For the avoidance of doubt, except as contemplated by Section 7.9, no right to the use of any sign, trade name, trademark or service xxxx, if any, of Seller or any of its Affiliates, is being sold, and no such right shall be an Asset.

2.2 Assumption of Liabilities.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, including Section 3.4, at the Closing, Purchaser shall assume, pay, perform and discharge all duties, responsibilities, obligations or liabilities of Seller (whether accrued, contingent or otherwise) to be discharged, performed, satisfied or paid after the Effective Time (or the Transfer Date with respect to a Transferred Employee), with respect to the following (collectively, the “Assumed Liabilities”):

(i) the Deposits, including Deposits in IRAs and Xxxxx Accounts, but excluding Excluded XXX/Xxxxx Account/HSA Deposits to the extent contemplated by Section 2.4;

(vii) liabilities for Taxes of, or relating to, the Assets, the Assumed Liabilities or the business or operation of the Branches (other than Excluded Taxes).

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Purchaser shall not assume or be bound by any duties, responsibilities, obligations or liabilities of Seller or any of its Affiliates, of any kind or nature, known, unknown, contingent or otherwise (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any liabilities arising out of the matter disclosed on Section 5.13 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule and any of Seller’s obligations arising pursuant to the FDIC Purchase Agreement), other than the Assumed Liabilities (which shall not be deemed to include any obligations of Seller pursuant to the FDIC Purchase Agreement) or as otherwise expressly set forth herein (all duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of Seller or any of its Affiliates, other than the Assumed Liabilities or other obligations expressly assumed hereunder, the “Excluded Liabilities”). For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 2.2(b) shall limit Purchaser’s obligations under Section 7.5(d).

2.3 Purchase Price. The purchase price (“Purchase Price”) for the Assets shall be to the sum of the following amounts:

2.4 Assumption of XXX, Xxxxx Account, and HSA Deposits.

(a) With respect to Deposits in IRAs, Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts and will cooperate with Purchaser in taking any action reasonably necessary to accomplish at Closing either the appointment of Purchaser as successor custodian or the delegation to Purchaser (or to an Affiliate of Purchaser) of Seller’s authority and responsibility as custodian of all such XXX Deposits (except self-directed XXX Deposits), including sending to the depositors thereof appropriate notices, cooperating with Purchaser (or such Affiliate) in soliciting consents from such depositors, and filing any appropriate applications with applicable Regulatory Authorities. If any such delegation is made to Purchaser (or such Affiliate), Purchaser (or such Affiliate) will perform all of the duties so delegated and comply with the terms of Seller’s agreement with the depositor of the XXX Deposits affected thereby.

(b) With respect to Deposits in Xxxxx Accounts, Seller shall use reasonable best efforts and cooperate with Purchaser to invite depositors thereof at Closing to direct a transfer of each such depositor’s Xxxxx Account and the related Deposits to Purchaser (or an Affiliate of Purchaser), as trustee or custodian, as the case may be, thereof, and to adopt Purchaser’s (or such Affiliate’s) form of Xxxxx Master Plan as a successor to that of Seller. Purchaser (or such Affiliate) will not be required to assume a Xxxxx Account unless Purchaser (or such Affiliate) has received the documents reasonably necessary for such assumption at or before the Closing. With respect to any owner of a Xxxxx Account who does not adopt Purchaser’s (or such affiliate’s) form of Xxxxx Master Plan, Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts in order to enable Purchaser (or such Affiliate) to retain such Xxxxx Accounts at the Branches.

(c) If, notwithstanding the foregoing, as of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall be unable to retain deposit liabilities in respect of an XXX, Xxxxx Account, or HSA, such deposit liabilities, which shall on or prior to the Closing Date be set forth on Exhibit 2.4(c), shall be excluded from Deposits for purposes of this Agreement and shall constitute “Excluded XXX/Xxxxx Account/HSA Deposits.”

2.5 Sale and Transfer of Servicing. The Loans shall be sold on a servicing-released basis and any related escrow deposits shall be transferred to Purchaser. All rights, obligations, liabilities and responsibilities with respect to the servicing of the Loans from and after the Effective Time will be assumed by Purchaser. Seller shall be discharged and indemnified by Purchaser from all liability with respect to servicing of the Loans from and after the Effective Time and Purchaser shall not assume and shall be discharged and indemnified by Seller from all liability with respect to servicing of the Loans prior the Effective Time.

2.6 Determination of Appraised Value. Within thirty (30) days after the date of this Agreement, Appraiser shall deliver to Purchaser and Seller an appraisal report including its proposed determination of the Appraised Value (a “Proposed Appraised Value”). Within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such appraisal report from Appraiser, Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing whether Seller accepts or rejects Appraiser’s Proposed Appraised Value. If Seller timely notifies Purchaser that Seller accepts Appraiser’s Proposed Appraised Value or fails to notify Purchaser of its acceptance or rejection of the Appraiser’s Proposed Appraised Value within such ten (10) Business Day period, then such Proposed Appraised Value shall be the Appraised Value for purposes of this Agreement. If Seller rejects Appraiser’s Proposed Appraised Value within such ten (10) Business Day period, Seller shall be deemed to have elected to arbitrate as of the last day of the ten (10) Business Day period, and the determination of Appraised Value shall be determined by arbitration in accordance with the following provisions of this paragraph. Purchaser and Seller shall each appoint a local appraiser who is a member of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers, or if one is not available, a member of the most nearly comparable organization, who has a minimum of five (5) years’ experience in the West Virginia commercial real estate market, is licensed by the State of West Virginia, and is not affiliated with either party or involved in an active transaction in which either party is also involved. Each party shall notify the other as to the name and address of the appraiser selected within five (5) Business Days after the arbitration election date. Each appraiser shall, within the next twenty (20) Business Days, notify both parties of their Proposed Appraised Value. If the two appraisers agree upon a Proposed Appraised Value, such determination shall be the Appraised Value for purposes of this Agreement. If the appraisers fail to agree upon a Proposed Appraised Value within such twenty (20) Business Day period, the two appraisers shall select a third appraiser, who shall satisfy the same professional qualification requirements set forth above, and the appraisers will then notify Purchaser and Seller of such appraiser’s name, address and selection within five (5) Business Days following the failure to agree upon an Appraised Value. The third appraiser will select one or the other of the two Proposed Appraised Values submitted by the other two appraisers and will notify the parties and the appraisers within ten (10) Business Days of being selected. The determination of the third appraiser shall be final and binding on Purchaser and Seller and the Proposed Appraised Value so selected shall be the Appraised Value for purposes of this Agreement. The costs of the Appraiser shall be shared equally by Purchaser and Seller. The cost of any other appraisers shall be borne by the Party whose appraisal is not accepted as the Appraised Value by the third appraiser.

The date on which the Closing occurs is referred to herein as the “Closing Date.” Unless the parties agree pursuant to Section 4.9(a) that the conversion of the data processing with respect to the Branches and Assumed Liabilities will be performed on a date other than the Closing Date, the Closing Date shall be a Friday and such conversion will be completed prior to the opening of business on the Business Day following the Closing Date.

3.2 Payment at Closing.

(a) At Closing, in consideration for the purchase of the Assets, Purchaser will assume the Assumed Liabilities and the following payment will be made: (i) if the Estimated Payment Amount is a positive amount, Seller shall pay to Purchaser an amount in U.S. dollars equal to such positive amount; or (ii) if the Estimated Payment Amount is a negative amount, Purchaser shall pay to Seller an amount in U.S. dollars equal to the absolute value of such negative amount.

