Such additional consideration for any Additional Assets will be added to the Purchase Price.

Seller will not grant, sell, assign, transfer to Buyer and Buyer will not purchase any assets of Seller, other than the Assets, including, without limitation, any loan that would be an Asset were it not included on the Kick-out Loan Schedule delivered by Buyer to Seller at the Closing, a tentative version of which Kick-out Loan Schedule (subject to change by Buyer in its discretion at any time on or before the fifth Business Day prior to the Closing Date) is attached as Schedule 1-KO.

2. Assumption of Liabilities; Excluded Liabilities.

If, notwithstanding the foregoing, as of the Closing Date, Buyer shall be unable to retain Deposit Liabilities in respect of an ▇▇▇, such Deposit Liabilities shall be deemed to be an "Excluded Liability" for purposes of this Agreement.

3. Calculation and Allocation of Purchase Price.

(a) Purchase Price. Subject to Section 1 (with respect to Additional Assets), Section 2(a)(2), Section 3(b) and Section 3(d), the purchase price of the Assets (the "Purchase Price") will be an amount equal to the sum of the following:

(1) The aggregate amount of the Cash on Hand and Prepaid Expenses valued at their face amounts on the Closing Date; plus

(2) The aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Loans, plus the aggregate amount of Accrued Interest, on the Closing Date; plus

(3) Four million nine hundred ninety thousand dollars ($4,990,000) for all Assets other than the Loans, the Cash on Hand and the Prepaid Expenses.

(b) Adjustments of Purchase Price.

(1) Solely for purposes of facilitating the identification of the Loans for purposes of Closing and the calculation of the cash due Buyer or Seller, as applicable, on the Closing Date, Seller shall provide to Buyer, on or before the fourth Business Day before the Closing Date, the Draft Closing Statement (including the Draft Loan Schedule); provided, that Buyer has provided to Seller the final Kick0out Loan Schedule no later than the fifth Business Day before the Closing Date.

(2) On or before 12:00 noon Eastern Time on the tenth (10th) calendar day following the Closing Date (the "Adjustment Date"), Seller shall deliver to Buyer the Final Closing Statement (including the Final Loan Schedule) and Seller shall make available to Buyer such work papers, schedules and other supporting data used to calculate and prepare the Final Closing Statement and as may be requested by Buyer to enable Buyer to verify such determinations set forth in the Final Closing Statement.

(3) If, within 7 calendar days following the date of receipt by Buyer of the Final Closing Statement, Buyer does not dispute any items contained in the Final Closing Statement or omitted therefrom, then the Final Closing Statement shall be final and binding upon the parties. In the event (and to the extent) that Buyer disputes any items contained in the Final Closing Statement or omitted therefrom, such disputes shall be resolved in the following manner:

(A) Buyer shall notify Seller, in writing (the "Notice of Disagreement") of such dispute within 7 calendar days after Buyer’s receipt of the Final Closing Statement, which notice shall specify in reasonable detail the nature of the dispute, indicating those specific items that are in dispute and the extent to which they are in dispute (to such extent, the "Disputed Items"); to the extent that an item is not a Disputed Item, it shall be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes hereunder.

(B) During the 7-day period following Seller’s receipt of a Notice of Disagreement from Buyer, Seller and Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any Disputed Items. To the extent that, at the end of such 7-day period, the parties have reached written agreement with respect to any matter covered by a Notice of Disagreement, the Final Closing Statement shall be adjusted to reflect such written agreement and shall to that extent become final and binding upon the parties hereto.

(C) If, at or before the end of the 7-day period specified in subsection 3(b)(3)(B) above, Buyer and Seller shall have failed to reach a written agreement with respect to all or a portion of such Disputed Items (those Disputed Items that remain in dispute at the end of such period are the "Unresolved Changes"), then Buyer and Seller shall promptly refer only those Unresolved Changes to RSM McGladrey, Inc. or its affiliates, or in the event such firm refuses or is unable to make a determination, a mutually agreeable nationally recognized independent certified public accounting firm (the "Firm"), to make a determination as to the subject matter of the Unresolved Changes. If Buyer and Seller fail to agree on a Firm within 3 days after the end of the 7-day period specified in subsection 3(b)(3)(B) above, the Firm shall be selected by the American Arbitration Association. The Firm shall be directed to issue its written decision as promptly as practicable and in any event within 30 days following the submission of the Unresolved Changes to the Firm for resolution, and such decision shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties. Seller and Buyer agree to fully cooperate with and provide any information requested by such Firm. In the event Unresolved Changes are submitted to the Firm for resolution as provided herein, the fees, charges and expenses of the Firm (the "Firm Expenses") shall be borne and paid equally by Buyer and Seller.

(4) On or before 12:00 noon Eastern Time on the fifth Business Day after the Adjusted Payment Amount shall have become final and binding or, in the case of a dispute, the date of the resolution of the dispute pursuant to subsection 3(b)(3) above, if the Adjusted Payment Amount is greater than the Estimated Payment Amount then Seller shall pay to Buyer an amount in dollars equal to such excess, plus interest on such excess amount from the Closing Date to but excluding the payment date, at the Federal Funds Rate, or if the Adjusted Payment Amount is less than the Estimated Payment Amount Buyer shall pay to Seller an amount in dollars equal to such shortfall, plus interest on such shortfall from the Closing Date to, but excluding the payment date, at the Federal Funds Rate. If a payment is owed to Buyer pursuant to this Section 3(b)(4), such payment shall be effected by wire transfer of immediately available funds from Seller to an account designated in writing by the Buyer within five Business Days after the determination thereof. If a payment is owed to Seller pursuant to this Section 3(b)(4), such payment shall be effected by wire transfer of immediately available funds from Buyer to an account designated in writing by the Seller within five Business Days after the determination thereof.

(1) Buyer shall prepare a proposed allocation of the Purchase Price among the Assets in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code, which proposed allocation shall be delivered to Seller for review and comment within 30 days following the final determination of the Final Closing Statement (the "Proposed Allocation Statement"). Seller shall provide to Buyer in writing within ten days of the receipt of such Proposed Allocation Statement any objections thereto.

