W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, pursuant to the purchase and assumption agreement (a true and complete copy of which has been provided to Purchaser), dated as of February 19, 2010 (the “FDIC Agreement”), by and among Seller, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, in its capacity as Receiver (the “Receiver”) of La Jolla Bank, FSB (the “Failed Bank”) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, acting in its corporate capacity, Seller purchased certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of the Failed Bank, including the Deposit Liabilities;

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 4.6 and Section 4.8 of the FDIC Agreement, Seller has the option to purchase certain assets and assume certain leases and agreements, including the Transferred Banking Center (as defined below);

Section 1.2                                    Purchase Price.

(a)                                 As consideration for the purchase of the Transferred Assets, Purchaser shall pay Seller a purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) equal to the sum of the following:

(1)                                 a premium (the “Deposit Premium”) for the Deposit Liabilities and franchise value related to the Transferred Banking Center equal to one-half percent (0.5%) of the average balance of the Deposit Liabilities for the twenty (20) calendar days ending on the fifth business day prior to the Closing Date, but in no event shall the Deposit Premium exceed $780,000, and the amount of such premium shall remain confidential unless required to be disclosed by law or in connection with any regulatory application, notice, requirement or examination;

(b)                                 In addition, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, Purchaser shall assume as of the Effective Time all of the duties, obligations and liabilities of Seller (including all of Seller’s duties and obligations existing or required to be performed after the Effective Time under Sections 2.2, 2.3, 4.9, 4.11, 5.1, 5.2, 6.3, 6.4, 9.1, 9.4, 9.5, 9.6(b) and 9.7 of the FDIC Agreement with respect to the Transferred Assets and the Assumed Liabilities, subject to any limitations stated herein (the “FDIC Obligations”)) relating to periods on or after the Effective Time relating to the Transferred Assets and the Assumed Liabilities (including all accrued interest relating to the Deposit Liabilities), and Purchaser shall also assume liability for all Taxes relating to the Transferred Assets or the Assumed Liabilities for taxable periods (or portions thereof) after the Effective Time; provided, however, that any cash items paid by Seller and not cleared prior to the Effective Time shall be the responsibility of Seller, subject to the terms of Section 3.12.

(c)                                  Seller shall prepare a balance sheet substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.2(c) (the “Pre-Closing Balance Sheet”) as of a date not earlier than twenty (20) calendar days prior to the Effective Time anticipated by the parties reflecting the book value of the Transferred Assets and the Assumed Liabilities as carried on the books of Seller and

3

prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as in effect as of the date of this Agreement. Seller agrees to pay to Purchaser at the Closing, in immediately available funds, the excess amount of Deposit Liabilities assumed by Purchaser pursuant to subsection (b) above, as reflected by the Pre-Closing Balance Sheet, over the aggregate Purchase Price computed in accordance with subsection (a) above, as reflected by the Pre-Closing Balance Sheet.  The amounts paid at Closing shall be subject to subsequent adjustment based on the Post-Closing Balance Sheet.

Section 1.3                                    Assumed Liabilities.

(a)                                 “Deposit Liabilities” shall mean all of Seller’s duties, obligations and liabilities relating to the deposit accounts (except as set forth in Section 1.3(c)(2)) associated with the Transferred Banking Center as of the Effective Time (including accrued but unpaid or uncredited interest thereon) and any other deposits listed or to be listed with Purchaser’s approval in Exhibit 1.3(a), but excluding all brokered deposits, all CDARs, all deposits, if any, that were originally solicited via a money desk, internet subscription service or similar program and any deposits which secure loans not acquired by the Purchaser.  A preliminary list of the Deposit Liabilities is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.3(a), which shall be updated by Seller as soon as practicable after the Closing.

(b)                                 As of the Effective Time, Purchaser shall assume all of the FDIC Obligations.

