WHEREAS, Purchaser wishes to acquire certain assets and deposit liabilities relating to the Banking Centers upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual agreements hereinafter set forth, Seller and Purchaser agree as follows:

(1) subject to Section 1.10, all real estate and improvements thereon upon which the Banking Centers are operated, together with all rights and appurtenances pertaining thereto;

(2) the furniture, fixtures, leasehold improvements, equipment and other tangible personal property located at each Banking Center and used in conducting the business at the Banking Centers as of the Effective Time (the “Personal Property”);

(3) all leases affecting the Banking Centers, including all leases of real property (the “Real Property Leases”) as listed on Exhibit 1.1(a)(3), and all equipment leases for equipment located at the Banking Centers (the “Equipment Leases”); and all assignable operating contracts of the

1

Banking Centers excluding any master contracts (the “Assignable Contracts”) all of which Real Property Leases, Equipment Leases and Assignable Contracts are listed on Exhibit 1.1(a)(3);

(4) all safe deposit contracts and leases for the safe deposit boxes located at the Banking Centers as of the Effective Time (the “Safe Deposit Contracts”);

(5) all Loans transferred pursuant to Section 1.4;

(7) all merchant services accounts associated with Deposit Liabilities (as defined in Section 1.3(a)) located at the Banking Centers.

(b) Excluded from the assets, properties and rights being transferred, conveyed and assigned to Purchaser under this Agreement are the assets listed on Exhibit 1.1(b) hereto, Seller’s rights in and to the name “Planters Bank”, “Planters Bank & Trust Company” and “Planters Bank & Trust Company of Virginia,” and any of Seller’s corporate logos, trademarks, trade names, signs, paper stock, forms and other supplies containing any such logos, trademarks or trade names, and trade names and logos of third parties with whom Seller has contracted to provide services to its customers (the “Excluded Assets”). Seller shall coordinate with Purchaser to remove the Excluded Assets from the Banking Centers on or prior to the Effective Time.

1.2. Purchase Price.

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

(1) With respect to the Real Property, $211,700 (the “Property Value”).

(2) A premium for the Deposit Liabilities (as defined in Section 1.3(a)) and franchise value related to the Banking Centers equal to the lesser of (i) 6.125% of the Deposit Liabilities or (ii) $1,304,363.00, the amount of such premium to remain confidential, unless required to be disclosed by law or in connection with any regulatory application, notice, requirement or examination;

(3) The Net Book Value (as defined in Section 1.2(d)), including accrued interest, for the Loans as set forth in Section 1.4;

(4) The Net Book Value (as defined in Section 1.2(d)) of the Personal Property; and

2

(5) The face amount of the Coins and Currency as of the Effective Time.

(b) In addition, Purchaser shall assume, as of the Effective Time, all of the duties, obligations and liabilities of Seller arising on or after the Effective Time relating to the Real Property, the Real Property Leases, the Equipment Leases, the Assignable Contracts, the Safe Deposit Contracts, and the Deposit Liabilities (including all accrued interest relating thereto); provided, that any cash items paid by Seller and not cleared prior to the Effective Time shall not be the responsibility of Purchaser, subject to the terms of Section 1.3.

(c) Seller shall deliver a balance sheet substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.2(b)(14) (the “Pre-Closing Balance Sheet”) prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied as of a date not earlier than 30 calendar days prior to the Effective Time anticipated by the parties (the “Pre-Closing Balance Sheet Date”) reflecting the assets to be sold and assigned hereunder and the liabilities to be transferred and assumed hereunder, all based on the estimated Property Value of the Real Property and the estimated Net Book Value of other assets and liabilities as of the Effective Time; Seller agrees to pay to Purchaser at the Closing (as defined in Section 2.1), in immediately available funds, the excess amount, if any, of the 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. Purchaser agrees to pay Seller at the Closing, in immediately available funds, the excess, if any, of the aggregate Purchase Price computed in accordance with subsection (a) above, as reflected by the Pre-Closing Balance Sheet over the amount of Deposit Liabilities assumed by Purchaser pursuant to subsection (b) above as reflected by the Pre-Closing Balance Sheet. Amounts paid at Closing shall be subject to subsequent adjustment based on the Post-Closing Balance Sheet (as defined in Section 2.3).

(d) For purposes of this Agreement, “Net Book Value” means the value determined from the Post-Closing Balance Sheet; provided, however, that such value shall not include the loan loss reserve attributable to any Loan (as defined in Section 1.4) or any general reserve.

1.3. Deposit 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(b)) located at the Banking Centers as of the Effective Time (including accrued but unpaid or uncredited interest thereon). A projected list of the Deposit Liabilities is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.3(a) which shall be updated as soon as practicable after Closing.