(2) If, within ten days following the receipt of the Proposed Allocation Statement, Seller does not dispute any items contained in the Proposed Allocation Statement, then the Proposed Allocation Statement shall be final and binding upon the parties (the "Final Allocation Determination"). In the event that Seller disputes any items contained in the Proposed Allocation Statement, such disputes shall be resolved in the following manner:

(A) Seller shall notify Buyer in writing (the "Notice of Allocation Disagreement") of such dispute within seven days following Seller’s receipt of the Proposed Allocation Statement, which notice shall specify in reasonable detail the nature of the dispute, indicating those specific items that are in dispute (the "Seller Disputed Items"). To the extent that Seller provides a Notice of Allocation Disagreement within such 7-day period, all items that are not Seller Disputed Items shall be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes hereunder.

(B) During the 7-day period following Buyer’s receipt of a Notice of Allocation Disagreement, Seller and Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any Seller Disputed Items. If, at or before the end of such 7-day period, the parties have reached written agreement with respect to all matters covered by a Notice of Allocation Disagreement, the Proposed Allocation Statement shall be adjusted to reflect such written agreement and shall become the Final Allocation Determination.

(C) If, at the end of the 7-day period specified in subsection 3(c)(2)(B) above, Buyer and Seller shall have failed to reach a written agreement with respect to all or a portion of such Seller Disputed Items (those Seller Disputed Items that remain in dispute at the end of such period are the "Unresolved Allocation Changes"), then Buyer and Seller shall promptly refer only those Unresolved Allocation Changes to RSM McGladrey or its affiliates, or in the event such firm refuses or is unable to make a determination, a mutually agreeable firm to make a determination as to the subject matter of the Unresolved Allocation Changes. If Buyer and Seller fail to agree on a firm within 3 days after the end of the 7-day period specified in subsection 3(c)(2)(B) above, the firm shall be selected by the American Arbitration Association. The firm shall issue its written decision as promptly as practicable and in any event within 15 days following the submission of the Unresolved Allocation Changes to the firm for resolution, and such decision shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties and become the Final Allocation Determination. In the event Unresolved Allocation Changes are submitted to the firm for resolution as provided herein, the costs of engaging the firm shall be paid by Buyer and Seller equally.

(3) Buyer and Seller and their Affiliates shall file all Tax Returns (including, but not limited to, Internal Revenue Service Form 8594) in all respects and for all purposes consistent with such Final Allocation Determination. Seller shall use commercially reasonably efforts to deliver to Buyer all such documents and other information as Buyer may reasonably request in order to prepare the Proposed Allocation Statement contemplated by subsection 3(c)(1) above and any Tax Returns for taxable periods beginning on or after the Closing Date. No party shall take any position (whether in audits, Tax Returns or otherwise) which is inconsistent with such Final Allocation Determination unless required to do so by applicable Legal Requirement.

(d) Proration; Other Closing Date Adjustments.

(1) Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, it is the intention of the parties that the Branches will be operated for Seller’s account until 11:59 p.m., Central Time, on the Closing Date, and that the Branches will be operated for Buyer’s account and Buyer will hold the Assets and assume the Liabilities for its own account after the Closing Date. Thus, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, items of income and expense, as defined in subparagraph (2) below, shall be prorated as of 11:59 p.m., Central Time, on the Closing Date, and settled between Seller and Buyer on the Closing Date, whether or not such adjustment would normally be made as of such time. Items of proration will be handled at Closing as an adjustment to the Purchase Price unless otherwise agreed by the parties hereto.

(2) For purposes of this Agreement, items of income and expense subject to proration and other adjustments (and, in the case of Prepaid Expenses, eligible to be purchased by Buyer) shall include, but are not limited to: (i) personal and real property Taxes and assessments (to be settled at Closing by credit given at Closing pursuant to the following sentence); (ii) other prepaid expenses and items and accrued but unpaid liabilities, as of the close of business on the Closing Date, including rents, utilities and service contract obligations; and (iii) safe deposit rental payments previously received by Seller; provided, however, that (since such prepayment cannot benefit Buyer) Prepaid Expenses shall not include any prepaid federal deposit insurance premium or general liability or property insurance premiums paid by Seller. Real property taxes shall be settled by a credit given to Buyer as part of the Final Closing Statement calculations for (i) all 2009 real estate taxes payable in 2010 (or, if 2009 real estate taxes are not known at the Closing Date, for an estimate conclusively based on 110% of the prior year's tax), plus (ii) a prorated amount for 2010 taxes payable in 2011 calculated at 110% of the last available real estate taxes.

4. Payment of the Purchase Price.

(a) At Closing, (1) if the Estimated Payment Amount as set forth on the Draft Closing Statement is a positive amount, Seller shall pay to Buyer an amount in dollars equal to such positive amount, or (2) if the Estimated Payment Amount as set forth on the Draft Closing Statement is a negative amount, Buyer shall pay to Seller an amount in 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 (to such account as the appropriate party shall advise not later than two Business Days prior to the Closing Date) on or before 12:00 noon Eastern Time on the Closing Date.

(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.

5. Closing and Closing Date.

(a) The consummation of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement (the "Closing") will take place as soon as reasonably practicable, following the satisfaction, or where legally permitted, the waiver of conditions set forth in Section 6, the receipt by Seller of the Required Consents, the receipt by Buyer of all Regulatory Approvals, and expiration of applicable statutory waiting periods, on such date as may be mutually agreed to by the Parties; provided, however, that if the Parties do not so agree, then the Closing shall be held on the first Friday that is at least two Business Days following that date of satisfaction or waiver of such conditions (the date so fixed, the "Closing Date").

(b) The Closing will be held remotely via the electronic exchange of documents and signatures on the Closing Date. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (i) all proceedings at the Closing shall be deemed to be taken and all documents and funds to be delivered by all parties at the Closing shall be deemed to have been taken and delivered simultaneously, and no proceedings shall be deemed taken or any documents or funds delivered until all have been taken and delivered (or waived where legally permitted), and (ii) the Closing shall be deemed to have taken place at the executive offices of Buyer located in Jasper, Indiana.

(c) Unless the parties agree pursuant to Section 14(b) that the conversion of the data processing with respect to the Branches and the Assets and Liabilities will be performed other than on the weekend immediately following the Closing Date, the Closing Date shall be on a Friday and such conversion will be completed prior to the opening of business on the following Monday.

