     (3) the Fair Market Value of the Real Estate as determined by appraisal pursuant to Section 2.01(c) of this Agreement;
     (4) the Fair Market Value of the Liquid Assets owned by Seller as of the close of business on the Closing Date;
     (5) the Cash Surrender Value of the BOLI Insurance as of the close of business on the Closing Date (if the BOLI Insurance is acquired at Closing by the Buyer) decreased by the previously unrecorded accrual on the split-dollar life insurance policy covering the life of Philip J. Grenchik, Sr. (currently estimated to be $161,732);
     (6) the amount of all Cash on Hand at the Home Office and Branch Offices as of the close of business on the Closing Date;

Such payment formula shall be further adjusted in accordance with Section 2.03 hereof, and shall be determined substantially in compliance with Exhibit 2.01(A) (the “Purchase Price Calculation”).
     In the event that the preceding formula results in a positive number, and Seller and/or AM TRU does not have sufficient cash resources to pay the amount owed to Buyer at Closing, and if Buyer and Seller are unable to agree upon a means of satisfying the cash shortfall, such as through possible additional purchases by Buyer of some or all of the Loans on Exhibit 2.01(D), then Seller and AM TRU shall deliver their joint and several promissory note in favor of Buyer and enter into a security agreement with Buyer with the terms and conditions specified in Section 7.26 hereof. In the event the preceding formula produces a negative number, the absolute value of such amount shall be paid by the Buyer to the Seller by wire transfer on the Closing Date, and the Seller shall have no obligation to make any payment to the Buyer. The payment formula referred to above is for the sole purpose of determining the amount of cash transferable at the Closing Date and shall not constitute an allocation of the Purchase Price to any particular asset being

 


 

transferred or liability being assumed pursuant hereto. Seller shall allocate and pay an appropriate portion of the Purchase Price to AM TRU in consideration for the AM TRU Real Estate after deducting any amounts payable to third parties in connection with such closing towards closing costs and to pay off any Encumbrances.
     (c) Fair Market Value of the Real Estate. The fair market value of the Real Estate shall be equal to its appraised value as determined by Lee & Associates, Inc. The cost of such appraiser shall be shared equally by the Buyer and the Seller.

consummation of this Agreement or the Transactions, (4) any liabilities of Seller or AM TRU for federal, state, county or local income taxes on the Purchase Price, (5) any debt, liability or obligation of Seller arising after the Closing Date (other than those relating to the Liabilities), including any liabilities that may relate to actions of Seller or AM TRU prior to the Closing Date, (6) any liability or obligation under the Excluded Contracts, or (7) any obligation under AM TRU’s trust preferred securities and indenture relating thereto; or (8) the AM TRU Real Estate Loan (as defined in Section 5.05 of this Agreement) (collectively, the “Excluded Liabilities”).
     (e) No Other Debt Obligations or Liabilities Assumed.

To the extent any such item has been prepaid by the Seller for a period extending beyond the Closing Date, there shall be a proportionate monetary adjustment in favor of the Seller provided the Buyer is permitted to assume or purchase the same for no additional consideration. Any earned but unpaid noninterest income associated with the Home Office or the Branch Offices, except as specifically provided in this Agreement, shall also be adjusted pro rata between the parties as of the Closing Date. All security deposits made by the Seller shall be reimbursed to Seller to the extent the Seller would have had a right thereto at the Closing Date. All expenses relating to the Home Office and the Branch Offices which arise on and after the Closing Date, shall be paid by the Buyer. The proration of real estate and personal property taxes and assessments shall be calculated on the basis of when such taxes and assessments are assessed and become a lien on the real property, with Seller being liable for all taxes due and payable through the Closing Date, which shall be paid on or before the Closing Date, and with Buyer receiving a credit for all taxes accruing through the Closing Date but due after the Closing Date.
     Section 2.04 Adjustments. It is understood that the books and records of the Seller may not be complete as of the Closing Date and that the exact amount or amounts comprising the Purchase Price may not have been included therein as of the Closing Date because items were not posted on the Closing Date, or for other reasons complete information with respect to such items was not otherwise available. The Purchase Price to be paid at Closing will be calculated as accurately as possible at the Closing Date based on the information then available. Within 14 days after the Closing Date, the Seller and the Buyer shall prepare a closing statement setting forth the payment required pursuant to Section 2.01(b) of this Agreement based on the complete information which should be available and the final posting of items which shall have occurred by such date.

the Closing Date and the amount required to be paid pursuant to the closing statement, with interest thereon from the Closing Date to the date of payment at the Fed Funds Rate.