3

(b) Except for those liabilities and obligations specifically assumed by Purchaser under Section 1.2(b), Purchaser is not assuming any other liabilities or obligations of Seller or otherwise. Subject to the limitations on indemnification set forth in Section 3.4, liabilities not assumed include, but are not limited to, the following:

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

(2) Liabilities or obligations of Seller with respect to any litigation, suits, claims, demands or governmental proceedings arising, commenced or made known to Seller prior to Closing or arising from events occurring prior to Closing.

(3) Deposit accounts associated with lines of credit where the line of credit is excluded in accordance with Section 1.4(b).

(4) 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.

(5) Self-directed individual retirement accounts, if any, it being understood that all other types of IRA Deposit Liabilities are intended to be transferred.

(6) Deposit accounts associated with a loan where such loan is excluded in accordance with Section 1.4(b)(5).

(c) Seller does not represent or warrant that any deposit customers whose accounts are assumed by Purchaser will become or continue to be customers of Purchaser after the Effective Time.

(d) Purchaser agrees to pay in accordance with law and customary banking practices all properly drawn and presented checks, drafts and withdrawal orders presented to Purchaser by mail, over the counter or through the check clearing system of the banking industry, by depositors of the accounts assumed, whether drawn on the checks, withdrawal or draft forms provided by Seller or by Purchaser, and in all other respects to discharge, in the usual course of the banking business, the duties and obligations of Seller with respect to the balances due and owing to the depositors whose accounts are assumed by Purchaser.

(e) If, after the Effective Time, any depositor, instead of accepting the obligation of Purchaser to pay the Deposit Liabilities assumed, shall demand payment from Seller for all or any part of any such assumed Deposit Liabilities, Seller shall not

4

be liable or responsible for making any such payment; provided, that if Seller shall pay the same, Purchaser agrees to reimburse Seller for any payments less the premium paid for such Deposit Liability, and Seller shall not be deemed to have made any representations or warranties to Purchaser with respect to any checks, drafts or withdrawal orders processed after the Effective Time drawn on such Deposit Liabilities, and any such representations or warranties implied by law are hereby expressly disclaimed. Seller and Purchaser shall make arrangements to provide for the daily settlement with immediately available funds by Purchaser of checks, drafts, withdrawal orders, returns and other items presented to and paid by Seller within 60 calendar days after the Effective Time and drawn on or chargeable to accounts that have been assumed by Purchaser; provided, however, that Seller shall be held harmless and indemnified by Purchaser for acting in accordance with such arrangements.

(f) Purchaser agrees, at its cost and expense, (1) to assign new account numbers to depositors of assumed accounts, (2) to notify such depositors, on or before the Effective Time, in a form and on a date mutually acceptable to Seller and Purchaser, of Purchaser’s assumption of Deposit Liabilities, and (3) to furnish such depositors with checks on the forms of Purchaser and with instructions to utilize Purchaser’s checks and to destroy unused check, draft and withdrawal order forms of Seller. (If Purchaser so elects, Purchaser may offer to buy from such depositors their unused Seller check, draft and withdrawal order forms.) In addition, Seller will notify its affected customers by letter of the pending assignment of the Deposit Liabilities to Purchaser, which notice shall be at Seller’s cost and expense and shall be in a form and mailed at a time agreeable to Seller and Purchaser.

(g) Purchaser agrees to pay promptly to Seller an amount equivalent to the amount of any checks, drafts or withdrawal orders credited to an assumed account as of the Effective Time that are properly returned to Seller after the Effective Time.

(h) As of the Effective Time, Purchaser will assume and discharge Seller’s duties and obligations in accordance with the terms and conditions and laws, rules and regulations that apply to the certificates, accounts and other Deposit Liabilities assumed under this Agreement.

(i) As of the Effective Time, Purchaser will maintain and safeguard in accordance with applicable law and sound banking practices all account documents, deposit contracts, signature cards, deposit slips, canceled items and other records related to the Deposit Liabilities assumed under this Agreement, subject to Seller’s right of access to such records as provided in this Agreement.

(j) Seller will render a final statement to each depositor of an account assumed under this Agreement as to transactions occurring through the Effective Time; provided, however, that Seller is not be obligated to render a final statement on any account not ordinarily receiving periodic statements in the ordinary course of Seller’s

5

business. Purchaser acknowledges that Seller is entitled to impose normal fees and service charges on a per-item basis at Closing, but Seller will not impose periodic fees or blanket charges in connection with such final statements.