Promptly following the date hereof, the parties will agree on a schedule and process for providing the relevant information relating to loans ("Additional Loan Information") originated at the Branches after January 11, 2010, through the fifth Business Day prior to the Closing Date (with Additional Loan Information provided to Buyer not less frequently than monthly and the final delivery of Additional Loan Information, if any, not later than the second Business Day prior to the Closing Date) that Buyer deems reasonably necessary to enable it to determine whether to designate such loans as "Additional Loans." The parties will further agree on a schedule for Buyer to designate Loans as "Additional Loans," which shall occur not later than the fifth Business Day following the date that the applicable Additional Loan Information was provided to Buyer and, with respect to any Additional Loan Information provided within five Business Days of the Closing Date, not later than the close of business on the day preceding the Closing Date.

(i) Dealings with Creditors. Seller shall not use the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to delay, hinder or defraud their respective creditors or any other Person.

(j) Prosecution and Defense of Newburgh Lien Litigation. If, on the third anniversary of the date of this Agreement, the litigation that relates to the attempted enforcement by the purported lien holder of the Newburgh Lien has remained dormant or otherwise has not then been dismissed and the Newburgh Lien entirely released as a matter of record, then Seller shall (a) promptly at Seller's expense take all actions necessary to seek dismissal of such litigation and/or judgment in its favor in the litigation such that the Newburgh Lien may be cleared of record from the title for the Newburgh Branch Premises, or (b) deposit into an escrow account with Buyer the entire amount claimed by the lien holder to secure Seller's indemnification obligations with respect to such Newburgh Lien.

14. Regulatory Compliance, Conversion and Transition Matters.

(a) Regulatory Filings by Buyer and Approvals. As promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement, and assuming the full and timely cooperation and assistance of Seller, Buyer shall prepare, submit and/or file all applications, filings, notices, consents, permits or registrations required to obtain the Regulatory Approvals. Buyer shall use reasonable efforts to obtain each such Regulatory Approval as promptly as practicable. Seller and Buyer will use reasonable efforts to cooperate in connection therewith (including the furnishing of any information which may be required to obtain the Regulatory Approvals). Each party will provide the other with copies of any applications and all correspondence relating thereto prior to filing, other than material filed in connection therewith under a claim of confidentiality. If any Governmental Entity shall require the modification of any of the terms and provisions of this Agreement as a condition to granting any Regulatory Approval, the parties hereto will negotiate in good faith to seek a mutually agreeable adjustment to the terms of the transaction contemplated hereby as promptly as practicable.

(b) Transitional Arrangements. Seller and Buyer agree to cooperate and to proceed as follows to effect the transfer of account record responsibility for the Branches:

(1) As soon as practicable after the execution of this Agreement by the parties hereto, but in no event later than 10 Business Days after the date of this Agreement, Seller will meet with Buyer to investigate, confirm and agree upon mutually acceptable transaction settlement procedures and specifications, files, deliverables, procedures and schedules, for the transfer of account record responsibility for the Branches. Not later than 15 Business Days after the date of this Agreement, Seller shall deliver to Buyer the specifications and conversion sample files to consist of live data of all accounts.

(2) After Buyer has tested and confirmed the conversion sample files, Seller shall provide Buyer with account information, as of the most recent practicable date, including complete name and address, account master file, ATM account number information, applicable transaction and stop/hold/caution information, account-to-account relationship information and any other related information with respect to the Deposit Liabilities. Seller shall, upon reasonable request, but not later than 30 days after such request subject to the availability of Seller’s data processing vendor, provide to Buyer an updated version of such records.

(3) Seller shall provide Buyer after close of business on the Closing Date, a final conversion file containing all information as of close of business on the Closing Date.

(1) Buyer shall, jointly with Seller, as soon as practicable after public announcement of this Agreement and meetings with Seller Branch employees, prepare and mail to each holder of Deposit Liabilities, a letter, in the form and substance reasonably satisfactory to each of the parties, informing such depositor of the nature of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and the continuing availability of services to be provided by Buyer on and after the Closing Date.

(2) Each of Seller and Buyer shall provide, or join in providing where appropriate, all notices to customers of the Branches and other Persons that Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, is required to give under Legal Requirement or the terms of any other agreement between Seller and any customer in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. A party required to send or publish any notice or communication pursuant to this Section 14(c)(2) shall furnish to the other party a copy of the proposed form of such notice or communication at least five Business Days in advance of the 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 Legal Requirement. All costs and expenses of any notice or communication sent or published by Buyer 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 Buyer. As soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within 30 calendar days after the date hereof, Seller shall provide to Buyer a report of the names and addresses of the owners of the Deposit Liabilities, and the lessees of the safe deposit boxes as of the date hereof in connection with the mailing of such materials. No communications by Buyer, and no communications by Seller outside the ordinary course of business, to any such owners, borrowers or lessees shall be made prior to the Closing Date except as provided in this Agreement or otherwise agreed to by the parties.

(3) Following the giving of any notice described in paragraph (1) above, Buyer 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 Buyer’s pending assumption of liability for the Deposit Liabilities and to comply with applicable Legal Requirements.

(d) Contracts with Depositors. Buyer will timely perform, honor, and assume all contractual deposit agreements and relationships between Seller and Seller’s depositors with regard to the Deposit Liabilities after the Closing and will do so in compliance with applicable Legal Requirements. Buyer and Seller shall make appropriate arrangements with each other to provide for settlement by Buyer of checks, deposits, debits, returns, and other items that are presented to Seller after the Closing for the Deposit Liabilities. On the third Business Day prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall provide Buyer with a list of Deposit Liabilities, corresponding interest rates paid on the Deposit Liabilities and other information necessary for Buyer to verify the rates paid by Seller on Deposit Liabilities.

(e) Direct Deposits. Seller will use its reasonable efforts to transfer to Buyer on the Closing Date all of those automated clearing house ("ACH") and FedWire direct deposit arrangements related (by agreement or other standing arrangement) to the Deposit Liabilities. For a period of six months following the Closing Date, in the case of ACH direct deposits to accounts containing Deposit Liabilities (the final Business Day of such period being the "ACH Direct Deposit Cut-Off Date"), Seller shall transfer to Buyer all received ACH Direct Deposits each Business Day in accordance with Seller’s customary procedures. Buyer will send NACHA compliant Notice of Change on each transfer received. On each Business Day, for a period of 90 calendar days following the Closing Date (the final Business Day of such period being the "FedWire Direct Deposit Cut-Off Date"), FedWire direct deposits received by Seller shall be returned (as soon as is practicable after receipt) to the originator with an indication of Buyer’s correct Wire Room contact information and an instruction that such wire should be sent to Buyer. Compensation for ACH direct deposits or FedWire direct deposits not forwarded to Buyer 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 respective ACH Direct Deposit Cut-Off Date or FedWire Direct Deposit Cut-Off Date, Seller may discontinue accepting and forwarding ACH and FedWire entries and funds and return such direct deposits to the originators marked "Account Sold." Seller and its Affiliates shall not be liable for any overdrafts that may thereby be created. Buyer 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 direct deposit arrangements related to the Branches. At the time of the ACH Direct Deposit Cut-Off Date, Buyer will provide ACH originators with account numbers relating to the Deposit Liabilities.

