2.02.           Seller Stock Options, Seller Restricted Stock and Seller Warrant
 
 
(a)
Seller shall take all requisite action so that, at the Effective Time, each option to acquire Seller Shares (each, a “Seller Stock Option”) granted under Seller’s stock compensation and stock based incentive plans (the “Seller Stock Option and Benefit Plans”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not then vested or exercisable, shall be, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Buyer, Buyer Sub, Seller, Seller Sub, the holder of such Seller Stock Option or any other person or entity, cancelled and converted into the right to receive from Seller at the Effective Time an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (x) the aggregate number of Seller Shares subject to such Seller Stock Option, multiplied by (y) the excess, if any, of $22.50 over the per share exercise price under such Seller Stock Option, less any Taxes required to be deducted or withheld in accordance with Section 2.03(i).

 
(b)
Seller shall take all requisite action so that, at the Effective Time, each share of Seller Restricted Stock, other restricted stock award, deferred stock award, stock appreciation right and other right, contingent or
 

 
5
 
 
 
accrued, to acquire or receive Seller Shares or benefits measured by the value of such shares, and each award of any kind consisting of Seller Shares that may be held, awarded, outstanding, payable or reserved for issuance under any Compensation and Benefits Plans, other than Seller Stock Options (each, a “Seller Stock Award”) immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not then vested or exercisable, shall be, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Buyer, Buyer Sub, Seller, Seller Sub, the holder of such Seller Stock Award or any other person or entity, cancelled and converted into the right to receive from Seller at the Effective Time, an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (x) the aggregate number of Seller Shares in respect of such Seller Stock Award, multiplied by (y) $22.50, less any Taxes required to be deducted or withheld in accordance with Section 2.03(i).  Notwithstanding the previous sentence, if any shares of Series B Preferred Stock are held by the Treasury Department at the Effective Time, then the shares of Seller Restricted Stock set forth in Section 2.02(b) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule (the “Converted Seller Restricted Stock”) shall not become entitled to receive the consideration set forth in the preceding sentence.  Instead, at the Effective Time, each share of Converted Seller Restricted Stock shall be converted into the right to acquire the number of Buyer Shares, determined by multiplying the number of shares of Converted Seller Restricted Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time by the sum of (i) the Exchange Ratio and (ii) the quotient determined by dividing $4.50 by the average of the closing sale prices of Buyer Shares as reported on the Nasdaq for each of the ten consecutive trading days ending with the date of this Agreement (rounded down, if necessary, to a whole Buyer Share).  Except as specifically provided in this Section 2.02(b), following the Effective Time, each such share of Converted Seller Restricted Stock shall otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the Seller Restricted Stock under the applicable Seller Compensation and Benefit Plans and related Seller award agreements immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that after the Effective Time, no Converted Seller Restricted Stock shall vest and become unrestricted Buyer Shares at any time during which any shares of WBC Series B Preferred Stock are held by the Treasury Department.

6
 
(i) that number of Buyer Shares equal to the product of (x) the number of Seller Shares that were purchasable pursuant to the Seller Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time and (y) the Exchange Ratio, rounded to the nearest one-hundredth (1/100th) of a share; and
 
(ii) an aggregate amount in cash equal to the amount obtained by multiplying (x) $4.50 by (y) the number of Seller Shares that were purchasable pursuant to the Seller Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time, rounded to the nearest one-tenth (1/10th) of a cent;
 
and Buyer shall otherwise assume the rights and obligations of Seller under the Warrant subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the Warrant; provided, however, that after the Effective Time, the provisions of the Warrant shall be appropriately adjusted in accordance with the foregoing and Section 13(E) of the Warrant.  If the Warrant Purchase is consummated at or prior to the Effective Time, the Seller Warrant shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist as of the Effective Time.
 
 
(d)
At or prior to the Effective Time, Seller, the Seller Board (as defined in Section 5.03(b)) and the compensation committee of such board, as applicable, shall adopt any resolutions and take any actions (including obtaining any Seller or Seller Sub employee consents) that may be necessary to effectuate the provisions of paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 2.02.
 
