	(i)		Cash on Hand;

(b) Purchaser understands and agrees that it is purchasing only the Assets (and assuming only the Liabilities) specified in this Agreement and, except as may be expressly provided for in this Agreement, Purchaser has no interest in or right to any other business relationship which Seller or its Affiliates may have with any customer of the Branches or of the Relationship Managers, including, without limitation: (i) any deposit account or other service of Seller at any other office of Seller which may be linked to the Deposits; (ii) any deposit account which sweeps from the Branch to a third party; (iii) any merchant card banking business; and (iv) any cash management service (e.g., cash concentrator accounts, controlled disbursement accounts) which Seller may provide to any customer of the Branches or of the Relationship Managers. Purchaser understands and acknowledges that no credit card relationships, trust and custody relationships, educational loans, commercial leases or brokerage or investment management relationships are being sold. No right to the use of any sign, trade name, trademark or service mark, if any, of Seller, PNC or any of their respective Affiliates, is being sold.

2.2 Assumption of Liabilities. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, Purchaser shall assume, pay, perform and discharge all duties, responsibilities, obligations or liabilities of Seller (whether accrued, contingent or otherwise) to be discharged, performed, satisfied or paid on or after the Closing Date, with respect to the following (collectively, the “Liabilities”):

	(i)		the Deposits, including IRA and Keogh Accounts to the extent contemplated by Section 2.4;
	(ii)		the Branch Leases, Tenant Leases, Tenant Security Deposits and the Owned Real Property;

	(v)		the Loans, and the servicing of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.5;
	(vi)		subject to Section 2.2(c), Seller’s obligations with respect to the Letters of Credit; and

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Purchaser shall not assume or be bound by any duties, responsibilities, obligations or liabilities of Seller, or of any of Seller’s Affiliates, of any kind or nature, known, unknown, contingent or otherwise, other than the Liabilities or as otherwise expressly set forth herein.

(c) Schedule 2.2(c) contains a list of the Letters of Credit outstanding as of the close of business on February 28, 2009 with such list identifying whether a Letter of Credit relates to a bond issuance. In recognition that Seller’s obligations under the Letters of Credit are not directly assumable by or assignable to Purchaser, the parties agree that (i) the Letters of Credit shall remain outstanding from and after the Closing in accordance with their respective terms and (ii)(A) for each of the Letters of Credit outstanding as of the close of business on the second (2^nd) Business Day prior to the Closing Date set forth on Schedule 2.2(c) (as updated pursuant to the penultimate sentence of this Section 2.2(c)) and identified thereon as relating to a bond issuance, Purchaser shall issue and deliver to Seller at the Closing a backup letter of credit, in form and substance acceptable to Seller (each, a “Backup Bond Letter of Credit”), which Backup Bond Letter of Credit shall (x) permit Seller to draw on such Backup Bond Letter of Credit to the extent any funds are drawn under the applicable Letter of Credit by presenting a sight draft in the amount drawn on Seller under the applicable Letter of Credit plus any fees or charges owing to Seller in respect of such Letter of Credit, and (y) require Purchaser to pay such draw by Seller on the Backup Bond Letter of Credit by remitting to Seller on the same Business Day Seller presents its sight draft (or on the next Business Day if Seller presents its sight draft after 2:00 p.m. Pittsburgh time) immediately available funds in the amount of Seller’s sight draft and (B) for the other Letters of Credit outstanding as of the close of business on the second (2^nd) Business Day prior to the Closing Date set forth on

Schedule 2.2(c) (as updated pursuant to the penultimate sentence of this Section 2.2(c)), Purchaser shall issue and deliver to Seller at the Closing a single backup letter of credit, in form and substance acceptable to Seller (the “Backup General Letter of Credit” and together with the Backup Bond Letters of Credit, the “Backup Letters of Credit”), which Backup General Letter of Credit shall (x) permit Seller to draw on the Backup General Letter of Credit to the extent any funds are drawn under any applicable Letter of Credit (other than those identified on Schedule 2.2(c) as relating to a bond issuance) by presenting a sight draft in the amount drawn on Seller under such Letter of Credit plus any fees or charges owing to Seller in respect of such Letter of Credit, and (y) require Purchaser to pay such draw by Seller on the Backup General Letter of Credit by remitting to Seller on the same Business Day Seller presents its sight draft (or on the next Business Day if Seller presents its sight draft after 2:00 p.m. Pittsburgh time) immediately available funds in the amount of Seller’s sight draft. From and after the Closing, as promptly as practicable following notice to Purchaser (and in any event within two (2) Business Days of any such notice), Purchaser shall execute and deliver to Seller additional Backup Bond Letters of Credit or amendments to the Backup General Letter of Credit, as applicable, with respect to any Letters of Credit issued between the close of business on the second (2^nd) Business Day prior to the Closing Date and the Closing. On the Closing Date, Seller shall assign its rights under all reimbursement agreements and related documents (including, but not limited to, any collateral documents) with respect to the Letters of Credit (collectively, the “Reimbursement Obligations”) to Purchaser such that Purchaser will be entitled to obtain reimbursement from customers upon any draw on a Backup Letter of Credit to the same extent that Seller is entitled to obtain such reimbursement upon any draw on a Letter of Credit. From and after the Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to replace the Letters of Credit (other than those identified on Schedule 2.2(c) as relating to a bond issuance) with new letters of credit issued by Purchaser (each, a “Replacement Letter of Credit”). In the event that any amounts are repaid to Seller by the obligor under any applicable Letter of Credit in respect of amounts remitted to Seller by Purchaser in payment of Seller’s draw on the applicable Backup Letter of Credit, Seller shall promptly remit such amounts to Purchaser. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Seller shall have no obligation to renew any commitments under Letters of Credit expiring from and after the date of the Closing Date except to the extent, if any, set forth in the Memorandum of Understanding (as defined below). Seller will furnish Purchaser on the Business Day prior to the Closing Date with an updated Schedule 2.2(c) containing all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the close of business on the second (2^nd) Business Day prior to the Closing Date and identifying those Letters of Credit that relate to a bond issuance. On the Closing Date, Seller and Purchaser shall execute a memorandum of understanding detailing the procedures to be followed in administering the Backup Letters of Credit and substituting the Replacement Letters of Credit as contemplated by this Section 2.2(c) including the allocation of fees between Seller and Purchaser on an equitable basis reflecting relative credit risk and administrative burdens following the Closing (the “Memorandum of Understanding”).

