Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to Seller, as of the date hereof and the Closing Date that:
(a) Due Organization and Authority. Purchaser is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. Purchaser has the requisite power and authority and legal right to own the Assets, to acquire the Assets from Seller, and to execute and deliver, engage in the transactions contemplated by, and perform and observe the terms and conditions of this Agreement. This Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by Purchaser, all requisite action by Purchaser has been taken in connection therewith, and (assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery hereof by Seller) this Agreement and all agreements executed in connection therewith constitute the valid, legal and binding agreement of Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, liquidation, conservatorship, insolvency, reorganization, receivership or moratorium and other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and by general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.
(b) No Conflicts. Neither the acquisition of the Assets from Seller, nor the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement by Purchaser, conflicts or will conflict with, results or will result in a material breach of, or constitutes or will constitute a default under any term or provision of the statute under which Purchaser is organized, any term or provision of Purchaser’s organizational documents, any material agreement, contract, instrument or indenture to which Purchaser is a party or which may be applicable to Purchaser or any of its assets, or any law, rule, regulation, order, supervisory agreement, judgment, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority having jurisdiction over Purchaser or its assets, in each case, which materially and adversely affect the ability of Purchaser to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(c) Ability to Perform. Purchaser does not believe, nor does it have any reason or cause to believe, that it cannot perform each and every covenant contained in this Agreement. Purchaser is solvent and will not be rendered insolvent by the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
(d) No Litigation Pending. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or to the best of Purchaser’s knowledge threatened against Purchaser which, either in any one instance or in the aggregate (i) would prohibit Purchaser from entering into this Agreement or seek to prevent the sale of the Assets or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (ii) would otherwise draw into question the validity of this Agreement or of any action taken or to be taken in connection with the obligations of Purchaser contemplated herein, or (iii) would be likely to prohibit or impair materially and adversely affect the performance by Purchaser of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, this Agreement.
(e) No Consent Required. No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and performance by

Section 3.4. | Repurchases |
It is understood and agreed that, subject to the provisions of Section 3.5, the representations and warranties set forth in Article III shall survive the sale and delivery of the Assets to Purchaser and shall inure to the benefit of Purchaser notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on any Note or Assignment of Mortgage or, subject to Section 3.6 (e), any examination or failure to examine any Loan File. Pursuant to Section 3.5, Purchaser may require that Seller repurchase an Asset from Purchaser as a result of the breach of, or inaccuracy in, certain of the representations and warranties of Seller for an amount equal to the Repurchase Price for that Asset. Upon completion of such repurchase by Seller, the Purchaser and Seller shall arrange for the reassignment of the repurchased Asset to Seller and the delivery to Seller of any documents held by or for the benefit of Purchaser relating to the repurchased Asset in form and content reasonably acceptable to Purchaser and Seller. In the case of any lien for which an assignment from Seller to Purchaser has been recorded prior to repurchase, Seller shall cause to be prepared an assignment of such lien from Purchaser to Seller, and Purchaser shall within thirty (30) calendar days of Seller’s delivery thereof, execute and deliver same to Seller.

(b) Indemnification by Seller. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 3.5, Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser and its respective officers, directors, employees and agents from and against all Damages incurred or suffered by such person (whether or not involving a Third Party Claim or a claim solely among the parties) resulting from, in connection with or arising out of:

