hereto agrees to use its best efforts promptly to take or cause to be taken all
action and promptly to do or cause to be done all things necessary, proper or
advisable under applicable laws and regulations to consummate and make effective

necessary action. Without limiting the foregoing, the Assuming Bank agrees to
promptly prepare and file all applications and other notices required in
connection with, and to use its best efforts to obtain promptly and comply with

registration or filing with, any governmental or administrative agency or
authority required or necessary to be made, obtained or complied with, as the
case may be, by the Assuming Bank in connection with the performance of this
Agreement by the Assuming Bank or the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby. To the extent that any application filed in connection with
obtaining any such approval contains any significant information relating to
Seller, prior to submitting such application to any regulatory agency, the
Assuming Bank will permit Seller to review such information and will consider in
good faith the suggestions of Seller with respect thereto. Seller shall have the
right to approve any such information that relates to Seller, provided that such
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Assuming Bank shall use its
best efforts to insure that any information provided by Seller, its Affiliates
or representatives to be submitted in connection with submissions to
governmental or administrative agencies or authorities receives confidential
treatment if so requested by Seller.
The Assuming Bank shall provide to Seller copies of all applications and
other notices required in connection with the regulatory approvals described in

activity engaged in by the Assuming Bank and its Affiliates. Promptly after the
Closing Date, the Assuming Bank shall commence the removal of the trade names,
names, service marks, logos, insignia, slogans, emblems, symbols, designs, and
other identifying characteristics ("names") from all premises, equipment, signs,
interior decor items, fixtures and furnishings, and from all printed materials
and related business literature associated with the Purchased Branches. Such
removal shall be at the sole expense of the Assuming Bank and shall be completed
not later than 30 days after the Closing Date. The Assuming Bank shall not be
liable to Seller in any way by reason of its removal or disposition of Seller's
names from the Purchased Branches or any of the contents thereof.

-----------------------------
to allocate the Purchase Price in accordance with the rules under Section 1060
of the Code, and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. Such

Assets and with a properly completed Internal Revenue Service Form 8594 within
60 days after the Closing Date but in no event later than 90 days before the due
date, including extensions, for the consolidated federal income tax return that
includes Seller for the taxable year including the Closing Date. If Seller
objects to any items reflected on such schedule, Seller shall notify the
Assuming Bank of such objection and its reasons for objecting, in which case the
Assuming Bank and Seller shall attempt to resolve the disagreement. If the
Assuming Bank and Seller cannot resolve the disagreement, the allocation shall
be determined by a nationally recognized independent appraiser selected by
Seller and reasonably acceptable to the Assuming Bank. The fees and expenses of
such appraiser shall be borne equally by the Assuming Bank and Seller. Seller
and the Assuming Bank agree to act in accordance with the computations and
allocations contained in the schedule as finally agreed or determined by such
independent appraiser (including any modifications thereto reflecting any post-
closing adjustments) in any relevant Tax Returns or similar filings (including
any forms or reports required to be filed pursuant to Section 1060 of the Code
or the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder ("1060 Forms")) and to file

any challenge by any tax authority to such computations or allocations.

at such key employees, as opposed to the general public.

permit the Assuming Bank access to the Bank Premises for the purpose of making
certain renovations or alterations of space to install certain computer and
related equipment. All such renovations and alterations shall be approved in

day-to-day operations of Seller, and shall be at the Assuming Bank's cost. In
the event the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not consummated by
termination or otherwise, the Assuming Bank shall, immediately upon notice from
Seller, restore the premises to the same or substantially similar conditions as
they were as of the date hereof.
11.10 DEALER CONTRACTS. Seller and the Assuming Bank agree to cooperate
-----------------
to effect the transfer of dealer contracts for indirect consumer loans which are

-------------------
event the transfer of the Trust Business to the Subsidiary Trust Company or the
transfer of the Subsidiary Trust Company to the Assuming Bank is deemed void or

to Seller the Subsidiary Trust Company and the Trust Business and Seller shall
pay to the Assuming Bank, as liquidated damages for loss of bargain and not as a
penalty, the sum of $1,500,000 minus revenues received by the Assuming Bank from