(f) Direct Debits. After the notice provided in Section 14(c)(1), Buyer shall send appropriate notice to all customers having accounts constituting Deposit Liabilities, the terms of which provide for direct debit of such accounts by third parties, instructing such customers concerning the transfer of customer direct debit authorizations from Seller to Buyer. Such notice shall be in a form reasonably agreed to by the parties hereto. For a period of six months following the Closing, Seller shall transfer to Buyer all received direct debits on accounts constituting Deposit Liabilities each Business Day in accordance with Seller’s customary procedures. Buyer will send NACHA compliant Notice of Change on each direct debit received. Thereafter, Seller may discontinue forwarding such entries and return them to the originators marked "Account Sold."

On the Closing Date, Buyer shall provide ACH originators of such Direct Debits with account numbers relating to the Deposit Liabilities.

(g) Interest Reporting and Withholding.

(1) Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties, Seller will report to applicable taxing authorities and holders of Deposit Liabilities, with respect to the period from January 1 of the year in which the Closing occurs through the Closing Date, all interest (including dividends and other distributions with respect to money market accounts) credited to, withheld from and any early withdrawal penalties imposed upon the Deposit Liabilities. Buyer will report to the applicable taxing authorities and holders of Deposit Liabilities, with respect to all periods from the day after the Closing Date, all such interest credited to, withheld from and any early withdrawal penalties imposed upon the Deposit Liabilities. Any amounts required by any Governmental Entity to be withheld from any of the Deposit Liabilities through the Closing Date will be withheld by Seller in accordance with Legal Requirements or appropriate notice from any Governmental Entity and will be remitted by Seller to the appropriate agency on or prior to the applicable due date. Any such withholding required to be made subsequent to the Closing Date will be withheld by Buyer in accordance with Legal Requirements or appropriate notice from any Governmental Entity and will be remitted by Buyer to the appropriate agency on or prior to the applicable due date.

(2) Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, Seller shall be responsible for delivering to payees all IRS notices with respect to information reporting and Tax identification numbers required to be delivered through the Closing Date with respect to the Deposit Liabilities, and Buyer shall be responsible for delivering to payees all such notices required to be delivered following the Closing Date with respect to the Deposit Liabilities.

(3) Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, Seller will timely make all required reports to applicable taxing authorities and to obligors on Loans, with respect to the period from January 1 of the year in which the Closing occurs through the Closing Date concerning all interest and points received by Seller, and Buyer will timely make all required reports to applicable taxing authorities and to obligors on Loans, with respect to all periods from the day after the Closing Date concerning all such interest and points received.

(h) Negotiable Instruments. Seller will remove any supply of Seller’s money orders, official checks, gift checks, travelers’ checks or any other negotiable instruments located at each of the Branches on the Closing Date.

(i) ATM/Debit Cards; POS Cards. Subject to the availability of Seller’s data processing vendor, Seller will provide Buyer with a list of ATM access/debit cards and Point-of-Sale ("POS") cards issued by Seller to depositors of any Deposit Liabilities, and a record thereof in a format reasonably agreed to by the parties containing all addresses therefor, as soon as practicable and in no event later than 30 calendar days after the date of this Agreement. At or promptly after the Closing, Seller will provide Buyer with a revised record through the Closing. In instances where a depositor of a Deposit Liability made an assertion of error regarding an account pursuant to the Electronic Funds Transfer Act and Federal Reserve Board Regulation E, and Seller, prior to the Closing, recredited the disputed amount to the relevant account during the conduct of the error investigation, Buyer agrees to comply with a written request from Seller to debit such account in a stated amount and remit such amount to Seller, to the extent of the balance of funds available in the accounts. Seller agrees to indemnify Buyer for any Losses that Buyer may incur as a result of complying with such request from Seller. Buyer shall reissue ATM access/debit cards to depositors of any Deposit Liabilities not earlier than 45 calendar days nor later than 15 calendar days prior to the Closing Date, which cards shall be effective as of the day following the Closing Date. Buyer and Seller agree to settle any and all ATM transactions and POS transactions effected on or before the Closing Date, but processed after the Closing Date, as soon as practicable following the processing thereof.

(j) Data Processing Agreement and Hardware. Subject to the availability of Seller’s data processing vendor, Seller will provide Buyer in advance of the Closing upon reasonable prior notice, during normal hours of operations, reasonable access to equipment and records in order to effectuate a conversion of the Deposit Liabilities and the Loans from Seller to Buyer as of the Closing Date. Each party shall be responsible for its respective costs and expenses of such inspection or conversion. The parties agree to use reasonable efforts to comply with the purpose and intent of this Section 14(j) prior to and after the Closing.

(k) Loan Collections. Buyer and Seller shall make appropriate arrangements with each other to provide for settlement by the party receiving payments of all payments of any kind made in relation to the Loans which are presented to a party after the Closing and with regard to loans which are owned by the other party. These arrangements shall be performed by both parties in good faith prior to and after the Closing.

(l) Access to Properties, Books and Records; Continuing Credit Review and Analysis. Until the Closing, Seller shall upon reasonable prior written notice and during regular business hours cooperate with Buyer to provide Buyer and its officers and authorized agents and representatives access to the properties (including visiting the Branches for integration planning purposes), books, records, files (including all of the Loan Files), documents and other information relating to the Assets and Liabilities as Buyer may reasonably request. In particular, Seller shall cooperate with Buyer in assisting Buyer in analyzing and learning more concerning the structure and ongoing status of specified credits that Buyer has identified to Seller as credits of concern as a result of its due diligence reviews of Seller's loans and otherwise monitoring developments in the credit quality of the loans of the Branches. In addition, Buyer and Seller each will identify to the other, within ten calendar days after the date hereof, a selected group of their respective salaried personnel that shall constitute a "transition group" and will be available to Seller and Buyer, respectively, at reasonable times (limited to normal operating hours) to provide information and assistance in connection with Buyer’s investigation of matters relating to the Assets and Liabilities. Such transition group will also work cooperatively to identify and resolve issues arising from any commingling of Seller’s records with respect to the Branches with Seller’s records for its other branches and operations not subject to this Agreement. Seller shall furnish Buyer with such additional financial and operating data and other information about Seller’s business operations at the Branches as the Seller determines may be reasonably necessary for the orderly transfer of the business operations of the Branches, the Assets and the Assumed Liabilities.