The limits on indemnification set forth above shall not apply to any indemnification claim resulting from, in connection with or arising out of any fraud or intentional misrepresentation by any party in connection with this Agreement.
(e) Remedy Limited to Repurchase. With respect to any breach of, or inaccuracy in, any representations or warranties in item (h) of Exhibit D-1 or item (i) of Exhibit D-2 of this Agreement with respect to any Asset(s), Purchaser may give written notice to Seller of such breach, and Seller shall have the right to cure such breach to the reasonable satisfaction of Purchaser during a period of seventy-five (75) days after receipt of such notice. In the event Seller fails to cure such breach to the reasonable satisfaction of Purchaser within such seventy-five (75) day period, Seller shall repurchase such Asset(s) (and, at the option of Purchaser to be exercised within fifteen (15) days after the expiration of such seventy five (75) day period, any Related Asset(s)) at the Repurchase Price (such repurchase to be as-is and without any recourse or representation of any kind by Purchaser except that Purchaser has not sold, assigned, pledged or otherwise encumbered the Asset, and Seller shall be responsible for and pay when due and payable, all transfer, filing and recording fees and taxes, costs and expenses and any state or county documentary taxes, if any, arising out of or in connection with each such repurchase). In the event that Purchaser does not exercise its option to require Seller to repurchase any Related Assets, Seller may, by written notice to Purchaser on or before the date which is five (5) days after the expiration of such fifteen (15) day period, elect to repurchase the Related Assets at the Repurchase Price (such repurchase to be as-is and without any recourse or representation of any kind by Purchaser except that Purchaser has not sold, assigned, pledged or otherwise
- 15 -
encumbered the Asset, and Seller shall be responsible for and pay when due and payable, all transfer, filing and recording fees and taxes, costs and expenses and any state or county documentary taxes, if any, arising out of or in connection with each such repurchase). In the event that any other Loan or group of Loans that is not a Related Asset has one or more common Obligors or has an Obligor that is controlled by, controls or is under common control with any Obligor under any Loan repurchased by Seller pursuant to this Section 3.5(e), unless and until such other Loan(s) has/have been indefeasibly paid in full or otherwise satisfied in Purchaser’s discretion, Seller hereby agrees as follows:
(i) | Seller shall be entitled to net proceeds received from the liquidation of collateral directly securing (i.e. excluding cross-collateralization provisions of the repurchased loan documents that extend the collateral to other collateral securing Loans) the repurchased Loan as of the Closing Date; |
(ii) | Seller’s rights to collect amounts in excess of the amounts set forth in clause (i) from such Obligor shall be fully subordinate to any indebtedness owed to or claims made by Purchaser and no property or assets of such Obligor (other than collateral securing the repurchased Loan as of the Closing Date) shall be applied against the repurchased Loan; |
(iii) | Seller will not commence any involuntary proceeding against such Obligor, or join with any creditor (unless the Purchaser shall so join) in bringing any involuntary proceeding against such Obligor under any bankruptcy, reorganization, readjustment of debt, arrangement of debt, receivership, liquidation or insolvency law or statute of the federal or any state government (other than as required, in a bankruptcy or similar proceeding that Seller did not commence, to realize on the liquidation of collateral pursuant to (i) above); |
(iv) | Seller will not obtain or otherwise acquire or accept any lien on any property or assets of such Obligor; |
(v) | other than direct collateral (i.e. excluding cross-collateralization provisions of the repurchased loan documents that extend the collateral to other collateral securing Loans) securing the repurchased Loan as of the Closing Date Seller will not commence any action or proceeding with respect to any property or assets of such Obligor, will not take possession of, sell, or dispose of any property or assets of such Obligor, and will not exercise or enforce any right or remedy available to Seller with respect to any property or assets of such Obligor; |
(vi) | if Seller receives any payment in respect of such repurchased Loan that Seller is not entitled to receive under the provisions of this Section 3.5(e), Seller will hold the amount so received in trust for Purchaser and will forthwith turn over such payment to Purchaser in the form received (except for the endorsement of Seller where necessary) for application to such other Loan(s), in such manner of application as Purchaser may deem appropriate; |
- 16 -
(vii) | if Seller exercises any right of setoff (other than against collateral securing the repurchased Loan as of the Closing Date) or takes any other action which Seller is not permitted to exercise or take under the provisions of this Agreement in respect of such repurchased Loan, Seller will promptly pay over to Purchaser, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to the amount of the claims or obligations so offset or an amount equal to any amount recovered from any such action, as applicable; and |
(viii) | if Seller fails to make any endorsement required under this Agreement, Purchaser is hereby irrevocably appointed as the attorney-in-fact (which appointment is coupled with an interest) for Seller to make such endorsement in Seller’s name. The turnover of any prohibited payments by Seller to Purchaser pursuant to this Section 3.5(e) shall not limit or restrict any other claims, actions, rights or remedies which Purchaser may have against Seller as a result of Seller’s exercising any right or taking any action which is not permitted under the terms of this Section 3.5(e). |
The repurchase of the Asset and any Related Asset(s) shall be the sole remedy for the breach of, or inaccuracy in, any representations or warranties specified in the first sentence of this Section 3.5(e) of this Agreement.
(f) | Missing Documentation. Intentionally omitted. |
(g) | Third Party Claim Procedure. |
(i) Notice. If any indemnified party receives notice of the assertion of any claim or the commencement of any action by a third party in respect of which indemnification shall be sought hereunder (a “Third Party Claim”), the indemnified party shall give the indemnifying party prompt notice (a “Claim Notice”) describing in reasonable detail the Third Party Claim and, if ascertainable, the amount in dispute under the Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the failure of the indemnified party to give a Claim Notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations to provide indemnification hereunder except to the extent (and only to the extent) that the indemnifying party shall have been materially and adversely prejudiced by such failure.
(ii) Defense. In the event of a Third Party Claim, the indemnifying party shall either (A) acknowledge and agree in writing that the Third Party Claim is a Claim for which indemnified party has responsibility if such Claim is adversely determined pursuant to this Agreement, or (B) not make the election under (A) or make the election under (A) under a reservation of rights without admitting that the Third Party Claim is a Claim for which indemnified party has responsibility if such Claim is adversely determined pursuant to this Agreement. In the event that the indemnifying party elects (A) above, it shall control the defense, compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claim, with counsel of its choice reasonably acceptable to the indemnified party and at the indemnifying party’s sole cost and expense, if the indemnifying party, if requested by the indemnified party, has provided evidence reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party of the indemnifying party’s financial ability to pay any Damages resulting from the Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the indemnified party may participate therein through separate counsel chosen by it and at its sole cost and
- 17 -
expense. If the indemnifying party does not elect pursuant to (A) above, then (xx) the Third Party Claim shall not be deemed to be a claim indemnified by the indemnifying party, and neither party shall have waived any rights to assert that the Third Party Claim is or is not properly a claim subject to the indemnifying party’s indemnity obligations, (yy) both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party may, at their individual elections, participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim, but the indemnifying party will remain responsible for the costs of defense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees of the indemnified party should the Third Party Claim ultimately be determined to be subject to the indemnifying party’s indemnity obligation; and (zz) the indemnified party shall have the right to compromise and settle the Third Party Claim on any basis believed reasonable, in good faith, by the indemnified party, and the indemnifying party will be bound thereby should the Third Party Claim ultimately be determined to be subject to indemnifying party’s indemnity obligation.
(iii) Cooperation. From and after delivery of a Claim Notice of a Third Party Claim, the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall, and shall cause their respective affiliates and representatives to, cooperate in connection with the defense or prosecution of such Third Party Claim, including furnishing such records, information and testimony and attending such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested by the indemnifying party or the indemnified party in connection therewith. In addition, the party controlling the defense of any Third Party Claim shall keep the non-controlling party advised of the status thereof and shall consider in good faith any recommendations made by the non-controlling party with respect thereto.
(iv) Settlement Limitations. Except as set forth below or as expressly permitted in this subsection (g), no Third Party Claim may be settled or compromised (i) by the indemnified party without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party or (ii) by the indemnifying party without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, in each case which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnifying party shall have the right to consent to the entry of a judgment or enter into a settlement with respect to any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the indemnified party if the judgment or settlement (i) involves only the payment of money damages (all of which will be paid in full by the indemnifying party concurrently with the effectiveness thereof) and (ii) includes, as a condition to any settlement or other resolution, a complete and irrevocable release of the indemnified party from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim.
(h) Exclusive Remedy. Except for remedies for injunctive or equitable relief, claims for fraud or intentional misrepresentation or as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if a Closing Date occurs, the indemnification rights set forth in this Section 3.5 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for any claim arising out of this Agreement.