The parties agree that if any of the conditions set forth in Section 9.02(h), Section 9.02(i) and Section 9.02(j) of this Agreement are not met on the Closing Date, such failure to satisfy any such condition shall be deemed to have resulted in a Material Adverse Effect as to Seller.

Each item of tangible personal property included in the Seller Assets is in good repair and good operating condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, is suitable for immediate use in the ordinary course of Seller’s banking business and to the Seller’s knowledge is free from latent and patent defects. No such item is in need of repair or replacement other than as part of routine maintenance.

Seller has the full right, subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party (other than to the FHLB), to sell and assign the Loan to Buyer, free and clear of any right, claim or interest of any person or entity (other than to the FHLB), and such sale and assignment to Buyer will not impair the enforceability of the Loan.
     (b) Except for any Unfunded Commitment, the full principal amount of the Loan has been advanced to the Loan Debtor, either by payment direct to him or her, or by payment made on his or her approval, and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder.

     (f) Except as set forth on Exhibit J, as of the date hereof, (i) no Loan is in default, nor, to Seller’s knowledge, is there any event applicable to a Loan where with the giving of notice or the passage of time, would constitute a default; and (ii) no Loan is classified as substandard, doubtful, or loss or is on non-accrual status.
     (g) Seller has not modified such Loan or waived any material provision of or default under such Loan or the related Loan Documents, except in accordance with its customary loan administration policies and procedures. Any such modification or waiver is in writing and is contained in the Loan file.
     (h) Seller has taken all actions to cause each Loan secured by personal property to be perfected by a security interest having first priority or such other priority as is required by the relevant loan approval report for such Loan; and the collateral for each such Loan is owned by the Loan Debtor, free and clear of any Encumbrance except for the security interest in favor of Seller and any other Encumbrance expressly permitted under the relevant loan approval report.

 


 

     (i) The Loan Debtor is the owner of all collateral for such Loan.
     Section 5.08 Residential and Commercial Mortgage Loans and Certain Business Loans. Except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedule, Seller represents and warrants as to each Residential Mortgage Loan, Commercial Mortgage Loan and Business Loan that is secured in whole or in part by a Mortgage that:
     (a) The Mortgage is a valid first lien on the Mortgaged Property securing the related Loan (or a subordinate lien if expressly permitted under the relevant loan approval report), and the Mortgaged Property is free and clear of all Encumbrances having priority over the first lien of the Mortgage, except for liens for real estate taxes and special assessments not yet due and payable, easements and restrictions of record, and, in the case of a Home Equity Loan or a Mortgage securing a guarantee of a Business Loan, the permitted lien of the senior mortgage or deed of trust.
     (b) The Mortgage contains customary provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby, including, (i) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee’s sale, and (ii) otherwise by judicial foreclosure.
     (c) Except as set forth in the Loan file, all of which actions were taken in the ordinary course of business, Seller has not (i) satisfied, canceled, or subordinated the Loan in whole or in part; (ii) released the Mortgaged Property, in whole or in part, from the lien of the Loan; or (iii) executed any instrument of release, cancellation, modification, or satisfaction.
     (d) To Seller’s knowledge, all taxes, government assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer, and municipal charges, and leasehold payments which previously became due and owing have been paid, or an escrow payment has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every such item which remains unpaid.

     (e) To Seller’s knowledge, there is no proceeding pending for the total or partial condemnation of the Mortgaged Property and the Mortgaged Property is undamaged by waste, earth movement, fire, flood, windstorm, earthquake, or other casualty.
     (f) To Seller’s knowledge, the Mortgaged Property is free and clear of all mechanics’ liens or liens in the nature thereof, and no rights are outstanding that under law could give rise to any such lien.
     (g) To Seller’s knowledge, all of the improvements which are included for the purpose of determining the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property, and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property, except as allowed by the Seller’s underwriting guidelines.

