(b) From time to time following the Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, execute, acknowledge and deliver all such further conveyances, notices, assumptions, releases and acquittances and such other instruments, and shall take such further actions, as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to assure to Purchaser and its respective successors or assigns, all of the properties, assets, rights, titles, interests, estates, remedies, powers and privileges intended to be conveyed to Purchaser under this Agreement and the Seller Documents and to assure to Seller and its Affiliates and their successors and assigns, the assumption of the liabilities and obligations intended to be assumed by Purchaser under this Agreement and the Seller Documents, and to otherwise make effective the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

(c) If the balance due on any Mortgage Loan, Beacon Loan or Lease to be purchased pursuant to this Agreement has been reduced by Seller as a result of a payment by check received prior to the Closing, which item is returned after the Closing, the purchase price applicable to the transferred loan or lease shall be correspondingly increased, and an amount in cash equal to such increase shall be paid by Purchaser to Seller promptly upon receipt of funds in the amount of such returned item.

(d) Nothing in this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be construed as an attempt or agreement to assign any Purchased Asset, including any Contract, Permit, certificate, approval, authorization or other right, which by its terms or by

Law is nonassignable without the consent of a third party or a Governmental Body or is cancelable by a third party in the event of an assignment or purported assignment (“Nonassignable Assets”) unless and until such consent shall have been obtained. Seller shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Purchaser at its request in endeavoring to obtain such consents promptly. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, in the event consents to the assignment thereof cannot be obtained, such Nonassignable Assets shall be held, as of and from the Closing Date, by either Seller or the applicable Subsidiary of Seller for the benefit of Purchaser and the covenants and obligations thereunder shall be performed by Purchaser in Seller’s or such Subsidiary’s name and all benefits and obligations existing thereunder shall be for Purchaser’s account. Seller shall take or cause to be taken at Purchaser’s expense such actions in its name or otherwise as Purchaser may reasonably request so as to provide Purchaser with the benefits of the Nonassignable Assets and to effect collection of money or other consideration that becomes due and payable under the Nonassignable Assets, and Seller or the applicable Subsidiary of Seller shall promptly pay over to Purchaser all money or other consideration received by it in respect of all Nonassignable Assets. As of and from the Closing Date, Seller on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries authorizes Purchaser, to the extent permitted by applicable Law and the terms of the Nonassignable Assets, at Purchaser’s expense, to perform all the obligations and receive all the benefits of Seller or its Subsidiaries under the Nonassignable Assets and appoints Purchaser its attorney-in-fact to act in its name on its behalf or in the name of the applicable Subsidiary of Seller and on such Subsidiary’s behalf with respect thereto.

(e) With respect to all Credit Protection Instruments, all coverage will continue to be the obligation of the current insurer after the Closing Date and for the duration of such insurance as provided under the terms of the policy or certificate to the extent permitted under such Credit Protection Instruments and without further cost to Seller. If Purchaser becomes the beneficiary of the Credit Protection Instruments, Seller and Purchaser agree to cooperate in good faith to develop a mutually satisfactory method by which the current insurer will make rebate payments to and satisfy claims of the holders of such Credit Protection Instruments after the Closing Date. The parties’ obligations in this Section 2.5 are subject to any restrictions contained in existing insurance contracts and to applicable Law.

2.6 Bulk Sales Laws. Purchaser hereby waives compliance by Seller and the Subsidiaries with the requirements and provisions of any “bulk-transfer” Laws of any jurisdiction that may otherwise be applicable with respect to the sale of any or all of the Purchased Assets to Purchaser; provided, that Seller agrees (i) to pay and discharge when due or to contest or litigate all claims of creditors which are asserted against Purchaser or the Purchased Assets by reason of such noncompliance, (ii) to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser from and against any and all such claims in the manner provided in Article X and (iii) to take promptly all necessary action to remove any Lien which is placed on the Purchased Assets by reason of such noncompliance. Any “bulk-transfer” Law that addresses Taxes shall be governed by Article XI and not by this Section 2.6.