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

(a) An amount equal to 1.3% of the average daily balance (including Accrued Interest) of the Deposits for the period commencing thirty (30) calendar days prior to and inclusive of the second (2^nd) Business Day prior to the Closing Date and ending on the second (2^nd) Business Day prior to the Closing Date;

(b) The aggregate amount of Cash on Hand as of the Closing Date;

(c) The aggregate net book value of all the Assets, other than Cash on Hand and Owned Real Property, as reflected on the books of Seller as of the close of business of the month-end day most recently preceding the Closing Date;

(d) Accrued Interest with respect to the Loans; and

(e) The Appraised Value of the Owned Real Property.

2.4 Assumption of IRA and Keogh Account Deposits. (a) With respect to Deposits in IRAs, Seller will use reasonable efforts and will cooperate with Purchaser in taking any action reasonably necessary to accomplish either the appointment of Purchaser as successor custodian or the delegation to Purchaser (or to an Affiliate of Purchaser) of Seller’s authority and responsibility as custodian of all such IRA deposits (except self-directed IRA deposits), including, but not limited to, sending to the depositors thereof appropriate notices, cooperating with Purchaser (or such Affiliate) in soliciting consents from such depositors, and filing any appropriate applications with applicable Regulatory Authorities. If any such delegation is made to Purchaser (or such Affiliate), Purchaser (or such Affiliate) will perform all of the duties so delegated and comply with the terms of Seller’s agreement with the depositor of the IRA deposits affected thereby.

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

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

2.5 Sale and Transfer of Servicing. The Loans shall be sold on a servicing-released basis (and without limitation, any related escrow deposits shall be transferred to Purchaser). As of the Closing Date, all rights, obligations, liabilities and responsibilities with respect to the servicing of the Loans after the Closing Date will be assumed by Purchaser. Seller shall be discharged and indemnified by Purchaser from all liability with respect to servicing of the Loans after the Closing Date and Purchaser shall not assume and shall be discharged and indemnified by Seller from all liability with respect to servicing of the Loans on or prior to the Closing Date.

Such accounting firm shall be instructed to resolve the disputed items within ten (10) Business Days of engagement, to the extent reasonably practicable.

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

Thus, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, items of income and expense, as defined herein, shall be prorated as of 5:00 p.m. Pittsburgh time on the Closing Date, and settled between Seller and Purchaser on the Closing Date, whether or not such adjustment would normally be made as of such time.

Seller makes no representation or warranty to Purchaser regarding the condition of the Loan Documents or any single document included therein, or Seller’s interest in any collateral securing any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation, except as specifically set forth herein.

If, within thirty (30) calendar days of the receipt of the Draft Allocation Statement, Purchaser shall not have objected in writing to such draft, the Draft Allocation Statement shall become the Final Allocation Statement, as defined below. If Purchaser objects to the Draft Allocation Statement in writing within such thirty (30) calendar-day period, Purchaser and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any disputed items. If, within ninety (90) calendar days after the Adjustment Date, Purchaser and Seller fail to agree on such allocation, any disputed aspects of such allocation shall be resolved by a nationally recognized independent accounting firm mutually acceptable to Purchaser and Seller. The allocation of the total consideration, as agreed upon by Purchaser and Seller (as a result of either the Purchaser’s failure to object to the Draft Allocation Statement or of good faith negotiations between Purchaser and Seller) or determined by an accounting firm under this Section 3.10(a), (the “Final Allocation Statement”) shall be final and binding upon the parties.

(b) Purchaser and Seller shall report the transaction contemplated by this Agreement (including income Tax reporting requirements imposed pursuant to Section 1060 of the Code) in accordance with the allocation specified in the Final Allocation Statement. Each of Purchaser and Seller agrees to timely file, or cause to be timely filed, IRS Form 8594 (or any comparable form under state or local Tax law) and any required attachment thereto in accordance with the Final Allocation Statement. Except as otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” under Section 1313 of the Code (or any comparable provision of state or local law), neither Purchaser nor Seller shall take, or shall permit its Affiliates to take, a Tax position which is inconsistent with the Final Allocation Statement. In the event any party hereto receives notice of an audit in respect of the allocation of the consideration paid for the Assets, such party shall immediately notify the other party in writing as to the date and subject of such audit.

ARTICLE 4

TRANSITIONAL MATTERS

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

(a) Not later than seven (7) calendar days after the date of this Agreement, Seller will meet with Purchaser to investigate, confirm and agree upon mutually acceptable transaction settlement procedures and specifications, files, procedures and schedules, for the transfer of account record responsibility; provided, however, that Seller shall not be obligated under this Agreement to provide Purchaser any information regarding Seller’s relationship with the customers outside of the relevant Branch (e.g., other customer products, householding information) or other than with respect to the Relationship Accounts, as applicable.

(b) Not later than thirty (30) calendar days after the date of this Agreement, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser the specifications and conversion sample files.

(c) From time to time prior to the Closing, after Purchaser has tested and confirmed the conversion sample files, Purchaser may request and Seller shall provide reasonable additional file-related information, including, without limitation, complete name and address, account masterfile, 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 Deposits and the Loans.

(d) Upon the reasonable request of Purchaser, Seller will cooperate with Purchaser and will make available from time to time prior to the Closing Date, at Purchaser’s expense (at the hourly rates set forth in Schedule 4.1(d)), a reasonable number of technical personnel for consultation with Purchaser concerning matters other than the matters referred to in this Section 4.1; provided that there shall be no charge for consultations of less than one (1) hour duration.

(e) Upon the reasonable request of Purchaser, Seller will cooperate to assist Purchaser with respect to the continuation, at Purchaser’s expense, of any third-party vendor services to the Branches from and after the Closing Date. From the date of this Agreement until the Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate in good faith to address any transitional issues that may arise and that are not specifically addressed in this Article IV.