 


 

     (h) The Loan meets, or is exempt from, applicable state or federal laws, regulations and other requirements pertaining to usury, and the Loan is not usurious.
     (i) Each Loan for which private mortgage insurance was required by Seller under its underwriting guidelines is insured by a reputable private mortgage insurance company; each such insurance policy is in full force and effect; and all premiums due thereunder have been paid.
     (j) There is in force a paid-up Lender’s Title Insurance Policy respecting the Mortgaged Property issued by a reputable title insurance company in an amount at least equal to the outstanding principal balance of the related Loan. No claims have been made under such Lender’s Title Insurance Policy, and Seller has not done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such Lender’s Title insurance Policy.
     (k) There is in force for each Loan, a hazard insurance policy, including, to the extent required by applicable law, flood insurance, meeting the specifications of FNMA/FHLMC in the case of a Residential Mortgage Loan (other than Home Equity Loans). All such insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the Seller and its successors and assigns as mortgagee, and all premiums thereon have been paid. The Mortgage obligates the Loan Debtor thereunder to maintain the hazard insurance policy at the Loan Debtor’s cost and expense and, on the Loan Debtor’s failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to obtain and maintain such insurance at such Loan Debtor’s cost and expense, and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Loan Debtor. Seller has not engaged in, and has no knowledge of the Loan Debtor’s having engaged in, any act or omission which would impair the coverage of any such policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided for therein, or the validity and binding effect of either.
     (l) As to each Residential Mortgage Loan, the Mortgaged Property consists of a one- to four-family (including condominium or PUD projects that meet FNMA/FHLMC guidelines as warranted by Seller), owner-occupied primary residence second home or investment property.

     (a) Buyer shall offer substantially similar salaries, duties and benefits as are available to similarly situated employees of Buyer, to those employees of Seller who Buyer elects to hire and who satisfy Buyer’s customary employment requirements, including pre-employment interviews, investigations and employment conditions, uniformly applied by Buyer and Buyer’s employment needs. Buyer and Seller will establish a mutually acceptable process for the orderly interviewing of employees for employment by Buyer; Seller will give Buyer a reasonable opportunity to interview the employees.
     (b) Prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall be solely and entirely responsible for timely giving any notices to employees (including any such employees that Buyer may offer employment) under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (the “WARN Act”) to the extent that such notices are required to be made as a result of the Transactions. Buyer agrees to assume any and all liabilities of Seller after the Closing Date with respect to Seller’s obligations under the WARN Act, and other applicable federal and state laws, with respect to the employees hired by Buyer and shall provide certifications of creditable coverage under its group health plan(s) to employees hired by Buyer, to the extent and within the time frames required by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”).
     (c) Seller shall give notices to Seller’s employees as are required for it to comply with the Consolidated Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”) or any applicable state law with respect to continuation of healthcare coverage. To the extent that Seller maintains a group health plan after Closing which allows it to provide health continuation coverage and taking all other actions required of it by COBRA, with respect to all individuals who are, immediately before the Closing Date, or who become, upon or after the Closing Date, qualified beneficiaries because of their status as current or former employees of Seller or their relationship to current or former employees of Seller (collectively, the “COBRA Employees”); then Seller shall be responsible for providing health continuation coverage and performing any related responsibilities to the COBRA Employees. If Seller does not have a group health plan permitting it to provide health continuation coverage to the COBRA Employees, then Buyer shall be responsible for

 


 