2.7 Purchase Price Allocation. Not later than 90 days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Seller copies of Form 8594 and any required exhibits thereto (the “Asset Acquisition Statement”) allocating the Purchase Price among the Purchased Assets in accordance with Code Section 1060 and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (and any similar provision of state, local or foreign Law, as appropriate). Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Seller from time to time revised copies of the Asset Acquisition Statement (the “Revised Statements”) so as to report any matters on the Asset Acquisition Statement that need updating (including purchase price adjustments, if any). The Purchase Price paid by Purchaser for the Purchased Assets shall be allocated in accordance with the Asset Acquisition Statement or, if applicable, the last Revised Statement provided by Purchaser to Seller, and all income Tax Returns and reports filed by Purchaser and Seller, or their respective Affiliates shall be prepared consistently with such allocation. For purposes of this Section 2.7, the Purchased Assets include the covenant not to compete as set forth in Section 7.7.

2.8 Right to Control Payment. Purchaser shall have the right, but not the obligation, to make any payment due from Seller or the Subsidiaries with respect to any Excluded Liabilities which are not paid by Seller or the Subsidiaries within seven Business Days following written request for payment from Purchaser if Purchaser reasonably believes that such payment is necessary to protect Purchaser’s interest in the Purchased Assets, NetBank Finance and/or the Assumed Liabilities; provided, that if Seller or the Subsidiaries advise Purchaser in writing during such seven Business Day period that a good faith payment dispute exists or Seller or the Subsidiaries have valid defenses to non-payment with respect to such Excluded Liability, then Purchaser shall not have the right to pay such Excluded Liability. Seller and the Subsidiaries agree to reimburse Purchaser promptly and in any event within seven Business Days following written notice of such payment by Purchaser for the amount of any payment made by Purchaser pursuant to this Section 2.8.

2.9 Proration of Certain Expenses. Subject to Section 11.2 with respect to Taxes, all expenses and other payments in respect of all rents and other payments due under the Assumed Real Property Lease and any other leases constituting part of the Purchased Assets shall be prorated between Seller and the Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, as of the Closing Date. Seller shall be responsible for all rents (including any percentage rent, additional rent and any accrued tax and operating expense reimbursements and escalations), charges and other payments of any kind accruing during any period under the Assumed Real Property Lease or any such other leases up to and including the Closing Date; provided, that Seller reserves the right to dispute any Taxes owed with respect to any computer equipment leases assumed by Purchaser. Subject to any disputed Tax payments as set forth above, Purchaser shall be responsible for all such rents, charges and other payments accruing during any period under the Assumed Real Property Lease or any such other leases that are Purchased Assets after the Closing Date. Purchaser shall pay the full amount of any invoices received by it and shall submit a request for reimbursement to Seller for Seller’s share of such expenses and Seller shall pay the full amount of any invoices received by it and Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for Purchaser’s share of such expenses.

2.10 Receivables. Seller shall provide reasonable assistance to Purchaser in the collection of Receivables. If Seller or any of the Subsidiaries shall receive payment in respect of Receivables that are included in the Purchased Assets, then Seller shall promptly forward such payment to Purchaser.

(a) Purchaser agrees to pay in accordance with law and customary banking practices all properly drawn and presented checks, drafts and withdrawal orders presented to Purchaser by mail, through automated teller machines, over the counter or through the check clearing system or any other clearing system of the banking industry, by depositors of the accounts assumed, whether drawn on the checks, withdrawal or draft forms provided by Seller or by Purchaser, and in all other respects to discharge, in the usual course of the banking business, the duties and obligations of Seller with respect to the balances due and owing to the depositors whose accounts are assumed by Purchaser.

(b) If, after the Closing Date, any depositor, instead of accepting the obligation of Purchaser to pay the Deposit Liabilities assumed, shall demand payment from Seller for all or any part of any such assumed Deposit Liabilities, Seller shall not be liable or responsible for making such payment; provided, that, for purposes of maintaining relationships with Seller’s Former Depositors, if Seller shall pay the same pursuant to mutually agreed upon procedures, Purchaser agrees to reimburse Seller for any such payments, Seller shall not be deemed to have made any representations or warranties to Purchaser with respect to any such checks, drafts or withdrawal orders, and any such representations or warranties implied by law are hereby expressly disclaimed. Seller and Purchaser shall make arrangements to provide for the daily settlement with immediately available funds by Purchaser of checks, drafts, withdrawal

orders, returns and other items presented to and paid by Seller within 60 days after the Closing Date and drawn on or chargeable to accounts that have been assumed by Purchaser; provided, however, that Seller shall be held harmless and indemnified by Purchaser for acting in accordance with such arrangements.