(k) Seller will timely provide to Purchaser 1099 data for Purchaser to comply with all laws, rules and regulations regarding 2005 tax reporting of transactions of such accounts through the Effective Time.

(l) As of the Effective Time, Purchaser, at its expense, will notify all Automated Clearing House (“ACH”) originators of the transfers and assumptions made pursuant to the Agreement; provided, however, that Seller may, at its option, notify all such originators itself (on behalf of Seller and Purchaser) also at the ultimate expense of Purchaser. For a period of 120 calendar days beginning at the Effective Time, Seller will honor all ACH items related to accounts assumed under this Agreement which are routed or presented to Seller. Seller will make no charge to Purchaser for honoring such items, and will electronically transmit such ACH data to Purchaser. If Purchaser cannot receive an electronic transmission, Seller will make available to Purchaser at Seller’s operations center receiving items from the Automated Clearing House tapes containing such ACH data. Items routed or presented after the 120-day period shall be returned to the presenting party. Seller and Purchaser shall make arrangements to provide for the daily settlement with immediately available funds by Purchaser of any ACH items honored by Seller, and Seller shall be held harmless and indemnified by Purchaser for acting in accordance with this arrangement to accept ACH items.

(m) Following the Effective Time, Purchaser agrees to use its best efforts to collect from Purchaser’s customers amounts equal to any Visa or MasterCard charge backs under the MasterCard and Visa Merchant Agreements between Seller and its customers, or amounts equal to any deposit items returned to Seller after the Effective Time which were honored by Seller prior to the Effective Time, and remit such amounts so collected to Seller. Purchaser agrees to immediately freeze and remit to Seller any funds, up to the amount of the charged back or returned item that had been previously credited by Seller, if such funds are available at the time of notification by Seller to Purchaser of the charged back or returned item and such charge back is permitted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall have no duty to remit funds for any item or charge that has been improperly returned or charged to Seller.

1.4. Loans Transferred.

(a) Seller will transfer to Purchaser as of the Effective Time, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, all of Seller’s right, title and interest in (including collateral relating thereto) loans maintained, serviced and listed in Seller’s records as loans of the Banking Centers (collectively, the “Loans”); provided, however, the Loans shall not include any loans described in subsection (b) below. Such Loans (as well as any security interest related thereto) shall be transferred by

6

means of a blanket (collective) assignment and not individually (except as may be otherwise required by law). Purchaser shall inform Seller not less than 45 calendar days prior to the proposed Closing, of any case in which filing information relating to any collateral for the Loans will be required for preparation of any assignments of liens. A projected list of the Loans is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.4(a) and will be updated as soon as practicable after Closing.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Loans shall not include:

(1) nonaccruals (which term shall mean loans in which the collateral securing same has been repossessed, or in which collection efforts have been instituted, or claim and delivery or foreclosure proceedings have been filed) and classified loans;

(2) loans 90 calendar days or more past due;

(3) loans upon which insurance has been force-placed;

(4) loans in connection with which the borrower has filed a petition for relief under the United States Bankruptcy Code prior to the Effective Time;

(5) (a) loans identified by Purchaser in writing within 30 calendar days after Purchaser’s due diligence review of the Banking Center’s loans on October 26, 2004 (the “Due Diligence Review”) as not being purchased because of failure to meet the credit or aggregate loan exposure standards of Purchaser; and (b) loans closed by Seller on or after October 26, 2004 up to and including the Effective Time, identified in writing by Purchaser within 30 calendar days after the Effective Time as not being purchased because of failure to meet the credit or aggregate loan exposure standards of Purchaser;

(6) loans identified by Purchaser within 30 calendar days after the Effective Time as having any collateral perfection deficiency; and

(7) loan loss reserves.

(c) Seller and Purchaser agree that Purchaser will become the beneficiary of credit life insurance written on direct consumer installment Loans and debt cancellation and disability coverage agreements written on any Loans. If Purchaser becomes the beneficiary of credit life insurance or debt cancellation and disability coverage written on any Loans, Seller and Purchaser agree to cooperate in good faith to develop a mutually satisfactory method by which the current insurer will make rebate payments to and satisfy claims of the holders of such certificates of insurance after the Effective Time. The parties’ obligations in this section are subject to any restrictions contained in existing insurance contracts as well as

7

applicable laws and regulations. The parties shall cooperate to resolve any issues related to payment of premiums. If the parties determine that loans subject to debt cancellation and disability coverage cannot be adequately serviced by Purchaser, the parties shall exclude such Loans from purchase hereunder.

(d) In connection with the transfer of any Loans requiring notice to the borrower, Purchaser shall comply with all notice and reporting requirements of the Loan documents or of any law or regulation.

