Each of SAB and BB hereto hereby agrees that any legal proceeding instituted to enforce an arbitration award hereunder will be brought in the U.S. federal or state courts situated in Florida having jurisdiction, and hereby submits to personal jurisdiction therein and irrevocably waives any objection as to venue therein, and further agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum.  Each of SAB and BB irrevocably consents to the service of process in any such proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by certified mail, postage prepaid, to such person’s address for notices under this Agreement.

ARTICLE XI. INDEMNIFICATION

11.1

Indemnification Obligations of BB.  Subject to the other provisions of this Article XI, BB shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless SAB, SB, their affiliates, respective directors, officers, employees, representatives and agents (collectively, the “SAB Indemnified Parties”) from, against, and in respect of, any and all claims, liabilities, obligations, damages, losses, costs, expenses, penalties, fines and judgments (at equity or at law, including statutory and common) and damages whenever arising or incurred (including amounts paid in settlement, costs of investigation and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) arising out of or relating to:



- 45 -



(a)

any breach of any representation or warranty or determination by SAB that any representation and warranty made by BB in this Agreement or any BB Ancillary Documents is false;

(b)

any breach of any covenant, agreement or undertaking made by BB in this Agreement or any BB Ancillary Documents; and

(c)

any liability, obligation or Taxes arising from any Regulatory Claim.

The claims, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, costs, expenses, penalties, fines and judgments of the SAB Indemnified Parties described in this Section 11.1 as to which the SAB is entitled to indemnification are collectively referred to as “SAB Losses.”   This indemnification is the exclusive remedy of SAB Indemnified Parties relating to this Acquisition Transaction.

11.2

Indemnification Procedure.

(a)

Promptly following SAB Indemnified Parties’ detection of a violation of a representation or warranty or the receipt by SAB Indemnified Parties of notice by a third party of (including any governmental or regulatory agency) any complaint or the commencement of any audit, investigation, action or proceeding with respect to which SAB Indemnified Parties may be entitled to receive payment from the Escrow Fund for any SAB Loss in accordance with this Article XI, SAB Indemnified Parties shall notify the Shareholder Representative and the Escrow Agent, promptly, but in no event later than (15) days, following SAB Indemnified Parties’ detection of a violation of a representation or warranty or receipt of any complaint or of notice of the commencement of such audit, investigation, action or proceeding; provided, however, that the failure to so notify the Shareholder Representative and the Escrow Agent shall not relieve BB from liability hereunder.  

(b)

Subject to SAB Indemnified Parties complying with the processes of  Article 11, SAB Indemnified Parties may settle or compromise any claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to which indemnification is being sought hereunder without the prior written consent of the Shareholder Representative, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, if:  (i) such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of BB and directors from all liability arising out of such claim, (ii) does not contain any admission or statement suggesting any wrongdoing or liability on behalf of BB or any director, and (iii) does not contain any equitable order, judgment or term that in any manner affects, restrains or interferes with the business of BB or any director.    

(c)

In the event SAB Indemnified Parties claims a right to payment pursuant hereto, it shall send written notice of such claim to the Shareholder Representative within 90 days of SAB Indemnified Parties’ receipt of such claim.  Such notice shall specify the basis for such claim.     In the event the Shareholder Representative disputes the liability with respect to such claim, as promptly as possible, the parties shall establish the merits and amount of such claim (by arbitration as provided herein) and, within five (5) Business Days following the final determination of the merits and amount, if any, of such claim, BB shall pay to SAB Indemnified Parties in shares of SAB Common Stock from the Escrow Fund equal to such claim



- 46 -



as determined hereunder held in Escrow pursuant to the Escrow Agreement.  The value of the shares of SAB Common Stock distributed to SAB Indemnified Parties pursuant to the Escrow Agreement shall be based upon the average trading price of the SAB Common Stock on the AMEX or other trading market for the ten (10) trading days prior to the distribution pursuant to this Section 11.2.

11.3

Claims Period.  The claims period hereunder for notice of SAB Loss shall begin on the Closing Date hereof and terminate on the date that is forty eight (48) months following the Closing Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, prior to the close of business on the last day of the claims period, BB shall have been properly notified of a claim for indemnity hereunder and such claim shall not have been finally resolved or disposed of at such date, such claim shall continue to survive and shall remain a basis for indemnity hereunder until such claim is finally resolved or disposed of in accordance with the terms hereof.  