Purchaser and Seller agree, at Seller’s cost and expense to notify Seller’s Former Depositors affected thereby, on or before the Closing, in a form and on a date mutually acceptable to Seller and Purchaser, of Purchaser’s assumption of Deposit Liabilities. In addition, Purchaser and Seller will jointly notify Seller’s affected depositors by letter of the pending assignment of Seller’s deposit accounts to Purchaser, which notice shall be at Seller’s cost and expense and in a form mutually agreeable to Seller and Purchaser. The Purchaser may provide, at its sole expense, such customers with notices of changes in terms and other information regarding the transaction contemplated hereby. The parties shall cooperate and coordinate such notices and shall, to the extent practicable, combine mailings and share the costs of any combined mailings.

(d) Purchaser agrees to pay promptly to Seller an amount equivalent to the amount of any checks, drafts or withdrawal orders credited to assumed Deposit Liabilities as of the Closing that are returned to Seller after the Closing.

(e) On and after the Deposit Conversion Date, Purchaser will assume and discharge Seller’s duties and obligations in accordance with the terms and conditions and Laws, rules and regulations that apply to the certificates, accounts and other Deposit Liabilities assumed pursuant to this Agreement at such Closing.

(f) On and after the Deposit Conversion Date, Purchaser will maintain and safeguard in accordance with applicable Law and sound banking practices, all account documents, deposit contracts, signature cards, deposit slips, canceled items and other records related to the Deposit Liabilities assumed under this Agreement, subject to Seller’s right of access to such records as provided in this Agreement.

(g) Seller will be entitled to impose normal fees and service charges on a per item basis through Closing, but Seller will not impose periodic fees or blanket charges in connection therewith.

(h) After the Closing, Purchaser shall collect from Seller’s Former Depositors amounts equal to any debit card chargebacks connected with a Deposit Liability, and any Visa, MasterCard or other debit card chargebacks under the MasterCard and Visa Merchant Agreements or other chargeback agreements between Seller and Seller’s Former Depositors or amounts equal to any deposit items returned to Seller after the Closing which were honored by Seller prior to the Closing and remit such amounts so collected to Seller. Purchaser agrees to immediately remit to Seller any funds held in the Depositor’s related transferred account of Seller’s Former Depositor when the Purchaser receives such notice from Seller, up to the amount of the charged back or returned item that had been previously credited by Seller, if such funds are available at the time of notification by Seller to Purchaser of the charged back or returned item. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall have not duty to remit funds for any item or charge that has been improperly returned or charged to Seller.

(i) Any cash items paid by Seller and not cleared prior to the Closing Date shall be the responsibility of Seller.

Purchaser and Seller agree that the Holdback Amount is part of the consideration paid to Seller and the obligation to pay the Holdback Amount to Seller is absolute and unconditional, subject only to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The remaining Indemnification Holdback Amount shall be released to Seller within five Business Days following the third anniversary of the Closing by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account or accounts of Seller as Seller specifies in writing to Purchaser in the manner specified herein for the delivery of notices; provided, that if Purchaser has submitted a notice for indemnification on or prior to the third anniversary of the Closing and such indemnification claim is not finally determined until after the third anniversary of the Closing, then the Indemnification Holdback Amount shall remain subject to indemnification claim and any remaining portion of the Indemnification Holdback Amount shall not be released to Seller until after such indemnification claim shall have been finally determined and any indemnification payments to Purchaser have been made.

As of their respective dates, the Financial Statements did not, and any financial statements subsequent to the date hereof will not, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading.

(d) Seller has provided to Purchaser copies of all issued auditors’ reports, letters to management regarding accounting practices and systems of internal control, and responses to such letters from management, in each case to the extent relating to the Purchased Assets and NetBank Finance and the operation thereof, whether the same are issued to a Seller or any of its Affiliates.