(e) All Loans transferred to Purchaser shall be valued at their Net Book Value, such value to include accrued interest.

(f) All Loans will be transferred without recourse to Seller and without any warranties or representations as to their collectibility or the creditworthiness of any of the obligors of such Loans.

(g) Purchaser will at its expense issue new coupon books for payment of Loans for which Seller provides coupon books with instructions to utilize Purchaser’s coupons and to destroy coupons furnished by Seller.

(h) For a period of 30 calendar days after the Effective Time, Seller will forward to Purchaser payments received by Seller with respect to any Loans. Purchaser shall reimburse Seller upon demand for checks returned on payments forwarded to Purchaser; however, to the extent possible, Seller will deduct the amount of such returned checks from any amounts owed by Seller to Purchaser.

(i) As of the Effective Time, Seller shall transfer and assign all files, documents and records related to the Loans (the “Records”) to Purchaser, and Purchaser will be responsible for maintaining and safeguarding all the Records in accordance with applicable law and sound banking practices.

(j) If the balance due on any Loan purchased pursuant to this Section 1.4 has been reduced by Seller as a result of a payment by check received prior to the Effective Time, which item is returned after the Effective Time, the asset value represented by the Loan transferred shall be correspondingly increased and an amount in cash equal to such increase shall be paid by Purchaser to Seller promptly upon demand.

(k) Seller shall grant to Purchaser as of the Effective Time a limited power of attorney, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1.4(k) (the “Power of Attorney”).

1.5. Safe Deposit Business.

(a) As of the Effective Time, Purchaser will assume and discharge Seller’s obligations with respect to the safe deposit box business at the Banking Centers arising on or after the Effective Time in accordance with the terms and conditions

8

of the Safe Deposit Contracts, and Purchaser will maintain all facilities necessary for the use of such safe deposit boxes by persons entitled to use them; provided, that nothing herein shall be deemed to prohibit Purchaser, after the Effective Time, from discontinuing the safe deposit box services or facilities at the Banking Centers (all in accordance with applicable law and any contractual obligations regarding the same).

(b) As of the Effective Time, Seller shall transfer and assign the records related to such safe deposit box business to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall maintain and safeguard all such records and be responsible for granting access to and protecting the contents of safe deposit boxes at the Banking Centers.

(c) Safe deposit box rental payments (not including late payment fees) collected by either Seller or Purchaser applying to periods both before and after the Effective Time shall be prorated as of the Effective Time.

1.6. Employee Matters.

(a) Purchaser shall offer employment to all employees (the “Employees”) employed by Seller at the Banking Centers as of the Effective Time (other than employees whose function does not relate exclusively to operation of one or more of the Banking Centers), in their then respective current functional positions and locations with base salaries not less than levels at the Effective Time and benefits generally equivalent to benefits offered by Purchaser to similarly situated employees of Purchaser. Except for Purchaser’s qualified and nonqualified pension plans (if any), Employees who become employees of Purchaser as of the Effective Time (“Transferred Employees”) shall receive full credit for their prior service with Seller under Purchaser’s benefit plans and policies, including its vacation and sick leave policies, to the same extent as if the service had been with Purchaser. As of the Effective Time, the Transferred Employees and their dependents, if any, covered under Seller’s health insurance plan preceding the Effective Time shall be covered under Purchaser’s health insurance plan without being subject to any waiting period or pre-existing condition limitations or exclusions. Transferred Employees shall not be required to satisfy the deductible and employee payments required by Purchaser’s comprehensive medical and/or dental plans for the calendar year of the Effective Time (i) to the extent of amounts previously credited during such calendar year under comparable plans maintained by Seller, or (ii) to the extent the same is waived in its entirety by the applicable insurer, as determined by the applicable insurer in its sole discretion. With respect to Purchaser’s qualified and nonqualified pension plans, Transferred Employees shall receive full credit for prior service with Seller (and with other entities to the extent service with any such entity is treated by Seller as service with it) for purposes of determining their participation eligibility and vesting rights to the same extent as if the service had been with Purchaser. Benefits under Purchaser’s pension plans for Transferred Employees shall be determined solely with reference to service with Purchaser.

9

(b) Seller makes no representations or warranties about whether any of its employees will remain at the Banking Centers and become and remain employed by Purchaser after the Effective Time. Seller will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to maintain the employees as employees of Seller at the Banking Centers until the Effective Time. Purchaser shall have no responsibilities or rights with respect to any employee of Seller whose employment shall be terminated for any reason prior to the Effective Time or who shall elect not to become an employee of Purchaser. Seller agrees that for a period of 12 months after the Effective Time, it will not solicit for employment any Transferred Employee who remains employed by Purchaser.