(c)                                  Except for the Deposit Liabilities, those liabilities and obligations assumed by Purchaser under Section 1.2(b) and Section 1.3(b) of this Agreement and except for Purchaser’s obligations to Seller hereunder (collectively, the “Assumed Liabilities”), Purchaser is not assuming any liabilities or obligations of any kind, whether known or unknown, contingent or otherwise (the “Excluded Liabilities”).  Unless otherwise provided herein, Purchaser hereby agrees to, as of the Effective Time, assume, honor and discharge all of Seller’s duties and obligations under the Assumed Liabilities.  Excluded Liabilities include any duty, obligation or liability:

(1)                                 under Seller’s official checks, cashier checks, letters of credit, money orders, interest checks and expense checks issued prior to the Closing, consignments of U.S. Government “E” and “EE” bonds and any and all traveler’s checks;

(2)                                 under deposit accounts associated with qualified retirement plans where Seller is the trustee of such plan or the sponsor of a prototype plan used by such plan;

(3)                                 not directly relating to the Transferred Assets or Assumed Liabilities;

(4)                                 based on environmental conditions or liabilities arising from or related to the Excluded Assets;

(5)                                 attributable to any acts or omissions or to any act taken or omitted to be taken by or on behalf of Seller (or any of its affiliates) or any other person or entity

4

prior to the Effective Time in violation of any applicable laws, contracts or legal or fiduciary duties;

(6)                                 for Taxes of Seller for all taxable periods and for Taxes of Seller relating to or incurred in connection with the ownership, business or operations of the Transferred Assets or the Assumed Liabilities during the period Seller has operated the Transferred Banking Center (the “Ownership Period”), in each case, subject to Section 1.9;

(7)                                 except as expressly set forth in Section 1.4, (i) in respect of compensation and benefits of Employees (including the employment or termination of any Employee, in the case of each Employee who is not a Transferred Employee, relating to any period, and in the case of a Transferred Employee relating to any period prior to the time such Employee became employed by Purchaser as contemplated hereby) and (ii) for Losses with respect to (A) the benefit plans of Seller or its affiliates, the Receiver or the Failed Bank in which any Employee has participated, including Losses in respect of such plans that arise under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and the rules and regulations thereunder (“ERISA”) or the continuation coverage requirements of COBRA or (B) pay or pay in lieu of notice under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act of 1988 in connection with Employee terminations, in each case whether arising before or after the Effective Time, and in each case to the extent relating to the employment of the Employees by Seller or its affiliates, the Receiver or the Failed Bank;

(8)                                 for interest on Deposit Liabilities above the repriced rate that was determined by Seller; or

(9)                                 under the FDIC Agreement, except as otherwise provided herein.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is not the intention that the assumption by Purchaser of the Assumed Liabilities shall in any way enlarge the rights of any third parties relating thereto.  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent either party hereto from contesting matters relating to the Assumed Liabilities with any third-party obligee.  Except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement, from and after the Effective Time, (A) Purchaser shall have complete control over the payment, settlement or other disposition of the Assumed Liabilities and the right to commence, control and conduct all negotiations and proceedings with respect thereto, and (B) Seller shall retain complete control over the payment, settlement or other disposition of the Excluded Liabilities and the right to commence, control and conduct all negotiations and proceedings with respect thereto.  Except as otherwise specifically provided in Article III or any transition plan entered into thereunder, after the Effective Time (i) Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser of any claim made against Seller with respect to the Assumed Liabilities or the Transferred Assets, and shall not make any payment of, settle or offer to settle, or consent or compromise or admit liability with respect to, any Assumed Liabilities or Transferred Assets and (ii) Purchaser shall promptly notify Seller of any claim made against Purchaser with respect to the Excluded Liabilities or the Excluded Assets, and shall not make any payment of, settle or offer to settle, or consent or compromise or admit liability with respect to, any Excluded Liabilities or Excluded Assets.

Section 1.4                                    Employee Matters.