(e) Except as contemplated by this Agreement, since April 30, 2007, there has been no change in the condition (financial or otherwise), business, operations, assets or liabilities of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries that has had, or could reasonably be expected to have either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

(d) With respect to the benefit plans of Purchaser in which any Transferred Employee participates after the Closing (each, a “Purchaser Benefit Plan”), Purchaser shall cause each such Purchaser Benefit Plan to recognize the service of each such Transferred Employee prior to the Closing with Seller and its Affiliates as employment with Purchaser and its Affiliates for purposes of eligibility and benefit entitlement, but not for purposes of benefit accrual, under each such Purchaser Benefit Plan. With respect to medical, dental and other health and welfare Purchaser Benefit Plans covering Transferred Employees as required herein, Purchaser shall waive any waiting periods or limitations or exclusions relating to pre-existing conditions to the extent that such periods, limitations or exclusions were not applicable to or had been satisfied by such Transferred Employees immediately prior to the Closing Date under applicable Employee Benefit Plans of Seller or their Affiliate.

(e) Purchaser shall not be responsible (and Seller shall be responsible) for any health and accident claims and expenses with respect to services provided to the Transferred Employees prior to the Closing. Seller shall not be responsible (and Purchaser shall be responsible) for any health and accident claims and expenses with respect to services provided to Transferred Employees from and after the Closing Date. Purchaser agrees to provide continuation coverage required by COBRA to all Transferred Employees and their covered beneficiaries who become entitled to COBRA coverage in connection with a “qualifying event” (as such term is defined in ERISA) that occurs after the Closing Date. Seller shall provide continuation coverage required by COBRA to all Transferred Employees and their covered beneficiaries who became entitled to COBRA coverage in connection with a “qualifying event” that occurred on or before the Closing Date.

(f) Nothing in this Article VIII shall require Purchaser or Seller to provide or continue any specific plans, programs, policies or arrangements. Furthermore, Purchaser shall not assume any Employee Benefit Plan which is maintained, contributed to or required to be contributed to by Seller, and Seller shall retain all Liabilities and obligations for all benefits incurred, accrued, or legally committed to, if any, under such Employee Benefit Plans including, without limitation, responsibility for all welfare plan claims incurred by Employees and all long or short-term disability claims arising from disabilities. For this purpose, a claim is incurred when the medical or other service giving rise to the claim is performed, except that in the case of death, a claim is incurred upon death. Seller shall retain all Liabilities and obligations to provide post-retirement health and life insurance benefits to former and current Employees (and their covered spouses and dependents) incurred under the terms of the Employee Benefit Plans which are maintained, contributed to or required to be contributed to Seller. Any obligation to provide employee benefits to Excluded Employees shall remain the obligation of the Seller.

(g) The Transferred Employees will be eligible within a period that is consistent with other employees participating in the Purchaser 401(k) Plan after the Closing Date to participate in a plan established, maintained or adopted by Purchaser which is described in Section 401(k) of the Code (individually a “Purchaser 401(k) Plan”). To the extent permitted under Section 401(k) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, the Purchaser 401(k) Plan will provide that the Transferred Employees will have the right to make direct rollovers from Seller’s 401(k) plans to the applicable plan of their vested accounts in the Purchasers’ 401(k) Plan to the extent those rollovers constitute “eligible rollover distributions” within the meaning of Section 402(c)(4) of the Code. Such rollover distributions received by the Purchaser 401(k) Plan shall not include any participant loans. None of the assets involved in such rollover shall include shares of Parent stock. The Transferred Employees will receive credit under the Purchaser 401(k) Plan for all service with Seller or the Subsidiaries for purposes of satisfying any service requirement to participate in the applicable plan and any service requirement to earn a vested benefit under the applicable plan; however, such service shall not be credited for any other purpose under the Purchaser 401(k) Plan.