(b) All payments to be made hereunder by one party to the other shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds (in all cases to an account specified in writing by Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, to the other not later than the third (3rd) Business Day prior to the Closing Date) on the date of payment.

(c) If any instrument of transfer contemplated herein shall be recorded in any public record before the Closing and thereafter the Closing does not occur, then at the request of such transferring party the other party will deliver (or execute and deliver) such instruments and take such other action as such transferring party shall reasonably request to revoke such purported transfer.

3.3 Adjustment of Purchase Price.

(a) On or before the thirtieth (30th) calendar day following the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser the Final Closing Statement and shall make available the work papers, schedules and other supporting data as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser to enable it to verify the amounts set forth in the Final Closing Statement.

(b) The determination of the Adjusted Payment Amount shall be final and binding on the parties hereto on or before 12:00 noon, Eastern time, on the thirtieth (30th) calendar day after receipt by Purchaser of the Final Closing Statement, unless Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing of its disagreement with any amount included therein or omitted therefrom, in which case, if the parties are unable to resolve the disputed items within ten (10) Business Days of the receipt by Seller of notice of such disagreement, such items in dispute (and only such items) shall be determined by a nationally recognized independent accounting firm selected by mutual agreement between Seller and Purchaser, and such determination shall be final and binding. Such accounting firm shall be instructed to resolve the disputed items within ten (10) Business Days of engagement, to the extent reasonably practicable.

Any payments required by Section 3.4 shall be made contemporaneously with the foregoing payment.

(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 until the Effective Time, and that Purchaser shall operate the Branches, hold the Assets and assume the Assumed Liabilities for its own account thereafter. Thus, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, certain items of income and expense that relate to the Assets, the Deposits and the Branches shall be prorated as provided in Section 3.4(b) as of the Effective Time.

If, within thirty (30) calendar days of the receipt of the Draft Allocation Statement, Seller shall not have objected in writing to such draft, the Draft Allocation Statement shall become the Final Allocation Statement, as defined below. If Seller objects to the Draft Allocation Statement in writing within such thirty (30) calendar-day period, Purchaser and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any disputed items. If, within ninety (90) calendar days after the final determination of the Adjusted Payment Amount in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.3, Purchaser and Seller fail to agree on such allocation, any disputed aspects of such allocation shall be resolved by a nationally recognized independent accounting firm mutually acceptable to Purchaser and Seller. The allocation of the total consideration, as agreed upon by Purchaser and Seller (as a result of either Seller’s failure to object to the Draft Allocation Statement or of good faith negotiations between Purchaser and Seller) or determined by an accounting firm under this Section 3.9(a) (the “Final Allocation Statement”), shall be final and binding upon the parties.

In the event any party hereto receives notice of an audit in respect of the allocation of the consideration paid for the Assets, such party shall immediately notify the other party in writing as to the date and subject of such audit. Any adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 3.3 shall be allocated among the Assets by reference to the item or items to which such adjustment is attributable.

ARTICLE 4

TRANSITIONAL MATTERS

4.1 Transitional Arrangements. Seller and Purchaser agree to cooperate and to proceed as follows to effect the transfer of account record responsibility for the Branches:

(a) Not later than thirty (30) calendar days after the date of this Agreement, Seller will meet with Purchaser to investigate, confirm and agree upon mutually acceptable transaction settlement procedures and specifications, equipment, files, procedures and schedules, for the transfer of account record responsibility; provided, however, that Seller shall not be obligated under this Agreement to provide Purchaser (i) any information regarding Seller’s relationship with the customers outside of the relevant Branch (e.g., other customer products, householding information) or (ii) any email conversion and forwarding, fax forwarding or phone forwarding services.

(b) Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Purchaser the specifications and conversion sample files within thirty (30) calendar days after the date of this Agreement.

(c) From time to time prior to the Closing, after Purchaser has tested and confirmed the conversion sample files, Purchaser may request and Seller shall provide within five (5) Business Days reasonable additional file-related information, including complete name and address, account masterfile, ATM/debit card account number information, applicable transaction and stop/hold/caution information, account-to-account relationship information, online and mobile banking information such as payees, account histories and any other related information with respect to the Deposits and the Loans.

(d) Not later than thirty (30) calendar days after the date of this Agreement, Purchaser and Seller shall mutually agree upon (i) a calendar for all customer notifications to be sent pursuant to and in accordance with Section 4.2 and (ii) the mailing file requirements of Purchaser in connection with such customer notifications.

4.2 Customers.

(a) Not later than sixty (60) calendar days following the date hereof (except as otherwise required by applicable law):

(i) Seller will notify the holders of Deposits to be transferred on the Closing Date that, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Purchaser will be assuming liability for such Deposits; and

(ii) each of Seller and Purchaser shall provide, or join in providing where appropriate, all notices to customers of the Branches and other Persons that either Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, is required to give under applicable law or the terms of any agreement between Seller and any customer in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, or, to the extent permitted by applicable law and the terms of any agreement between Seller and any customer, will further an efficient transition of the Deposit and Loan relationships to Purchaser; provided that Seller and Purchaser agree that any joint notices shall not include any dual-branded letters but instead shall include individual bank inserts for each of Seller and Purchaser.

A party proposing to send or publish any notice or communication pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall furnish to the other party a copy of the proposed form of such notice or communication at least five (5) Business Days in advance of the proposed date of the first mailing, posting, or other dissemination thereof to customers, and shall not unreasonably refuse to amend such notice to incorporate any changes that the other such party proposes as necessary to comply with applicable law. Seller shall have the right to add customer transition information to any customer notifications to be sent by Purchaser pursuant to this Section 4.2 and such information may, at Seller’s option, be included either directly in Purchaser’s notification or in an additional insert that shall accompany the applicable Purchaser notification. Any customer notifications

sent by Purchaser pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall only include the last four digits of any account number of Seller. All costs and expenses of any notice or communication sent or published by Purchaser or Seller shall be the responsibility of the party sending such notice or communication and all costs and expenses of any joint notice or communication shall be shared equally by Seller and Purchaser. As soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within forty five (45) calendar days after the date hereof, Seller shall provide to Purchaser a report of the names and addresses of the owners of the Deposits, the borrowers on the Loans and the lessees of the safe deposit boxes as of a recent date hereof in connection with the mailing of such materials and Seller shall provide updates to such report at reasonable intervals thereafter upon the reasonable request of Purchaser from time to time. No communications by Purchaser, and no communications by Seller outside the ordinary course of business, to any such owners, borrowers, customers or lessees as such shall be made prior to the Closing Date except as provided in this Agreement or otherwise agreed to by the parties in writing, not to be unreasonably withheld in the case of communications compliant with applicable law and agreements between Seller and such owners, borrowers, customers or lessees that are appropriate to further an efficient transition of Deposit and Loan relationships to Purchaser.

(b) Following the giving of any notice described in Section 4.2(a), Purchaser and Seller shall deliver to each new customer at any of the Branches such notice or notices as may be reasonably necessary to notify such new customers of Purchaser’s pending assumption of liability for the Deposits and to comply with applicable law.

(c) Neither Purchaser nor Seller shall object to the use, by depositors of the Deposits, of payment orders or cashier’s checks issued to or ordered by such depositors on or prior to the Closing Date, which payment orders bear the name, or any logo, trademark, service xxxx or the proprietary xxxx of Seller or any of its respective Affiliates.

(d) Purchaser shall notify Deposit account customers and Loan account customers that, upon the expiration of a post-Closing processing period, which shall be sixty (60) calendar days after the Closing Date, any Items that are drawn on Seller shall not thereafter be honored by Seller. Such notice shall be given by delivering written instructions to such effect to such Deposit account customers and Loan account customers in accordance with this Section 4.2.