2.03.           Exchange and Payment Procedures
 
 
(a)
Exchange Agent.  Buyer shall designate Computershare Investor Services, LLC or such other entity as shall reasonably be selected by Buyer and reasonably acceptable to Seller to act as agent (the “Exchange Agent”) for purposes of conducting the exchange and payment procedures as described in this Section 2.03.  Seller shall provide to the Exchange Agent all information reasonably necessary for it to perform as specified herein.

7
 

 
 
account of the persons entitled thereto.  The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any purpose other than as set forth in this paragraph.  The Exchange Agent shall invest cash in the Exchange Fund, as directed by Buyer, on a daily basis; provided, however, that all such investments shall be in (1) obligations of, or guaranteed by, the United States of America, (2) commercial paper obligations receiving the highest rating from either Xxxxx’x Investors Services, Inc. or Standard and Poor’s Corporation, or (3) certificates of deposit of commercial banks (not including any Subsidiary (as defined in Section 3.01(c)) or affiliate of Buyer) with capital exceeding $1.0 billion.  All interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to Buyer.

Surrender of Seller Certificates.  As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, Buyer shall send or cause to be sent to each former holder of record of Seller Shares transmittal materials (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the certificates theretofore representing the Seller Shares shall pass only upon proper delivery of such certificates to the Exchange Agent). Each holder of an outstanding certificate or certificates which prior to the Effective Time represented Seller Shares (“Seller Certificate”), who surrenders such Seller Certificate to the Exchange Agent shall, upon acceptance thereof by the Exchange Agent, be entitled to receive (a) the Common Stock Merger Consideration, (b) any cash in lieu of fractional shares into which the Seller Shares represented by the Seller Certificate have been converted, (c)  any other dividend or distribution with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to Buyer Shares issuable in the Merger, and (d) subject to compliance with Section 7.08, any dividend or distribution with respect to Seller’s Shares with a record date prior to the Effective Time, in each case without interest.  The Exchange Agent shall accept such Seller Certificate upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Exchange Agent may impose to effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal exchange practices and shall as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than 3 business days after receipt of the Seller Certificate, issue the certificates representing Buyer Shares and/or cash in accordance with this Agreement.  Each Seller Certificate that is not surrendered to the Exchange Agent in accordance with the procedures provided for herein shall, except as otherwise herein provided, be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender (a) the Common Stock Merger Consideration, (b) any cash in lieu of fractional shares into which the Seller Shares represented by the Seller Certificate have been converted, (c)  any other dividend or distribution with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to Buyer Shares issuable in the Merger, and (d) subject to compliance with Section 7.08, any dividend or distribution with respect to Seller’s Shares with a record date prior to the Effective Time, in each case without interest. No dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time with respect to
 
 
8
 
 
 
 
Buyer Shares shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Seller Certificate until the holder thereof shall surrender such Seller Certificate in accordance with this Section 2.03(c).

(d)
Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates.  If there shall be delivered to the Exchange Agent by any person who is unable to produce any Seller Certificate for Seller Shares for surrender to the Exchange Agent in accordance with this Section 2.03:
 
 
(i)
evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such Seller Certificate has been lost, wrongfully taken, or destroyed;
 
 
(ii)
such security or indemnity as reasonably may be requested by the Surviving Corporation to save it harmless (which may include the requirement to obtain a third party bond or surety); and
 
 
(iii)
evidence, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation, that such person was the owner of the Seller Shares theretofore repre­sented by each such Seller Certificate claimed by him to be lost, wrongfully taken or destroyed and that he is the person who would be entitled to present such Seller Certificate for exchange pursuant to this Agreement;
 
then the Exchange Agent, in the absence of actual notice to it that any Seller Shares theretofore represented by any such Seller Certificate have been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, shall deliver to such person (a) the Common Stock Merger Consideration, (b) any cash in lieu of fractional shares into which the Seller Shares represented by the Seller Certificate have been converted, (c) any other dividend or distribution with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to Buyer Shares issuable in the Merger, and (d) subject to compliance with Section 7.08, any dividend or distribution with respect to Seller’s Shares with a record date prior to the Effective Time,  in each case without interest, that such person would have been entitled to receive upon surrender of each such lost, wrongfully taken or destroyed Seller Certificate.
 