(h) Seller shall remain liable and pay, perform and discharge any and all employment, compensation and employee benefit liabilities, responsibilities and obligations of Seller and its Affiliates including, without limitation, any and all claims of employment discrimination under any local, state, or federal law or ordinance, including, without limitation, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended; the Civil Rights Act of 1991; the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended by the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act of 1990; and Section 510 of ERISA, which Liabilities, responsibilities and obligations are incurred as the result of incidents occurring prior to the Closing, regardless of whether claims are made or reported prior to the Closing. In the event that Purchaser or its Affiliate or any benefit plan maintained by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates directly or indirectly incurs any costs, liabilities, obligations or legal expenses related to any such incidents occurring prior to the Closing, Seller shall reimburse and indemnify Purchaser and its Affiliates for any and all such costs, liabilities, obligations and expenses immediately upon the demand of Purchaser.

(i) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the terms of this Agreement shall not amend or have the effect of amending the terms of any Employee Benefit Plan or Purchaser Benefit Plan.

8.2 Standard Procedure. Pursuant to the “Standard Procedure” provided in Section 4 of Revenue Procedure 96-60, 1996-2 C.B. 399, as amended and expanded by Rev. Proc. 2004-53, IRS 2004-34 (August 18, 2004), (i) Purchaser and Seller shall report on a predecessor/successor basis as set forth therein, (ii) Seller will not be relieved from filing a Form W-2 with respect to any Transferred Employees, and (iii) Purchaser will undertake to file (or cause to be filed) a Form W-2 for each such Transferred Employee only with respect to the portion of the year during which such Employees are employed by the Purchaser that includes the Closing Date, excluding the portion of such year that such Employee was employed by Seller or the Subsidiaries.

8.3 Terminated Employees. At the Closing, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a true and complete list of all Employees who suffered an “employment loss” as defined in WARN within 90 days prior to the Closing Date.

Unless a specified period is set forth in this Agreement (in which event such specified period will

control), the covenants and other agreements in this Agreement will survive the Closing and remain in effect indefinitely.

10.2 Indemnification.

(a) Subject to Sections 10.1, Section 10.4 and Section 10.5, Seller and Parent hereby agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify and hold Purchaser and its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, stockholders, agents, attorneys, representatives, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against:

(i) any and all losses, Taxes, Liabilities, claims, demands, judgments, obligations, damages, costs and expenses (including costs of investigation and defense and reasonable attorneys’ and other professionals’ fees) or diminution in value whether or not involving a third party claim (individually, a “Loss” and, collectively, “Losses”) directly related to the failure of Seller’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 5.20, or otherwise based upon, attributable to or resulting from the failure of any of the other representations or warranties of Seller set forth in this Agreement or in any Seller Document, to be true and correct in all respects at the date hereof and at the Closing Date (without giving effect to any materiality, Material Adverse Effect or Knowledge qualifier contained therein) or in any document purporting to assign, convey or transfer Purchased Assets or Assumed Liabilities in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (each a “Transfer Document” and collectively the “Transfer Documents”);

(ii) any and all Losses based upon, attributable to or resulting from the breach of any covenant or other agreement on the part of Seller under this Agreement or any Seller Document;

(iii) any and all Losses attributable to any Transferred Employee resulting from or based upon (A) any employment-related liability (statutory or otherwise) with respect to employment or termination of employment on or prior to the Closing Date, (B) except as set forth in the Transition Services Agreement, any liability relating to, arising under or in connection with any Employee Benefit Plan, including any liability under COBRA, whether arising prior to, on or after the Closing Date and (C) any liability under WARN;

(b) Subject to Sections 10.1 and 10.4, Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Seller and its Affiliates, stockholders, agents, attorneys, representatives, successors and permitted assigns (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against:

(i) any and all Losses based upon, attributable to or resulting from the failure of any of the representations or warranties of Purchaser set forth in this Agreement or any Purchaser Document, to be true and correct at the date hereof and at the Closing Date (without giving effect to any materiality, Material Adverse Effect or Knowledge qualifier contained therein);

(ii) any and all Losses based upon, attributable to or resulting from the breach of any covenant or other agreement on the part of Purchaser under this Agreement or any Purchaser Document; and

(iii) any and all Losses arising out of, based upon or relating to any Assumed Liability.

(c) The right to indemnification or any other remedy based on representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in this Agreement shall not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement. The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or agreements, will not affect the right to indemnification or any other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants and agreements.

(d) From and after the Closing, indemnification pursuant to this Article X shall be the exclusive remedy of the parties hereto for any Losses arising out of or relating to this Agreement, except in the case of fraud, bad faith, willful misconduct or willful breach of this Agreement.