providing such health continuation coverage and performing such related responsibilities as required by law. Further Seller shall provide such other continuation and/or conversion notices to the employees as are required under federal or state law relative to the benefits which they enjoyed prior to the Closing Date. To the extent Buyer shall become legally responsible for providing such health continuation coverage and taking all other actions required of it by COBRA, with respect to the COBRA Employees, Buyer shall be entitled to deduct from the Buyer Escrow Account all amounts Buyer is required to pay for health and similar claims made by the COBRA Employees in excess of $12,000 per year per COBRA Employee; provided, however that Buyer’s right to be reimbursed for such amounts shall not exceed $70,000 per year per employee and $100,000 in the aggregate for all such COBRA Employees. Any claims for which the Buyer is entitled to reimbursement pursuant to this Section shall be determined as soon as reasonable practicable after the end of the first anniversary of the Closing Date and at the end of the COBRA coverage period, and Buyer shall be reimbursed from the Buyer Escrow Account in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Indemnification Escrow Agreement. To the extent the amounts in the Buyer Escrow Account are insufficient to satisfy such claims, the Seller and AM TRU, jointly and severally, agree to pay such deficiency within 10 Business Days of when due pursuant to the Indemnification Escrow Agreement.
     (d) Before Closing, with Seller’s prior consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), Buyer may conduct such training and other programs as it may, in its reasonable discretion and at its sole expense, elect to provide for those employees who accept an offer of employment from Buyer; provided, however, that such training and other programs shall not materially interfere with or prevent the performance of the normal business operations of Seller.
     (e) This Section 8.01 shall not confer any rights or benefits on any person other than Buyer and Seller, or their respective successors and assigns, either as a third party beneficiary or otherwise.
     (f) Buyer agrees that those employees of Seller who become employees of Buyer on the Closing Date (“Former Seller Employees”), while they remain employees of Buyer after the Closing Date will be provided with benefits under employee benefit plans during their period of employment which are no less favorable in the aggregate than those provided by Buyer to similarly situated employees of Buyer except as otherwise provided herein. Unused vacation pay which has been accrued as of the Closing Date by any Former Seller Employees shall be paid to such employees by Seller on or before the Closing Date if required by Seller’s policies or applicable law. Except as hereinafter provided, at the Closing Date, Buyer will amend or cause to be amended each employee benefit and welfare plan of Buyer in which Former Seller Employees are eligible to participate, to the extent necessary and allowable under applicable law, so that as of the Closing Date:
     (i) such plans take into account for purposes of eligibility, participation, vesting, and benefit accrual (except that there shall not be any benefit accrual for past service under any qualified defined benefit

 


 

pension plan), the service of such employees with Seller as if such service were with Buyer;
     (ii) Former Seller Employees are not subject to any waiting periods or pre-existing condition limitations under the medical, dental and health plans of Buyer in which they are eligible to participate and may commence participation in such plans on the Closing Date;
     (iii) for purposes of determining the entitlement of Former Seller Employees to sick leave and vacation pay following the Closing Date, the service of such employees with Seller shall be treated as if such service were with Buyer; and
     (iv) Former Seller Employees are first eligible to participate and will commence participation in the Horizon Bancorp Employees’ Thrift Plan and the Horizon Bancorp Employees’ Stock Ownership Plan on the first entry date coinciding with or following the Closing Date.
     (g) At the request of Buyer, between the date of this Agreement and the Closing, Seller shall pay “stay bonuses” to any employees of Seller identified by Buyer as necessary to ensure an orderly and successful transition of the business of Seller and the Seller Assets to Buyer. At the request of Buyer, at the Closing, Seller shall pay severance to any employees of Seller identified by Buyer and in such amounts as determined by Buyer. The Purchase Price shall be increased by any such amounts paid by Seller, or upon the mutual agreement of Buyer and Seller as to the structure of the stay bonuses, such stay bonuses shall be paid by Buyer to Seller (or directly to such employees) prior to Closing.
     (h) Effective as of the Closing Date, Buyer shall offer employment to David J. Dolak and Philip J. Grenchik, Sr. to assist in the transition of Seller’s banking business to Buyer and to perform such other duties as may be reasonably assigned to them by Buyer, at such compensation, and with such other terms and conditions, as shall be negotiated between the parties.
     Section 8.02 Employment Contracts and Employee Benefit Plans. Buyer is not assuming, nor shall it have responsibility for the continuation of, any liabilities under or in connection with:
     (a) any employment or consulting contract, collective bargaining agreement, supplemental employee retirement plan, plan or arrangement providing for insurance coverage or for deferred compensation, bonuses, stock options, or other forms of incentive compensation or post-retirement compensation or benefits, written or implied, which is entered into or maintained, as the case may be, by Seller; or
     (b) any Employee Benefit Plan as maintained, administered, or contributed to by Seller or AM TRU and covering any employees.
     Section 8.03 Employee Documents. Within 15 Business Days of the date of this Agreement, Seller shall provide Buyer with access to employees at the Branch Offices and the

 


 

Home Office and Buyer will be delivered copies of such employee’s personnel files including, but not limited to, copies of each written employment agreement and a written description of the terms of oral employment agreements for such employee, if any, but excluding any medical or health related information not disclosable without the consent of such employees.