(a)                                 Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate in order to allow Purchaser to interview persons employed by Seller at the Transferred Banking Center as of the date of this Agreement (“Employees”) at a location and at a time during regular business hours reasonably convenient to Purchaser and Seller, and Seller shall excuse such Employees from their duties for such interviews, so long as such interviews do not unduly interfere with the operations of the Transferred Banking Center.  Such interviews shall be scheduled for completion not later than thirty (30) calendar days after the date of this Agreement.  Purchaser shall offer at-will employment to such Employees as Purchaser determines (the “Selected Employees”).  Purchaser’s job offers shall provide for hourly rates of pay or annual base salaries, as applicable, in amounts no less than those in effect for each Selected Employee as of the date of this Agreement, and for benefits no less beneficial in the aggregate than benefits offered by Purchaser to similarly situated employees of Purchaser.  Purchaser shall have no obligation to create new benefit plans or programs that would be comparable to any of Seller’s existing benefit plans.  Subject to timely enrollment, if required, and to the extent permitted by the terms of any applicable insurance policies, Selected Employees who become employees of Purchaser as of the Effective Time (“Transferred Employees”) and their dependents, if any, shall, as of the Effective Time, be eligible to participate in Purchaser’s welfare benefit plans, and, in any medical plan, without being subject to any pre-existing condition or actively-at-work limitations or exclusions.  To the extent that a Transferred Employee becomes eligible to participate in an employee benefit plan maintained by Purchaser or one of its affiliates, Purchaser shall cause such plan to recognize the service of such Transferred Employee with the Seller and its subsidiaries (including any service recognized by Seller or its subsidiaries with respect to a Transferred Employee’s service with the Failed Bank and any of its subsidiaries) for purposes of eligibility and vesting, but not for benefit accruals or the rate of benefit accruals under the applicable Purchaser plan, unless otherwise provided herein.  All Transferred Employees shall be subject to Purchaser’s paid time off (“PTO”) policies; provided that all such employees shall be given full credit for pre-Closing years of service with Seller and any of its subsidiaries (including any service recognized by Seller or its subsidiaries with respect to a Transferred Employee’s service with the Failed Bank and any of its subsidiaries) for PTO accrual purposes under Purchaser’s PTO policy as it applies to PTO accrued after the Effective Time.  Prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall pay Employees for all accrued but unpaid PTO or vacation time or floating holidays as applicable, earned prior to the Closing Date.  Benefits under Purchaser’s pension plans, if any, for Transferred Employees shall be determined solely with reference to service with Purchaser.

(b)                                 Purchaser shall have no liabilities (including severance or other benefit payments), responsibilities or rights with respect to any Employee whose employment shall be terminated for any reason on or prior to the Effective Time or who does not become an employee of Purchaser.  All eligible Employee welfare benefit claims relating to Transferred Employees incurred prior to the Effective Time, whether or not reported as of the Effective Time, will be the obligation of Seller and Seller’s benefit plans and will not be the obligation of Purchaser.  All eligible Employee welfare benefit claims relating to Transferred Employees incurred on or after the Effective Time under a Purchaser benefit plan will be the obligation of Purchaser and Purchaser’s benefit plans and will not be the obligation of Seller.  For purposes of this Agreement, the following claims shall be deemed to be incurred as follows:  (i) life, accidental death and dismemberment and business travel accident insurance benefits, upon the death or date

6

of accident giving rise to such benefits, (ii) health, vision, dental and/or prescription drug benefits, on the date that such services, materials or supplies were provided, and (iii) long-term disability benefits, on the commencement of the disability.  Seller agrees that, for a period of twenty-four (24) months after the Effective Time, it will not solicit for employment any Transferred Employee who remains employed by Purchaser; provided, however, that Seller may undertake general solicitations (i) on a regional or national basis that are not directed primarily to persons in the markets served by the Transferred Banking Center, (ii) that are not directed primarily to Transferred Employees, and (iii) that do not use any records primarily relating to the Transferred Banking Center, including any list of the Employees or any records relating to the performance or qualifications of Employees.

(c)                                  Any Transferred Employee whose employment is terminated by Purchaser within twelve (12) months after the Effective Time for any reason other than cause or death shall be entitled to receive a severance benefit, to be paid by Purchaser, limited to one (1) week of base pay for each year of service with Purchaser, Seller and any of its subsidiaries or the Failed Bank and any of its subsidiaries, with a minimum benefit of four (4) weeks and with a maximum benefit of twenty-four (24) weeks.  Seller shall be responsible for any severance benefits, as applicable, for any employee of the Transferred Banking Center whose employment is terminated prior to the Effective Time.

(d)                                 No provision of this Section 1.4, whether express or implied, shall create any third-party beneficiary rights in any Employee (including any beneficiary or dependent of such Employee).  Nothing contained herein shall prevent Purchaser from terminating the employment of any Transferred Employee or amending or terminating the terms of any particular benefit plan maintained by Purchaser.

Section 1.5                                    Books and Records.