(f) No Person shall be entitled to collect punitive damages, special damages or consequential damages by operation of this Article X or any other provision of this Agreement, except insofar as such punitive, special or consequential damages are owed to a third party and otherwise constitute Losses hereunder

10.3 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a third party claim may be asserted by notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought.

(b) In the event that any Legal Proceedings shall be instituted or that any claim or demand shall be asserted by any third party in respect of which payment may be sought under Section 10.2 hereof (regardless of the limitations set forth in Section 10.4) (“Indemnification Claim”), the indemnified party shall reasonably and promptly cause written notice of the assertion of any Indemnification Claim of which it has knowledge which is covered by this indemnity to be forwarded to the indemnifying party. The indemnifying party shall have the right, at its sole expense, to be represented by counsel of its choice, which must be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, and to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Indemnification Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified against hereunder; provided, that the indemnifying party shall have acknowledged in writing to the indemnified party its unqualified obligation to indemnify the indemnified party as provided

hereunder. If the indemnifying party elects to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Indemnification Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified against hereunder, it shall within five days (or sooner, if the nature of the Indemnification Claim so requires) 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 Indemnification Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified against hereunder, fails to notify the indemnified party of its election as herein provided or contests its obligation to indemnify the indemnified party for such Losses under this Agreement, the indemnified party may defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with such Indemnification Claim, and in such event, the indemnifying party shall reimburse the indemnified party for the reasonable expenses of defending such Indemnification Claim upon submission of periodic bills. If the indemnifying party shall assume the defense of any Indemnification Claim, the indemnified party may participate, at his or its own expense, in the defense of such Indemnification 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 or (ii) in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the indemnified party a conflict or potential conflict exists between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party that would make such separate representation advisable; and provided, further, that the indemnifying party shall not be required to pay for more than one such counsel (and any appropriate local counsel) for all indemnified parties in connection with any Indemnification Claim. The parties hereto agree to cooperate fully with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such Indemnification Claim. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 10.3 to the contrary, neither the indemnifying party nor the indemnified party shall, without the written consent of the other party, settle or compromise any Indemnification Claim or permit a default or consent to entry of any judgment unless the claimant and such party provide to such other party an unqualified release from all liability in respect of the Indemnification Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a settlement offer solely for money damages is made by the applicable third party claimant, and the indemnifying party notifies the indemnified party in writing of the indemnifying party’s willingness to accept the settlement offer and, subject to the applicable limitations of Section 10.4, pay the amount called for by such offer, and the indemnified party declines to accept such offer, the indemnified party may continue to contest such Indemnification Claim, free of any participation by the indemnifying party, and the amount of any ultimate liability with respect to such Indemnification Claim that the indemnifying party has an obligation to pay hereunder shall be limited to the lesser of (A) the amount of the settlement offer that the indemnified party declined to accept plus the Losses of the indemnified party relating to such Indemnification Claim through the date of its rejection of the settlement offer or (B) the aggregate Losses of the indemnified party with respect to such Indemnification Claim. If the indemnifying party makes any payment on any Indemnification Claim, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated, to the extent of such payment, to all rights and remedies of the indemnified party to any insurance benefits or other claims of the indemnified party with respect to such Indemnification Claim.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an indemnified party determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that an Indemnification Claim related to a third party claim (i) may adversely affect it, the Assumed Liabilities, NetBank Finance, the Purchased Assets or any of its Affiliates other than solely as a result of monetary damages for which it could be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, (ii) may have a material and adverse effect upon the conduct or reputation of the indemnified party after the Closing Date (which shall include any purported class action claim against Purchaser and/or its Affiliates and any claim based on an investigation, inquiry or other proceeding by a Governmental Body), or (iii) relates to Taxes and involves matters that are not indemnified hereunder or is reasonably anticipated to increase the Tax Liability for any post-closing tax period, the indemnified party may, by notice to the indemnifying party, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise or settle such Indemnification Claim at the indemnifying party’s expense; provided, that no such compromise, discharge or settlement of, or admission of Liability in connection with, such