11.4

Liability Limits.    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the sole and exclusive source of funds for satisfaction of all SAB Losses shall be the  Escrow Fund and the liability of BB pursuant to this Article XI shall be limited to: (a) 75% of the Acquisition Transaction Consideration for claims made during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the six month anniversary of the Closing Date; (b) 50% of the Acquisition Transaction Consideration for claims made during the period commencing on the date immediately following the six month anniversary of the Closing Date and ending on the one year anniversary of the Closing Date; (c) 25% of the Acquisition Transaction Consideration for claims made during the period commencing on the date following the one year anniversary of the Closing Date and ending on the eighteenth month anniversary of the Clos ing Date; (d) 10% of the Acquisition Transaction Consideration for claims made during the period commencing on the date following the eighteenth month anniversary of the Closing Date and ending on the four year anniversary of the Closing Date.  The Escrow Fund shall be accordingly reduced to reflect such limitation on liability and the shares of SAB in the Escrow Fund distributed in accordance with the written instructions of the Shareholder Representative in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement.  Any shares remaining in the escrow following the satisfaction of all claims made prior to the four year anniversary of the Closing Date shall be distributed as provided in the Escrow Agreement.  

11.5

Shareholders’ Representative.  

(a)

BB hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Michael Kosnitzky, and in his absence or upon his resignation, George Scholl, as the true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact (the “Shareholder Representative”) for BB and its shareholder with full powers of substitution to act in the name, place and stead of BB with respect to the performance on behalf of BB under the terms and provisions hereof and to do or refrain from doing all such further acts and things, and to execute all such documents, as the Shareholder Representative shall deem necessary or appropriate in connection with any transaction contemplated hereunder, including the power to:



- 47 -



(i)

act for BB with respect to all indemnification matters referred to herein, including the right to compromise or settle any such claim on behalf of BB;

(ii)

act for BB with respect to the Escrow Amount;

(iii)

amend or waive any provision hereof (including any condition to Closing) in any manner that does not differentiate among any shareholder of BB;

(iv)

employ, obtain and rely upon the advice of legal counsel, accountants and other professional advisors as the Shareholder Representative, in the sole discretion thereof, deems necessary or advisable in the performance of the duties of the Shareholder Representative;

(v)

act for BB with respect to all Acquisition Transaction Consideration matters and all Acquisition Transaction Consideration adjustment matters referred to herein following the Closing;

(vi)

incur any expenses, liquidate and withhold assets received on behalf of the shareholder of BB prior to their distribution to such shareholder to the extent of any amount that the Shareholder Representative deems necessary for payment of or as a reserve against expenses, and pay such expenses or deposit the same in an interest-bearing bank account established for such purpose;

(vii)

receive all notices, communications and deliveries hereunder on behalf of BB and its shareholder; and

(viii)

do or refrain from doing any further act or deed on behalf of BB and its shareholders that the Shareholder Representative deems necessary or appropriate, in the sole discretion of the Shareholder Representative, relating to the subject matter hereof as fully and completely as BB could do if personally present and acting and as though any reference to BB and such shareholder herein was a reference to the Shareholder Representative.

(b)

The appointment of the Shareholder Representative shall be deemed coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable, and any other Person may conclusively and absolutely rely, without inquiry, upon any action of the Shareholder Representative as the act of each shareholder of BB in all matters referred to herein.  

(c)

In the event the Shareholder Representative resigns or ceases to function in such capacity for any reason whatsoever, then the successor Shareholder Representative shall be the person that is appointed by a majority of the Shareholder Indemnifying Parties.

11.6

Liability Claims Threshold.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or elsewhere, other than as set forth in Section 11.7 hereof, SAB shall not make a claim for indemnification under Article XI for SAB Losses unless and until the aggregate amount of such SAB Losses exceeds Two Hundred Thousand ($200,000.00) Dollars (the “SAB Basket”) in which case SAB may only make claims for indemnification for SAB Losses exceeding the SAB Basket; provided however, that in the event any of such claims for SAB



- 48 -



Losses arise from any prior regulatory action against BB, including but not limited to (i) the Stipulation and Consent to the Issuance of an Order to Cease & Desist with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Office of Financial Regulation of the State of Florida dated October 27, 2004,  (ii) any deficiencies in the compliance programs of BB under the Bank Secrecy Act and the USA Patriot Act, (iii) Taxes, and (iv) and any other such regulatory review based claims (collectively the "Regulatory Claims"), shall not be subject to the SAB Basket and BB shall be responsible for all SAB Losses from the first dollar.  

11.7

Tail Insurance Coverage.  SAB shall purchase Directors and Officers Tail Liability insurance coverage for the former members of the Board of Directors of BB as determined by such former directors acting as a group, relating to any prior claims based on their service as directors of Beach Bank, provided that the cost of any such insurance shall be deducted from the Escrow Fund on a dollar for dollar basis without regard to the SAB Basket limitations described in Section 11.6 above.  

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, SAB, SB and BB have caused this Agreement to be executed by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized as of the date first above written.