(a)                                 As of the Effective Time, subject to applicable law, Seller shall assign, transfer, convey and deliver to Purchaser all files, documents and records in Seller’s possession to the extent that they pertain to and are utilized by Seller to administer, monitor, evidence or record information respecting the Transferred Assets and Assumed Liabilities, including all account history related to the Deposit Liabilities and all such files, documents and records maintained on electronic or magnetic media in the electronic database system of Seller that are reasonably accessible on a branch-by-branch basis, and, to the extent permitted by law, including copies of all personnel files relating to the Transferred Employees; provided, Seller shall retain the electronic transaction records (but not the customer identification records) relating to the Deposit Liabilities (the “Retained Records”).  Such files, documents and records shall include all materials set forth in Section 6.1 of the FDIC Agreement with respect to the Transferred Assets, Assumed Liabilities and Transferred Banking Center that are in Seller’s possession except for the Retained Records.  Purchaser agrees, at Seller’s expense, to return to Seller all files, documents and records located in the Transferred Banking Center to the extent that they do not relate to Transferred Assets or to Assumed Liabilities and Purchaser agrees not to make any use of such records or documents and to keep such records and documents confidential in accordance with Section 11.5.  Seller will provide Purchaser with (1) access to the Retained Records in accordance with Section 1.5(c) and (2) research with respect to information contained in such Retained Records without charge for sixty (60) calendar days after the Closing Date and at

7

Seller’s customary rates for providing such research and related copies of such research thereafter.

(b)                                 As to any file, document, or record, as of the time of transfer and until any return thereof to Seller, Purchaser shall become responsible for maintaining such file, document or record transferred to it pursuant hereto.  Purchaser will preserve and hold such files, documents and records in safekeeping as required by applicable law and in accordance with Purchaser’s customary practices.

(c)                                  After the Effective Time, Purchaser will permit Seller and its representatives, at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, except as set forth in Section 1.5(d), to examine, inspect, copy and reproduce any such files, documents or records, to the extent reasonably required in connection with any third-party claim, action, litigation or other proceeding involving Seller or its affiliates or in connection with any legal obligation owed by Seller or its affiliates to any present or former depositor or obligor or other customer of the Transferred Banking Center or any governmental authority with jurisdiction over Seller or Seller’s parent company (or any subsidiaries of either), including for purposes of preparing regulatory reports and Tax Returns.

(d)                                 Except to the extent such records were required to be transferred pursuant to Section 1.5 and were not so transferred (in which case the records shall be provided at no cost), the party providing copies of records may charge its customary rate for research and for the cost of providing such copies, including its personnel costs.

(e)                                  Purchaser agrees to assume Seller’s obligations with respect to compliance with Sections 6.3 and 6.4 of the FDIC Agreement with respect to any books and records transferred to the Purchaser pursuant to this Section 1.5.  Purchaser will retain all records (1) transferred hereunder and (2) generated after the Effective Time with respect to the Transferred Assets and Assumed Liabilities, in each case, for at least the period during which Seller is required to retain such records under Section 6.3 of the FDIC Agreement and will permit the Receiver access to such records to the extent provided in Section 6.4 of the FDIC Agreement.

Section 1.6                                    Security.  As of the Effective Time, Purchaser shall become solely responsible for the security of and insurance on all persons and property located in or about the Transferred Banking Center.

Section 1.7                                    Taxes and Fees; Proration of Certain Expenses.  Each of Purchaser and Seller shall be responsible for 50% of any Transfer Taxes that may be imposed on the purchase and sale of the Transferred Assets.  “Transfer Taxes” means all sales, use, value added, excise, registration, documentary, stamp, transfer, real property transfer, recording, gains and other similar Taxes and fees (together with any interest, penalties or additions to Tax or additional amount imposed).  The parties shall cooperate in good faith to minimize such Transfer Taxes to the extent legally permissible.  Utility payments, telephone charges, real property Taxes, personal property Taxes, rent, salaries, deposit insurance premiums, other ordinary operating expenses of the Transferred Banking Center and other expenses related to the Assumed Liabilities or Transferred Assets (including, for the avoidance of doubt, if necessary, any prepaid premiums or assessments related to insurance of the Deposit Liabilities by the FDIC) shall be

8

prorated between the parties as of the Effective Time.  To the extent not otherwise reflected in the Post-Closing Balance Sheet, (a) if any such item that is subject to proration has been prepaid by Seller for a period extending beyond the Effective Time, there shall be a proportionate monetary adjustment in favor of Seller, and (b) if any such item that is subject to proration has not been paid by Seller for a period prior to the Effective Time and is paid by Purchaser, there shall be a proportionate monetary adjustment in favor of Purchaser.  Purchaser and Seller shall apportion pro rata all real property and personal property Taxes paid or payable in connection with the Assumed Assets.  Such apportionment shall be made on a per diem basis as of the Closing Date and shall be based upon the fiscal year for which the same are assessed. In the event that the applicable tax bill, or other information reasonably necessary for computing any such apportionment is not available on the Closing Date, the apportionment shall be made at Closing on the basis of the next-preceding fiscal year’s real property and personal property Taxes. Within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt by the parties of the applicable tax bill or other information reasonably necessary for computing such apportionment, Purchaser and Seller shall apportion the actual Taxes and, if either party paid more than its proper share thereof at Closing, the other party shall promptly reimburse such party for the amount so expended.