 
(e)
No Further Ownership Rights in Seller Shares.  All cash and Buyer Shares issued upon conversion of Seller Shares in accordance with the terms
 
 
 
9
 
 
 
 
hereof shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Seller Shares; subject, however, to the Surviving Corporation’s obligation to pay any dividends or make any other distributions with a record date prior to the Effective Time which may have been declared or made by Seller (but only in compliance with the terms of this Agreement) on such Seller Shares prior to the Effective Time and which remain unpaid at the Effective Time, subject to compliance with Section 7.08.
 
 
(f)
No Fractional Buyer Shares.
 
 
(i)
No certificates or scrip representing fractional Buyer Shares shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Seller Certificates evidencing Seller Shares, and such fractional Buyer Share interests will not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any rights of a shareholder of the Surviving Corporation.
 
 
(ii)
Each holder of Seller Shares who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional Buyer Share shall instead receive from the Exchange Agent an amount of cash, without interest, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (a) the fractional Buyer Share interest to which such holder (after taking into account all Seller Shares held at the Effective Time by such holder) would otherwise be entitled by (b) $18.00.
 
 
(g)
Termination of Exchange Fund.  Any portion of the Exchange Fund delivered to the Exchange Agent by Buyer pursuant to Section 2.03(b) which remains undistributed to the shareholders of Seller for 12 months after the Effective Time may be delivered to the Surviving Corporation, upon Buyer’s demand, and any shareholders of Seller who have not theretofore complied with this Article Two shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for payment of the Common Stock Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of fractional Buyer Share interest and any dividends or distributions with respect to Buyer Shares issuable in the Merger, in each case without interest.
 
 
(h)
No Liability.  None of Buyer, Seller, the Exchange Agent or the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any former holder of Seller Shares for any payment of the Common Stock Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of fractional Buyer Share interest or any dividends or distributions with respect to Buyer Shares issuable in the Merger delivered to a public official as and if required by any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.
 
 
(i)
Withholding Rights.  Buyer or the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Seller Certificates such amounts as Buyer or the Exchange Agent is required to deduct and withhold with respect to
 
 
 
10
 
 
 
 
the making of such payment under the Code, or any other provision of domestic or foreign (whether national, federal, state, provincial, local or otherwise) tax law.  To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority by Buyer or the Exchange Agent, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the Seller Certificates in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Buyer, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent.
 
 
(j)
Waiver. The Surviving Corporation may from time to time, in the case of one or more persons, waive one or more of the rights provided to it in this Article Two to withhold certain payments, deliveries and distributions; and no such waiver shall constitute a waiver of its rights thereafter to withhold any such payment, delivery or distribution in the case of any person.
 
 
(k)
Section 16 Exemption.  Prior to the Effective Time, Buyer and Seller shall take all such steps as may be required to cause any acquisitions of Buyer equity securities (including derivative securities with respect to any Buyer equity securities) and dispositions of Seller equity securities (including derivative securities with respect to any Seller equity securities) resulting from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by each individual who is anticipated to be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”) with respect to Buyer, to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.
 
2.04.           Limited Dissenters’ Rights
 
Anything contained in this Agreement or elsewhere to the contrary notwithstanding, except for shares of Series B Preferred Stock to the extent provided in this Section 2.04, no outstanding Seller Shares or other shares of the Seller’s capital stock shall have any dissenters’ rights of appraisal under the PBCL.  In the event each issued and outstanding share of Series B Preferred Stock is not purchased or redeemed prior to or contemporaneous with the Effective Time, if any holder of an outstanding share of Series B Preferred Stock who is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal for their Series B Preferred Stock in accordance with Subchapter D of the PBCL (“Dissenting Seller Preferred Stock”), then such shares of Dissenting Seller Preferred Stock shall not be converted into the right to receive the Preferred Stock Merger Consideration, and instead:
 
 
(a)
Each such share of Dissenting Seller Preferred Stock shall nevertheless be deemed to be extinguished at the Effective Time as provided elsewhere in this Agreement; and
 
 
(b)
Each holder perfecting such dissenters’ rights shall thereafter have only such rights (and shall have such obligations) as are provided in Subchapter D of the PBCL, and the Surviving Corporation shall not be required to deliver the Preferred Stock Merger Consideration to such person in
 
 
 
11
 
 
 
 
substitution for each such share of Dissenting Seller Preferred Stock in accordance with this Agreement; provided, however, that if any such person shall have failed to perfect or shall withdraw or lose such holder’s rights under the PBCL, each such holder’s Dissenting Seller Preferred Stock shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Preferred Stock Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon.
 
