regulations under transfer to
Buyer. “Brokered Deposits” shall mean deposit account
obligations originated by third party financial institutions (not Seller)
that are sold by such institutions to brokers who in turn sell such
deposit account obligations to third parties (such as

|
1.5 Liabilities Not
Assumed. If a liability or obligation of the Seller, or any of
the Seller’s Affiliates of any kind or nature, known or unknown, contingent or
otherwise, is not described with particularity by Section 1.4, it shall
not be deemed to be a Liability that is assumed by the Purchaser under this
Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence,

Seller:

1.12 Estimated
Payment. At the Closing and subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, the Seller shall pay the Purchaser by wire transfer of
immediately available funds on the Closing Date an amount (the "Estimated
Purchase Price") equal to (a) the Deposit Liabilities as of the close of
business on the second (2nd) business day prior to the Closing Date determined
in accordance with Section 1.4(a) hereof
reduced by (b) the sum of the following items (each to be determined for
purposes of calculating the Estimated Purchase Price as of the close of business
on the second (2nd) business day prior to the Closing Date): (i) the aggregate
unpaid principal balances of the Loans, plus or minus the balances of any
transferred escrow accounts; (ii) the net book value of the Fixed Assets as
shown on the books and records of the Seller; (iii) the face amount of the
xxxxx cash, ATM cash, off-site ATM cash, teller cash, and vault cash and cash
equivalent items maintained at the Branches, and amounts due from depository
institutions attributable to the Branches determined in accordance with Section 1.2(g)
hereof; (iv) the aggregate interest and Late Fees receivable but unpaid on the
Loans; (v) the aggregate of the "Appraised Fair Market Value" (as defined by and
determined in accordance with Section 9.15(a) of
this Agreement) for the Real Property owned by Seller; and (vi) an amount equal
to 4.5% of the average balance of the accounts representing the Premium-Based
Deposit Liabilities over the period commencing on the date of this Agreement and
ending at the close of business on the Closing Date (with such premium to be
estimated as of the average figure for the period ended the second (2nd)
business day prior to the Closing Date for purposes of the Estimated Purchase
Price calculation); such payment formula shall be further adjusted in accordance
with Section
1.14. “Premium-Based Deposit Liabilities” means all of
Seller’s obligations and liabilities related to Seller’s deposit accounts at the
Branches which are not (a) Excluded Deposits, or (b) time-based Municipal
Deposits, the balance of which is increased in amount (excluding interest,
dividends, fees, costs and other charges that have been accrued but not paid,
credited, or charged to such Municipal Deposits) between the date of this
Agreement and the close of business on the Closing Date, but only to the extent
of such increase in balance; or (c) time-based Municipal Deposits that are
opened between the date of this Agreement and the close of business on the
Closing Date. “Municipal Deposits” shall mean deposits of government
units and other public entities. In the event the preceding formula
produces a negative number, the absolute value of such amount shall be paid by
the Purchaser to the Seller by wire transfer on the Closing Date and the Seller
shall have no obligation to make any payment to the Purchaser on the Closing
Date. The payment formula referred to above is for the sole purpose
of determining the amount of cash transferable at the Closing Date and shall not
constitute an allocation of the purchase price for the Branches to any
particular asset being transferred or liability being assumed. On the
second (2nd) business
day before the Closing Date, Seller shall provide to Purchaser an Estimated
Purchase Price closing statement (the “Draft Closing Statement”) which reflects
the calculation of the Estimated Purchase Price based on that date.