Section 1.8                                    Allocation of the Purchase Price.  Seller and Purchaser agree to allocate the Purchase Price in accordance with the rules under Section 1060 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the “Code”) and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.  Such allocation shall be based on the fair market value of the Transferred Assets.  Purchaser agrees to provide Seller with a schedule allocating the Purchase Price and with a properly completed Internal Revenue Service Form 8594 within ninety (90) calendar days following the Closing Date.  If Seller objects to any items reflected on the schedule provided by Purchaser, Seller shall have the right to notify Purchaser of such objection, in which case Seller and Purchaser shall attempt to resolve the disagreement.  In the event such disagreement is not resolved within fifteen (15) calendar days following the date that Seller gives its objection, Seller and Purchaser shall mutually select and retain a nationally recognized independent appraiser (where such costs shall be borne equally between Seller and Purchaser) to prepare an allocation schedule which Seller and Purchaser agree to accept and be bound by.  Seller and Purchaser agree to act in accordance with the computations and allocations contained in the schedule as finally agreed or determined by such independent appraiser in any relevant Tax Returns or similar filings, including any forms or reports required to be filed pursuant to Section 1060 of the Code or the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and to file such forms in the manner required by applicable law.

9

Section 1.9                                    Property.  Seller agrees to deliver to Purchaser within thirty (30) calendar days after execution of this Agreement true, accurate and complete copies of (i) a fully executed amended Banking Center Lease and (ii) all information regarding title and the condition of the Property in possession or control of Seller and to use its commercially reasonable efforts to deliver such information to the extent available to Seller from the Receiver, including environmental and health and safety reports, property condition reports and easements relating to the Property.

Section 1.10                             Environmental Matters.

(a)                                 Purchaser and its advisors and agents may conduct a Phase I Environmental Assessment for the Leased Property, with the costs of such Phase I Environmental Assessments borne solely by Purchaser.  If the Phase I Environmental Assessment contains a recommendation that additional investigation should be undertaken with respect to certain environmental or health and safety conditions at the Leased Property, then Purchaser and its advisors and agents may conduct Phase II Environmental Assessments at its sole expense with respect to conditions about which the Phase I Environmental Assessment recommends additional investigation.

(b)                                 If, on or prior to July 30, 2010, Purchaser notifies Seller in writing that a Phase II Environmental Assessment obtained pursuant to Section 1.10(a) or a Phase I Environmental Assessment obtained pursuant to Section 1.10(a) (to the extent not inconsistent with the findings of any Phase II Environmental Assessment obtained pursuant to Section 1.10(a)) states that a condition at the Transferred Banking Center requires remediation under Environmental Laws or would be remediated by a reasonable person taking into account the facility’s intended uses and occupancy, potential health risks, and potential liability exposure, such condition shall be deemed a “Remediation Condition.”  Seller may, at its election (i) fully remediate the Remediation Conditions at its own expense in a reasonably prompt manner to concentration levels in soil and groundwater that do not exceed the Tier 1 protective concentration levels for commercial/industrial uses provided pursuant to the Texas Risk Reduction Program, 30 T.A.C. Chapter 350 or (ii) advise Purchaser that it will not remediate the Remediation Conditions.  Seller shall advise Purchaser in writing of its decision within five (5) calendar days after the Purchaser gives Seller notice of Remediation Conditions.

(c)                                  If Seller elects to remediate the Remediation Conditions, Seller will complete the full remediation of the Remediation Conditions to Purchaser’s reasonable satisfaction and provide Purchaser with evidence of such completion as described above prior to the Closing Date.  If Seller elects not to remediate the Remediation Conditions and so advises Purchaser in writing or if Seller advises Purchaser in writing that it was unable to remediate the Remediation Condition in accordance with Section 1.10(b) or if Purchaser is not reasonably satisfied with Seller’s efforts to remediate the Remediation Conditions, then Purchaser may in its discretion elect to not assume the Banking Center Lease by providing written notice of such election to the Seller within five (5) calendar days after Seller advises Purchaser that it will not remediate the Remediation Conditions, Purchaser advises Seller that Purchaser is not reasonably satisfied with Seller’s efforts to remediate the Remediation Conditions or Seller provides notice to Purchaser that it failed to remediate the Remediation Condition in accordance with Section 1.10(b).  If Purchaser elects not to assume the Banking Center Lease pursuant to this