4.2 Customers. (a) Not later than thirty (30) calendar days nor earlier than sixty (60) calendar days prior to the Closing Date (except as otherwise required by applicable law):

	(i)		Seller will notify the holders of Deposits to be transferred on the Closing Date that, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Purchaser will be assuming liability for such Deposits; and
	(ii)		each of Seller and Purchaser shall provide, or join in providing where appropriate, all notices to customers of the Branches, customers of Relationship Managers and other persons that either Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, is required to give under applicable law or the terms of any other agreement between Seller and any customer in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

A party proposing to send or publish any notice or communication pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall furnish to the other party a copy of the proposed form of such notice or communication, to the extent reasonably practicable, two (2) Business Days, but in any event at least one (1) Business Day, in advance of the proposed date of the first mailing, posting, or other dissemination thereof to customers, and shall not unreasonably refuse to amend such notice to incorporate any changes that the other such party proposes as necessary to comply with applicable law. All costs and expenses of any notice or communication sent or published by Purchaser or Seller shall be the responsibility of the party sending such notice or communication and all costs and expenses of any joint notice or communication shall be shared equally by Seller and Purchaser. As soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within forty-five (45) calendar days after the date hereof, Seller shall provide to Purchaser a report of the names and addresses of the owners of the Deposits, the borrowers on the Loans, customers of Relationship Managers and the lessees of the safe deposit boxes as of the date hereof in connection with the mailing of such materials. No communications by Purchaser, and no communications by Seller outside the ordinary course of business, to any such owners, borrowers, customers or lessees shall be made prior to the Closing Date except as provided in this Agreement or otherwise agreed to by the parties in writing.

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

(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.6, neither Purchaser nor Seller shall object to the use, by depositors of the Deposits, of payment orders issued to or ordered by such depositors on or prior to the Closing Date, which payment orders bear the name, or any logo, trademark, service mark or the proprietary mark of Seller, National City, PNC or any of their respective Affiliates; provided, however, that Purchaser shall notify Deposit account customers and Loan account customers that, upon the expiration of a post-Closing processing period, which shall be sixty (60) calendar days after Closing Date (the “Post-Closing Processing Period”), any Items which are drawn on Seller shall not thereafter be honored by Seller. Such notice shall be given by delivering written instructions to such effect to such Deposit account customers and Loan account customers in accordance with this Section 4.2.

(d) During the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the sixtieth (60^th) calendar day thereafter, Seller shall, by commercially reasonable efforts and at Purchaser’s expense (A) accept as a correspondent bank for forwarding to Purchaser all Items which are presented to Seller for payment or credit in any manner including, without limitation, through Seller’s Federal Reserve cash letters or correspondent bank cash letters or deposited by Deposit account customers, correspondent banks or others but excluding ATM withdrawals, deposits and transfers unless initiated with an automated teller machine card issued by Purchaser; and (B) batch all such items in paper format (checks or IRDs) and have them available for pickup by Purchaser no later than 8:00 a.m. Pittsburgh time on the Business Day after presentation to Seller. For deposits and loan payments processed in error by Seller, copies of the deposit slips, loan correspondence (or similar correspondence) and copies of the deposited items will be batched and provided to Purchaser by 12:00 noon Pittsburgh time on the next Business Day and will be provided via secured email to allow memo posting of the deposits and loan payments to the customer accounts.

4.3 Direct Deposits. Seller will use its reasonable best efforts to transfer to Purchaser 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 Deposits. For a period of ninety (90) calendar days following the Closing, in the case of ACH direct deposits to accounts containing Deposits (the final Business Day of such period being the “ACH Direct Deposit Cut-Off Date”), Seller shall transfer to Purchaser all received ACH direct deposits each Business Day at 7:00 a.m. Pittsburgh time, to the extent reasonably practicable, but in any event not later than 7:30 a.m. Pittsburgh time. Such transfers shall contain Direct Deposits effective for that Business Day only. On each Business Day, for a period of thirty (30) calendar days following the Closing Date (the final Business Day of such period being the “FedWire Direct Deposit Cut-Off Date”), FedWires received by Seller shall be returned (as soon as is practicable after receipt) to the originator with an indication of Purchaser’s correct Wire Room contact

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

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 Purchaser with such additional financial and operating data and other information about its business operations at the Branches as may be reasonably necessary for the orderly transfer of the business operations of the Branches and for purposes of enabling Purchaser to comply with its securities law disclosure obligations. Any investigation pursuant to this Section 7.2(a) shall be conducted in such manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of Seller’s business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not be required to provide access to or disclose information where such access or disclosure would impose an unreasonable burden on Seller, or any employee of Seller or would violate or prejudice the rights of customers, jeopardize any attorney-client privilege or contravene any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, decree, fiduciary duty or binding agreement entered into prior to the date of this Agreement. The parties hereto shall use reasonable best efforts to make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements under circumstances in which the restrictions of the preceding sentence apply.

(b) Seller shall permit Purchaser, at its expense, to cause a “phase I environmental audit” and a “phase II environmental audit” to be performed at each Branch at any time prior to the Closing Date; provided, however, that Purchaser shall have the right to conduct a “phase II environmental audit” prior to the Closing only to the extent that a “phase II environmental audit” is within the scope of additional testing recommended by the “phase I environmental audit” to be performed as a result of a “Recognized Environmental Condition” (as such term is defined by The American Society for Testing Materials) that was discovered in the “phase I environmental audit.” Prior to performing any “phase II environmental audits,” Purchaser will provide Seller with a copy of its proposed work plan and Purchaser will cooperate in good faith with Seller to address any comments or suggestions made by Seller regarding the work plan. Purchaser and its environmental consultant shall conduct all environmental assessments pursuant to this Section 7.2(b) at mutually agreeable times and so as to eliminate or minimize to the greatest extent possible interference with Seller’s operation of its business, and Purchaser shall maintain or cause to be maintained adequate insurance with respect to any assessment conducted hereunder. Purchaser shall be required to restore each Owned Real Property to its pre-assessment condition. All costs and expenses incurred in connection with any “phase I environmental audit” and any “phase II environmental audit,” and any restoration and clean up, shall be borne solely by Purchaser.