claims may be effected by the indemnified party without the indemnifying party’s written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(d) 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 an Indemnification Claim hereunder, the indemnified party shall forward to the indemnifying party notice of any sums due and owing 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. If Seller is the indemnifying party and fails to make payment of amounts due in accordance with this Article X, Purchaser may, at its option, (i) reduce the Indemnification Holdback Amount by any sums due and owning to Purchaser pursuant to this Article X in partial or total satisfaction of one or more indemnification payments due from Seller to Purchaser under this Article X or (ii) take any and all necessary actions to enforce its right to payment of any amounts due and owing Purchaser by Seller under this Article X including bringing any Legal Proceeding against Seller or Parent or both.

(e) The failure of the indemnified party to give reasonably prompt notice of any Indemnification Claim or the indemnifying party to give reasonably prompt notice of its election as to whether to assume the defense of any Indemnification Claim shall not release, waive or otherwise affect the parties’ rights and obligations with respect thereto except to the extent that the indemnifying party can demonstrate actual loss and prejudice as a result of such failure.

10.4 Limitations on Indemnification for Breaches of Representations and Warranties.

(a) An indemnifying party shall not have any liability under Section 10.2(a)(i) or Section 10.2(b)(i) hereof unless the aggregate amount of Losses to the indemnified parties finally determined to arise thereunder based upon, attributable to or resulting from the failure of any of the representations or warranties (other than the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 5.1 (organization), 5.2 (authorization), 5.6 (title), 5.8 (taxes), 5.20 (loan originations), 5.21 (Beacon loans), 5.23 (financial advisors), 5.24 (deposits), 6.1 (organization), 6.2 (authorization), 6.5 (financial advisors) and the obligations under Section 11.1 hereof) to be true and correct exceeds $250,000 (the “Basket”) and, in such event, the indemnifying party shall be required to pay the entire amount of such Losses.

(b) Seller and Parent shall not have any liability under Section 10.2(a)(i) with respect to the failure of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5.24 (deposits) unless the aggregate amount of Losses to Purchaser finally determined to arise thereunder based upon, attributable to or resulting from the failure of such representations or warranties to be true and correct exceeds $250,000 (the “Deposit Deductible”) and, in such event, the indemnifying party shall be required to pay the amount of such Losses in excess of the Deposit Deductible.

(c) Neither Seller nor Purchaser shall be required to indemnify any Person under Section 10.2(a)(i) or 10.2(b)(i) for an aggregate amount of Losses exceeding $10,000,000 (the “Cap”) in connection with Losses related to the breach of any of the representations and warranties of Seller or Purchaser in Articles V and VI, respectively; provided, that the Cap limitation shall not apply to Losses related to the failure of any representation or warranty contained in Sections 5.1 (organization), 5.2 (authorization), 5.6 (title), 5.8 (taxes) 5.20 (loan origination), 5.21 (Beacon loans), 5.23 (financial advisors), 5.24 (deposits), 6.1 (organization), 6.2 (authorization), 6.5 (financial advisors) and the obligations under Section 11.1 to be true and correct.

(d) The indemnification obligations of any party hereunder shall be reduced to the extent that the Indemnified Party, through willful or grossly negligent action, inaction or omission contributes to the Loss.

10.5 Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments. Seller and Purchaser agree to treat any indemnity payment made pursuant to this Article X as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes. If, notwithstanding the treatment required by the preceding sentence, any indemnification payment is determined to be taxable to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties by any Taxing Authority, Seller shall also indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for any Taxes incurred by reason of the receipt of such payment and any expenses incurred by the party receiving such payment in connection with such Taxes (or any asserted deficiency, claim, demand, action, suit, proceeding, judgment or assessment, including the defense or settlement thereof, relating to such Taxes).

ARTICLE XI

TAXES

11.1 Transfer Taxes. Seller shall (i) be responsible for any and all sales, use, stamp, documentary, filing, recording, transfer, real estate transfer, stock transfer, gross receipts, registration, duty, securities transactions or similar fees or Taxes or governmental charges (together with any interest or penalty, addition to tax or additional amount imposed) as levied by any Taxing Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”), regardless of the Person liable for such Transfer Taxes under applicable Law and (ii) timely file or caused to be filed all necessary documents (including all Tax Returns) with respect to Transfer Taxes.