1.13 Adjusted
Payment.
|
(a)
|
On
the fifth (5th) business day after the Closing Date or such earlier date
as may be agreed to in writing by the parties (the "Adjustment Payment
Date"), subject to Section 1.13
(b), an adjustment payment (the "Adjustment Payment") shall be made
either by Seller to Purchaser or by Purchaser to Seller, as appropriate,
so as to correct any discrepancy between the amount of the Estimated
Purchase Price paid under Section 1.12
and the purchase price recalculated using the values for each Asset and
Liability (according to the formula specified by Section 1.12)
as of the close of business on the Closing Date (or for the period then
ended, as the case may be), such purchase price being referred to as the
“Adjusted Purchase Price.” Seller shall provide a closing
statement (the “Final Closing Statement”) which reflects the calculation
of the Adjusted Purchase Price and the calculation of any necessary
Adjustment Payment relative to the Estimated Purchase
Price. Seller shall also furnish revised final schedules to
this Agreement as of the close of business on the Closing Date (or for the
period then ended, as the case may be). Seller shall make available to
Purchaser and/or its representatives such work papers, schedules and
other supporting data as may be requested by Purchaser to enable
Purchaser to verify such determinations.
|
|
(b)
|
The
Adjustment Payment due to either party pursuant to Section 1.13
shall be binding and payable to the other party by wire transfer in
immediately available funds to an account designated by the payee party no
later than the fifth (5) business day following the Closing Date, provided that
within such five (5) business day period, Buyer does not
dispute the Adjusted Purchase Price. In the event that Buyer
disputes the Adjustment Purchase Price, such dispute shall be resolved in
the following manner:
|
|
(1)
|
Buyer
shall notify Seller in writing (the “Notice of Disagreement”) of such
dispute within five (5) days after Buyer’s receipt of the Final Closing
Statement, which notice shall specify in reasonable detail the nature of
the dispute, indicating those specific items that are in dispute (the
“Disputed Items”). To the extent that Buyer provides a Notice
of Disagreement within such five-day period, all items that are not
Disputed Items shall be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes
hereunder and the Adjustment Payment for all items other than Disputed
Items shall be made by the appropriate party within the five (5) business
day period specified above.
|
|
(2)
|
During
the five (5) day period following Seller’s receipt of a Notice of
Disagreement, Seller and Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to resolve any Disputed Items. If and to the extent
that, at the end of such five-day period, the parties have reached written
agreement with respect to any or all Disputed Items, the Adjustment
Payment shall, to that extent, be further adjusted to reflect such written
agreement and shall become final and binding upon the parties hereto, and
a supplemental payment representing the Adjustment Payment, as so further
adjusted, shall by made by the appropriate party with five (5) business
days after the date of such written
agreement.
|
- 10
-
|
(3)
|
If,
at the end of the five-day period specified in subsection (2) above,
Purchaser and Seller shall have failed to reach a written agreement with
respect to all of such Disputed Items (those Disputed Items that remain in
dispute at the end of such period are the “Unresolved Changes”), then
Purchaser and Seller shall promptly refer only those Unresolved Changes to
a mutually agreeable nationally recognized independent certified public
accounting firm (the “Firm”) to make a determination as to the subject
matter of the Unresolved Changes. If Purchaser and Seller fail
to agree on a Firm within three (3) days after the end of the five-day
period specified in subsection (2) above, the Firm shall be selected by
the American Arbitration Association. The Firm shall issue its
written decision as promptly as practicable and in any event within thirty
(30) days following the submission of the Unresolved Changes to the Firm
for resolution, and such decision shall be final, binding and conclusive
on the parties (the “Firm Determination”). In the event
Unresolved Changes are submitted to the Firm for resolution as provided
herein, the fees, charges and expenses of the Firm (the “Firm Expenses”)
shall be paid by Purchaser and Seller based on the percentages which (x)
the difference between the Disputed Amount and the Firm Determination
bears to (y) the Disputed Amount (with the smaller percentage being paid
by the party whose calculation of the Unresolved Changes was nearer in
amount to the Firm Determination). For example, if Purchaser’s
calculation of the Unresolved Changes is $1,000 and Seller’s calculation
of the Unresolved Changes is $2,000 (resulting in a Disputed Amount of
$1,000) and the Firm Determination is $1,700, then 70% of the Firm
Expenses shall be paid by Purchaser and 30% of the of the Firm Expenses
shall be paid by Seller. As used in this subsection (3),
“Disputed Amount” means the difference between Purchaser’s and Seller’s
respective calculations of the Unresolved Changes and “Firm Determination”
means the amount with respect to the Unresolved Changes determined by the
Firm in accordance with this subsection
(3).
|
|
(4)
|
Following
the final determination of the Unresolved Changes, Seller shall
immediately pay to Buyer or Buyer shall immediately pay to Seller, as the
case may be, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to payee’s
account, an amount equal to the difference between the Adjusted Purchase
Price (as finally determined giving effect to the Unresolved Changes) and
the Estimated Purchase Price (as it may have previously been adjusted),
plus interest on any unpaid difference calculated using the Federal Funds
Rate on such amount from the Closing
Date.