(c) Each party to this Agreement shall hold, and shall cause its respective directors, officers, employees, agents, consultants and advisors to hold, in strict confidence, except to the extent necessary to discharge obligations pursuant to Section 7.3 or unless compelled to disclose by judicial or administrative process or, based on the advice of its counsel, by other requirements of law or the applicable requirements of any regulatory agency or relevant stock exchange, all non-public records, books, contracts, instruments, computer data and other data and information (collectively, “Information”) concerning the other party (or, if required under a contract with a third party, such third party) furnished to it by such other party or its representatives pursuant to this Agreement (except to the extent that such information can be shown to have been (i) previously known by such party on a non-confidential basis, (ii) in the public domain through no fault of such party or (iii) later lawfully acquired from other sources by the party to which it was furnished), and neither party shall release or disclose such Information to any other person, except its auditors, attorneys, financial advisors, bankers, other consultants and advisors and, to the extent permitted above, any Regulatory Authority. Without limiting the foregoing, Purchaser may meet with Branch Employees, as well as with regional directors who have responsibility for the Branches, promptly following execution of this Agreement and through the Closing to discuss employment retention and other employment related matters at mutually agreeable times and so long as such meetings do not interfere unreasonably with the conduct of Seller’s business.

7.3 Regulatory Approvals. As soon as practicable and in no event later than fifteen (15) Business Days after the date of this Agreement, and assuming the full and timely cooperation and assistance of Seller, Purchaser shall prepare and file any applications, notices and filing required in order to obtain the Regulatory Approvals. Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain each such approval as promptly as reasonably practicable and to the extent best possible in order to permit the Closing to occur not later than September 4, 2009. Seller will use reasonable best efforts to cooperate in connection therewith (including the furnishing of any information and any reasonable undertaking or commitments 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 Regulatory Authority 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, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

7.4 Consents. (a) Seller agrees to use reasonable best efforts to obtain from lessors under Branch Leases and any other parties the consent of which is required in order to assign or transfer any Asset or Deposit to Purchaser on the Closing Date, any required consents to such assignment or transfer to Purchaser on the Closing Date; provided that in the case of any Branch Lease, if any consent set forth in this Section 7.4(a) is not obtained, notwithstanding Seller’s use of reasonable best efforts as required hereunder, the parties may take such actions as specified in Seller Disclosure Schedule 7.4(a) with respect to such Branch Lease; provided, further, that Seller shall not be obligated to incur any monetary obligations or expenditures to the parties whose consent is requested in connection with the utilization of its reasonable best efforts to obtain any such required consents.

(b) Seller will use reasonable best efforts to procure estoppel certificates substantially in the form of Schedule 7.4(b)-1 attached hereto, from each lessor under Branch Leases and in the form of Schedule 7.4(b)-2 from each subtenant under Tenant Leases, which certificates shall be at the expense of the Purchaser; provided that in the case of any Branch Lease, if any estoppel certificate as set forth in this Section 7.4(b) is not obtained, notwithstanding Seller’s use of reasonable best efforts as required hereunder, the parties may take such actions as specified in Seller Disclosure Schedule 7.4(b) with respect to such Branch Lease; provided, further, that Seller shall not be obligated to incur any monetary obligations or expenditures to lessors or subtenants in connection with the utilization of its reasonable best efforts to obtain such estoppel certificates.

(c) Seller will use its reasonable best efforts to procure non disturbance agreements from any mortgage lender holding a mortgage lien on any Real Property at which a Branch Lease is operated, substantially in the form of Schedule 7.4(c) hereto; provided, however, Seller shall not be obligated to incur any monetary obligations or expenditures to mortgage lenders in connection with the utilization of its reasonable best efforts to obtain such non disturbance agreements.

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

(b) From time to time following the Closing, at Purchaser’s request and expense, Seller will duly execute and deliver such assignments, bills of sale, deeds, acknowledgments and other instruments of conveyance and transfer as shall be necessary or appropriate to vest in Purchaser the full legal and equitable title to the Assets.

(c) Subject to Section 4.3, on and after the Closing Date, each party will promptly deliver to the other all mail and other communications properly addressable or deliverable to the other as a consequence of the P&A Transaction; and without limitation of the foregoing, on and after the Closing Date, Seller shall promptly forward any mail, communications or other material relating to the Deposits or the Assets transferred on the Closing Date, including, but not limited to, that portion of any IRS “B” tapes that relates to such Deposits, to such employees of Purchaser at such addresses as may from time to time be specified by Purchaser in writing.

(d) The costs incurred by a party in performing its obligations to the other (x) under Sections 7.5(a) and (c) shall be borne by the initial recipient and (y) otherwise under this Section 7.5 shall be borne by Purchaser.

7.6 Solicitation of Accounts. (a) Until the Closing Date and for an additional five (5) years following the Closing Date, Seller agrees that it will not use confidential information contained in Branch or Relationship Manager customer information files to solicit financial services business, including deposits, loans and other financial products. Except as set forth in the foregoing sentence, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to at any time prohibit or otherwise limit Seller or any of its Affiliates from soliciting financial services business, including deposits, loans and other financial products, provided, however, that, during such five year period, Seller shall not engage in any solicitation of financial services business by way of advertisements specifically directed to or targeted at customers who hold Deposits (including, without limitation, Moved Deposits) or received Loans as of the date of this Agreement, except that customers who are retained by Seller following the Closing, by virtue of other deposit accounts, loans held at branches of Seller not subject to this P&A Transaction, home equity loans, home equity lines of credits (HELOCs) or other financing relationships may be so solicited by Seller and/or its Affiliates, and Purchaser hereby understands and acknowledges that Seller and/or its Affiliates will conduct such solicitations from and after the date of this Agreement as well as after the Closing Date. Purchaser understands and acknowledges that Seller or its Affiliates will conduct banking operations in the same geographic area as the Branches and the Relationship Managers.

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

7.7 Insurance. Seller will maintain in effect until the Closing Date all casualty and public liability policies relating to the Branches and maintained by Seller on the date hereof or to procure comparable replacement coverage and maintain such policies or replacement coverage in effect until the Closing Date. Purchaser shall provide all casualty and public liability insurance for the Branches after the Closing Date. In the event of any material damage, destruction or condemnation affecting Real Property between the date hereof and the time of the Closing, Purchaser shall have the right to exclude any Real Property so affected from the Assets to be acquired, require Seller to take reasonable steps to repair or replace the damaged or destroyed property, or require Seller to deliver to Purchaser any insurance proceeds and other payments, to the extent of the fair market value or the replacement cost of the Real Property, received by Seller as a result thereof unless, in the case of damage or destruction, Seller has repaired or replaced the damaged or destroyed property.