4.3 ACH Debit or Credit Transactions.

(a) Seller will use its reasonable best efforts to provide to Purchaser on the Closing Date all of those automated clearing house (“ACH”) originator arrangements related (by agreement or other standing arrangement, if any) to the Deposits that are in Seller’s ACH warehouse system and will use its reasonable efforts to so transfer any other such arrangements. For a period of sixty (60) calendar days following the Closing, in the case of ACH debit or credit transactions (“ACH Entries”) to accounts constituting Deposits (the final Business Day of such period being the “ACH Entries Cut-Off Date”), Seller shall transfer to Purchaser all received ACH Entries at 12 noon Eastern time (or such other mutually agreed upon time), each Business Day. Such transfers shall contain ACH Entries effective for that Business Day only. Purchaser shall be responsible for returning ACH Entries to the originators through the ACH clearing house for ACH Entries that cannot be posted for any reason, including as a result of insufficient funds

in the applicable Deposit account or the applicable Deposit account being closed. Compensation for ACH Entries not forwarded to Purchaser on the same Business Day as that on which Seller has received such deposits will be handled in accordance with the applicable rules established by the United States Council on International Banking. After the ACH Entries Cut-Off Date, Seller may discontinue forwarding ACH Entries and funds and return such ACH Entries to the originators marked “Account Closed.” Seller and its Affiliates shall not be liable for any overdrafts that may thereby be created. Purchaser and Seller shall agree on a reasonable period of time prior to the Closing during which Seller will no longer be obligated to accept new ACH Entries arrangements related to the Branches. At the time of the ACH Entries Cut-Off Date, Purchaser will provide ACH originators with account numbers relating to the Deposits.

(b) Purchaser agrees that in the event that it or any of its Affiliates receives any ACH Entries related to the Deposits prior to the Closing (each, an “Unauthorized ACH Entry”), Purchaser, in its sole discretion, shall either (i) not accept such Unauthorized ACH Entry and return the related ACH Entries to the originators or (ii) provide an automated solution for the delivery of the Unauthorized ACH Entry to Seller with the correct Seller bank routing and account number so that the item can be posted to the correct Seller deposit account. Purchaser agrees to indemnify Seller for any claims or Losses that Seller may incur as a result of processing an Unauthorized ACH Entry.

(c) As soon as practicable after the notice provided in Section 4.2(a), Purchaser shall send appropriate notice to all customers having accounts constituting Deposits the terms of which provide for ACH Entries of such accounts by third parties, instructing such customers concerning the transfer of customer ACH Entries authorizations from Seller to Purchaser. Such notice shall be in a form reasonably agreed to by the parties. Beginning on the Closing Date, Purchaser shall provide an electronic notification of change to the ACH originators of such ACH Entries with account numbers relating to the Deposits.

(d) Purchaser shall establish ACH service prior to Closing Date for all ACH originator accounts. As soon as practicable after the notice provided in Section 4.2(a), Purchaser shall contact all ACH originator clients to (i) notify them of the change in service following the Closing Date and (ii) establish ACH service prior to Closing Date including appropriate client testing. Any ACH origination file received prior to Closing Date regardless of the effective date will be processed by Seller. Seller will be responsible for creating client reporting for any ACH return transactions that were originated prior to, but returned after, Closing Date. Seller may create settlement transactions to ACH originators for returned or exception transactions received for files originated prior to the Closing Date for a period of up to sixty (60) days following the Closing Date or the effective date of the last file processed by Seller prior to the Closing Date, whichever is later. These settlement transactions will made by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

4.4 Wires. After the Closing Date, Seller shall (a) no longer be obligated to process or forward to Purchaser any incoming or outgoing wires (“Wires”) received by Seller for credit to accounts constituting Deposits, (b) return all Wires received after the Closing Date to the originator as unable to apply to the referenced account constituting a Deposit and (c) upon reasonable request by Purchaser, provide Purchaser with historical incoming Wire history information with respect to the thirteen (13) month period prior to the Closing Date (the

“Covered Period”) such that Purchaser is able to provide current wire instructions to the originator from and after the Closing Date. The Wire history information provided under the terms of the previous sentence shall include the transaction details, including the beneficiary account number, beneficiary account name, cumulative value and total number of Wires received during the Covered Period.

The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Purchaser does not, and will not, (i) violate any provision of its charter or by-laws or (ii) subject to Regulatory Approvals, violate or constitute a breach of, or default under, any law, rule, regulation, judgment, decree, ruling or order of any Regulatory Authority to which Purchaser is subject or any agreement or instrument of Purchaser, or to which Purchaser is subject or by which Purchaser is otherwise bound, which violation, breach, contravention or default referred to in this clause (ii), individually or in the aggregate, would be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

6.3 Approvals and Consents. Other than the Regulatory Approvals, no notices, reports or other filings are required to be made by Purchaser with, nor are any consents, registrations, approvals, permits or authorizations required to be obtained by Purchaser from, any governmental or regulatory authorities of the United States or the several States in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Purchaser and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby by Purchaser, the failure to make or obtain any or all of which, individually or in the aggregate, would be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

6.4 Regulatory Matters.

(a) There are no pending or, to Purchaser’s knowledge, threatened disputes or controversies between Purchaser and any federal, state or local governmental agency or authority that, individually or in the aggregate, would be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates has received any indication from any federal or state governmental agency or authority that such agency would oppose or refuse to grant a Regulatory Approval, and Purchaser knows of no reason that it will not receive any necessary approval or authorization of all applicable bank Regulatory Authorities in time sufficient for the Closing Date to occur on or prior to June 30, 2021.

(c) Neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates are a party to any written order, decree, agreement or memorandum of understanding with, or commitment letter or similar submission to, any federal or state regulatory agency or authority charged with the supervision or regulation of depository institutions, nor has Purchaser been advised by any such agency or authority that such agency or authority is contemplating issuing or requesting any such order, decree, agreement, memorandum of understanding, commitment letter or submission, in each case that, individually or in the aggregate, would be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(d) Purchaser is, and on a pro forma basis giving effect to the P&A Transaction, will be, (i) “well capitalized” and “well managed” (as those terms are defined in applicable regulations), and (ii) in compliance with all capital requirements, standards and ratios required by each state or federal bank regulator with jurisdiction over Purchaser, including any such higher requirement, standard or ratio as shall apply to institutions engaging in the acquisition of insured institution deposits, assets or branches, and no such regulator is likely to, or has indicated that it may, condition any of the Regulatory Approvals upon an increase in Purchaser’s capital or compliance with any capital requirement, standard or ratio.

(e) Purchaser has no reason to believe that, as of the date hereof, it will be required to divest deposit liabilities, branches, loans or any business or line of business, or raise capital or achieve increased regulatory capital ratios or otherwise modify its financial condition or business at the request of any Regulatory Authority as a condition to the receipt of any of the Regulatory Approvals.

(f) Purchaser and each of its Affiliates that is an insured depository institution was rated “Satisfactory” or “Outstanding” for performance under the Community Reinvestment Act (the “CRA”) following its most recent CRA performance examination by a Regulatory Authority. Purchaser has neither been informed that its current rating will or may be lowered in connection with a pending or future examination for CRA performance nor does it have knowledge of the existence of any fact or circumstance or set of facts or circumstances that could reasonably be expected to result in Purchaser having its current rating lowered.