1.14 Pro-Rata Adjustment of
Income and Expenses.
|
(a)
|
Except
as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, it is the intention
of the parties that Seller will operate the Branches for its own account
and own the Assets (and all rights associated therewith) until the close
of business on the Closing Date, and that Purchaser shall operate the
Branches, own the Assets and assume the Liabilities (and all rights
associated therewith) for its own account from and after the close of
business on the Closing Date. Thus, except as otherwise
specifically provided in this Agreement, items of income and expense shall
be prorated on a per diem basis as of the close of business on the Closing
Date, and shall be settled between Seller and Purchaser as of the Closing
Date or as of the date set forth in Section 1.13(b)(4). Items
of proration will be handled as an adjustment to the Estimated Purchase
Price and the Adjusted Purchase Price, unless otherwise agreed by the
parties hereto.
|
|
(b)
|
For
purposes of this Agreement, items of proration and other adjustments shall
include, without limitation: (i) all rents, utility payments, safety
deposit box fees, real and personal property taxes and similar items of
income and expense relating to the Assets, (ii) insurance premiums payable
by Purchaser to the FDIC attributable to insurance coverage for the
Deposit Liabilities for the assessment period that includes the Closing
Date; (iii) fees for customary annual or periodic licenses or
permits; (iv) and other prepaid items of income and expense, in each
case as of the close of business on the Closing
Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if accurate arrangements
cannot be made as of the Closing Date, or as of the date set forth under
Section 1.13(b)(4), for any of the foregoing items of proration, the
parties shall apportion the charges for the foregoing items on the basis
of the xxxx therefor for the most recent billing period prior to the
Closing Date and shall make appropriate adjustments as soon as reasonably
practicable thereafter. Any unearned noninterest income associated with
the Branches, except as specifically provided in this
Agreement, shall also be adjusted pro rata between the parties as of the
close of business on the Closing Date. Any expense relating to
the Branches which arises on and after the close of business on the
Closing Date will be paid by the
Purchaser.
|
1.15
Allocation of
Purchase Price. The purchase price paid and liabilities
assumed by the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement shall be allocated on an
allocation schedule to be agreed upon by the Purchaser and the Seller within
five business days after the Closing Date. This allocation is
intended to comply with the allocation method required by Section 1060 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Purchaser
and the Seller shall cooperate to comply with all substantive and procedural
requirements of Section 1060 and any regulations thereunder, and the allocation
shall be adjusted if and to the extent necessary to comply with the requirements
of Section 1060.
- 12
-
1.16 IRAs. With
respect to Deposit Liabilities in IRAs (that are not Excluded IRAs), the
Purchaser shall be responsible, at Purchaser's expense (and the Seller will use
its reasonable best efforts to cooperate with the Purchaser in doing so) in
taking any action reasonably necessary to accomplish either the appointment of
the Purchaser as successor custodian or the delegation to the Purchaser (or to
an affiliate of the Purchaser) of Seller’s authority and responsibility as
custodian of all such IRAs, including, but not limited to, sending to the
depositors thereof appropriate notices, cooperating with the Purchaser in
soliciting consents from such depositors, and filing any appropriate
applications with applicable regulatory authorities. If, notwithstanding the
foregoing, as of the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall be unable to retain
Deposit Liabilities in respect of an XXX, such Deposit Liabilities shall be
deemed to be an Excluded XXX for purposes of this Agreement.

deemed to require the Seller to breach any obligation of confidentiality or to
reveal any proprietary information (other than with respect to the Assets and
the Liabilities), trade secrets or marketing or strategic plans.
2.3 Confidentiality. Each
of the parties will hold, and will cause its officers, directors, employees and

2.6
Safekeeping. The
Seller agrees to transfer and deliver to the Purchaser on the close of business
on the Closing Date all safe deposit box contents, including without limitation,
securities, papers, valuables and other items (collectively, "Safekeeping
Items"), held by the Seller in safekeeping for its customers at the Branches,
together with all records, keys, combinations, codes, etc., relating thereto (in

The

(c)
|
Purchaser
shall grant service credit to each Transferred Employee for his or her
service with the Seller on or before the Closing Date (including service
credited by the Seller as a successor in interest by merger) for purposes

vested rights (but not for purposes of benefit accrual) in any pension,
thrift, profit-sharing, life insurance, disability, or other employee
benefit plan or program now in effect or hereafter maintained by or on
behalf of Purchaser and with regard to any medical benefit plan covering
Purchaser's employees. There shall be an open enrollment period
for the Transferred Employees who have been employed by Seller for a
period of more than twelve (12) months without regard to any preexisting
conditions of such Transferred Employees or their dependents, consistent
with the requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act of 1996.

|
(d)
|
Prior

operations.

|
Seller
shall comply with the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of
1985 ("COBRA"), for all of Seller's former employees and other qualifying
beneficiaries for whom COBRA qualifying events occurred before or
coincident with the Closing Date, and Purchaser shall have no
responsibility for any such
coverage.
|
|
(f)
|
Purchaser
shall not assume any accrued vacation or sick days, severance benefits, or
other benefits owed to any Employee by Seller as of (and including) the
Closing Date. Seller shall pay the Transferred Employees any
such benefits to which they are entitled through the close of business on
the Closing Date, except for any accrued, but unused, sick
days. In determining the length of a Transferred Employee's
vacation benefits for years after 2010, Purchaser shall treat the
Transferred Employee's service with Seller as if it were service with
Purchaser.
|
|
(g)
|
Any
(i) Employee of Seller who does not become a Transferred Employee (other
than by reason of a refusal of such Employee to accept an offer of
employment with the Purchaser on terms not substantially less favorable to
Employee than Employee's present terms of employment with Seller), and
(ii) any Transferred Employee who is terminated by Purchaser (other than
for cause) within six months after the Closing Date shall be entitled to
receive from Purchaser a payment in the nature of severance based on years
of service with Seller, equal to one week of base pay for each full year
of such service, subject to a minimum of two weeks and a maximum of 26
weeks, which payment shall be made within thirty (30) days following such
termination of employment.
|
2.8 Notification to Branch
Customers.
|
(a)
|
The
Purchaser shall at such time as shall be mutually agreeable to Purchaser
and Seller prepare and mail a letter (to each borrower having a Loan or
depositor whose Deposit Liabilities are expected to be assumed by
Purchaser) informing such customer of the nature of such transaction and
the continuing availability of services to be provided by the Purchaser in
the Branches after the Closing Date. The Purchaser shall make

the Closing Date such deposit tickets, checks, coupon books, withdrawal
orders and other forms to each customer having such an account, each such
document to be encoded with Purchaser's identification numbers and to be
accompanied by Purchaser's letter, in form and substance satisfactory to
Seller, advising that, from and after the Closing Date, such newly issued
deposit tickets, checks, coupon books, withdrawal orders and other forms
are to be used instead of the corresponding existing documents of Seller
with respect to the customer's deposit account maintained at the Branches,
and that any such existing documents of Seller are to be
destroyed.
|
|
(c)
|
The
Purchaser shall take any other actions required by law or regulation to
notify customer or depositors of the Branches or residents of the
communities in which the Branches are located of the transfers and
assumptions occurring pursuant to this Agreement. The
out-of-pocket and other costs of the mailings required by of
this section shall be borne by
Purchaser.