(m) Employees and Employee Benefits.

(1) Buyer may hire (on an at-will basis) certain staff at the Branches that are currently employed by Seller on a post-Closing basis. Buyer shall make a written offer of employment to each employee of Seller selected by Buyer to be an employee of Buyer following the Closing Date. Each offer of employment shall be effective on the Closing Date. No later than 45 days following the date of this Agreement, (i) Buyer shall communicate the offers of employment consistent with the terms of this Section 14(m) to those employees to whom it determines to extend an offer and (ii) Buyer shall provide Seller with a written list of those employees to whom Buyer will make an offer of employment, and Seller shall take such action as is necessary to terminate such employees not included on such list or transfer their employment within Seller and its Affiliates, in both cases effective as of the Closing Date. Each employee who accepts Buyer’s offer of employment (regardless of whether they are active employees or on leave of absence status as of the Closing Date) shall be a "Hired Employee" for purposes of this Agreement, effective upon the Closing Date and this date shall be referred to as the Hired Employee’s "Transfer Date." Subject to applicable Legal Requirements, on and after the Closing Date, the Hired Employees shall become employees of Buyer, and Buyer shall have the right to dismiss any or all Hired Employees at any time, with or without cause, and to change the terms and conditions of their employment (including compensation and employee benefits provided to them). Each employee who is not offered employment by Buyer, or who fails to accept Buyer’s offer of employment shall be an "Excluded Employee" for purposes of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall give any employee any rights to claim status as a third party beneficiary of this Agreement.

(2) Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, Seller shall pay, discharge, and be responsible for, and shall indemnify Buyer and its Affiliates for (i) all salary, wages (including, without limitation, payment for any and all accrued paid time off, vacation, sick time or personal days accrued by the Hired Employees as of the Transfer Date, which Seller agrees to pay to the Hired Employees pursuant to Seller’s Employee Benefit Plans and as required by any applicable Legal Requirement), bonuses, commissions and any other form of compensation (including, without limitation, any deferred compensation) arising out of the employment of the Hired Employees prior to the Transfer Date, and (ii) any employee benefits under the Seller’s Employee Benefit Plans arising out of Seller’s employment of the Hired Employees, including, without limitation, welfare benefits with respect to claims incurred prior to the Transfer Date but reported after the Transfer Date.

(3) Seller and the Employee Benefit Plans shall retain responsibility for all claims incurred by employees prior to the date they become Hired Employees.

(4) Seller shall be solely and fully responsible for the Excluded Employees in the transfer of Excluded Employees to other positions with Seller or in the termination of their employment with Seller. To the extent Seller is terminating any Excluded Employees, Seller shall be fully and completely responsible for said termination(s), paying those certain Excluded Employees all accrued wages, commissions, vacation pay and any other compensation due and owing, and providing notice of such Excluded Employees rights and obligations pursuant to COBRA. Seller shall be fully liable for any claims, demands, damages orders, awards and/or judgments arising out of or relating in any way to Seller’s treatment of and/or termination of Excluded Employees, including, but not limited to, any obligations which may arise under the Federal or any applicable state or local Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification ("WARN") law. As of the Transfer Date, Hired Employees shall become employees of Buyer, and Buyer shall have the right (subject to applicable Legal Requirements) to terminate any or all Hired Employees at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice, and to change the terms and conditions of their employment (including compensation and employment benefits provided to them) in Buyer’s sole discretion. To the extent Buyer terminates any Hired Employees on or after the Transfer Date, Buyer shall be fully and completely responsible for said termination(s), paying those certain Hired Employees all accrued wages, commissions, vacation pay and any other compensation due and owing since the Transfer Date, and providing notice of such Hired Employees rights and obligations pursuant to COBRA. Buyer shall be fully liable for any claims, demands, damages orders, awards and/or judgments arising out of or relating in any way to Buyer’s treatment of and/or termination of Hired Employees after the Transfer Date, including, but not limited to, any obligations which may arise under the WARN law.

(5) Pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(h)(4), Seller and Buyer agree that, on the Closing Date, each Hired Employee shall be treated as having a "separation from service" with Seller and Seller’s Affiliates for purposes of Section 409A of the Code and Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(h).

(6) It is understood and agreed that (i) Buyer’s employment of any Hired Employee as set forth in this Section 14(m) shall not constitute an employee benefit plan or a commitment, contract or understanding (express or implied) of an obligation on the part of Buyer to a post-Closing employment relationship of any fixed term or duration or upon any terms or conditions other than those that Buyer may establish pursuant to individual offers of employment, and (ii) employment offered by Buyer is "at will" and may be terminated by Buyer or by a Hired Employee at any time for any reason (subject to any written commitments to the contrary made by Buyer or a Hired Employee and subject to any Legal Requirement). Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to prevent or restrict in any way the right of Buyer to terminate, reassign, promote or demote any of the Hired Employees after the Closing Date or to change adversely or favorably the title, powers, duties, responsibilities, functions, locations, salaries, other compensation, or terms or conditions of employment of such Hired Employees. Nothing in this Agreement shall create any employee benefit plan or be construed as requiring any compensation or employee benefit plan, program or arrangement to be maintained by Buyer for any Hired Employee at, or for any specified period after, the Closing Date.

(7) Effective on the Closing Date, Seller shall release all Hired Employees from any covenants not to compete and any other restrictive employment covenants with Seller, Seller Affiliate and any other Affiliate of Seller, as applicable, insofar as such covenants would otherwise prevent such Hired Employees from becoming employed by Buyer, but shall not release such Hired Employees from any such covenants as to other competitors.

(n) Assumption of IRAs. Subject to Section 2(c) and Section 6(b)(5), Buyer agrees that after the Closing, it will perform all of the duties so delegated as successor custodian and comply with the terms of Seller’s agreement with the depositor of the ▇▇▇ affected thereby.