(g) Purchaser and each of its subsidiaries have complied with and are not in default or violation of any applicable laws, regulations or rules relating to anti-money laundering, consumer protection and discriminatory lending or leasing practices, and Purchaser’s record of compliance with such laws, regulations and rules is consistent with the granting of all Regulatory Approvals.

(h) Purchaser has received no notice of and has no knowledge of any planned or threatened objection by any community group to the transactions contemplated hereby.

6.5 Litigation and Undisclosed Liabilities. There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to Purchaser’s knowledge, threatened against Purchaser, or obligations or liabilities (whether or not accrued, contingent or otherwise) or, to Purchaser’s knowledge, facts or circumstances that could reasonably be expected to result in any claims against or obligations or liabilities of Purchaser that, individually or in the aggregate, would have a Material Adverse Effect.

6.8 Available Funds. As of the date hereof, Purchaser has, and on the Closing Date Purchaser will have, adequate financial resources to enable it to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such financial ability is not contingent on raising any equity capital, obtaining financing therefor, consent of any lender or any other matter relating to funding the P&A Transaction.

6.9 Limitations on Representations and Warranties. Except for the representations and warranties specifically set forth in this Article 6, neither Purchaser nor any of its agents, Affiliates or representatives, nor any other Person, makes or shall be deemed to make any representation or warranty to Seller, express or implied, at law or in equity, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and Purchaser hereby disclaims any such representation or warranty whether by Purchaser or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives or any other Person.

(a) Until the earlier of the Closing Date and the date on which this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Article 10, Seller shall afford to Purchaser and its officers and authorized agents and representatives reasonable access during normal business hours to the properties, books, records, contracts, documents, files and other information of or relating to the Assets and the Assumed Liabilities; provided, however, that nothing herein shall afford Purchaser the right to review any information to the extent relating to loans held by Seller not constituting Loans, including information regarding borrowers, or any information to the extent relating to Seller’s other branches, facilities and operations not subject to this Agreement. Seller shall identify to Purchaser, within fifteen (15) calendar days after the date hereof, a group of its salaried personnel (with the necessary expertise and experience to assist Purchaser) that shall constitute a “transition group” who will be available to Purchaser at reasonable times during normal business hours to provide information and assistance in connection with Purchaser’s investigation of matters relating to the Assets, the Assumed Liabilities and transition matters. Such transition group will also work cooperatively to identify and resolve issues arising from any commingling of Records with Seller’s records for its other branches, assets and operations not subject to this Agreement. Seller shall furnish Purchaser with such additional financial and operating data and other information about its business operations at the Branches as may be reasonably necessary for the orderly transfer of the business operations of the Branches, and Purchaser shall be responsible for any documented, out-of-pocket third party costs reasonably incurred by Seller in connection with furnishing such information; provided, however, that nothing herein shall afford Purchaser the right to review any information relating to loans held by Seller not constituting Loans, including information regarding borrowers or any information relating to Seller’s other branches, facilities and operations not subject to this Agreement. Any investigation pursuant to this Section 7.2(a) shall be conducted in such manner as not to unreasonably interfere with the conduct of Seller’s business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not be required to provide access to or disclose information where such access or disclosure would impose an unreasonable burden on Seller, or any employee of Seller, or would violate or prejudice the rights of customers, jeopardize any attorney-client privilege or contravene any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, decree, fiduciary duty or binding agreement entered into and, to the extent permitted, disclosed to Purchaser prior to the date of this Agreement. Seller and Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements under circumstances in which the restrictions of the preceding sentence apply. Purchaser may conduct any environmental assessments of the Real Property, at its sole expense, prior to the Closing Date, and Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser in completing any such assessments that Purchaser elects to obtain.

(b) From and after the date of this Agreement, Seller shall keep confidential nonpublic information in its possession (other than information that was or becomes available to Seller on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than Purchaser or any of its Affiliates) relating to Purchaser, its Affiliates and, except in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, the Branches, the Assets and the Assumed Liabilities; provided, however, that Seller shall not be liable hereunder with respect to any disclosure to the extent such disclosure is required pursuant to legal process (including pursuant to the assertion of Seller’s rights under this Agreement) (by interrogatories, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process), regulatory process or request, or to the extent such disclosure is reasonably necessary for purposes of compliance by Seller or its Affiliates with tax or regulatory reporting requirements; provided that in the event of any disclosure pursuant to legal process Seller exercises reasonable efforts to preserve the confidentiality of the non-public information disclosed, including by cooperating with Purchaser to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the non-public information required to be disclosed.

(c) From and after the Closing, Purchaser shall keep confidential non-public information in its possession (other than information that was or becomes available to Purchaser on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than Seller or any of its Affiliates) (i) relating to Seller and its Affiliates other than the Branches, the Assets and the Assumed Liabilities or (ii) that contains any financial records of Seller’s customers other than holders of Deposits or Obligors of the Loans; provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be liable hereunder with respect to any disclosure to the extent such disclosure is required pursuant to legal process (including pursuant to the assertion of Purchaser’s rights under this Agreement) (by interrogatories, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) or regulatory process or request; provided that in the event of any disclosure pursuant to legal process Purchaser exercises reasonable efforts to preserve the confidentiality of the non-public information disclosed, including by cooperating with Seller to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the non-public information required to be disclosed.

7.3 Regulatory Approvals.

(a) As soon as practicable and in no event later than thirty (30) calendar days after the date of this Agreement, Purchaser shall prepare and file any applications, notices and filing required in order to obtain the Regulatory Approvals. Purchaser shall take all necessary actions to obtain each such approval as promptly as reasonably practicable and Purchaser shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, knowingly take any action that would be expected to have the effect of denying or materially delaying or conditioning such approval. Seller will cooperate in connection therewith (including the furnishing of any information and any reasonable undertaking or commitments that may be required to obtain the Regulatory Approvals). Each party will advise the other if such party is contacted by any Regulatory Authority with respect to the transaction contemplated hereby, and each party will provide the other with copies of any applications or submissions and all correspondence or communications relating thereto prior to filing, other than material filed in connection therewith under a claim of confidentiality. If any Regulatory Authority requires the modification of any of the terms and provisions of this Agreement as a condition to granting any Regulatory Approval, then the parties hereto will negotiate in good faith to seek a mutually agreeable adjustment to the terms of the transaction contemplated hereby.

(b) The parties shall promptly advise each other upon receiving any communication from any Regulatory Authority whose consent or approval is required for consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement that causes such party to believe that there is a reasonable likelihood that the Regulatory Approvals or any other consent or approval required hereunder will not be obtained or that the receipt of any such approval will be materially delayed. In addition, subject to applicable law, each party shall promptly furnish the other party with a copy of the nonconfidential portions of all communications to and from any Regulatory Authority (or written summaries of oral communications) with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

7.4 Consents.

(a) Seller agrees to use reasonable best efforts to obtain from lessors under and counterparties under Assumed Contracts and any other parties the consent of which is required in order to assign or transfer any Asset or Deposit to Purchaser on the Closing Date, any required consents to such assignment or transfer to Purchaser on the Closing Date; provided that, that neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to commence any litigation or offer or grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise) to any third party to obtain such authorizations, approvals, consents, negative clearances or waivers; and provided, further, that Seller shall not be obligated to incur any monetary obligations or expenditures to the parties whose consent is requested in connection with the utilization of its reasonable efforts to obtain any such required consents. If any such required consent cannot be obtained, notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Assets and Assumed Liabilities associated with the subject Branch, other than, subject to approval of any required Regulatory Authority, any such Assumed Contract or other Asset or Assumed Liability as to which consent cannot be obtained, shall nevertheless be transferred to Purchaser at the Closing and the parties shall negotiate in good faith and Seller and Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to make alternative arrangements reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser. If any alternative arrangement is implemented between Seller and Purchaser at or prior to the Closing, the parties shall continue after the Closing to exercise reasonable efforts to obtain the related consents that could not be obtained prior to the Closing, and, if such a consent is obtained, Seller shall assign to Purchaser the applicable Assigned Contracts pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and the parties shall restructure the applicable alternative arrangement.

