Section 8.03 Indemnification by the Purchaser. The Purchaser hereby agrees, effective as of the Closing, to pay, and to indemnify, save, defend and hold harmless FBL, the Seller and each of its Insiders from and against, and shall reimburse FBL, the Seller and its Insiders with respect to, any and all Losses imposed on, incurred by or asserted against FBL, the Seller or its Insiders (or any of them) in any way relating to or arising from or out of:

A. any legal, quasi-legal or administrative proceedings of any nature or kind involving FBL, Seller, the Purchaser, OFS, or any of their respective affiliates based on (i) actions or omissions of the Purchaser, OFS or any of their respective affiliates occurring prior to the Closing Date (other than proceedings covered under Section 8.02A), or (ii) circumstances existing before the Closing Date and relating to Purchaser, OFS, or any of their respective affiliates; or any such proceedings involving FBL, Seller, the Purchaser, or the Wilson Bank based on actions or omissions of the Purchaser, its affiliates or the Purchaser occurring after the Closing Date or circumstances arising after the Closing Date; and

B. a material breach of any covenant of the Purchaser or the failure of the Purchaser to perform any material agreement, covenant or obligation of the Purchaser contained in this Agreement or in any other agreement or document executed pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 8.04 Control of Litigation.

A. Promptly, or in any event within ten (10) calendar days (in the case of service of legal process) or within thirty (30) calendar days (in the case of any other claim), following receipt by any party to be indemnified under the provisions of this ARTICLE VIII (the “Indemnitee”) of notice of any action, suit, proceeding, claim, demand or assessment (each, an “Action”) against the Indemnitee that might give rise to a claim pursuant to Section 8.01, Section 8.02 or Section 8.03, the Indemnitee shall give written notice thereof to the party or parties obligated to provide such indemnification under the provisions of this ARTICLE VIII (collectively, the “Indemnitor”) indicating the nature of such claim, the basis therefore and the estimated amount thereof. Failure to give any notice provided hereunder shall in no way be deemed a forfeiture of any Indemnitee’s rights to be indemnified hereunder; provided, however, if the Indemnitor shall have been prejudiced in any material respect by such failure so to notify the Indemnitor, the Indemnitor shall have the right to set off against any amounts payable or that become payable by the Indemnitor under this Agreement the amount by which the Indemnitor has been damaged (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction) as a result of the failure so to notify the Indemnitor. A claim for indemnity may, at the option of the Indemnitee, be asserted as soon as any claim has been asserted by a third party in writing, regardless of whether actual harm has been suffered or out-of-pocket expenses incurred.

B. At any time after the Indemnitee gives notice to the Indemnitor of a claim being made against the Indemnitee for which a claim for indemnity is being asserted, to the extent that such claim is not being defended by any third party under the terms of any applicable insurance policy or policies, the Indemnitee shall permit the Indemnitor, at the option and expense of the Indemnitor, to assume the defense of such Action with authority

 

12


to conduct such defense and to settle or otherwise dispose of the same (except as hereinafter provided), and the Indemnitee will reasonably cooperate in such defense. In order to assume such defense, (i) Indemnitor must notify Indemnitee in writing of its election to do so within ten (10) calendar days following receipt of notice of the Action from Indemnitee—in the event that Indemnitor does not so notify Indemnitee within such ten (10) calendar day period, Indemnitor shall be deemed to have elected not to assume such defense; and (ii) Indemnitor must provide Indemnitee with evidence reasonably acceptable to Indemnitee that Indemnitor will have the financial resources to defend against such Action and fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder. After notice to the Indemnitee of the Indemnitor’s election to assume the defense of such Action as provided above, the Indemnitor shall be liable to the Indemnitee for such legal or other expenses subsequently incurred at the request of the Indemnitor by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof.

C. The Indemnitor will not, in defense of any such Action, except with the consent of the Indemnitee, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that (i) does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the release by claimant or plaintiff of Indemnitee from all claims and/or liability in respect thereof, or (ii) involves an injunction or other equitable relief, unless Indemnitor satisfies all such liabilities in full contemporaneously with the entry of such judgment or settlement.

D. As to those Actions with respect to which the Indemnitor elects to assume control of the defense, the Indemnitor will afford the Indemnitee an opportunity to participate in such defense, at the Indemnitee’s own cost and expense and the Indemnitor agrees to reasonably cooperate in such defense.