11.2 Prorations. Seller shall bear all property and ad valorem Tax Liability with respect to the Purchased Assets if the Lien or assessment date arises prior to the Closing Date irrespective of the reporting and payment dates of such taxes. All other real property Taxes, personal property Taxes, or ad valorem obligations and similar recurring Taxes and fees on the Purchased Assets for taxable periods beginning before, and ending after, the Closing Date, shall be prorated between Purchaser and Seller as of the Closing Date. The portion to be paid by the Seller will be based on a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the total number of days in such Taxable Period. With respect to Taxes described in this Section 11.2, Seller shall timely file all Tax Returns due before the Closing Date with respect to such Taxes and Purchaser shall prepare and timely file all Tax Returns due after the Closing Date with respect to such Taxes.

12.6 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced by any law or public policy, all other terms or provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

12.7 Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in this Agreement shall create or be deemed to create any third party beneficiary rights in any Person not a party to this Agreement except as provided below. No assignment of this Agreement or of any rights or obligations hereunder may be made by either Seller or Purchaser (by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto and any attempted assignment without the required consents shall be void; provided, that Purchaser may assign this Agreement and any or all rights or obligations hereunder (including, without limitation, Purchaser’s rights to purchase the Purchased Assets and assume the Assumed Liabilities and Purchaser’s rights to seek indemnification hereunder) to any Affiliate of Purchaser, or any Person to which Purchaser or any of its Affiliates proposes to sell all or substantially all of Purchased Assets. Upon any such permitted assignment, the references in this Agreement to Purchaser shall also apply to any such assignee unless the context otherwise requires.

12.8 Knowledge. When references are made in this Agreement to information being to the “Knowledge of Parent” or “Knowledge of Seller” or similar language, such knowledge shall refer to the knowledge of any current or previous officer or director of Parent or the Bank, as applicable. Such individuals shall be deemed to have “knowledge” of a particular fact or other matter if: (a) such individual is actually aware of such fact or other matter; or (b) a prudent individual in such person’s capacity with Seller could be expected to discover or otherwise become aware of such fact or other matter in the course of conducting a reasonably comprehensive investigation concerning the existence of such fact or other matter.

12.9 Disclosure Letter.

(a) The disclosures in the Disclosure Letter must relate, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary therein, shall be deemed to relate, only to the specific section (or subsection thereof, if applicable) of the Agreement to which they expressly relate and not to any other section or subsection of the Agreement.

(b) In the event of an inconsistency between the statements in the body of this Agreement and those in such Disclosure Letter (other than an exception expressly set forth in the Disclosure Letter with respect to a specifically identified section or subsection), the statements in the body of this Agreement will control.

12.10 Parent Agreement and Obligations

(a) Parent hereby agrees to be jointly and severally liable for the prompt and complete performance of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement, including its no shop covenants under Section 7.6 and indemnification obligations under Article X, subject to the same terms, conditions, procedural requirements and limitations that apply to Seller’s indemnification obligations hereunder, as if Parent had delivered or made the same representations, warranties, covenants and agreements that Seller has delivered or made hereunder, on a joint and several basis. Parent’s obligations hereunder are unconditional (other than with respect to the conditions applicable to Seller hereunder) irrespective of any circumstances which might otherwise constitute, by operation of law, a discharge of a guarantor and it shall not be necessary for Purchaser to institute or exhaust any remedies or causes of action against Seller or any other Person as a condition to the obligations of Parent hereunder. In addition, Parent agrees to be, and agrees to cause its Affiliates to be, subject to the restrictions, limitations, prohibitions and other covenants set forth in Section 7.6

(b) Parent hereby irrevocably waives any right to receive a separate formal notification or to request that any other formalities or protest be accomplished as a condition to its obligations hereunder, and expressly undertakes not to exercise, and waives to the fullest extent lawful, any rights that it may have under applicable law

12.11 Non-Recourse. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney or representative of Purchaser or its Affiliates shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of Purchaser under this Agreement or the Purchaser Documents of or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

12.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original copy of this Agreement and all of which, when taken together, will be deemed to constitute one and the same agreement.