(b) Unless otherwise directed by Purchaser, Seller shall use reasonable best efforts to procure estoppel certificates substantially in the form of Exhibit 7.4(b)(i) attached hereto, from each lessor under Branch Leases.

7.5 Efforts to Consummate; Further Assurances.

(a) Purchaser and Seller agree to use reasonable best efforts to satisfy or cause to be satisfied as soon as practicable their respective obligations hereunder and the conditions precedent to the Closing.

(b) From time to time following the Closing, at Purchaser’s request and sole expense, Seller will duly execute and deliver such assignments, bills of sale, deeds, acknowledgments, other instruments of conveyance and transfer and/or a limited power of attorney to effect the same, as shall be necessary or appropriate to vest in Purchaser the full legal and equitable title to the Assets and the Assumed Liabilities. Purchaser shall be responsible for filing or recording, as applicable, any and all assignments or instruments evidencing the transfer of the Loans, Loan Documents and any liens on collateral securing the same from Seller to Purchaser.

(c) Subject to Section 4.3, on and after the Closing Date, each party shall promptly deliver to the other, at such other party’s expense, all mail and other communications properly addressable or deliverable to the other as a consequence of the P&A Transaction; and without limitation of the foregoing, on and after the Closing Date, Seller shall promptly forward any mail, communications or other material relating to the Deposits or the Assets transferred on the Closing Date, including that portion of any IRS “B” tapes that relate to such Deposits, to such employees of Purchaser at such addresses as may from time to time be specified by Purchaser in writing.

(d) This Agreement shall not constitute an assignment or attempted assignment (partial or otherwise) of the FDIC Purchase Agreement. If requested by Seller in its reasonable discretion, Purchaser shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Seller in the satisfaction of Seller’s obligations under the FDIC Agreement, including, but not limited to, providing Seller with all tax information, data, records and other reasonably requested information necessary for Seller to satisfy its obligations under the FDIC Purchase Agreement in connection with The First State Bank Assets and Assumed Liabilities. Further, if requested by Purchaser in its reasonable discretion, Seller shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to provide Purchaser (to the extent permitted by applicable law and not in breach or violation of the terms of the FDIC Purchase Agreement) with the benefits of the FDIC Purchase Agreement in connection with The First State Bank Assets and Assumed Liabilities, including sub-contracting, sub-licensing, occupancy and/or use agreements or sub-leasing to Purchaser and enforcement by Seller for the benefit of Purchaser of any and all rights of Seller against a third party thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller makes no representations or warranties and provides no guarantees with respect to the FDIC’s interpretation or performance of the FDIC Purchase Agreement, and Seller shall not be required to incur any out-of-pocket cost in connection with obtaining or pursuing the benefits of the FDIC Purchase Agreement. Seller shall not be obligated to convey any benefits under the FDIC Purchase Agreement unless such benefit is actually received by Seller from the FDIC. This Section 7.5(d) shall survive the Closing until the termination of the FDIC Purchase Agreement.

7.6 Solicitation of Accounts; Non-Solicitation.

(a) For one year after the Closing Date, Seller will not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, solicit, directly or indirectly other than through general non-targeted advertising, deposit taking or loan product business from any holders of Deposits or Obligors of Loans. Except as set forth in the foregoing sentence, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to at any time prohibit or otherwise limit Seller or any of its Affiliates from soliciting financial services or any other businesses, including deposits, loans and other financial products. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 7.6 shall restrict Seller or any of its Affiliates from responding to unsolicited inquiries with respect to banking or other financial services or providing such services in response thereto. Purchaser understands and acknowledges that Seller or its Affiliates will conduct banking operations in the same geographic area as the Branches.

(b) Prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser agrees that it will not attempt to solicit Branch customers through advertising nor transact its business in a way that would reasonably be expected to induce such customers to close any account and open accounts directly with Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Purchaser and its Affiliates shall be permitted to (i) engage in advertising, solicitations or marketing campaigns not targeted at such customers, and relationships that result therefrom, (ii) engage in lending, deposit, safe deposit, trust or other financial services with customers who have relationships with Purchaser as of the date hereof through other offices of Purchaser or product channels, (iii) respond to unsolicited inquiries by such customers with respect to banking or other financial services, and engage in relationships that result therefrom, and (iv) provide notices or communications relating to the transactions contemplated hereby in accordance with the provisions hereof.

(c) For a period of twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, Seller will not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, solicit, directly or indirectly, for employment any Transferred Employee; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 7.6(c) shall be deemed to prohibit Seller or its Affiliates from (i) making general solicitations not targeted at Transferred Employees (including job announcements in newspapers and industry publications or on the Internet), (ii) soliciting any Transferred Employee whose employment is terminated by Purchaser prior to Seller, or any of its Affiliates, soliciting such Transferred Employee, (iii) soliciting any Transferred Employee who has not been employed by Purchaser or its Affiliates during the nine (9) month period prior to the solicitation not otherwise permitted hereunder or (iv) using employee search firms, so long as such employee search firms are not instructed to and do not engage in targeted solicitations of Transferred Employees.

(d) If any provision or part of this Section 7.6 is held by a court or other authority of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree that the court or authority making such determination will have the power to reduce the duration or scope of such provision or to delete specific words or phrases as necessary (but only to the minimum extent necessary) to cause such provision or part to be valid and enforceable. If such court or authority does not have the legal authority to take the actions described in the preceding sentence, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith a modified provision that would, insofar as possible, reflect the original intent of this Section 7.6 without violating applicable law.

7.7 Insurance. Seller will use reasonable best efforts to maintain in effect until the Closing Date all casualty and public liability policies relating to the Branches and maintained by Seller on the date hereof or to procure comparable replacement coverage and maintain such policies or replacement coverage in effect until the Closing. Purchaser shall provide all casualty and public liability insurance for the Branches after the Closing. In the event of any material

damage, destruction or condemnation affecting Real Property between the date hereof and the time of the Closing, Purchaser shall have the right to direct that the Seller in Seller’s sole discretion, and Seller shall, either (i) exclude any Real Property so affected from the Assets to be acquired, (ii) take reasonable steps to repair or replace the damaged or destroyed property, or (iii) deliver to Purchaser any insurance proceeds and other payments, to the extent of the fair market value or the replacement cost of the Real Property, received by Seller as a result thereof unless, in the case of damage or destruction, Seller has repaired or replaced the damaged or destroyed property.

7.8 Servicing Prior to Closing Date. With respect to each of the Loans, from the date hereof until the Closing Date, Seller shall service such Loans in a manner that is consistent with the servicing provided by Seller with respect to its loans made in the geographic area in which the Branches operate that are not Loans. Further, without the prior written consent of Purchaser (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, Seller shall not: (a) except as required by law, regulation or the terms of the Loan Documents, release any collateral or any party from any liability on or with respect to any of the Loans; (b) compromise or settle any material claims of any kind or character with respect to the Loans; or (c) except as required by law or regulation or to the extent consistent with prevailing market terms, modify, amend or waive any of the material terms of any Loan as set forth in the Loan Documents.