Closing Date, Seller and the Assuming Bank agree to defend and to share equally
the costs of defending any action challenging the transfer of the Trust
Business; provided that either party may discontinue the defense and the
contribution of defense costs in the event such party has incurred and paid an
amount equal to $200,000 in the aggregate for such purpose.
ARTICLE XII
EMPLOYEE PLANS
12.1 PARTICIPATION IN COMPANY PLANS. Effective as of the Closing Date,
-------------------------------
employees of the Purchased Branches shall cease participation in all plans,
programs, policies and arrangements maintained for their benefit by Seller or
any of its Affiliates. The Assuming Bank agrees to offer employment to each
employee of the Purchased Branches, other than the Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer of Seller, for a position reasonably comparable to and salary comparable
to the position (duties and responsibilities, not officer title) and salary of
the employee as of the Closing Date consistent with Assuming Bank's
organizational structure. In the event an employee, other than the Chairman and
Chief Executive Office of Seller, is not offered a similar position and similar
salary, the Assuming Bank agrees to pay severance to such employee in accordance
with the provisions of the 0000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxx Xxxx xx Xxxxx Commerce Bank
National Association (the "Severance Plan"), the terms of which are summarized
on Schedule 12.1. Commencing on the Closing Date, the Assuming Bank shall
-------------
provide to employees of the Purchased Branches such plans, programs, policies
and arrangements being maintained by the Assuming Bank and which contain terms
that are, in the aggregate, no less favorable than those provided to similarly
situated employees of the Assuming Bank or any of its Affiliates. Each employee
of Seller shall be given credit for all purposes under each such "employee
benefit plans" and all other such plans, programs, policies and arrangements
maintained by the Assuming Bank (except for purposes of a defined contribution
plan or benefit accrual under a defined benefit plan) for all service prior to
the Closing Date with Seller and its Affiliates.
12.2 CLAIMS INCURRED PRIOR TO AND AFTER CLOSING. Seller will retain
-------------------------------------------
responsibility for and continue to pay all medical, life insurance, disability
and other welfare plan expenses and benefits for each employee of the Purchased
Branches or their covered dependents which are covered and payable under
Seller's Welfare Benefit Plans with respect to claims incurred by such employees
and former employees or their covered dependents prior to the Closing Date.
Expenses and benefits with respect to claims incurred by employees of the
Purchased Branches or their covered dependents on or after the Closing Date
shall be the responsibility of the Assuming Bank. For purposes of this Section,
a claim is deemed incurred when the services that are the subject of
27
Exhibit 2.2
the claim are performed: in the case of life insurance, when the death occurs;
in the case of longterm disability benefits, when the disability occurs; and, in
the case of a hospital stay, when such stay commences. Seller will retain
responsibility for all welfare plan expenses and benefits, if any, including
responsibility for compliance with COBRA, for all former employees of the
Purchased Branches who are not employed by Seller on the Closing Date or such
former employees' Qualified Beneficiaries and for all Qualified Beneficiaries
with respect to Seller's plans who are eligible for COBRA coverage prior to the
Closing Date.
12.3 WAITING PERIODS, PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS AND DEDUCTIBLES. With
---------------------------------------------------------
respect to any Welfare Benefit Plans maintained by the Assuming Bank on and
after the Closing Date for the benefit of employees or former employees of the
Purchased Branches, the Assuming Bank shall with respect to employees
participating in the plans of Seller as of the Closing Date (i) cause there to
be waived any waiting periods; (ii) cause there to be waived any pre-existing
condition limitations; and (iii) give effect, in determining any deductible and
maximum out-of-pocket limitations, to claims incurred and amounts paid by, and
amounts reimbursed to, such employees with respect to similar plans maintained
by Seller for their benefit.
12.4 SEVERANCE PAY. The Assuming Bank agrees to pay severance benefits
--------------
in accordance with the Severance Plan to all employees of the Purchased Branches
informed of their termination by the Assuming Bank or its Affiliates prior to
the close of business on the first anniversary from and after the Closing Date
(notwithstanding the date such termination actually occurs). For purposes of
applying the Severance Plan pursuant to this Section 12.4 and notwithstanding
any provision in the Severance Plan to the contrary (i) "cause" shall
mean gross negligence of, or willful misconduct by, the employee and (ii) a
comparable offer of employment shall be determined in accordance with Schedule
12.1. The Assuming Bank shall use its best efforts prior to the close of
business on the l 80th day from and after the Closing Date to inform employees
of the Purchased Branches of their terminations. By agreeing to pay severance
benefits to employees of the Purchased Branches in accordance with the Severance
Plan, the Assuming Bank does not thereby adopt the Severance Plan.
12.5 VACATION PAY. The Assuming Bank agrees to give each employee of
-------------
the Purchased Branches credit under the Assuming Bank's vacation policy for the
time of service recognized by Seller under Seller's vacation policy. If the
Assuming Bank does not extend an offer to hire a Purchased Branches employee
(other than the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer), the Assuming Bank
will pay in cash to such employee an amount equal to such accrued but unused
vacation time determined in accordance with the vacation policy of Seller. If
the Assuming Bank terminates a Purchased Branches employee for any reason other
than for "cause" (as defined in Section 12.4) prior to the close of business on
the last calendar day of the year in which the Closing Date occurs, the Assuming
Bank will pay in cash to such employee an amount equal to such accrued but
unused vacation time determined in accordance with the vacation policy of the
Assuming Bank. Further, the Assuming Bank will allow employees of the Purchased
Branches to take any accrued but unused vacation days as of the Closing Date
during the period from the Closing Date through the end of the year in which
Closing occurs.
28
Exhibit 2.2
12.6 INACTIVE EMPLOYEES. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
-------------------
contained herein, any employee of the Purchased Branches who is not in active
employment status on the Closing Date shall be transferred to an Affiliate of
Seller on such date and shall be entitled to such benefits and compensation from
Seller as otherwise provided immediately prior to the Closing Date. Any such
employee who returns to active employment status within 90 days of the
commencement of such employee's inactive status shall be employed by the
Assuming Bank and treated as if he/she were an employee of the Assuming Bank for
all purposes from and after the Closing Date except that compensation and
benefits provided to which he/she is entitled while not in active employment
status shall be the responsibility of Seller. Schedule 12.6 identifies all
employees of Seller not currently in active employment and Seller shall notify
the Assuming Bank of any changes to Schedule 12.6 if, and whenever, any such
change shall occur.
12.7 INDEMNIFICATION AGAINST CLAIMS FOR SEVERANCE PAY. In addition to
-------------------------------------------------
and not in limitation of any other indemnification provided for in this
Agreement, the Assuming Bank agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless
Seller and any of its Affiliates from and against any cost, liability and
expense, (including but not limited to, attorneys' fees and expenses) actually
incurred by any of them as a result of any claim made by any employee of the
Purchased Branches for severance pay relating to the termination of such
employee's employment on or after the Closing.