7.8 Servicing Prior to Closing Date. With respect to each of the Loans from the date hereof until the Closing Date, Seller shall provide servicing of such Loans that is consistent with the servicing provided with respect to its loans that are not Loans. Further, without the prior written consent of Purchaser (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), Seller shall not (a) except as required by law or the terms of the Loan Documents, release any collateral or any party from any liability on or with respect to any of the Loans, (b) compromise or settle any material claims of any kind or character with respect to the Loans or (c) amend or waive any of the material terms of any Loan as set forth in the Loan Documents.

Seller shall cooperate with any commercially reasonable request of Purchaser directed to accomplish the removal of Seller’s signage by Purchaser and the installation of Purchaser’s signage by Purchaser; provided, however, that (i) all such removals and all such installations shall be at the expense of Purchaser, (ii) such removals and installations shall be performed in such a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the normal business activities and operations of the Branches, (iii) such installed signage shall comply with the applicable 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 the Purchaser signage unreadable at all times prior to the Closing, but such cover shall display the name and/or logo of Seller (or of its Affiliates) in a manner reasonably acceptable to Seller. Purchaser agrees not to use any forms or other documents bearing Seller or any of its Affiliates’ name or logo after the Closing without the prior written consent of Seller, and, if such consent is given, Purchaser agrees that all such forms or other documents to which such consent relates will be stamped or otherwise marked in such a way that identifies Purchaser as the party using the form or other document.

7.10. Right of First Refusal.

(a) With respect to those branches of Seller or PNC located in the Pittsburgh MSA which are not Branches and where Seller or PNC owns both the real property and improvements thereon (the “Owned Pittsburgh Branches”), Seller and PNC, as applicable, each hereby grants Purchaser, through September 4, 2011, a right of first refusal with respect to any proposed transfer of such Owned Pittsburgh Branches (other than a transfer to an Affiliate of Seller or PNC who agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement) as set forth in this Section 7.10(a). Except with respect to a transfer to an Affiliate of Seller or PNC who agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, neither Seller nor PNC shall transfer any Owned Pittsburgh Branch, unless and until it shall have received a bona fide, legally binding offer in writing that includes the material economic terms on which such the transfer would occur (a “Transfer Offer”), which Seller or PNC, as applicable, desires to accept and pursuant to which Seller or PNC, as applicable, wishes to transfer such Owned Pittsburgh Branch. Neither Seller nor PNC shall accept a Transfer Offer without first giving Purchaser written notice (the “Transfer Notice”) containing an accurate and reasonably detailed description of each Owned Pittsburgh Branch proposed to be transferred pursuant to the Transfer Offer (the “Specified Owned Pittsburgh Branches”), the purchase price for the Specified Owned Pittsburgh Branches and other material economic terms of the Transfer Offer. Following receipt of such Transfer Notice, Purchaser may exercise its right to purchase the Specified Owned Pittsburgh Branches by giving written notice thereof (a “Specified Notice of Election”) to Seller or PNC, as applicable, within fifteen (15) calendar days of delivery of the Transfer Notice on terms no less favorable to Seller or PNC, as applicable, to those specified in the Transfer Offer. In the event that Purchaser does not deliver a Specified Notice of Election to Seller or PNC, as applicable, within fifteen (15) calendar days of delivery of the Transfer Notice, Seller or PNC, as applicable, may freely transfer the Specified Owned Pittsburgh Branches covered by the Transfer Offer, without further restriction under this Section 7.10(a) to the proposed transferee on terms substantially similar to those specified in the Transfer Offer within one hundred eighty (180) calendar days after Purchaser fails to exercise its right of first refusal. If Seller or PNC, as the case may be, does not consummate the transfer of the Specified Owned Pittsburgh Branches within such time period or upon such terms, the Specified Owned Pittsburgh Branches shall again become and remain subject to all of the rights of Purchaser under this Section 7.10(a).

(b) With respect to those branches of Seller or PNC located in the Pittsburgh MSA which are not Branches and where Seller or PNC leases both the real property and improvements thereon (a “Pittsburgh Branch Lease”), (i) if (x) a Pittsburgh Branch Lease expires, in accordance with its terms, within six (6) months of the Closing Date and (y) Seller or PNC, as the case may be, determines not to renew or extend such Pittsburgh Branch Lease, then Seller or PNC, as the case may be, will, at least fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the expiration of the applicable Pittsburgh Branch Lease, provide Purchaser with (1) notice of such expiration and (2) the name and contact information of the lessor under the applicable Pittsburgh Branch Lease, and (ii) if (x) the remaining term of a Pittsburgh Branch Lease, as of the Closing Date, is greater than or equal to six (6) months and (y) Seller or PNC, as the case may be, determines not to renew or extend such Pittsburgh Branch Lease, then Seller or PNC, as the case may be, shall use reasonable best efforts to assist Purchaser in working with the lessor under the applicable Pittsburgh Branch Lease to substitute Purchaser for Seller or PNC, as the case may be, as the lessee under the applicable Pittsburgh Branch Lease upon expiration of such Pittsburgh Branch Lease; provided, however, Seller or PNC, as the case may be, shall not be obligated to incur any fees or expenses in connection with the utilization of its reasonable best efforts under this Section 7.10(b).

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

8.2 Proration of Taxes. For purposes of this Agreement, in the case of any Straddle Period, (1) Property Taxes for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be equal to the amount of such Property Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the Straddle Period that are in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period, and (2) Taxes (other than Property Taxes) for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be computed as if such taxable period ended as of the close of business on the Closing Date.

8.3 Sales and Transfer Taxes. Purchaser shall pay all transfer, recording, sales, use (including all bulk sales Taxes) and other similar Taxes and fees (collectively, the “Transfer Taxes”), that are payable or that arise as a result of the P&A Transaction, when due. The party which has the primary obligation to do so under applicable Law shall file any Tax Return that is required to be filed in respect of Transfer Taxes described in this Section 8.3, and the other party shall cooperate with respect thereto as necessary. Purchaser shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against any such Taxes.