2.9 Payment of Items After the
Closing Date. Following the Closing Date:
|
(a)
|
The
Purchaser agrees to pay in accordance with law and customary banking
practices all properly drawn and presented checks, drafts and withdrawal
orders presented to the Purchaser by mail, over the counter or through the
check clearing system of the banking industry, by depositors related to
the Deposit Liabilities, whether drawn on the checks, withdrawal or draft
forms provided by the Seller or by the Purchaser, and in all other
respects to discharge, in the usual course of the banking business, the
duties and obligations of the Seller with respect to the balances due and
owing to the depositors with respect to whom the Purchaser has assumed the
Deposit Liabilities. The Purchaser's obligations hereunder to
honor checks, drafts and withdrawal orders on forms provided by the Seller
and carrying its imprint (including name and transit routing number) shall
not apply to any such check, draft or withdrawal order presented to the
Purchaser more than sixty (60) days following the Closing
Date.
|
|
(b)
|
If
any of such depositors, instead of accepting the obligation of the
Purchaser to pay the Deposit Liabilities, shall demand payment from the
Seller for all or any part of any such Deposit Liabilities, the Seller
shall not be liable or responsible for making such
payment.
|
- 19
-
|
(c)
|
After
the Closing, the Seller shall be and have the rights and obligations of a
"Collecting Bank" or "Intermediary Bank" under Article 4 of the Uniform
Commercial Code (including the right to chargeback dishonored items) as
then in effect in Indiana with respect to items drawn on the accounts
transferred which are received by the Seller for
processing. Items received for processing against the Deposit
Liabilities shall be grouped and delivered to the Purchaser within the
time limits provided by the Uniform Commercial Code in a special cash
letter separately identified as "Transferred Accounts Cash Letter." For
purposes of paying the Purchaser's obligations to the Seller under this
Section
2.9, the Purchaser will establish a settlement account with the
Seller at the Closing Date in a collected amount equal to $100,000, which
amount will be maintained by the Purchaser for a period of sixty (60) days
following the Closing Date, against which will be (i) debited the
checks, returns and items hereafter referred to in this sentence and
(ii) charged amounts in accordance with Section 2.9(c)
hereof to provide, among other things, for the settlement by the Purchaser
of checks, returns and items which are presented to the Seller within
sixty (60) days after the Closing Date and which are drawn on or
chargeable to accounts transferred to the Purchaser. After the
expiration of the 60-day period following the Closing Date, the Seller
will dishonor checks, drafts or withdrawal orders drawn on the Deposit
Liabilities unless the Seller and the Purchaser mutually agree to extend
the 60-day period and extend the provision for a settlement account as
necessary. The Purchaser agrees to arrange for the
transportation directly and pay the expenses of transporting from the
Seller to the Purchaser all checks, drafts, orders of withdrawal, cash
letters, magnetic tapes and other items related to the Seller's receipt of
items relating to the Deposit Liabilities after the Closing
Date. These transportation expenses may be charged against the
settlement account of the
Purchaser.
|
|
(d)
|
The
Purchaser agrees to pay promptly to the Seller (i) an amount
equivalent to the amount of any checks, drafts or withdrawal orders
credited by the Seller before the Closing Date to such transferred account
that are returned to the Seller unpaid after the Closing Date, and
(ii) for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days from the Closing
Date, an amount equivalent to the amount of any checks, drafts or
withdrawal orders credited by the Seller after the Closing Date to such
transferred account that are returned to the Seller unpaid after the
Closing Date. Upon receipt thereof, the Seller shall
immediately forward any such check, draft or other item to the Purchaser,
and subject to the time limitations referenced herein, the Purchaser shall
remit to the Seller the amount of any such
item(s).
|
2.10 ACH. As
soon as practicable following the Closing Date, the Purchaser will notify all
Automated Clearing House ("ACH") originators effecting debits or credits to the
accounts of the Deposit Liabilities of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement. For a period of 60 days beginning on the Closing Date,
Seller will honor all ACH items related to accounts of Deposit Liabilities which
are mistakenly routed or presented to Seller. Seller will make no
charge to Purchaser for honoring such items, and will use its best efforts to
transmit to Purchaser via facsimile, by 10:00 a.m. each day or as soon as
practicable thereafter, each day's ACH data that is to be posted that
day. Items mistakenly routed or presented after the 60-day period may
be returned to the presenting party. Seller and Purchaser shall make
arrangements to provide for the daily settlement with immediately available
funds by Purchaser of any ACH items honored by Seller.
2.11 Loan Payments and
Information Received After the Closing Date.
|
(a)
|
In
order to enhance the transition of the Loan payment collection process
after Closing, the Purchaser agrees, at its cost and expense, to notify
each Loan debtor in writing, within five (5) calendar days after the
Closing Date, of the Purchaser's assumption of the Loan and that the
debtor should make payments on the Loan directly to the Purchaser rather
than making payment to the Seller. When giving such notice, the
Purchaser shall furnish each debtor with a new coupon book for the
Loan.
|
- 20
-
|
(b)
|
The
Seller agrees that for the first 60 days following the Closing Date, it
shall forward promptly (which shall mean delivery electronically and/or by
an overnight courier service at Seller's expense) to the
Purchaser:
|
|
(i)
|
any
payments which are received by the Seller on or after the Closing Date
that relate to the Loans and to provide sufficient information so that any
such payments may be properly applied to the extent such information is
available to the Seller; and
|
|
(ii)
|
any
notices or other correspondence received on or after the Closing Date that
relate to the Loans or other
Assets.
|
|
(c)
|
For
a period of 60 days following the Closing Date, the Seller shall have the
right to chargeback any dishonored Loan payment to the extent that it has
collected and credited such Loan payment for payment on the Loan
account.
|
2.12
Seller
Identification. On the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall
substitute its name and logo for the name and logo of the Seller on all signs at
the Branches and shall be entitled to remove all signs which carry the name and
logo of the Seller. The Seller agrees, at its own expense, to remove
from the premises as promptly as practicable after the Closing Date any such
signs so removed by the Purchaser. The Purchaser agrees to replace
promptly all written or electronic materials bearing the Seller's name and/or
logo used in the ordinary course of business, including stationery and forms,
with written or electronic materials bearing the Purchaser's name and/or logo,
including without limitation, new coupon books for Loans.