(o) Title Insurance. Prior to Closing, Seller shall obtain, at Buyer’s expense, including, without limitation, the expense of any and all title insurance premiums and the expense of incurred for the mere issuance of discretionary endorsements (except that Seller shall bear the expense of any search fees incurred in connection with obtaining the title commitments), (i) for the Newburgh Branch Premises, a title commitment issued by a title company or qualified law firm as determined by Buyer (a "Title Company"), naming Buyer as the proposed insured, wherein Title Company shall agree to issue or obtain an ALTA form of owner’s insurance policy of title insurance, and (ii) for the ▇▇▇▇▇ Road Branch leasehold interest, a title commitment issued by the Title Company naming Buyer as the proposed insured, wherein Title Company shall agree to issue or obtain an ALTA form of leasehold policy of title insurance (each such commitment, a "Title Commitment"). Each Title Commitment shall include Title Company’s requirements to issue a title policy with respect to the Premises of each Branch, which requirements shall be satisfied by Seller on or before the Closing Date. Buyer shall also be entitled to order an ALTA survey at Buyer's expense for the Premises at each Branch location. If any of the following shall occur (collectively, a "Title Objection"): (i) any Title Commitment or other evidence of title or search of the appropriate real estate records discloses that any party other than Seller or one of its Affiliates has title to the insured estate covered by the Title Commitment; or (ii) any title exception (other than a Permitted Lien) disclosed in Schedule B to any Title Commitment or any survey that discloses any matter that materially and adversely affects Buyer’s use of the Premises for the purpose of operating the relevant Branch (including without limitation rights of adequate access and parking), then, in each such case, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cure each such Title Objection and take all commercially reasonable steps required by Title Company to eliminate each such Title Objection as an exception to the applicable Title Commitment. Any Title Objection that Title Company is willing to insure over on terms reasonably acceptable to Buyer is herein referred to as an "Insured Exception." The incremental increase in the cost of the premiums as a result of any Insured Exceptions (other than any Insured Exceptions resulting from Buyer’s failure to obtain a survey of the Premises) relative to what Title Company would otherwise charge for the title insurance shall be borne by Seller.

(p) Overdrafts. Prior to the Closing, Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer and to identify for Buyer those deposit accounts for which provisional credit has been given and that contain uncollected funds.

15. Name Change, etc. Immediately after the Closing (but under no circumstances later than the next Business Day immediately following the Closing), Buyer will (a) change the name and logo on all documents and facilities relating to the Assets and the Liabilities to Buyer’s or one of its division’s name and logo, (b) notify all Persons whose Loans, Deposit Liabilities 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 the FDIC and any other regulatory authorities required as a result of the consummation of such transactions. Seller shall cooperate with any commercially reasonable request of Buyer directed to accomplish the removal of Seller’s signage by Buyer and the installation of Buyer’s signage by Buyer at the Branches; provided, however, that (i) all such costs and expenses of removals and all such costs and expenses of installations shall be at the expense of Buyer, (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, (iii) such installed signage shall comply with the any branch lease and all applicable zoning and permitting laws and regulations, and (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 Buyer signage unreadable at all times prior to the Closing, but such cover shall display the name and/or logo of Seller (or of Seller or its other Affiliates) in a manner reasonably acceptable to Seller.

16. Contracts. To the extent that the assignment of any of the Assigned Contracts, commitments or other assets included in the Assets requires the consent of any other party thereto, neither this Agreement nor any action taken pursuant to its provisions shall constitute an assignment or an agreement to assign any Assigned Contract, commitment or other asset if such assignment or agreement to assign would constitute a breach thereof. Seller shall, prior to the Closing, use reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of any party to each such Assigned Contract, commitment or other asset to its assignment to Buyer in all cases where such consent is necessary. Buyer agrees to provide reasonable cooperation in connection therewith (including, by providing relevant information requested by the applicable lessors or other third parties regarding Buyer’s financial capability to fulfill the obligations of the Assigned Contracts, but such cooperation by Buyer shall not include Buyer agreeing to any amendment to any Assigned Contract, other than to reflect the change from Seller to Buyer). If any such consent is not obtained, Seller shall cooperate with Buyer in any lawful and reasonable arrangement designed to provide to Buyer the benefits under any such Assigned Contract, commitment or other asset. Any costs incurred in obtaining any consents or assignments of such Assigned Contracts, commitments or other assets shall be borne by Seller.

17. Indemnification.

(a) Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants.

(2) All of the covenants or other agreements of the parties contained in this Agreement shall survive until fully performed or fulfilled, unless and to the extent that non-compliance with such covenants or agreements is (i) waived in writing by the party entitled to such performance, or (ii) otherwise specifically permitted by this Agreement.

(b) Indemnification by Seller. Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its directors, officers, directors, agents and Affiliates from and against any and all Losses that they may suffer, incur or sustain arising out of or in connection with:

(2) In the event that any Legal Proceedings shall be instituted or that any Third Party Claim is asserted, the Indemnified Party shall as soon as reasonably practicable cause written notice of the assertion of any Third Party Claim of which it has Knowledge, which is covered by this Section 17 to be forwarded to the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder against any Losses that may result from such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its sole expense, to be represented by counsel and to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Third Party Claim, which relates to any Losses for which indemnification is sought hereunder. If the Indemnifying Party elects to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Third Party Claim, which relates to any Losses for which indemnification is sought hereunder, it shall within ten calendar days (or sooner, if the nature of the Third Party Claim so requires) of receipt of notice of the Third Party Claim notify the Indemnified Party of its intent to do so. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Third Party Claim, which relates to any Losses for which indemnification is sought hereunder, or fails to notify the Indemnified Party of its election within the timeframe provided for herein, the Indemnified Party may then, but only then, defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for the reasonable actual expenses of defending such Third Party Claim upon submission of periodic bills. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of the Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may participate, at its own expense, in the defense of such Third Party Claim; provided, that such Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in any such defense with separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party if (i) so requested by the Indemnifying Party to participate, (ii) upon the reasonable advice of counsel to the Indemnified Party a conflict or potential conflict exists between the interests of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party that would make such separate representation advisable, (iii) such claim is based upon an investigation, inquiry, or other proceeding by a governmental body, or (iv) Buyer reasonably anticipates the Third Party Claim to have a Material Adverse Effect upon either the Buyer’s use of the Assets, Liabilities and/or the conduct or reputation of the Buyer and its business after the Closing Date. The parties hereto agree to cooperate fully with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such Third Party Claim.