     Section 10.01 Indemnification by Seller and AM TRU.
     (a) From and after the Closing Date, Seller and AM TRU shall jointly and severally indemnify, hold harmless, and (at the option of Buyer) defend Buyer from and against any and all actual liabilities, claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs and judgments (“Losses”), arising out of (1) any failure of Seller to observe or perform any of its covenants or obligations under this Agreement, (2) the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty set forth in Article V hereof (subject to Section 13.15 hereof as to the survival of such representations and warranties), or (3) any claim by a third party that Buyer is responsible for any Excluded Liabilities.
     (b) The obligations of Seller and AM TRU under Section 10.01(a) shall be contingent upon Buyer giving Seller or AM TRU written notice (i) of receipt by Buyer of any process and/or pleading in or relating to any actions, suits, or proceedings of the kinds described in Section 10.01(a), including copies thereof, and (ii) of the assertion of any claim or demand of the kind described in Section 10.01(a), including, to the extent known to Buyer, the identity of the person(s) or entity(ies) asserting such claim or making such demand and the nature thereof, and including copies of any correspondence or other writings relating thereto. The failure to give such notice within a reasonable time shall not void Buyer’s right to indemnification from Seller and AM TRU unless the delay shall have materially prejudiced Seller’s or AM TRU’s right to defend. At its option, Buyer may elect to cause Seller and/or AM TRU, at their expense, to take over Buyer’s defense in such actions, suits, or proceedings through counsel selected by Seller and/or AM TRU to compromise and/or settle the same (on a basis acceptable to Buyer) and to prosecute any available appeals or reviews of any adverse judgment or ruling that may be entered therein, and in that event, Buyer agrees to cooperate with Seller and AM TRU in the defense and/or prosecution of claims regarding these matters. If Buyer does not elect to have Seller and/or AM TRU assume the defense of any such matter, Buyer shall be entitled to defend, compromise and/or settle the same (in its sole discretion), and Seller and AM TRU shall be obligated to indemnify Buyer for all Losses incurred in connection therewith.

 


 

     Section 10.02 Indemnification by Buyer.
     (a) From and after the Closing Date, Buyer shall indemnify, hold harmless, and defend Seller and AM TRU from and against all Losses arising out of (1) any failure of Buyer to observe or perform any of its covenants or obligations under this Agreement or (2) any claims by a third party that Seller or AM TRU is responsible for any of the Liabilities.
     (b) The obligations of Buyer under Section 10.02(a) shall be contingent upon Seller or AM TRU giving Buyer written notice (i) of receipt by Seller or AM TRU of any process and/or pleading in or relating to any actions, suits, or proceedings of the kinds described in Section 10.02(a), including copies thereof, and (ii) of the assertion of any claim or demand of the kind described in Section 10.02(a), including to the extent known to Seller or AM TRU the identity of the person(s) or entity(ies) asserting such claim or making such demand and the nature thereof, and including copies of any correspondence or other writings relating thereto. The failure to give such notice within a reasonable time shall not void Seller’s or AM TRU’s right to indemnification from Buyer unless the delay shall have materially prejudiced Buyer’s right to defend. Buyer shall have the right at its expense to take over Seller’s or AM TRU’s defense in such actions, suits, or proceedings through counsel selected by Buyer, to compromise and/or settle the same (on a basis reasonably acceptable to Seller or AM TRU) and to prosecute any available appeals or reviews of any adverse judgment or ruling that may be entered therein, and Seller and AM TRU agree to cooperate with Buyer in the defense and/or prosecution of claims regarding these matters.