No holder of Dissenting Seller Preferred Stock shall be entitled to submit a letter of transmittal, and any letter of transmittal submitted by a holder of Dissenting Seller Preferred Stock shall be invalid, unless and until the demand for “fair value” made in respect of such Dissenting Seller Preferred Stock shall have been or is deemed to have been withdrawn.
 
2.05.           Anti-Dilution Provisions
 
Except as disclosed in Section 2.05 of the Buyer Disclosure Schedule, in the event that, subsequent to the date of this Agreement but prior to the Effective Time, the outstanding Buyer Shares are increased, decreased, changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or securities (or Buyer establishes a record date for effecting any such change to the outstanding Buyer Shares) as a result of a reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar changes in Buyer’s capitalization, appropriate and proportionate adjustment shall be made to the Merger Consideration.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to permit any action which may be proscribed by this Agreement.
 
2.06.           Conversion of Seller Sub Capital Stock
 
Immediately after the Effective Time, each issued and outstanding share, and each share held in the treasury, of capital stock of Seller Sub shall, by virtue of the Bank Merger and without any action on the part of Buyer, Buyer Sub, Seller, Seller Sub or the holder thereof, be canceled without any conversion or issuance of any shares of capital stock of Buyer or Buyer Sub with respect thereto.  No shares of Buyer or Buyer Sub shall be issued or exchanged and no consideration shall be given for shares of Seller Sub, and each then-issued and outstanding share, and each share then held in the treasury, of capital stock of Buyer Sub shall, by virtue of the Bank Merger and without any action on the part of Buyer, Buyer Sub, Seller, Seller Sub or the holder thereof, continue as one share of capital stock of the Surviving Bank Corporation having the same designations, preferences, limitations, and rights as such share of capital stock of Buyer Sub immediately prior to the Bank Merger.

No liability (other than for payment of premiums to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (the “PBGC”) which have been made or will be made on a timely basis) under Title IV of ERISA has been or is expected to be incurred by Seller or any subsidiary of Seller with respect to any ongoing, frozen or terminated “single-employer plan,” within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(15) of ERISA, currently or formerly maintained by any of them, or any single-employer plan of any entity (a “Seller ERISA Affiliate Plan”) which is considered one employer with Seller under Section 4001(a)(14) of ERISA or Section 414(b), (c) or (m) of the Code (a “Seller ERISA Affiliate”).  During the six years prior to the Effective Time, none of Seller, any Seller Subsidiary nor any Seller ERISA Affiliate has contributed, or has been obligated to contribute, to a multiemployer plan under Subtitle E of Title IV of ERISA (as defined in ERISA Sections 3(37)(A) and 4001(a)(3)).  No notice of a “reportable event”, within the meaning of Section 4043 of ERISA, for which the 30-day reporting requirement has not been waived, has been required to be filed for any Compensation and Benefit Plan or by any Seller ERISA Affiliate Plan within the 12-month period ending on the date hereof, and no such notice will be required to be filed as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  The PBGC has not instituted proceedings to terminate any Seller Pension Plan or Seller ERISA Affiliate Plan and, to Seller’s actual knowledge, no condition exists that presents a material risk that such proceedings will be instituted.  There is no pending investigation or enforcement action by the PBGC, the Department of Labor (“DOL”), the IRS or any other Governmental Authority with respect to any Compensation and Benefit Plan and, to Seller’s actual knowledge, no such investigation or action is threatened or anticipated.  Under each Seller Pension Plan and Seller ERISA Affiliate Plan, as of the date of the most recent actuarial valuation performed prior to the date of this Agreement, the actuarially

determined present value of all “benefit liabilities”, within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(16) of ERISA (as determined on the basis of the actuarial assumptions contained in such actuarial valuation of such Seller Pension Plan or Seller ERISA Affiliate Plan), did not exceed the then current value of the assets of such Seller Pension Plan or Seller ERISA Affiliate Plan and since such date there has been neither an adverse change in the financial condition of such Seller Pension Plan or Seller ERISA Affiliate Plan nor any amendment or other change to such Seller Pension Plan or Seller ERISA Affiliate Plan that would increase the amount of benefits thereunder which reasonably could be expected to change such result and that, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on Seller.
 