(3) After any final judgment or award shall have been rendered by a governmental body of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of the time in which to appeal therefrom, or a settlement shall have been consummated, or the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall have arrived at a mutually binding agreement with respect to a Third Party Claim hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall forward to the Indemnifying Party notice of any sums due and owing (including any bills, records or other documentation supporting such sums) by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such matter and the Indemnifying Party shall be required to pay all of the sums so due and owing to the Indemnified Party by wire transfer of immediately available funds within five Business Days after the date of such notice.

(4) The failure of the Indemnified Party to give reasonably prompt notice of any Third Party Claim shall not release, waive or otherwise affect the Indemnifying Party’s obligations with respect thereto except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party can demonstrate actual Loss and prejudice as a result of such failure or delay.

(e) Limitations on Indemnification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no liability for Seller or Buyer under this Section 17, unless the amount of Losses incurred by an Indemnified Party exceeds $50,000 in the aggregate (the "Deductible Amount"). Once exceeded, the Deductible Amount is recoverable along with all other amounts for damages by an Indemnified Party. An Indemnifying Parties’ liability to an Indemnified Party under this Section 17 shall be limited to the aggregate amount of $2,500,000 (the "Indemnification Cap"). Notwithstanding the foregoing under this Section 17(e), no Deductible Amount will be required to be met and there will be no Indemnification Cap for any Losses related to Fundamental Representations or the representations and warranties in Sections 9(e), 9(r) or 9(s), intentional misrepresentation, fraud or willful misconduct.

18. Taxes. Seller shall be solely responsible for all of Seller’s federal, foreign, state and local income, sales, use, excise and other Taxes applicable to its business and to the Assets and all Taxes resulting or arising from its payroll arising prior to the Closing with such Taxes computed as if such taxable period ended as of the close of business on the Closing Date. Except as set forth in Section 14(o) and Section 29, any filing, bulk sale, recordation, or similar Taxes, which are payable or arise as a result of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be borne by the Buyer, on the one hand, and by Seller on the other, equally. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) general real estate Taxes and installments of special assessments due and payable with respect to the Branches in the calendar year 2010 (for 2009) and all prior years will be paid by Seller, and (b) general real estate Taxes and installments of special assessments due and payable in the calendar year 2011 (for 2010) shall be allocated between Seller and Buyer as of the Closing Date where Seller’s share shall be calculated based on a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in 2010 prior to Closing and the denominator is 365; and Seller's obligations to pay such Taxes and assessments shall be conclusively settled and satisfied on the Closing Date through the crediting of such amounts or estimates as provided by Section 3(d)(2). Solely for purposes of this Section 18, real estate Taxes and installments of special assessments shall be deemed to be "due and payable" in the first calendar year in which such payment can be made without incurring interest or penalties for late payment.

19. No Partnership or Joint Venture. No activity of Buyer or Seller before, on or after the Closing shall state or imply that Seller and Buyer are in any way involved as partners, joint venturers or otherwise.

20. Further Assurances. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, Seller shall assist Buyer in the ordinary transition of the operations of the Branches and, from time to time, Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, shall cause to be executed and delivered to the other party all such other instruments and shall take or cause to be taken such further or other action as may reasonably and in good faith be deemed by the other party to be necessary or desirable in order to further assure the performance by Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, of any of their respective obligations under this Agreement.

21. Amendment; Waiver. The terms, provisions, and conditions of this Agreement may not be changed, modified or amended in any manner except in a writing executed by both parties. The waiver of any breach of any provision of this Agreement by any party hereto shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach of this Agreement and no such waiver shall be effective unless in writing signed by the party granting such waiver.

22. Termination of Agreement. This Agreement may be terminated, and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be abandoned, at any time before the Closing as follows:

(a) By mutual written consent of Seller and Buyer;

(b) By either Seller or Buyer in the event of a Legal Proceeding, which would permit the terminating party not to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby under the standard set forth in Section 7(e) or 8(e), as applicable;

(c) By either Seller or Buyer (provided that the terminating party is not then in breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained herein) in the event of a breach by the other of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, which is not cured or cannot be cured within 30 days after written notice of such breach has been delivered to the breaching party and which, in the case of a breach of representation or warranty, would if occurring or continuing on the Closing Date, permit the terminating party not to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby under the standard set forth in Section 7(c) or 8(c), as applicable; provided, that termination pursuant to this Section 22(c) shall not relieve the breaching party of liability for Losses arising out of or related to such breach; or

(d) By either Seller or Buyer, if the Closing does not occur on or before the date that is the six-month anniversary of the date of this Agreement, unless the parties mutually agree in writing that it would be reasonable to extend such date for an additional period; provided however, that a party shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this subsection if the failure of the Closing to occur by such date shall be due to the failure of the party seeking to terminate this Agreement to perform or observe the covenants or agreements of such party set forth herein;

(e) By Buyer or Seller (1) immediately upon receipt of notice that any Regulatory Approval has been denied; or (2) if Buyer has been requested by any Regulatory Authority to withdraw any regulatory application that is required for the transactions contemplated hereby to be consummated; provided, however, that Buyer or Seller shall have no right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 22(e) if such request for withdrawal is due to such party’s failure to perform the covenants and agreements of such party set forth herein;

(f) By Buyer, if Seller shall have breached its obligations under Section 35;

(g) By Buyer, if the mortgagee and/or landlord with respect to the ▇▇▇▇▇ Road Branch have refused to deliver without cost to Buyer any document required to be delivered to Buyer at the Closing in respect of the ▇▇▇▇▇ Road Branch;

(h) By Buyer, if the Premises of either of the Branches shall have been materially damaged by fire or casualty prior to the Closing Date;

(i) By Buyer, if an Insolvency Proceeding shall have been commenced with respect to Seller. Seller shall provide Buyer with advance written notice in the event Seller intends to commence an Insolvency Proceeding and shall provide Buyer with written notice as soon as Seller learns of any third party’s intention to do so;

(j) By Buyer, if there shall have occurred a Material Adverse Effect after the date of this Agreement.