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

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

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

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

8.7 Transferred Employees. (a) At least fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the Closing Date and effective as of the Closing Date, Purchaser agrees that it shall offer employment to all Branch Employees (it being understood that offers of employment will be made to such employees of Seller or its Affiliates then working at the Branches and will also be subsequently extended to any individuals subsequently hired for employment at the Branches prior to the Closing Date), and will employ each Branch Employee who has not declined such offer, effective as of the Closing Date (or, with respect to a Branch Employee who is on (x) disability leave at the Closing Date, who actively commences employment with Purchaser within 180 calendar days after the Closing Date, or (y) military leave at the Closing Date, who actively commences employment with Purchaser within the time period mandated by applicable law, in each case effective as of the date such Branch Employee actively commences employment with Purchaser). On and after the Closing Date, each Branch Employee employed by Purchaser, as of the first day of such Branch Employee’s active employment with Purchaser or one of its Affiliates, shall be defined as a “Transferred Employee” for purposes of this Agreement. Each Transferred Employee’s employment with Seller shall cease as of the applicable Transfer Date. Subject to the provisions of this Section 8.7, Transferred Employees shall be subject to the employment terms, conditions and rules applicable to other similarly situated employees of Purchaser. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as an employment contract between Purchaser and any Branch Employee or Transferred Employee. For a period of five years following the Closing Date, Seller shall not, directly or through an affiliate or entity or otherwise, solicit for employment any Transferred Employee; provided, however, that nothing shall be deemed to prohibit Seller and/or its Affiliates from (i) using general solicitations not targeted at Transferred Employees (including, without limitation, job announcements in newspapers and industry publications or on the Internet), (ii) using employee search firms, so long as such employee search firms are not advised by Seller or its Affiliates after the date hereof to engage in targeted solicitations of Transferred Employees, (iii) discussing employment with any Transferred Employee who contacts Seller and/or its Affiliates independently without any solicitation by Seller or its Affiliates that is otherwise prohibited by this Section 8.7(a) or (iv) soliciting any Transferred Employee who ceases to be employed by Purchaser prior to Seller and/or any of its Affiliates soliciting such Transferred Employee.

(b) Each Transferred Employee shall be provided employment subject to the following terms and conditions:

	(i)		Base salary shall be at least equivalent to the rate of annual base salary or regular hourly wage rate, as applicable, paid by Seller to such Transferred Employee as of the Business Day prior to the Closing Date.
	(ii)		Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, from and after the Closing Date, each Transferred Employee shall be provided employee benefits and compensation opportunities that are substantially equivalent to those provided to similarly situated employees of the Purchaser in accordance with the terms of Purchaser’s employee benefit plans commencing on such Transferred Employee’s Transfer Date. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Purchaser shall provide each Transferred Employee with credit for such Transferred Employee’s period of service as recognized by Seller immediately prior to the applicable Transfer Date (including any service credited from predecessors by merger or acquisition to Seller) with respect to all of Purchaser’s employee benefit plans, practices and policies (but not for accrual of benefits under any defined benefit pension plan or post-retirement welfare benefit plan of the Purchaser), provided that such service shall not be recognized to the extent such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits and provided that such credit for prior service with Seller will not be provided with respect to the Purchaser’s employee stock ownership plan.

	(iii)		Each Transferred Employee shall be eligible to participate in the medical, dental, or other welfare plans of Purchaser, as such plans may exist, on and after the applicable Transfer Date, and any pre-existing conditions, provisions or actively at-work requirements of such plans shall be waived with respect to any such Transferred Employee (it being understood that general requirements of formal employment with Purchaser shall not be waived). All Transferred Employees who cease participation in a Seller’s medical and/or dental or other welfare plans on the applicable Transfer Date and become participants in a corresponding Purchaser plan shall receive credit for all co-payments and deductibles paid under Seller’s medical and dental plans, upon substantiation, in a form satisfactory to Purchaser that such co-payments and/or deductibles or portion thereof have been satisfied.
	(iv)		During the period from the Closing Date until the first anniversary thereof, Purchaser shall provide each Transferred Employee whose employment is terminated by the Purchaser or its Affiliates without cause, subject to such Transferred Employee’s execution and non-revocation of a release of claims, with severance benefits no less favorable to such Transferred Employee than those that would have been provided under the severance plans of Seller and its Affiliates applicable to such Transferred Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date.

(c) Except as provided in this Section 8.7, Seller shall remain solely responsible for any and all Liabilities and obligations arising under the employee benefit plans (or associated assets and liabilities) of Seller and its Affiliates with respect to service of the Transferred Employees prior to the Closing Date, and Purchaser shall not assume or otherwise acquire any of the employee benefit plans of Seller and its Affiliates. Seller shall pay, discharge, and be responsible for (i) all salary and wages arising out of employment of each Transferred Employee through the applicable Transfer Date , and (ii) any employee benefits (including, but not limited to, accrued vacation) arising under Seller’s employee benefit plans and employee programs prior to the applicable Transfer Date, including (x) benefits with respect to claims incurred prior to the Closing Date but reported after the Closing Date and (y) severance payable to any Branch Employee solely as a result of the cessation of such Branch Employee’s employment with Seller and its Affiliates pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the severance plan of Seller and its Affiliates applicable to such Branch Employee as of immediately prior to the Closing Date, it being understood that Purchaser shall be responsible for any such severance payable solely as a result of Purchaser’s failure to offer employment to such Branch Employee in accordance with Sections 8.7(a) and (b). From and after the applicable Transfer Date, Purchaser shall pay, discharge, and be responsible for all salary, wages, and benefits arising out of or relating to the employment of each Transferred Employee by Purchaser from and after the applicable Transfer Date, including, without limitation, all claims under Purchaser’s welfare benefits plans incurred after the applicable Transfer Date. Claims are incurred as of the date services are provided or disability payments are accrued, notwithstanding when the injury or illness may have occurred. Seller shall be responsible for all retiree medical claims and benefits under Seller’s retiree medical plans or programs with respect to the Transferred Employees and any former Branch Employees, such that the Purchaser shall have no liability with respect to any retiree medical plan maintained by Seller.