10

Section 1.10(c), Purchaser will still be required to purchase all of the Transferred Assets (other than the Banking Center Lease and the Equipment Leases) and to assume all of the Assumed Liabilities (other than those related to or arising from the Banking Center Lease and the Equipment Leases).  If Purchaser elects not to assume the Banking Center Lease pursuant to this Section 1.10(c), and if Purchaser instructs Seller to promptly give notice of termination to all vendors under the related Assignable Contracts, then Seller shall inform the FDIC of its decision not to exercise its option to assume certain contracts relating to the Transferred Banking Center pursuant to Section 4.8 of the FDIC Agreement.

(d)                                 Purchaser agrees to notify Seller within a reasonable time in advance of any examinations that may be scheduled pursuant to this Section 1.10 and to permit Seller and its contractors, consultants, agents and representatives to be present during such examinations.  Seller agrees to provide Purchaser with such access to the properties, facilities, and relevant personnel as reasonably necessary to conduct such examinations and to take all commercially reasonable efforts to secure sufficient access to the Leased Property.  Purchaser and its contractors, consultants, agents and representatives shall not unreasonably disturb or interfere with the business activities or operations of the Transferred Banking Center nor will Purchaser’s contractors harm or damage the interior finishes or surfaces of any real property improvements or personalty except to the minimum extent necessary in connection with the testing otherwise authorized hereunder.  Purchaser agrees to promptly reimburse the Seller for the cost of repairs to interior finishes or surfaces or other parts of the Leased Property which may be damaged in connection with the authorized testing.

(e)                                  For the purpose of this Section 1.10, “Phase I Environmental Assessment” means an environmental assessment that is consistent with ASTM 1527-05 and that may include, at Purchaser’s election, an assessment of the presence, amount, physical condition and location of asbestos-containing materials, lead-based paint and toxic mold.  For the purpose of this Section 1.10, “Phase II Environmental Assessment” means an intensified environmental assessment designed to further define previously identified conditions, circumstances or risks and that may include physical sampling and analysis of paint, building materials or any environmental medium (including air, indoor air, surface water, groundwater, soil, and subsurface strata).

Section 1.11                             Individual Retirement Accounts.  With respect to Deposit Liabilities in individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”), Seller will use its commercially 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 of Seller’s authority and responsibility as custodian of all such Deposit Liabilities (except self-directed IRAs), including sending to the depositors thereof appropriate notices, cooperating with Purchaser in soliciting consents from such depositors and filing any appropriate applications with applicable governmental authorities.  If any such delegation is made to Purchaser, Purchaser will perform all of the duties so delegated and comply with the terms of Seller’s agreement with the depositor of the IRA Deposit Liabilities affected thereby.  If, notwithstanding the foregoing, as of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall be unable to retain deposit liabilities in respect of an IRA, such deposit liabilities shall be excluded from Deposit Liabilities for purposes of this Agreement, including the purchase price provisions contained in Section 1.2(a)(1).

(b)                                 Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the determination of the Post-Closing Balance Sheet shall be final and binding on the parties hereto, unless within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt by Purchaser of the Post-Closing Balance Sheet, Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing of its disagreement with any amount included therein or omitted therefrom, in which case, if the parties are unable to resolve the disputed items within ten (10) business days of the receipt by Seller of notice of such disagreement, such items shall be determined by a nationally recognized independent accounting firm selected by mutual agreement between Seller and Purchaser; provided, however, that in the event the fees of such firm as estimated by such firm would exceed fifty percent (50%) of the net amount in dispute, the parties agree that such firm will not be engaged by either party and that such net amount in dispute will be equally apportioned between Seller, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand.  Such accounting firm shall be instructed to resolve the disputed items within ten (10) business days of engagement, to the extent reasonably practicable.  The determination of such accounting firm shall be final and binding on the parties hereto.  The fees of any such accounting firm shall be divided equally between Seller and Purchaser.

(c)                                  Not later than the close of business on the second (2nd) business day following the determination of the Post-Closing Balance Sheet (the “Adjustment Payment Date”), Seller and Purchaser shall effect the transfer of any funds as may be necessary to reflect changes in the Transferred Assets and Assumed Liabilities between the Pre-Closing Balance

14

Sheet and the Post-Closing Balance Sheet and resulting changes in the Purchase Price, together with interest thereon computed from the Effective Time up to, but not including, the Adjustment Payment Date at the rate quoted for Federal Funds in the Money Rates Column of the WALL STREET JOURNAL, adjusted daily, for the period beginning with the first calendar day following the Effective Time and ending with the Adjustment Payment Date (the “Federal Funds Rate”).