23. Responsibilities Upon Termination. Each party’s right of termination under Section 22 is in addition to any other rights it may have under this Agreement or otherwise. Upon termination of this Agreement, each party shall bear its own costs and expenses, and none of the parties hereto shall have any liability or further obligation hereunder to any other party, except for the obligations in Sections 34 and 35, which shall continue to survive and except that nothing herein will relieve or release any party from liability at law or in equity (including but not limited to the right of Buyer to seek specific performance under Section 30) and damages that flow therefrom for any breach of this Agreement or from any fraud, or willful misconduct.

24. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including all exhibits, schedules, and annexes hereof, including the definitions included in Annex I hereto which is incorporated herein by reference, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof; provided, however, that the terms of any confidentiality agreement between the parties hereto previously entered into, to the extent not inconsistent with any provisions of this Agreement, shall continue to apply, except that, upon consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, Buyer’s confidentiality obligation under such confidentiality agreement shall terminate with respect to that portion of the confidential information relating to the Branches, Assets and Liabilities.

26. Governing Law; Forum and Consent to Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Indiana. Any claim or action brought under or based on this Agreement shall be brought in any state court in ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ County, Indiana, or Vanderburgh County, Indiana, or in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, and the parties hereby consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts and waive any defense of forum non conveniens.

27. Descriptive Headings. The descriptive headings in this Agreement are inserted for convenience and reference only and are not intended to be part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

28. Parties in Interest; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be binding upon and will inure solely to the benefit of the parties hereto, and to their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except as provided in Section 17, nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended, or shall be construed, to confer upon or give to any Person (other than the parties hereto and their successors and permitted assigns) any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement or any term, provision, condition, undertaking, warranty, representation, indemnity, covenant or agreement contained herein.

29. Expenses and Brokers. Except as otherwise expressly provided for herein, the parties hereto agree that each shall pay its respective costs and expenses of performance of and compliance with the covenants, conditions, and agreements to be performed or complied with by it hereunder, including investment banking, appraisal, accounting, consulting, professional, and legal fees, if any, whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated.

30. Specific Performance. Seller acknowledges that the Branches, and the customer relationships and goodwill established by Seller by doing business at the Branches, are unique assets and that the damages that would accrue to Buyer were Seller to fail without cause its obligations to sell the Branches and other Assets to Buyer would be substantial and not capable of calculation. Seller further acknowledges that Buyer would be irreparably damaged in the event that Seller did not perform its obligations under this Agreement in accordance with their specific terms and conditions. Seller therefore agrees that Buyer shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement by Seller, and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement (including the Seller's agreement to sell the Assets to Buyer subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement) in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which the parties are entitled at law or in equity or under this Agreement.

Neither Buyer nor Seller may assign any of their rights, liabilities or obligations under the Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party to this Agreement, provided that Buyer may assign its rights, liabilities and obligations under the Agreement to any one of its Affiliates. Any purported assignment in contravention of this Section 31 shall be void.

32. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. If Buyer and Seller so elect, this Agreement shall be deemed to be executed at such time as all parties exchange duly executed signature pages via facsimile or other electronic transmission, provided that each party shall thereafter mail to the other party an original of this Agreement bearing such party’s signature.

33. Press Releases. Prior to the Closing Date, neither Buyer, Seller nor any of their respective Affiliates shall directly or indirectly make or cause to be made any press release for general circulation, public announcement or disclosure or issue any notice or communication to employees (except as necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby) with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of the other party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Buyer and Seller each agree that, without the other party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), neither Buyer, Seller nor any of their respective Affiliates shall release or disclose any of the terms or conditions of the transactions contemplated herein to any other Person, except for employees and advisors as necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and except for any Persons as necessary to obtain consents or approvals, including, without limitation, Regulatory Approvals, contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party may make such public disclosure as, upon advice of its counsel and with as much prior notice to the other party as reasonably practicable, may be required by Legal Requirement or as necessary to obtain the Regulatory Approvals or to comply with the federal securities laws.

34. Confidentiality. All information disclosed or furnished by one party to another, whether orally or in writing, in connection with this Agreement and Buyer’s due diligence examination of Seller shall be deemed to be proprietary and confidential information of the disclosing party. The receiving party agrees not to disclose such information to any third party other than its representatives or employees or, upon the advice of its counsel, as may be required by Legal Requirements or as necessary to obtain consents and the Regulatory Approvals or to comply with the federal securities laws as necessary, or as agreed in writing by the parties or as otherwise contemplated in this Agreement or the exhibits, annexes and schedules hereto or as necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. In connection with any such disclosure, the disclosing party shall give the other party as much prior notice to the other party as is reasonably practicable. Regardless of whether Closing occurs hereunder, each party agrees that it shall not use or disclose, and shall cause its Affiliates not to use or disclose, the proprietary or confidential information of the other party for any purpose, including the solicitation of customers or employees or business of the other party, for a period of two years after the date hereof.

35. Exclusive Dealing.

(a) During the period from the date of this Agreement to the earlier of the Closing Date or the termination of this Agreement, neither Seller, nor any of its Affiliates or representatives shall take any action to, directly or indirectly, encourage, initiate, or otherwise engage in discussions or negotiations with, or provide any non-public information to, any Person other than Buyer and its Affiliates and representatives concerning an Alternative Transaction. Seller will promptly (but in no event later than 12 hours after receipt) communicate to Buyer the terms of any proposal or inquiry that it or any of its Affiliates or representatives may receive in writing in respect of any Alternative Transaction, or of any such negotiations or discussions being sought to be initiated with Seller, or any of its Affiliates or representatives and the identity of such third party initiating any such proposal, inquiry, discussion or negotiation. The obligations of Seller in this Section 35(a) shall not apply to any merger, acquisition, stock purchase or asset purchase or similar transaction that does not include the Assets or Liabilities, and Seller shall not have any restriction in pursuing such transaction(s) at any time.

(b) Seller shall ensure its respective representatives are aware of the restrictions described in this Section 35 as reasonably necessary to avoid violations thereof. It is understood that any violation of the restrictions set forth in this Section 35 by any representative of Seller shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 35 by Seller.

36. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, as applied to any party or circumstance, shall be judged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void, invalid or unenforceable, the same shall in no way effect any other provision of this Agreement, the application of any such provision and any other circumstances, or the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement.

37. Jury Waiver. SELLER AND BUYER DO HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ANY DOCUMENTS EXECUTED IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENT (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN) OR ANY ACTION OF EITHER PARTY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED IN ANY MANNER TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOANS, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE PROPERTY.