7.9 Change of Name, Etc. Promptly after the Effective Time, Purchaser will (a) change the name and logo on all documents, Branches and other facilities relating to the Assets and the Assumed Liabilities to Purchaser’s name and logo, (b) notify all persons whose Loans, Deposits or Safe Deposit Agreements are transferred under this Agreement of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (c) provide all appropriate notices to any Regulatory Authorities required as a result of the consummation of such transactions. For the avoidance of doubt, no changes shall be made to the name or logo on documents, Branches or other facilities until the expiration of all applicable waiting periods associated with the Regulatory Approvals and no such items shall be used or unveiled until after Closing. Seller shall cooperate with any commercially reasonable request of Purchaser directed to prepare for or accomplish the removal of Seller’s signage prior to the next Business Day after the Closing Date (or the removal of signage of an Affiliate of Seller, if applicable) by Purchaser and the installation of Purchaser’s signage by Purchaser; provided, however, that (i) all such removals and all such installations shall be at the expense of Purchaser, (ii) such removals and installations shall be performed in such a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the normal business activities and operations of the Branches and Purchaser shall repair any damage to the area altered to its preexisting condition, (iii) such installed signage shall comply with all applicable zoning and permitting laws and regulations, (iv) such installed signage shall have, if necessary, received the prior approval of the owner or landlord of the facility, and such installed signage shall be covered in such a way as to make Purchaser signage unreadable at all times prior to the Closing, but such cover shall display the name and/or logo of Seller (or of its Affiliates) in a manner reasonably acceptable to Seller and (v) if this Agreement is terminated prior to the Closing, Purchaser shall immediately and at its sole expense restore such signage and any other area altered in connection therewith to its pre-existing condition. During the fourteen (14) calendar day period following the Closing, Purchaser shall afford to Seller and its authorized agents and representatives reasonable access during normal business hours to the Branches to allow Seller the opportunity to confirm Purchaser’s compliance with the terms of this Section 7.9.

ARTICLE 8

TAXES AND EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

8.1 Tax Representations. Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser that all material Tax Returns with respect to the Assets, the Assumed Liabilities or the operation of the Branches, that are required to be filed (taking into account any extension of time within which to file) before the Closing Date, have been or will be duly filed, and all material Taxes shown to be due on such Tax Returns have been or will be paid in full.

8.2 Proration of Taxes. For purposes of this Agreement, in the case of any Straddle Period, (a) Property Taxes for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be equal to the amount of such Property Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the Straddle Period that are in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period, and (b) Taxes (other than Property Taxes) for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be computed as if such taxable period ended as of the Effective Time.

8.3 Sales and Transfer Taxes. Seller and Purchaser shall be equally responsible for the payment of all transfer, recording, documentary, stamp, sales, use (including all bulk sales Taxes) and other similar Taxes and fees (collectively, the “Transfer Taxes”), that are payable or that arise as a result of the P&A Transaction, when due. Seller shall file any Tax Return that is required to be filed in respect of Transfer Taxes described in this Section 8.3 when due, and Purchaser shall cooperate with respect thereto as necessary.

8.4 Information Returns. At the Closing or as soon thereafter as is practicable, Seller shall provide Purchaser with a list of all Deposits on which Seller is back-up withholding as of the Closing Date.

8.5 Payment of Amount Due under Article 8. Any payment by Seller to Purchaser, or to Seller from Purchaser, under this Article 8 (other than payments required by Section 8.3, which shall be paid when determined) to the extent due at the Closing may be offset against any payment due by the other party at the Closing. All subsequent payments under this Article 8 shall be made as soon as determinable and shall be made as provided in Section 3.2(b) and bear interest from the date due to the date of payment at the Federal Funds Rate.

8.6 Assistance and Cooperation. After the Closing Date, each of Seller and Purchaser shall:

(c) The party requesting assistance or cooperation shall bear the other party’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in complying with such request to the extent that those expenses are attributable to fees and other costs of unaffiliated third-party service providers.

8.7 Transferred Employees.

(a) Offers of Employment.

(i) General. At least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the Closing Date (or, in the case of any individual who becomes a Branch Employee following such thirtieth (30th) calendar day prior to the Closing, as soon as practicable after Seller identifies such individual to Purchaser), and effective as of the Closing Date, Purchaser agrees that it shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates to, offer employment to each Branch Employee who is actively employed by Seller as of the Closing Date and, subject to Section 8.7(a)(ii), to each Leave Recipient, and, effective as of the applicable Transfer Date, Purchaser will employ each such employee who has accepted the offer (it being understood and agreed that nothing herein shall authorize Purchaser to solicit or employ any Branch Employee other than in connection with Closing). Following the Closing Date, each Branch Employee employed by Purchaser shall, from and after the applicable Transfer Date, be defined as a “Transferred Employee” for purposes of this Agreement. Subject to the provisions of this Section 8.7, Transferred Employees shall, if applicable, be subject to the employment terms, conditions and rules applicable to other similarly situated employees of Purchaser. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as an employment contract between Purchaser and any Branch Employee or Transferred Employee.

(ii) Special Provisions for Leave Recipients. With respect to any Branch Employee who is not actively at work on the Closing Date as a result of an approved leave of absence (including military leave with reemployment rights under federal and state law, leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993) (collectively, the “Leave Recipients”), Purchaser shall make an offer of employment in the manner required by Section 8.7(a)(i), contingent on such Leave Recipient’s return to active status within six (6) months following the Closing Date or such longer period as may be required by applicable law. When a Leave Recipient who has accepted the offer returns to active status pursuant to the terms hereof, such Leave Recipient shall be considered a Transferred Employee.

(b) Terms of Offer. Each Branch Employee shall be offered employment subject to the following terms and conditions:

(i) Each Branch Employee’s base salary shall be at least equivalent to the rate of annual base salary or regular hourly wage rate, as applicable, paid by Seller to such Branch Employee as of immediately prior to the Closing Date;

(ii) Each Branch Employee shall have the same commission and incentive compensation opportunity generally available to other similarly situated employees of Purchaser, as in effect from time to time;

(iv) Each Branch Employee shall be offered employment at a job location that is no more than forty (40) miles from such Branch Employee’s primary workplace immediately prior to the Closing Date; and

(v) Transferred Employees shall become at-will employees of Purchaser.

(c) Severance Payments. With respect to any Transferred Employee whose employment is terminated by Purchaser for any reason other than cause on or before the six-month anniversary of the applicable Transfer Date, Purchaser shall pay to such Transferred Employee the amount of severance compensation and benefits to which such Transferred Employee is entitled under the severance plan or arrangement of Purchaser applicable to similarly situated employees of Purchaser at the time of such termination; provided, that this Section 8.7(c) shall not apply to a Transferred Employee who enters into any agreement with Purchaser that provides for a severance payment of any kind upon termination of employment, in which case such agreement shall control with respect to any severance payment obligations of Purchaser, if any); and provided, further, in each case that such Transferred Employee shall be credited for service with Seller and its Affiliates as described in Section 8.7(d). In addition to and notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, while Sections 8.7(a) and (b) require that offers be made to all Branch Employees, if a Branch Employee does not receive an offer from Purchaser in compliance with Section 8.7(b) and such Branch Employee’s employment with Seller and its Affiliates is terminated by Seller or its applicable Affiliate after the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (and in no event later than two (2) months following the Closing Date (or, in the case of any Leave Recipient, two (2) months following any later potential Transfer Date contemplated by Section 8.7(a)(ii)) or such later date as may be required to comply with applicable Law (including the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act of 1988, as amended, or any similar state or local Law)), then Purchaser shall reimburse Seller, within thirty (30) days of receipt of an invoice from Seller, for the costs of any severance compensation and benefits (including the costs incurred during any notice period or pay in lieu of notice and the employer portion of any taxes) payable by Seller to such Branch Employee under the applicable Seller severance plan or arrangement, provided, however, that, in the case of each such terminated Branch Employee, such reimbursement amount shall be limited to the costs of any severance compensation and benefits (including the costs incurred during any notice period or pay in lieu of notice and the employer portion of any taxes) payable under the severance plan or arrangement applicable to similarly situated employees of Purchaser as of the date hereof as previously provided to Seller.