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")

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

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);
|
- 21
-
|
(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 2.13(a)

$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 2.13(a)
shall be limited to the aggregate amount of $1,000,000 (the
"Indemnification Cap").
|
Notwithstanding
the foregoing under this Section 2.13(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.

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,

|
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 made 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 2.13 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 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.
|
- 23
-
|
(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 2.13
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 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.
|
- 24
-
|
(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 2.13
shall survive the Closing.
|
2.14 Assumption of
Risks.
|
(a)
|
If
the Real Property or other improvements of the Branches are destroyed or
materially damaged by fire or other casualty prior to the Closing and
shall not be substantially repaired or replaced or shall not have
insurance coverage which in the reasonable determination of the Purchaser
is sufficient to repair or replace such Real Property or other
improvements, the Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this
Agreement or to accept the applicable Real Property as damaged together
with any rights of the Seller to receive insurance proceeds or to exercise
any other rights of the Seller following their assignment to the Purchaser
at the Closing, provided, however, the risk of loss for the Real Property
is to remain with the Seller until the passing of the deed at the
Closing.
|
|
(b)
|
Effective
as of the Closing, the Seller will discontinue any casualty and liability
insurance coverage maintained with respect to the premises of the Branches
and all Assets. The Purchaser shall be solely responsible for
all casualty losses and liability claims arising at and after the
Closing.
|
|
(c)
|
Effective
as of the Closing, the Seller will discontinue providing any security for
persons and property at the Branches and the Purchaser assumes all
liabilities arising out of injury or damage to persons and property on and
after the close of business on Closing
Date.
|
|
(d)
|
After
the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall be responsible for maintaining
adequate insurance with respect to the losses described in (b) and (c)
above and otherwise with respect to the operation of the
Branches.
|
|
(e)
|
At
the Closing, the Seller shall pay any transfer taxes or fees required in
connection with the transfer of the Real Property and the basic premium
for an owner's policy or policies of title insurance for the Real Property
in the amounts of their respective Appraised Fair Market Values (as
defined by and determined in accordance with Section
9.15(a)). The Purchaser shall pay the costs of any endorsements or
any lender's policy requested by the Purchaser, if
necessary. The Seller shall provide an owner's or vendor's
affidavit to the title company sufficient for the title company to delete
the so-called "standard" exceptions to the title policy (other
than those exceptions that would require a survey to
delete).
|
- 25
-
2.15
Information
Reporting. With respect to the Loans purchased and Deposit
Liabilities 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. If the Closing Date occurs on or prior to April 15, 2010,
then the Purchaser assumes responsibility for preparing and filing IRS Form 5498
for the 2009 tax year for all XXX accounts and the Seller agrees to provide the
Purchaser with the information needed to prepare such Forms. The
Purchaser shall also be responsible for reporting to the customer all interest
paid or earned during the entire year in which the Closing Date
occurs. The Seller agrees to provide to the Purchaser information
about the Deposit Liabilities and Loans up to and including the Closing Date
which is necessary for the Purchaser to comply with the requirements of this
Section 2.15,
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 2.15 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 Deposit Liabilities and Loans
up to and including 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 2.15 if such
failure is caused by the Seller's failure to provide in a timely and accurate
manner the information contemplated herein.
2.16 Restrictive
Covenants. For a period of two (2) years after the Closing
Date, Seller shall not solicit any of the Transferred Employees for employment
by Seller or target and solicit customers of the Branches for the provision of
services offered by or competitive with services offered by Purchaser; provided,
however, these restrictions shall not restrict general mass mailings or other
similar communications provided such communications do not utilize or
incorporate any customer or mailing list compiled from customers of the Branches
or which consists primarily of customers of the Branches or which are targeted
only to Xxxxxx County, Indiana. In addition, Seller will not, for a period of
one year after the Closing Date, establish a deposit-taking or loan originating
office in Xxxxxx County, Indiana; provided, however, that nothing herein shall
prevent Seller from acquiring and operating a branch in Xxxxxx County, Indiana
through the whole purchase of a financial institution whose main office is not
located in Xxxxxx County, Indiana.
2.17 Servicing of Certain
Loans. The Seller agrees to service, as Purchaser's
agent, each of the Loans identified on Schedule 1.2(a)(iv)
from and after the close of business on the Closing Date and for so long as
Purchaser requests that it do so (but not later than the date that any such Loan
has been paid in full or has been re-sold, in whole or in part, by
Purchaser). Such servicing shall be on customary terms and conditions
to be agreed upon between Purchaser and Seller prior to the Closing Date, and
shall be performed without fee or other expense to Purchaser, except that Seller
shall be entitled to require that Purchaser pay for (or reimburse Seller for)
reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred by Purchaser after the close of
business on the Closing Date in connection with such servicing.