(c) | Seller has also described to Purchaser that certain of the Judgments, Notes and other Loan Documents being assigned by Seller to Purchaser may have been modified by the bankruptcy or receivership proceedings of an Obligor or other Person as contained in the Loan Files. |
(d) | Seller shall not be liable for or be bound in any manner by, and Purchaser acknowledges it hereby waives and shall be forever barred from asserting any Claim against Seller with respect to, any expressed or implied representations, warranties, promises, covenants, agreements, statements or information pertaining to any of the Assets, made or furnished by Seller or by any agent, contractor, attorney, employee, servant or other Person representing or purporting to represent Seller except as expressly set forth in Section 3.1 and Section 3.3 of this Agreement (as limited by Section 3.5 of this Agreement). |
(e) | Purchaser acknowledges that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the Closing Documents, to the extent any statement made by Seller is contradicted, or any representation or warranty of Seller is breached, by or as a result of a fact or circumstance which would reasonably be disclosed by (i) an inspection of any Loan File at the time the Loan Files were available for Purchaser’s inspection or, (ii) an inspection of a bidder update sent by Seller or its agents prior to the date of this Agreement, (a) Seller shall not be liable for such a statement or breach, (b) Purchaser shall not be entitled to exercise any right or remedy or to make any Claim with respect to such statement or breach, and (c) such statement, representation or warranty shall be conclusively deemed not to have been made by Seller. |
(f) | Seller further advises Purchaser that any guaranty by the Small Business Administration or the Farm Service Agency either has already been terminated or is not transferable to Purchaser and that any such guaranty will be null and void upon Closing. |
(g) | Without limitation to any other provision of this Agreement or any Closing Document, Purchaser agrees that (A) Purchaser has inspected, tested, analyzed and evaluated all the Assets and associated Loan Files, has conferred with and obtained advice concerning the Assets from its counsel and has conducted independent due diligence and other investigations, all to the extent Purchaser deemed necessary, and (B) Purchaser has entered into this Agreement as a result of such activities set forth in subparagraph (A) of this Section 3.6 (g), and not as a result of any representation, warranty, promise, covenant, agreement or statement by Seller or any other Person except only to the extent of Seller’s representations and warranties expressly set forth in Section 3.1 and Section 3.3 of this Agreement. |
(h) | As further provided below, subject only to the express terms of this Agreement, Purchaser bears the entire risk of loss with respect to all the Assets after Closing. |
- 20 -

The Bank, the Company, the Purchaser, and the Investors under the Stock Purchase Agreement have determined that an escrow arrangement is necessary to make sure that all funds are timely received and available to facilitate prompt closing and movement of money under this Agreement and the Stock Purchase Agreement on the Closing Date, which is scheduled for Friday, December 28, 2012. As a result, an escrow agreement, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit M, with SunTrust Bank, as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”) will provide that all purchase funds to be paid by (i) the Purchaser in connection with the purchase and sale of the Assets, and (ii) the Investors (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement) in connection with the Stock Sale, respectively, will need to be received in immediately available funds by the Escrow Agent by not later than Noon on the Business Day immediately prior to Closing (i.e., Thursday, December 27). The Company may make exceptions for an Investor required by the Investment Company Act or SEC regulations thereunder to invest funds only versus delivery of share certificates.