(d)                                 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.3, if at any time within three (3) months after the delivery of the Post-Closing Balance Sheet either party discovers an error in the Post-Closing Balance Sheet that resulted in the Purchase Price actually paid, as adjusted pursuant to this Section 2.3 (“Original Price”), being at least $50,000, individually or in the aggregate with all such errors, more or less than the Purchase Price would have been but for such error (“Revised Price”), and notifies the other party thereof, the parties agree to cooperate in good faith to correct the error.  If the parties disagree on the existence or magnitude of an error within ten (10) business days after notice thereof, such matter shall be resolved by an independent accounting firm in the same manner as described above for resolving disputed items; provided, however, that in the event the fees of such firm as estimated by such firm would exceed fifty percent (50%) of the net amount in dispute, the parties agree that such firm will not be engaged by either party and that such net amount in dispute will be equally apportioned between Seller, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand.  Upon the determination of the Revised Price, the appropriate party shall pay an amount to the other party that is the difference between the amount actually paid by such party pursuant to Section 2.2, as adjusted pursuant to the other paragraphs of this Section 2.3, and the amount that such party would have paid to the other if the Original Price had been equal to the Revised Price, together with interest thereon computed from the Effective Time up to, but not including, the second (2nd) business day following determination of the Revised Price at the applicable Federal Funds Rate.

Section 4.3                                    Claims for Indemnity.

(a)                                 A claim for indemnity shall be made by the claiming party at any time prior to the applicable Claim Limitation Anniversary (as defined below) by the giving of written notice thereof to the other party.  Such written notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis upon which such claim for indemnity is made.  In the event that any bona fide claim is made within such period, the indemnity relating to such claim shall survive until such claim is resolved.  No claim for indemnity under Section 4.1 or Section 4.2 may be made at any time at or after the date eighteen (18) months following the Effective Time (excluding claims for indemnity with respect to the covenants contained in Section 1.5(e), Section 7.10(b), Section 7.10(c), Section 7.11 and Section 7.12 (collectively, the “FDIC Covenants”), as such claims may be made until February 19, 2020, claims for indemnity with respect to the representations and warranties contained in Section 5.7, and Section 5.15, as such claims may be made for the applicable statute of limitations period, and claims for indemnity with respect to the representations and warranties contained in Section 5.11, as such claims may be made until February 19, 2020 and no indemnity for claims under Section 4.1 or Section 4.2 shall be available thereafter in accordance with the provisions of this Article IV.  The applicable claim limitation period, as provided in the preceding sentence, is hereby referred to as the “Claim Limitation Anniversary.”

(b)                                 In the event that any person or entity not a party hereto shall make any demand or claim or file or threaten to file any lawsuit, which demand, claim or lawsuit could result in any Loss to a party hereto of the kind for which such party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 4.1 or Section 4.2, such indemnified party shall notify the indemnifying party of such demand, claim or lawsuit in writing within thirty (30) calendar days of such demand, claim, filing or threat specifying in reasonable detail the source of the Loss or potential Loss; provided, however, that any failure by the indemnified party to so notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to be given such notice.  Following receipt of notice of a demand, claim or lawsuit, the indemnifying party shall have the option, at its cost and expense, to assume the defense of such matter and to retain counsel (not reasonably

23

objected to by the indemnified party) to defend any such demand, claim or lawsuit, and the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses (except as expressly provided to the contrary herein) with respect to the defense of such claim or litigation, other than reasonable fees and expenses of counsel employed by the indemnified party for any period during which the indemnifying party has not assumed the defense thereof.  If the indemnifying party elects to defend, compromise or settle such demand, claim or lawsuit, the indemnified party shall cooperate in the defense against, or compromise or settlement of, such demand, claim or lawsuit, including making available to the indemnifying party any personnel or any books, records or other documents within its control that are reasonably necessary or appropriate for such defense.  The indemnified party shall have the option of participating in (but not controlling) the defense of such demand, claim or lawsuit with counsel reasonably acceptable to the indemnifying party (which shall be at the cost and expense of the indemnified party unless (1) counsel to the indemnified party reasonably determines in writing that joint representation would be inappropriate due to a conflict or potential conflict of interest or the availability of defenses not available to the indemnifying party or (2) the indemnifying party fails to assume the defense of such demand, claim or lawsuit within a reasonable period of time following written notice thereof), and counsel for each party shall, to the extent consistent with its professional responsibilities, cooperate with the other party and any counsel designated by that party.  In effecting the settlement of any such demand, claim or lawsuit, the indemnifying party or the indemnified party, as the case may be, shall act in good faith and shall enter into only such settlement as the other party shall consent to, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that an indemnifying party may enter into a settlement without the consent of an indemnified party so long as such settlement contains an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liabilities arising out of such demand, claim or lawsuit.  An indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement not made in accordance with the preceding sentence.