their respective terms, subject to the provisions of federal and other
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, receivership,
conservatorship or similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of
creditors' rights generally, now or hereafter in effect, and subject to general
equity principles, which may limit enforcement of certain remedies.

thereof. To the best of Seller's knowledge, Seller has
properly perfected or caused to be properly perfected valid and

perfection continues to be in effect, such security interests, liens, or
other interests are assignable and have the priority reflected in the

personal property subject to the Leases and the Fixed Assets are all of
the material tangible assets owned or leased by the Seller and used by it

taken as a whole, are in good operating condition and repair, giving
consideration to its age and use and subject to ordinary wear and tear,
and will be received in "AS IS" condition, with no other warranties by the
Seller as to their condition or future performance, except those

Branches has been received by the
Seller.
|
|
(d)
|
The
Seller makes no covenant, representation or warranty as to the suitability
of the Fixed Assets or the Real Property, or as to the physical condition
thereof for any purpose whatsoever except as set forth in Section

for the purpose of acquiring the Fixed Assets and the Real Property, and
the Purchaser hereby waives any and all objections to or claims with
respect to any and all physical characteristics and existing conditions of
the Fixed Assets and the Real Property, including without limitation, any
hazardous materials in, at, on, under or related to the Fixed Assets or
the Real Property. The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that
the Fixed Assets and the Real Property are to be assigned or sold and
conveyed to, and purchased and accepted by, the Purchaser in their present
condition, "AS IS" and with all faults, and the Purchaser hereby assumes

thereof, including such inspections of the buildings thereon, as the
Purchaser deems necessary or appropriate. The cost of any such