(d) As of the date of this Agreement, Branch Employees are able to participate in tax-qualified defined contribution retirement plans maintained by Seller and its Affiliates (collectively referred to as the “Seller Savings Plans”). On the Closing Date, the Branch Employees shall cease to participate in the Seller Savings Plans. Purchaser shall take all actions necessary and appropriate to ensure that, on or as soon as practicable after the Closing Date, Purchaser maintains or adopts one or more savings plans (hereinafter referred to in the aggregate as the “Purchaser Savings Plans” and individually as the “Purchaser Savings Plan”) effective as of the Closing Date and to ensure that each Purchaser Savings Plan is a tax-qualified, single-employer individual account plan under Section 401(a) of the Code. The Purchaser shall permit Transferred Employees to participate in such Purchaser Savings Plans as soon as administratively practicable following the Closing Date. The terms of the Purchaser Savings Plans, or each such Purchaser Savings Plan, shall provide that each Transferred Employee shall have the right to make a direct rollover to a Purchaser Savings Plan of his or her account in a Seller Savings Plan, including a direct rollover of any notes evidencing loans made to such Transferred Employee; provided that each Transferred Employee who elects to roll over an account in a Seller Savings Plan must roll over his or her entire account balance (including a rollover of any notes evidencing loans made to such Transferred Employee).

(e) Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to grant any Branch Employee a right to continued employment by, or to receive any payments or benefits from, Purchaser or Seller or their respective Affiliates or through any employee benefit plan. This Agreement shall not limit Purchaser’s or Purchaser’s Affiliate’s ability or right to amend or terminate any benefit or compensation plan or program of Purchaser or its Affiliates and nothing contained herein shall be construed as an amendment to or modification of any such plan. This Section 8.7 shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party to this Agreement, and nothing in this Section 8.7, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any other person, including, any current or former director, officer or employee of Seller or any of its Affiliates, any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Section 8.7.

(f) Seller shall take such additional actions with respect to agreements of certain employees of Seller as set forth in Seller Disclosure Schedule 8.7(f).

(g) With respect to each of the Relationship Managers, (i) Seller agrees to take the actions set forth on Schedule 8.7(g)(i) and (ii) Purchaser agrees to offer employment to the Relationship Managers on the terms and conditions set forth on Schedule 8.7(g)(ii). Purchaser shall be exclusively responsible for all payments due subsequent to the Closing Date under the Retention Agreements listed on Schedule 8.7(g)(iii).

ARTICLE 10

TERMINATION

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

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

(b) By Seller or Purchaser, in the event of a breach by the other of any representation, warranty or agreement contained herein which is not cured or cannot be cured within thirty (30) calendar days after written notice of such termination has been delivered to the breaching party and which would if occurring or continuing on the Closing Date, permit the terminating party not to consummate the P&A Transaction under the standard set forth in Sections 9.1(c) or 9.2(c), as applicable;

(c) By Seller, in the event the Regulatory Approvals have not been obtained on or prior to August 20, 2009;

(d) By Seller or Purchaser, in the event the Closing has not occurred by the date that is nine (9) months after the date of this Agreement, unless the failure to so consummate is due to a breach of this Agreement by the party seeking to terminate; or

(e) By either Seller or Purchaser, if any governmental agencies or authorities that must grant a Regulatory Approval has denied approval of the P&A Transaction or the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement or any governmental agency or authority of competent jurisdiction shall have issued a final and nonappealable order permanently enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of either the P&A Transaction or the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement.

10.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement and abandonment of the transactions contemplated hereby pursuant to Section 10.1, no party hereto (or any of its directors, officers, employees, agents or Affiliates) shall have any liability or further obligation to any other party, except as provided in Section 7.2(b) and except that neither Seller nor Purchaser shall be relieved or released from any liabilities or damages arising out of any willful breach of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 11

INDEMNIFICATION

11.1 Indemnification. (a) Subject to Section 12.1, Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and any person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by Purchaser from and against any and all Losses arising out of or attributable to the following:

	(i)		any material breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller in this Agreement, except for any representation or warranty set forth in Section 5.12 (which is subject to Section 11.1(a)(iv));
	(ii)		any material breach of any covenant or agreement to be performed by Seller pursuant to this Agreement;
	(iii)		any liability, obligation or duty of Seller that is not a Liability; and
	(iv)		any material breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller in Section 5.12, and, subject to Section 11.1(g), the presence of any hazardous substance at any of the Owned Real Property which is required, by any applicable Environmental Law, to be removed or otherwise remediated.

(b) Subject to Section 12.1, Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and any person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by Seller from and against any and all Losses arising out of or attributable to the following:

	(i)		any material breach of any representation or warranty made by Purchaser in this Agreement;
	(ii)		any material breach of any covenant or agreement to be performed by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement; or
	(iii)		the Liabilities.

(c) To exercise its indemnification rights under this Section 11.1 as a result of the assertion against it of any claim or potential liability for which indemnification is provided, the indemnified party shall promptly notify the indemnifying party of the assertion of such claim, discovery of any such potential liability or the commencement of any action or proceeding in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder (including, with respect to claims arising from a breach of representation or warranty made in Article 8, the commencement of an audit, administrative investigation or judicial proceeding by any governmental authority); provided, however, that in no event shall notice of claim for indemnification under this Agreement be given later than the expiration of one (1) year from the Closing Date (excluding only claims for indemnification under Section 11.1(a)(iv), which may be given at anytime within two (2) years from the Closing Date, and Sections 11.1(a)(iii) and 11.1(b)(iii), which may be given at any time); provided, further, that any delay or failure by the indemnified party to give notice shall relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder only to the extent, if at all, that the indemnifying party is actually and materially prejudiced by reason of such delay or failure. The indemnified party shall advise the indemnifying party of all facts relating to such assertion within the knowledge of the indemnified party, and shall afford the indemnifying party the opportunity, at the indemnifying party’s sole cost and expense, to defend against such claims for liability. In any such action or proceeding, the indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at its own expense unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party mutually agree to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such suit, action, or proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, and in the reasonable judgment of the indemnified party, representation of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party by the same counsel would be inadvisable due to actual or potential differing defenses or conflicts of interests between them.