Section 4.4                                    Limitations on Indemnification.

(a)                                 Seller shall not be required to indemnify Purchaser under Section 4.1(a) and Section 4.1(b) and Purchaser shall not be required to indemnify Seller under Section 4.2, unless the aggregate amount of all Losses incurred by Purchaser or Seller as a result of such breaches, exceeds $15,000.  Once such aggregate amount of such Losses incurred by Purchaser, on the one hand, or Seller, on the other hand, exceeds $15,000, Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be, shall thereupon be entitled to indemnification for amounts relating back to the first dollar; provided, however, that the limitations contained in this sentence and the immediately preceding sentence shall not apply to any claim of common law fraud alleged to have been committed by or on behalf of the indemnifying party or an affiliate thereof upon the indemnified party, as applicable.

(b)                                 Neither Seller, on the one hand, nor Purchaser, on the other hand, shall be obligated to indemnify the other for any Losses under Section 4.1(a) and Section 4.1(b) or Section 4.2, to the extent the aggregate amount of all such Losses exceeds $1,000,000; provided, however, that (i) the foregoing limitation on Purchaser’s obligation to indemnify Seller under Section 4.2(d) shall not apply where the claim arising after the Effective Time with respect to the Transferred Assets and Assumed Liabilities results entirely from acts or omissions of Purchaser occurring after the Effective Time and (ii) the limitations contained in this sentence shall not

24

apply to any claim of common law fraud alleged to have been committed by or on behalf of the indemnifying party or an affiliate thereof upon the indemnified party, as applicable.

(c)                                  Following the Closing, the sole and exclusive remedy of the parties hereto with respect to any and all claims relating to the matters addressed in Section 4.1 or Section 4.2 (other than claims of common law fraud alleged to have been committed by or on behalf of the indemnifying party or an affiliate thereof upon the indemnified party) shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article IV.

Section 4.5                                    Treatment of Indemnification Payments.  Seller and Purchaser agree to treat any indemnification payment under this Article IV as an adjustment of the consideration paid for the Transferred Assets for federal and state income Tax purposes.

Section 7.4                                    Efforts; Further Actions.  Purchaser and Seller agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy or cause to be satisfied as soon as practicable their respective obligations hereunder and the conditions precedent to the Closing.  Each party hereto shall execute and deliver such instruments and take such other actions as the other party may reasonably require in order to carry out the intent of this Agreement.

(c)                                  Unless Purchaser elects not to assume the Banking Center Lease pursuant to Section 1.10, Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of the landlord under the Banking Center Lease for the assignment of such lease to Purchaser.

Section 7.8                                    Public Announcements.  Seller and Purchaser will consult with each other as to the form and substance of any press release or other public disclosure materially related to the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, that no party is prohibited from making any disclosure which its counsel deems necessary or advisable in order to satisfy any requirements of applicable law or the rules of any national securities exchange on which securities of a party or an affiliate of a party are listed, in which case the party making such public announcement or disclosure shall give written notice to the other party promptly after the disclosing party is notified of the disclosure requirement.  Neither party will be required to seek the other party’s approval of any public notice required for any required regulatory filing.

Section 7.9                                    Advice of Changes.  Seller and Purchaser shall promptly notify the other party orally (within (1) business day) and in writing (as promptly as practicable) of any change or event that it believes would or would be reasonably likely to cause any of the conditions set forth in Article VIII or Article IX not being satisfied.

(4)                                 Within fifteen (15) calendar days of August 19, 2011, (i) refunding to the Receiver the full amount of any Unclaimed Deposit, (ii) providing to the Receiver and Seller a schedule of all such Unclaimed Deposits in a form satisfactory to the Receiver, and (iii) assigning, transferring, conveying and delivering to the Receiver, all right, title and interest of the Purchaser in and to any records related to the Unclaimed Deposits.