 
(iv)
All contributions required to be made under the terms of any Compensation and Benefit Plan or Seller ERISA Affiliate Plan or any employee benefit arrangements under any collective bargaining agreement to which Seller or any Seller Subsidiary is a party have been timely made or have been reflected on the Seller Financial Statements.  Neither any Seller Pension Plan nor any Seller ERISA Affiliate Plan has an “accumulated funding deficiency” (whether or not waived) within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA and all required payments to the PBGC with respect to each Seller Pension Plan or Seller ERISA Affiliate Plan have been made on or before their due dates.  None of Seller, any Seller Subsidiary nor any Seller ERISA Affiliate (x) has provided, or would reasonably be expected to be required to provide, security to any Seller Pension Plan or to any Seller ERISA Affiliate Plan pursuant to Section 401(a)(29) of the Code, and (y) has taken any action, or omitted to take any action, that has resulted, or would reasonably be expected to result, in the imposition of a lien under Section 412(n) of the Code or pursuant to ERISA that, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on Seller.
 
 
(v)
Except as disclosed in Section 3.01(t)(v) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, neither Seller nor any Seller Subsidiary has any obligations to provide retiree health benefits, life insurance or other retiree death benefits under any Compensation and Benefit Plan, other than benefits mandated by Section 4980B of the Code or those derived from a Seller Pension Plan.

63
 
judgment or decree). Seller shall keep Buyer informed, on a current basis, of the status and terms of any such proposal, offer, information request, negotiations or discussions (including any amendments or modifications to such proposal, offer or request).
(d)           Neither the Seller Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) withdraw, withhold, qualify or modify, or propose to withdraw, withhold, qualify or modify, in a manner adverse to Buyer in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Merger and the Bank Merger), the Seller Board Recommendation (as defined in Section 7.06(f)), or make any statement, filing or release, in connection with the Seller Meeting (as defined in Section 7.06(e)) or otherwise, inconsistent with the Seller Board Recommendation (it being understood that taking a neutral position or no position with respect to an Acquisition Proposal shall be considered an adverse modification of the Seller Board Recommendation); (ii) approve or recommend, or propose to approve or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal; or (iii) enter into (or cause Seller or the Seller Subsidiaries to enter into) any letter of intent, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement or other agreement (A) related to any Acquisition Transaction or (B) requiring Seller to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the Merger, the Bank Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the changing, qualifying or modifying of the Seller Board Recommendation or the making of a Seller Subsequent Determination by the Seller Board shall not change the approval of the Seller Board for purposes of causing any Takeover Laws to be inapplicable to this Agreement and the Voting
 
 
64
 
Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the Merger and the Bank Merger.
For purposes of this Agreement, “Superior Proposal” shall mean any bona fide written proposal (on its most recently amended or modified terms, if amended or modified) made by a third party to enter into an Acquisition Transaction on terms that the Seller Board determines in its good faith judgment, after consultation with and having considered the advice of outside legal counsel and Seller’s Financial Advisors (i) would, if consummated, result in the acquisition of all, but not less than all, of the issued and outstanding shares of Seller common stock or all, or substantially all, of the assets of Seller and the Seller Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis; (ii) would result in a transaction that (A) involves consideration to the holders of the Seller Shares that is more favorable, from a financial point of view, than the consideration to be paid to Seller’s shareholders pursuant to this Agreement, considering, among other things, the nature of the consideration being offered and any material regulatory approvals or other risks associated with the timing of the proposed transaction beyond or in addition to those specifically contemplated hereby, and which proposal is not conditioned upon obtaining additional financing that has not been committed and (B) is, in light of the other terms of such proposal, more favorable to Seller’s shareholders than the Merger and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (iii) is reasonably likely to be completed on the terms proposed, in each case taking into account all legal, financial, regulatory and other aspects of the proposal.