(d) Neither party to this Agreement shall settle, compromise, discharge or consent to an entry of judgment with respect to a claim or liability subject to indemnification under this Article 11 without the other party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided that the indemnifying party may agree without the prior written consent of the indemnified party to any settlement, compromise, discharge or consent to an entry of judgment in each case that by its terms obligates the indemnifying party to pay the full amount of the liability in connection with such claim and which unconditionally releases the indemnified party from all liability in connection with such claim and which, in the case of Purchaser as an indemnified party, does not materially impair Purchaser’s use or enjoyment of any of its Real Property.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement:

(i) an indemnifying party shall not be liable under this Section 11.1, other than in respect of Sections 11.1(a)(iii), 11.1(a)(iv) and 11.1(b)(iii), for any Losses sustained by the indemnified party unless and until the aggregate amount of all indemnifiable Losses sustained by the indemnified party other than in respect of Sections 11.1(a)(iii), 11.1(a)(iv) and 11.1(b)(iii) shall exceed $1,000,000, in which event the indemnifying party shall provide indemnification hereunder in respect of all such indemnifiable Losses in excess of $1,000,000; provided, however, that any individual items where the loss relating thereto is less than $25,000 shall not be aggregated for purposes hereof; and provided, further, that the maximum aggregate amount of indemnification payments payable by Seller or Purchaser pursuant to this Section 11.1, other than in respect of Sections 11.1(a)(iii), 11.1(a)(iv) and 11.1(b)(iii), shall be $49,000,000.

(ii) Seller shall not be liable under Section 11.1(a)(iv) for any Losses sustained by the indemnified party unless and until the aggregate amount of all indemnifiable Losses sustained by the indemnified party in respect thereof shall exceed $500,000, in which event Seller shall provide indemnification hereunder in respect of all such indemnifiable Losses in excess of $500,000; provided, however, that any individual items where the loss relating thereto is less than $25,000 shall not be aggregated for purposes hereof; and provided, further, that the maximum aggregate amount of indemnification payments payable by Seller pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(iv) shall be $2,500,000.

(iii) In no event shall either party hereto be entitled to consequential or punitive damages or damages for lost profits in any action relating to the subject matter of this Agreement.

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

(g) Purchaser shall not have any right to indemnification under Section 11.1(a)(iv) unless (i) Purchaser promptly informs Seller of Purchaser’s discovery of any hazardous substances and (ii) Purchaser sends Seller a written notice of claim for indemnification specifying with reasonable particularity the nature, extent and location of the hazardous substances within forty-five (45) calendar days of Purchaser’s discovery of same. Prior to Purchaser incurring any indemnifiable costs under Section 11.1(a)(iv), Purchaser shall submit a remediation plan and detailed cost estimate for Seller’s reasonable review and approval. Seller shall also have the right, at its sole option, to remove or otherwise remediate any such hazardous substances from the applicable Owned Real Property, in which case Purchaser shall have no right to indemnification for such hazardous substances (provided that Seller notifies Purchaser, within thirty (30) calendar days from receipt of Purchaser’s claim for indemnification, of Seller’s intention to do so and provided Seller shall, without unreasonable delay, remove or remediate such hazardous substances).

11.2 Exclusivity. After the Closing, except as expressly set forth in Sections 2.5, 4.9 and 8.3, and except in the case of common law fraud relating to the entry into this Agreement, this Article 11 will provide the exclusive remedy for any misrepresentation, breach of warranty, covenant or other agreement or other claim arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; provided that it is understood and agree that the foregoing shall not prevent a party from obtaining specific performance, injunctive relief or any other available non-monetary equitable remedy.

11.3 AS-IS Sale; Waiver of Warranties. Except as set forth in Article 5 and Section 8.1, Purchaser acknowledges that the Assets and Liabilities are being sold and accepted on an “AS-IS-WHERE-IS” basis, and are being accepted without any representation or warranty. As part of Purchaser’s agreement to purchase and accept the Assets and Liabilities AS-IS-WHERE-IS, and not as a limitation on such agreement, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SELLER HEREBY DISCLAIMS AND PURCHASER HEREBY UNCONDITIONALLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND RELEASES ANY AND ALL ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL RIGHTS PURCHASER MIGHT HAVE AGAINST SELLER OR ANY PERSON DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY CONTROLLING SELLER REGARDING ANY FORM OF WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OF ANY KIND OR TYPE, RELATING TO THE ASSETS AND LIABILITIES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE LOANS AND/OR THE COLLATERAL THEREFOR EXCEPT THOSE SET FORTH IN ARTICLE 5 AND SECTION 8.1. SUCH WAIVER AND RELEASE IS, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ABSOLUTE, COMPLETE, TOTAL AND UNLIMITED IN EVERY WAY. SUCH WAIVER AND RELEASE INCLUDES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO, A WAIVER AND RELEASE OF EXPRESS WARRANTIES (EXCEPT THOSE SET FORTH IN ARTICLE 5 AND SECTION 8.1), IMPLIED WARRANTIES, WARRANTIES OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR USE, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, WARRANTIES OF HABITABILITY, STRICT LIABILITY RIGHTS AND CLAIMS OF EVERY KIND AND TYPE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO CLAIMS REGARDING DEFECTS WHICH WERE NOT OR ARE NOT DISCOVERABLE, ALL OTHER EXTANT OR LATER CREATED OR CONCEIVED OF STRICT LIABILITY OR STRICT LIABILITY TYPE CLAIMS AND RIGHTS.

ARTICLE 12

MISCELLANEOUS

12.1 Survival. The parties’ respective representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall survive until the first anniversary of the Closing Date, and thereafter neither party may claim any Loss in relation to a breach thereof; provided, however, that each of the representations and warranties of Seller set forth in Section 5.8 insofar as such Section may relate to one or more Loans, shall survive the Closing Date for a period of one hundred twenty (120) calendar days, and thereafter neither party may claim any damage for breach thereof. The agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement shall not survive the Closing except to the extent expressly contemplating performance thereafter.

(b) No claim based on any breach of any representation or warranty shall be valid or made unless notice with respect thereto is given to the indemnifying party in accordance with this Agreement on or before the date specified in Section 11.1(c).

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

Purchaser and Seller each agree that, without the other party’s prior written consent, it shall not release or disclose any of the terms or conditions of the transactions contemplated herein to any other person.