E. As to those Actions with respect to which the Indemnitor does not elect to assume control of the defense, (i) the Indemnitee will afford the Indemnitor an opportunity to participate in such defense, at the Indemnitor’s own cost and expense; (ii) the Indemnitee will not settle or otherwise dispose of any of the same without the consent of the Indemnitor, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld; and (iii) the Indemnitor agrees to reasonably cooperate in such defense.

F. The Indemnitor shall make payments to the Indemnitee, pursuant to the provisions hereof, with respect to Actions of third parties as follows: with respect to out-of-pocket expenses of the Indemnitee, on demand as incurred, and, with respect to amounts and fees owed to third parties, to the extent not paid directly to such third parties by the Indemnitor, on demand at the time of payment by the Indemnitee to such third party.

(i) Payments for amounts due the Indemnitee or its Insiders hereunder shall be paid by either cash or cashier’s check.

ARTICLE IX.

TERMINATION AND ABANDONMENT

Section 9.01 Right of Termination. This Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby may be terminated and abandoned at any time prior to or at the Closing as follows, and in no other manner:

A. By the mutual consent of the Purchaser and the Seller.

B. By either the Seller or the Purchaser unless, after July 2, 2007; except that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section shall not be available to any party whose failure to fulfill any of its obligations under this Agreement has been the cause of or resulted in the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such date.

C. By either the Purchaser or the Seller if any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are disapproved by any regulatory authority whose approval is required to consummate such transactions or if any court of competent jurisdiction or other governmental body shall have issued an order, decree or ruling or taken any other action restraining, enjoining, invalidating or otherwise prohibiting the Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and such order, decree, ruling or other action shall have become final and nonappealable.

D. By the Purchaser or Seller if either reasonably determines, in good faith and after consulting with counsel, there is substantial likelihood that any necessary regulatory approval will not ever be obtained, will not be obtained by a date that would enable the parties to close the transactions contemplated hereby on July 2, 2007, or will be obtained only upon a condition or conditions that make it inadvisable to proceed with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

E. By the Purchaser, if FBL or the Seller fails to comply in any material respect with any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement or in any other agreement contemplated hereby and such failure shall not have been cured within a period of thirty (30) calendar days after written notice from the Purchaser, or if any of the representations or warranties of FBL or the Seller contained in this Agreement or in any other agreement contemplated hereby shall be inaccurate in any material respect.

F. By the Seller, if the Purchaser fails to comply in any material respect with any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement or in any other agreement contemplated hereby and such failure shall not have been cured within a period of thirty (30) calendar days after written notice from the Seller, or if any of the representations or warranties of the Purchaser contained herein or therein shall be inaccurate in any material respect.

Section 9.02 Notice of Termination. The power of termination provided for by Section 9.01 hereof may be exercised only by a notice given in writing, as provided in Section 10.01 of this Agreement.

 

14


Section 9.03 Effect of Termination. Without limiting any other relief to which either party hereto may be entitled for breach of this Agreement, in the event of the termination and abandonment of this Agreement pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.01 hereof, no party to this Agreement shall have any further liability or obligation in respect of this Agreement.

Section 10.02 Entire Agreement. This Agreement is part of a series of integrated transactions between the parties hereto. This Agreement together with the other documents executed by the parties in connection with the Related Transactions shall constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented only by an instrument in writing executed by the party against which enforcement of the amendment, modification or supplement is sought.

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS (INCLUDING THOSE LAWS RELATING TO CHOICE OF LAW) APPLYING TO CONTRACTS ENTERED INTO AND TO BE PERFORMED WITHIN THE STATE OF TEXAS, WITHOUT REGARD FOR THE PROVISIONS THEREOF REGARDING CHOICE OF LAW.

Section 10.04 Severability.

Section 10.06 Specific Performance. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that the other parties would be irreparably damaged and would not have an adequate remedy at law for money damages in the event that any of the covenants contained in this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its terms or otherwise were materially breached. Each of the parties hereto therefore agrees that, without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting bond or other security, the other party shall be entitled to temporary or permanent injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of such performance and to specific enforcement of such covenants in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled, at law or in equity.

Section 10.07 Multiple Counterparts. For the convenience of the parties hereto, this Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all counterparts hereof so executed by the parties hereto, whether or not such counterpart shall bear the execution of each of the parties hereto, shall be deemed to be, and shall be construed as, one and the same Agreement. A telecopy or facsimile transmission of a signed counterpart of this Agreement shall be sufficient to bind the party or parties whose signature(s) appear thereon.

Each use herein of the masculine, neuter or feminine gender shall be deemed to include the other genders.