warranties or (ii) would (except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement) cause or constitute a breach in any material respect of any such representation or warranty had such representation or warranty been made as of the time of occurrence or discovery of such fact or condition.  Should any such fact or condition require any change in the Buyer Disclosure Schedule, Buyer shall promptly deliver to Seller a supplement to the Buyer Disclosure Schedule specifying such change (“Updated Buyer Disclosure Schedule”); provided, however, that the disclosure of such change in the Updated Buyer Disclosure Schedule shall not be deemed to constitute a cure of any breach of any representation or warranty made pursuant to this Agreement unless consented to in writing by Seller.  During the same period, Buyer shall promptly notify Seller of (i) the occurrence of any breach in any material respect of any of Buyer’s or Buyer Sub’s covenants contained in this Agreement, (ii) the occurrence of any event that may make the satisfaction of the conditions in this Agreement impossible or unlikely in any material respect or (iii) the occurrence of any event that is reasonably likely, individually or taken with all other facts, events or circumstances known to Buyer, to result in a material adverse effect with respect to Buyer.

By Buyer, if its Board of Directors so determines, by providing written notice to Seller:
 
 
(i)
if prior to the Closing Date, any representation and warranty of Seller or Seller Sub shall have become untrue such that the condition set forth at Section 8.01(a) would not be satisfied and which breach has not been cured within 30 calendar days following receipt by Seller of written notice of breach or is incapable of being cured during such time period;
 
 
(ii)
if Seller or Seller Sub shall have failed to comply in any material respect with any covenant or agreement on the part of Seller or Seller Sub contained in this Agreement required to be complied with prior to the date of such termination, which failure to comply shall not have been cured within 30 calendar days following receipt by Seller of written notice of such failure to comply or is incapable of being cured during such time period; or
 
 
(iii)
if (i) the Seller Board (A) modifies, qualifies, withholds or withdraws the Seller Board Recommendation in a manner adverse to Buyer in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (it being understood that taking a neutral position or no position with respect to an Acquisition Proposal shall be considered an adverse modification of the Seller Board Recommendation), or makes any statement, filing or release, in connection with the Seller Meeting or otherwise, inconsistent with the Seller Board Recommendation, (B) breaches its obligations to call, give notice of and commence the Seller Meeting under Section 7.06(e), (C) approves or recommends an Acquisition Proposal, (D) fails to publicly recommend against a publicly announced Acquisition Proposal within ten (10) business days of being requested to do so by Buyer, (E) fails to publicly reconfirm the Seller Board Recommendation within ten (10) business days of being requested to do so by Buyer, or (F) resolves or otherwise determines to take, or announces an intention to take, any of the foregoing actions or (ii) there shall have been a material breach by Seller of Section 5.03.

(iii)
in connection with entering into a definitive agreement to effect a Superior Proposal after making a Seller Subsequent Determination in accordance with Section 5.03(e); or
 
 
(iv)
at any time during the five-day period commencing on the Walkaway Determination Date (the “Seller Walkaway Right”), if:
 
 
(1)
the Average Closing Price (as defined below) shall be less than the product of 0.85 and the Starting Price (as defined below); and
 
 
(2)
(a) the number obtained by dividing the Average Closing Price by the Starting Price (such number being referred to herein as the “Buyer Ratio”) shall be less than (b) the number obtained by dividing the Index Price (as defined below) on the Walkaway Determination Date (as defined below) by the Index Price on the Starting Date (as defined below) (the “Index Ratio”) and subtracting 0.15 from such quotient;
 
subject to the following.  If Seller elects to exercise its termination right pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, it shall give prompt written notice to Buyer; provided that such notice of election to terminate may be withdrawn by Seller at any time within the aforementioned five-day period.  During the five-day period commencing with its receipt of such notice, Buyer shall have the option of paying additional Merger Consideration by increasing the Exchange Ratio to equal the number obtained by dividing (1) $18.00 by the greater of (i) the product of 0.85 and the Starting Price or (ii) the product obtained by multiplying the Index Ratio by the Starting Price (the “Buyer Top-up Notice”).  If Buyer makes this election, within such five-day period, it shall give prompt written notice to Seller of such election and the revised Exchange Ratio, whereupon no termination shall have occurred pursuant to this Section 11.01(d)(iv) and this Agreement shall remain in effect in accordance with its terms (except as the Exchange Ratio shall have been so modified), and any references in this Agreement to “Exchange Ratio” shall thereafter be deemed to refer to the Exchange Ratio after giving effect to any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 11.01(d)(iv).  
 