(d) Credit for Service. Purchaser shall cause each Benefit Plan, severance plan and time-off program maintained, sponsored, adopted or contributed to by Purchaser or its Affiliates in which Transferred Employees are eligible to participate (collectively, the “Purchaser Benefit Plans”), to take into account for all purposes under Purchaser Benefit Plans (for vesting and eligibility, but not for the purpose of accruals under any plan) the service of such employees with Seller or its Affiliates prior to the applicable Transfer Date to the same extent as such service was credited for the applicable purpose by Seller or the applicable Affiliate, except that this Section 8.7(d) shall not apply to the Summit Financial Group, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership Plan and no prior service credit will be granted for any purpose under such plan. Such service credit shall include service credited by Seller. In addition, Purchaser shall cause each Transferred Employee to be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all Purchaser Benefit Plans, to the extent permissible under applicable law and the terms and conditions of such Plan.

(e) Welfare Plans. Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, (i) waive limitations on benefits relating to any preexisting conditions of the Transferred Employees and their eligible dependents to the extent that such limitations were waived under the applicable employee benefit or welfare plan in which such Transferred Employee participated prior to the applicable Transfer Date, and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to recognize for purposes of annual deductible and out-of-pocket limits under their health and welfare plans applicable to Transferred Employees, deductible and out-of-pocket expenses paid by Transferred Employees and their respective dependents under Seller’s or any of its Affiliates’ health or welfare plans in the calendar year in which the applicable Transfer Date occurs.

(f) Rollover of 401(k) Plan Accounts and Loans. Prior to the Closing Date and thereafter (as applicable), Seller and Purchaser shall take any and all action as may be required, including, if necessary, amendments to the tax-qualified defined contribution plan of Seller in which Transferred Employees participate (the “Seller 401(k) Plan”) and/or the tax qualified defined contribution plan of Purchaser (the “Purchaser 401(k) Plan”), to permit each Transferred Employee to make rollover contributions of “eligible rollover distributions” (within the meaning of Section 401(a)(31) of the Code, including of loans) in an amount equal to the eligible rollover distribution portion of the account balance distributable to such Transferred Employee from the Seller 401(k) Plan to the Purchaser 401(k) Plan.

(g) No Third-Party Rights or Amendment to Benefit Plans. Nothing in this Section 8.7 shall be construed to grant any Branch Employee or Transferred Employee, or any beneficiary or dependent of any Branch Employee or Transferred Employee, or any third party, a right to continued employment by, or to receive any payments or benefits from, Purchaser or Seller or their respective Affiliates or through any employee benefit plan. Except as expressly set forth herein, nothing in this Section 8.7 shall limit Purchaser’s or Purchaser’s Affiliate’s ability or right to amend or terminate any benefit or compensation plan or program of Purchaser or its Affiliates and nothing contained herein shall be construed as an amendment to or modification of any such plan. This Section 8.7 shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party to this Agreement, and nothing in this Section 8.7, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any other Person, including, but not limited to, any current or former director, officer, independent contractor or employee of Seller or any of its Affiliates, any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Section 8.7.

ARTICLE 10

TERMINATION

10.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing Date:

(a) by the mutual written agreement of Purchaser and Seller;

(b) by Seller or Purchaser if there shall have been a breach of any of the covenants or agreements or any of the representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement by the other party, either individually or in the aggregate with all other breaches by such party, such that any of the conditions set forth in Section 9.1(c) or 9.1(d) (in the case of a termination by Purchaser) or Section 9.2(c) or 9.2(d) (in the case of a termination by Seller) would not be satisfied, and (i) such breach is not reasonably capable of being cured or (ii) if such breach is reasonably capable of being cured, is not cured by the date that is thirty (30) days following written notice thereof to the party committing such breach; provided in each case that the terminating party is not then in breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement of such party contained herein such that any of the conditions set forth in Section 9.1(c) or 9.1(d) (in the case of a termination by Seller) or Section 9.2(c) or 9.2(d) (in the case of a termination by Purchaser) would not be satisfied;

(d) by Seller or Purchaser, if any governmental agencies or authorities that must grant a Regulatory Approval has denied approval of the P&A Transaction and such denial has become final and nonappealable or any governmental agency or authority of competent jurisdiction shall have issued a final and nonappealable order permanently enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the P&A Transaction unless the failure to obtain a Regulatory Approval or the imposition of the order shall be due to the failure of the party seeking to terminate this Agreement to perform or observe the covenants and agreements of such party set forth herein.

10.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1, except as set forth in this Agreement as being applicable if the Closing does not occur or as set forth below in this Section 10.2, no party hereto (or any of its directors, officers, employees, agents or Affiliates) shall have any liability or further obligation to any other party, except that neither Seller nor Purchaser shall be relieved or released from any liabilities or damages arising out of any willful, knowing and material breach of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 11

INDEMNIFICATION

11.1 Indemnification.

(a) Subject to Section 12.1, after the Closing, Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by Purchaser, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents, from and against any and all Losses asserted against or incurred by Purchaser to the extent arising out of or resulting from the following:

(i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller in this Agreement;

(ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement to be performed by Seller pursuant to this Agreement;

(iii) any Excluded Taxes;

(iv) any Excluded Liability; or

(v) any responsibility, obligation, duty, legal action, administrative or judicial proceeding, claim, penalty or liability arising out of Seller’s ownership or operation prior to the Effective Time of the business represented by the Branches and the Assets.

(b) Subject to Section 12.1, after the Closing, Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by Seller, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents, from and against any and all Losses asserted against or incurred by Seller to the extent arising out of or resulting from the following:

(i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Purchaser in this Agreement;

(ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement to be performed by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement;

(iii) the Assumed Liabilities;

(iv) any responsibility, obligation, duty, legal action, administrative or judicial proceeding, claim, penalty or liability arising out of Purchaser’s ownership or operation from and after the Effective Time of the business represented by the Branches and the Assets; or

(v) any action or claim brought by the FDIC against Seller under Section 12.4 of the FDIC Purchase Agreement to the extent such action or claim relates to or arises out of Purchaser’s breach of this Agreement.

(c) To exercise its indemnification rights under this Section 11.1 as a result of the assertion against it of any claim or potential liability for which indemnification is provided, the indemnified party shall promptly (and in any event within thirty (30) days) notify the indemnifying party of the assertion of such claim, discovery of any such potential liability or the commencement of any action or proceeding in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder (including, with respect to claims arising from a breach of representation or warranty made in Article 8, the commencement of an audit, administrative investigation or judicial proceeding by any governmental authority); provided, however, that, subject to the Survival Periods set forth in Section 12.1(a), any delay or failure by the indemnified party to give notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent, if at all, that the indemnifying party is prejudiced by reason of such delay or failure. The indemnified party shall advise the indemnifying party of all facts relating to such assertion within the knowledge of the indemnified party, and shall afford the indemnifying party the opportunity, at the indemnifying party’s sole cost and expense, to defend against such claims for liability. In

any such action or proceeding, the indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at its own expense unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party mutually agree to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such suit, action, or proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, and in the reasonable judgment of the indemnified party upon advice of counsel, representation of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to conflicts of interests between them.