of its properties is bound, or (iii) any statute, law, decree, regulation
or order of any governmental authority once the Governmental Approvals are
obtained. Seller has no knowledge of any reason why the Governmental
Approvals would not be obtained.
3.5 Loans. Each
Loan was made in the ordinary course of business, was not known to be
uncollectible at the time it was made, accrues interest in accordance with the
terms of the Loan and was made in accordance with Seller’s customary lending
standards and written loan policies and in compliance with all applicable laws
and regulations. Seller’s Loan Files for the Loans contain all originally
executed notes, leases and other evidences of any indebtedness, including
without limitation all originally executed loan agreements, loan participation
agreements and certificates, security agreements, mortgages, guarantees, UCC
financing statements and similar documents evidencing collateral or other
financial accommodations relating to the Loans (the “Loan
Documents”). All Loan Documents are correct in amount, and, to the
knowledge of Seller, genuine as to signatures of the parties thereto, including, but
not limited to makers and endorsers and of Seller, and were given for valid
consideration and are enforceable in accordance with their respective terms
(except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy or creditors’ relief
laws of general application), and none of the obligations represented by the
Loan Documents have been modified, altered, forgiven, discharged or otherwise
disposed of except as indicated by the Loan Documents contained among the Loan
Files or as a result of bankruptcy or other debtor’s relief laws of general
application. To the knowledge of Seller, no maker, signatory or
guarantor on any Loan is in bankruptcy and none of the Loans are subject to any
offsets or claims of offset, or claims of other liability on the part of Seller.
Except for FHA or similar government guaranteed loans, no Loans have been sold
subject to an agreement to repurchase. No borrower, customer or other party in
connection with the Loans has notified Seller, or has asserted against Seller,
in each case in writing, any “lender liability” or similar claim, and, to the
knowledge of Seller, no borrower, customer or other third party in connection
with the Loans has given Seller any oral notification of, or orally asserted to
or against Seller, any such claim. Each Loan to be purchased pursuant
to Section 1.2
hereof, was made, funded and remains in material compliance with all applicable
laws, orders and regulations. To the knowledge of the Seller, the
records of the Seller regarding all Loans outstanding are accurate in all
material respects and the risk classifications for the Loans outstanding are, in
the best judgment of the management of the Seller, appropriate. To
the knowledge of the Seller, each Loan is the legal, valid and binding
obligation of the obligor and any guarantor, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency,
fraudulent conveyance and other law of general applicability relating to or
affecting creditors' rights and to general principles of equity, and no defense,
offset or counterclaim has been asserted with respect to any such
Loan.
- 29
-
3.6 Deposits. The
deposit records of the Branches accurately reflect the Deposit Liabilities and
are and shall be sufficient to enable Purchaser to conduct a banking business
with respect to the Branches. There are no material uncured violations or
violations with respect to which material refunds or restitution may be required
with respect to the Deposit Liabilities and the terms and conditions and other
documentation with respect to the Deposit Liabilities complies in all material
respects with all applicable laws and regulations and has been provided to
Purchaser. The Deposit Liabilities are insured by the FDIC to the
full extent provided by federal law and regulations. Seller is in
material compliance with all terms and conditions and other documentation
applicable to the Deposit Liabilities. Seller shall deliver to the
Purchaser as of the Closing Date (i) TINs (or record of appropriate
exemption) for all holders of the Deposit Liabilities; and (ii) all other
information in Seller's possession or reasonably available to Seller required by
applicable law to be provided to the IRS with respect to the Assets or the
Deposit Liabilities and the holders thereof. Seller hereby certifies
that such information, when delivered, shall accurately reflect the information
provided by Seller's customers. To the best of Seller's knowledge,
there are not any "kiting" schemes associated with any of the Deposit
Liabilities.
3.7 Statements True and
Correct. No representation or warranty made by the Seller nor
any statement, certificate or instrument furnished or to be furnished to the
Purchaser by the Seller pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, contains or will contain any untrue
statement of material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading. The information relating to
the Branches provided or to be provided by the Seller will not contain any
untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary to make such statements contained therein not
misleading.
3.8 Compliance with
Laws. The Seller has complied in all material respects with
all laws, regulations and orders applicable to the Leases, the Fixed Assets, the
safe deposit business, the Deposit Liabilities (and the administration thereof)
and the Loans, and has obtained all governmental permits or licenses required by
the business of the Branches, and the present use of such assets by the Seller
does not violate in any material respect any law, regulation or
order. No notice or warning material to the current business or
operations or future prospects of the Branches has been received from any
governmental authority with respect to any failure or alleged failure of the
Seller to comply in any respect with any law, regulation or order nor is any
such notice or warning proposed or threatened so far as is known to management
of the Seller.
3.9 Environmental
Matters.
|
(a)
|
As
used herein, the term "Environmental Laws" shall mean all local, state and
federal environmental and health and safety laws, regulations, ordinances,
administrative and judicial orders and common law standards in all
jurisdictions in which Seller, the Branches or its predecessors by merger
have done business or owned, leased or operated
property. Environmental Laws shall include, without limitation,
the Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the Federal
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, the
Federal Clean Water Act, the Federal Clean Air Act, the Federal
Occupational Safety and Health Act, and their state and local
counterparts.
|
- 30
-
|
(b)
|
Neither
Seller nor the Branches has received any notice from any person or entity
that any of Seller, the Branches or its predecessors by merger or the
operation or condition of any property ever owned, leased or operated by
any of them are or were in violation of any Environmental Laws or that any
of them are responsible for the cleanup or other remediation of any
pollutants, contaminants, or hazardous or toxic wastes, substances or
materials at, on or beneath any such
property.
|
3.10 Taxes. Seller
shall pay, credit Purchaser for paying, or make appropriate provision to pay in
accordance with ordinary business practices all federal, state and local income,
excise, payroll, withholding, property, franchise, shares, sales, use and
transfer taxes, if any, which have accrued (whether or not they are due and
payable) through the Closing Date. Any claims for refunds of taxes
which have been paid by Seller shall remain the property of Seller.
3.11 Third-Party
Claims. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.11, there
are no actions, suits or proceedings, pending or, to the best of Seller's
knowledge, threatened against or affecting Seller or any interest or right of
Seller, as such might relate to the Branches or against or affecting the Assets,
the Deposit Liabilities, or the banking business of the Branches.
3.12 No
Broker. Other than Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxx, Inc. ("KBW"),
no broker or finder, or other party or agent performing similar functions, has
been retained by Seller or is entitled to be paid based upon any agreements,
arrangements or understandings made by Seller in connection with the
transactions contemplated hereby. Any payment to which KBW or any
such other broker or finder is entitled shall be the sole responsibility of
Seller.
3.13 Assets. Seller
has not received notice that any governmental authority considers the Branches
to violate or to have violated, fire, zoning, health, safety, building,
hazardous waste or environmental code or other ordinance, law or regulation or
order of any government or agency, body or subdivision thereof, or any private
covenants, restrictions or easements. The Fixed Assets are used in
the operation of the Branches and are in satisfactory condition taking into
account their age and reasonable wear and tear.
3.14 Leases. To
the best of its knowledge, Seller has delivered to the Purchaser true and
correct copies of each of the Leases. Each of the Leases is valid and
in full force and effect in accordance with its terms and the Seller knows of no
defaults under any Lease. No event or condition has occurred or
exists (including the execution of this Agreement), or, to the best knowledge of
the Seller, is alleged by any of the other parties thereto to have occurred or
existed, which constitute, or with lapse of time or giving of notice or both
might constitute, a default or breach under any of the Leases. There
are no contracts or agreements that related to the Branches that have not been
disclosed to the Purchaser.