 
85
 
 
For purposes of this Section 11.01(d)(iv), the following terms shall have the following meanings:

“Walkaway Determination Date” means the later of (i) the first date on which all necessary bank regulatory approvals or non-objections have been received (disregarding any waiting period), which list of such approvals and non-objections shall be mutually agreed upon in writing by Buyer and Seller within 30 days of the date of this Agreement or (ii) the date on which the Seller's shareholders approve this Agreement.
 
 
“Index Price” on a given date means the closing value of the Nasdaq Bank Index as reported on Xxxxxxxxx.xxx, or if not reported therein, in another mutually agreed upon authoritative source.
 
 
“Per Share Consideration” shall mean the Exchange Ratio multiplied by the Average Closing Price.
 
 
“Starting Price” shall mean the last reported sale price per share of Buyer Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq (as reported in The Wall Street Journal or, if not reported therein, in another mutually agreed upon authoritative source) on the Starting Date.
 
 
“Starting Date” shall mean the last full trading day prior to the announcement by press release of the Merger or, if such announcement occurs after the close of trading on any trading day, such trading day.
 
If Buyer declares or effects a stock dividend, reclassification, recapitalization, split-up, combination, non-acquisitive exchange of shares or similar transaction between the Starting Date and the Walkaway Determination Date (or establishes a record date in respect thereof), the prices for the common stock of Buyer shall be appropriately adjusted for the purposes of applying this Section 11.01(d)(iv).

(b)
Seller shall promptly pay to Buyer a termination fee of $3,200,000 (the “Termination Fee”) if this Agreement is terminated by (i) Buyer pursuant to Section 11.01(c)(iii) or (ii) Seller pursuant to Section 11.01(d)(iii) and, and in the case of both (i) and (ii), prior to the date that is 12 months after the date of such termination, Seller consummates an Acquisition Transaction or enters into any definitive agreement with respect to an Acquisition Transaction.
 
 
(c)
In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Buyer or Seller pursuant to Section 11.01(b)(ii) or Section 11.01(b)(i) due to the failure to obtain the approval of Seller’s shareholders required for the consummation of the Merger (provided that Buyer and Buyer Sub have complied with the requirements of Section 6.10 hereto), and (i) an Acquisition Proposal with respect to Seller shall have been publicly announced, disclosed or otherwise communicated to the Seller Board prior to the date specified in Section 11.01(b)(i) and prior to the Seller Meeting, and (ii) within twelve (12) months of such termination, Seller shall have entered into a definitive agreement with respect to, or Seller shall have consummated, an Acquisition Transaction, then Seller shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to the Termination Fee.

(e)
Any payment of the Termination Fee required to be made pursuant to this Section 11.02 shall be made not more than two (2) business days after the date of the event giving rise to the obligation to make such payment, unless the Termination Fee is payable as a result of the termination of this
 
 
 
87
 
 
 
 
Agreement by Seller pursuant to Section 11.01(d)(iii), in which case, the Termination Fee shall be payable concurrently with such termination. All payments under this Section 11.02 shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Buyer.
 
 
(f)
Buyer and Seller acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section 11.02 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that, without these agreements, Buyer would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if Seller fails promptly to pay any amount due pursuant to this Section 11.02 and, in order to obtain such payment, Buyer commences a suit which results in a judgment against Seller for the amount set forth in this Section 11.02, Seller shall pay to Buyer its costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with such suit, together with interest on the amount of the Termination Fee at a rate per annum equal to three-month LIBOR (as reported in The Wall Street Journal (Northeast edition), or if not reported therein, in another authoritative source selected by the party to which the payment is due) plus 200 basis points as in effect on the date such payment was required to be made.