(d) Neither party to this Agreement shall settle, compromise, discharge or consent to an entry of judgment with respect to a claim or liability subject to indemnification under this Article 11 without the other party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided that the indemnifying party may agree without the prior written consent of the indemnified party to any settlement, compromise, discharge or consent to an entry of judgment in each case that by its terms (i) obligates the indemnifying party to pay the full amount of the liability in connection with such claim and that unconditionally releases the indemnified party and its Affiliates from all liability or obligation in connection with such claim and (ii) does not impose injunctive or other non-monetary equitable relief against the indemnified party or its Affiliates, or their respective businesses.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, an indemnifying party shall not be liable under Section 11.1(a)(i) or Section 11.1(b)(i) for any Losses sustained by the indemnified party unless and until the aggregate amount of all indemnifiable Losses sustained by the indemnified party shall exceed $100,000 (the “Deductible”), in which event the indemnifying party shall provide indemnification hereunder in respect of all such indemnifiable Losses in excess of the Deductible; provided, however, that the maximum aggregate amount of indemnification payments payable by Seller pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(i) or by Purchaser pursuant to Section 11.1(b)(i), as applicable, shall be ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price (the “Cap”); provided, further, that the Deductible and the Cap shall not apply with respect to any breach of Section 5.1 by Seller or Section 6.1 by Purchaser, as applicable, that gives rise to the underlying right to indemnification set forth in Section 11.1(a)(i) or Section 11.1(b)(i), as applicable. In no event shall either party hereto be entitled to indemnification with respect to consequential or punitive damages or damages for lost profits.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a third party claim includes or would reasonably be expected to include both a claim for Taxes that are Assumed Liabilities pursuant to Section 2.2(a)(vii) (“Purchaser Taxes”) and a claim for Taxes that are not Assumed Liabilities pursuant to Section 2.2(a)(vii) (“Seller Taxes”), and such claim for Seller Taxes is not separable from such a claim for Purchaser Taxes, Purchaser (if the claim for Purchaser Taxes exceeds or reasonably would be expected to exceed in amount the claim for Seller Taxes) or otherwise Seller (Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, the “Controlling Party”) shall be entitled to control the defense of such third party claim (such third party claim, a “Tax Claim”). In such case, the other party (Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, the “Non-Controlling Party”) shall be entitled to participate fully (at the Non-Controlling Party’s sole expense) in the conduct of such Tax Claim and the Controlling Party shall not settle such Tax Claim without the consent of such Non-Controlling Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The costs and expenses of conducting the defense of such Tax Claim shall be reasonably apportioned based on the relative amounts of the Tax Claim that are Seller Taxes and that are Purchaser Taxes.

(g) Except as otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any comparable provision of state, local or foreign Law), Seller, Purchaser, and their respective Affiliates shall treat any and all payments under this Article 11 as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes.

(h) An indemnified party shall use reasonable best efforts to mitigate any claim or liability that such indemnified party asserts under this Article 11. In the event that an indemnified party shall fail to use such reasonable best efforts to mitigate any claim or liability, then notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the indemnifying party shall not be required to indemnify any indemnified party for any portion of a Loss that could reasonably be expected to have been avoided if the indemnified party had made such efforts. Any indemnity payment due under this Article 11 shall be reduced by all insurance proceeds, or other amounts from third parties, delivered to the indemnified party with respect to the underlying claim or liability.

11.2 Exclusivity. After the Closing, except as expressly set forth in Sections 3.3, 3.4, 4.3(b), 4.5, 4.6, 4.8, 4.9, 7.6, 8.3 and Article 10, and except in the case of common law fraud in connection with entering into this Agreement, this Article 11 will provide the exclusive remedy for any breach of representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement or for any other claim arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; provided that it is understood and agreed that the foregoing shall not prevent a party from obtaining specific performance, injunctive relief or any other available non-monetary equitable remedy.

11.3 AS-IS Sale; Waiver of Warranties. Except for the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, Purchaser acknowledges that the Assets and Assumed Liabilities are being sold and accepted on an “AS-IS-WHERE-IS” basis, and are being accepted without any representation or warranty. As part of Purchaser’s agreement to purchase and accept the Assets and Assumed Liabilities AS-IS-WHERE-IS, and not as a limitation on such agreement, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SELLER HEREBY DISCLAIMS AND PURCHASER HEREBY UNCONDITIONALLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND RELEASES ANY AND ALL ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL RIGHTS PURCHASER MIGHT HAVE AGAINST SELLER OR ANY PERSON DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY CONTROLLING SELLER REGARDING ANY FORM OF WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OF ANY KIND OR TYPE, RELATING TO THE ASSETS AND ASSUMED LIABILITIES INCLUDING THE LOANS AND/OR THE COLLATERAL THEREFOR EXCEPT THOSE SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT. SUCH WAIVER AND RELEASE IS, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ABSOLUTE, COMPLETE, TOTAL AND UNLIMITED IN EVERY WAY. SUCH WAIVER AND RELEASE INCLUDES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, A WAIVER AND RELEASE OF EXPRESS WARRANTIES (EXCEPT THOSE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OTHERWISE SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT), IMPLIED WARRANTIES, WARRANTIES OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR USE, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, WARRANTIES OF HABITABILITY, STRICT LIABILITY RIGHTS

AND CLAIMS OF EVERY KIND AND TYPE (EXCEPT THOSE CLAIMS WITH RESPECT TO OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT), INCLUDING CLAIMS REGARDING DEFECTS THAT WERE NOT OR ARE NOT DISCOVERABLE, ALL OTHER EXTANT OR LATER CREATED OR CONCEIVED OF STRICT LIABILITY OR STRICT LIABILITY TYPE CLAIMS AND RIGHTS.

ARTICLE 12

MISCELLANEOUS

12.1 Survival.

(a) The parties’ respective representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall survive until the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, however, that (i) each of the representations and warranties of parties set forth in Sections 5.1 and 6.1 shall survive until the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Closing Date, and (ii) the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 5.9 and 5.11 shall survive for three (3) years after the Closing Date, and thereafter neither party may claim any Loss in relation to a breach thereof (such specified period, a “Survival Period”); provided, however, that the claims set forth in any claim for indemnity made by an indemnified party during the applicable Survival Period shall survive until such claim is finally resolved. The agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing until performed in full or the obligation to so perform shall have expired.

(b) No claim based on any breach of any representation or warranty shall be valid or made unless notice with respect thereto is given to the indemnifying party in accordance with this Agreement and prior to the end of the applicable Survival Period.

12.2 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations of either party may be assigned by either party hereto without the prior written consent of the other party, and any purported assignment in contravention of this Section 12.2 shall be void.

12.9 Entire Agreement; Amendment.

(a) This Agreement contains the entire understanding of and all agreements between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior or contemporaneous agreement or understanding, oral or written, pertaining to any such matters, which agreements or understandings shall be of no force or effect for any purpose; provided, however, that the terms of any confidentiality agreement (including the terms relating to the confidentiality and use of confidential information and the terms relating to not soliciting or hiring employees) the parties hereto previously entered into shall, to the extent not inconsistent with any provisions of this Agreement, continue to apply until the Closing, including, for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to information provided and/or accessed pursuant to Section 7.2(a).

(b) This Agreement may not be amended or supplemented in any manner except by mutual agreement of the parties and as set forth in a writing signed by the parties hereto or their respective successors in interest. The waiver of any breach of any provision under this Agreement by any party shall not be deemed to be waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach under this Agreement.