     (b) no party shall make any claim for indemnification of Losses that are less than $25,000 (the “Threshold Amount”); provided, that if the aggregate of all claims for Losses by a party equals or exceeds the Threshold Amount, then such party shall be entitled to recover for Losses only to the extent such Losses exceed the Threshold Amount; and
     (c) the aggregate maximum amount of all Losses that may be claimed for indemnification by a party with respect to the failure of the other party’s representations or warranties contained in this Agreement to be true and correct shall not exceed $2,000,000 (except that this limitation on damages shall not apply to the representations or warranties set forth in Section 5.01, Section 5.02(ii), the first sentence of Section 5.06, Section 5.16, Section 5.19 and Section 5.31);

 


 

provided, however, that the foregoing limitations shall not apply to Buyer’s obligations with respect to the Assumed Liabilities or to Seller’s and AM TRU’s obligations with respect to the Excluded Liabilities.
ARTICLE XI
TERMINATION
     Section 11.01 Termination. This Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect as between the parties, except as to liability for breach of any duty or obligation arising prior to the date of termination, upon the occurrence of any of the following conditions:
     (a) The expiration of 10 Business Days after any Governmental Authority shall have denied or refused to grant the approvals or consents required to be obtained pursuant to this Agreement, unless within said 10 Business Day period Buyer and Seller agree to submit or resubmit an application to, or appeal the decision of, the regulatory authority which denied or refused to grant approval thereof;

     (c) The failure to consummate the transactions provided for in this Agreement by June 30, 2010, unless the date is extended by the mutual written agreement of the parties;
     (d) The mutual written consent of the parties to terminate;
     (e) By Seller, if any of the conditions set forth in Section 9.01 or Section 9.03 hereof have not been satisfied by June 30, 2010 (or such earlier time as it becomes apparent that such condition will not be met), unless the relevant condition shall have failed to occur as a result of any material act or omission by Seller;
     (f) By Buyer, if any of the conditions set forth in Section 9.02 or Section 9.03 hereof have not been satisfied by June 30, 2010 (or such earlier time as it becomes apparent that such condition will not be met), unless the relevant condition shall have failed to occur as a result of any material act or omission by Buyer;
     (g) By Buyer if (1) the Board of Directors of AM TRU shall not have recommended adoption and approval of this Agreement to its shareholders, or (2) at any time prior to the receipt of the approval of AM TRU’s shareholders, AM TRU’s Board of Directors shall have withdrawn such recommendation or modified or changed such

 


 

recommendation in a manner adverse to the interests of Buyer (whether in accordance with Section 7.06 or otherwise); or
     (h) By AM TRU if, without breaching Section 7.06, AM TRU shall contemporaneously enter into a definitive agreement with a third party providing for an Acquisition Proposal on terms determined in good faith by the AM TRU Board, after consulting with and considering the advice of AM TRU’s outside counsel and financial advisors, to constitute a Superior Proposal; provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 11.01(h) shall not be available to AM TRU unless it delivers to Buyer (1) written notice of AM TRU’s intention to terminate at least 10 Business Days prior to termination and (2) simultaneously with such termination, the Fee referred to in Section 11.03. For purposes of this Section 11.01(h), “Superior Proposal” means an Acquisition Proposal made by a third party after the date hereof which, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of AM TRU receiving the Acquisition Proposal, taking into account the various legal, financial and regulatory aspects of the proposal and the person making such proposal, (A) if accepted, is significantly more likely than not to be consummated, and (B) if consummated, is reasonably likely to result in a materially more favorable transaction than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for AM TRU and its shareholders and other relevant constituencies.
     Section 11.02 Effect of Termination and Abandonment. In the event of termination of this Agreement and the abandonment of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement pursuant to this Article XI, no party to this Agreement shall have any liability or further obligation to any other party hereunder except (a) as set forth in Section 7.14 and Section 11.03 and (b) that termination will not relieve a breaching party from liability for any willful breach of this Agreement giving rise to such termination.
     Section 11.03 Liquidated Damages. If (1) AM TRU terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.01(h) or (2) Buyer terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.01(g); then, within 5 Business Days of such termination, Seller and/or AM TRU shall pay Buyer by wire transfer in immediately available funds, as agreed upon liquidated damages and not as a penalty and as the sole and exclusive remedy of Buyer, $250,000 (the “Fee”).

Buyer shall send notification(s) to the same holders either together with Seller’s mailing, (in which case Buyer and Seller shall equally share the costs of such mailing and Buyer shall not delay the timing of such mailing), or within 3 days after Seller’s notification setting out the details of its administration of the assumed accounts. Each party shall obtain the approval of the other on its notification letter(s). Except as otherwise provided herein, each party will be responsible for the cost of its own mailing.