Warranties.

Real
Estate Matters.
|
(a)
|
Within
five (5) business days following execution of this Agreement, Purchaser
shall, at Purchaser's expense, engage an independent third party
appraiser, reasonably acceptable to Seller, to conduct an appraisal of
each Real Property and shall use its best efforts to obtain the report of
all such appraisals within thirty (30) calendar days of the date of this
Agreement. Purchaser shall provide Seller with a copy of the
appraisals as and when received. Seller shall have the right to
agree or reasonably disagree with the appraised values of the Real
Estate. If and to the extent that Seller reasonably
disagrees with the appraised value of any Real Estate, and if Purchaser
and Seller do not otherwise agree at such time to a different value,
Seller shall within five days of expressing its disagreement with such
appraised value(s) obtain its own appraisal(s) at its expense, conducted
by an appraiser reasonably acceptable to Purchaser and shall use its best
efforts to obtain the report of all such new appraisal(s) within 30 days
of the date of expressing its disagreement. The "Appraised Fair
Market Value" for each Real Estate property shall be (i) the value fixed
by the Purchaser’s appraisal, if the Seller agrees to that value, (ii) the
amount otherwise agreed to by the parties, or (iii) the amount determined
by adding together the Purchaser's appraiser's amount and the Seller's
appraiser's amount and dividing by two to obtain the
average.

(b)
|
Promptly
following execution of this Agreement, the Seller shall order commitments
for an owner's policy or policies of title insurance with respect to each
parcel of owned Real Property issued by a national title insurance company
or companies reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser in amounts not less
than the Appraised Fair Market Value thereof. The Purchaser may
obtain surveys of the Real Property at the Purchaser's
expense. Seller shall also furnish to Purchaser copies of any
Phase I Assessments conducted in respect of the Real Property, with the
costs of any additional Phase I Assessments or updates to prior Phase I
Assessments to be shared equally by Purchaser and
Seller. Purchaser shall have the option to conduct Phase II
tests in respect of the Real Property at Purchaser’s expense. If the title
commitments, surveys or the results reflected in the Phase I or Phase II
Assessments reveal a title defect or exception or other matter that
materially adversely affects the use of the Real Property as a bank branch
such that a commercially reasonable buyer, whose intent is to operate a
branch bank, would refuse to purchase the Real Property on the basis of
such defect, exception or other matter, then the Purchaser may notify the
Seller of that defect, exception or other matter on or before the later of
(i) thirty (30) days from the date of this Agreement or (ii) ten (10)
business days after receipt of the title commitments(s) described
above. The Seller shall then have ten (10) business days from
the receipt of such notice to commit to cure such defect, exception or
other matter. If the Seller does not commit to cure the defect,
the Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by written notice sent to the
Purchaser within five (5) business days after the expiration of the ten
(10) business day period provided in the foregoing
sentence. Any failure on the part of the Purchaser to comply
with the time periods provided herein shall constitute a waiver of the
Purchaser's right to terminate this Agreement on the basis of the
applicable title or survey matter.

9.16 Further
Assurances. Each party hereto agrees to execute and deliver
such instruments and take such other actions as the other party may reasonably
require in order to carry out the intent of this Agreement.
9.17 Specific
Performance. Each of the parties hereto does hereby jointly
and severally acknowledge and represent that the parties shall be entitled to
injunctive relief and to enforce specific performance of the agreements
contained herein should the other party fail or otherwise refuse to perform the
duties and obligations set forth in this Agreement. This provision
shall not restrict or inhibit any party from seeking any and all other remedies
at law or in equity which may or might be available, including money
damages. However, it is expressly understood and agreed by and
between the parties hereto that money damages as the sole remedy for a breach or
breaches of this Agreement would be inadequate.
9.18 Press
Releases. Prior to the Closing Date, neither Purchaser, Seller
nor any of their respective affiliates shall directly or indirectly make or
cause to be made any press release for general circulation, public announcement
or disclosure or issue any notice or communication to employees with respect to
any of the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of
the other party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned
or delayed). Purchaser and Seller each agree that, without the other party’s
prior consent, neither Purchaser, Seller nor any of their respective affiliates
shall release or disclose any of the terms or conditions of the transactions
contemplated herein to any other person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each
party may make such public disclosure as, upon advice of its counsel and with as
much prior notice to the other party as reasonably practicable, may be required
by legal requirement or as necessary to obtain the regulatory approvals or to
comply with the federal securities laws.