(c) For a period of six months after the Effective Time, Purchaser will not terminate a Transferred Employee without cause without paying to such Transferred Employee a severance benefit no less than one week’s salary for each year of service to the Seller (and with other entities to the extent service with any such entity is treated by Seller as service with it). Purchaser agrees that, for a period of 12 months after the Effective Time, it will not solicit for employment or employ any employee of Seller (other than Transferred Employees) who is employed at a location in a county in which any Banking Center is located or in any contiguous county; provided, however, that such prohibition shall not apply to solicitations which are directed to the general public.

1.7. Records and Data Processing.

(a) As of the Effective Time, Purchaser shall become responsible for maintaining the files, documents and records transferred to it hereunder. Purchaser will preserve and safekeep them as required by applicable law and sound banking practice. After the Effective Time, Purchaser will permit Seller and its representatives, at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice, to examine, inspect, copy and reproduce (at Seller’s expense) any such files, documents or records as Seller deems necessary.

(b) As of the Effective Time, Seller shall transfer to Purchaser the files, documents and records relating to the assets and liabilities transferred pursuant to this Agreement. Following the Effective Time, Seller will permit Purchaser and its representatives, at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice, to examine, inspect, copy and reproduce (at Purchaser’s expense) files, documents or records retained by Seller regarding the assets and liabilities transferred under this Agreement as Purchaser deems necessary.

(c) It is understood that certain of Seller’s records may be available only in the form of photocopies, film copies or other non-original and non-paper media.

10

1.8. 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 Banking Centers.

1.9. Taxes and Fees; Proration of Certain Expenses.

Purchaser shall be responsible for the payment of all fees and taxes related to this transaction, except that (i) Purchaser shall not be responsible for, or have any liability with respect to, taxes on any income to Seller arising out of the transactions herein, and (ii) with respect to any transfers of Real Property, Purchaser shall pay the real estate transfer and recordation taxes, fees and costs incurred in connection therewith. Purchaser shall not be responsible for any income tax liability of Seller arising from the business or operations of the Banking Centers before the Effective Time, and Seller shall not be responsible for any tax liabilities arising from the business or operations of the Banking Centers after the Effective Time. Utility payments, telephone charges, real property taxes, personal property taxes, rent, salaries, deposit insurance premiums, other ordinary operating expenses of the Banking Centers and other expenses related to the liabilities assumed or assets purchased hereunder shall be prorated between the parties as of the Effective Time. To the extent any such item has been prepaid by Seller for a period extending beyond the Effective Time, there shall be a proportionate monetary adjustment in favor of Seller.

1.10. Real Property.

(a) Title and Leasehold Matters.

(i) Seller agrees to deliver to Purchaser as soon as practicable after execution of this Agreement copies of all title and lease information in possession of Seller, including but not limited to title insurance policies, attorneys’ opinions on title, surveys, covenants, deeds, notes and mortgages, leases and easements relating to the Real Property. Such delivery shall constitute no warranty by Seller as to the accuracy or completeness thereof or that Purchaser is entitled to rely thereon.

(ii) Purchaser agrees to notify Seller in writing within 30 calendar days after the date of this Agreement of any mortgages, pledges, material liens, encumbrances, reservations, tenancies, encroachments, overlaps or other title exceptions or zoning or similar land use violations (excluding legal but nonconforming uses) related to the Real Property to which Purchaser reasonably objects (the “Title Defects”). Purchaser agrees that Title Defects shall not include real property taxes not yet due and payable, or easements, restrictions, tenancies, and rights of way which do not materially interfere with the use of the Real Property as a banking center or defects which Purchaser can obtain protection from through purchase of title insurance at regular rates (or higher rates if the excess over the regular

11

rate is paid by Seller). Seller shall make a good faith effort to correct any such Title Defect to Purchaser’s reasonable satisfaction at least 10 calendar days prior to Closing; provided, however, that Seller shall not be obligated to bring any lawsuit or make any payments of money (except to pay liens that Seller does not dispute in good faith) to cure a Title Defect. If Seller is unable or unwilling to cure any such Title Defects to Purchaser’s reasonable satisfaction, Purchaser shall have the option to (upon written notice to Seller) receive title in its then existing condition (with a corresponding Purchase Price adjustment that is agreeable to both parties), or to accept the assets and assume the liabilities of the Banking Center without the Real Property on which the Banking Center is located (in which event the Purchase Price shall be reduced by a reasonable estimate of the moving expenses to be incurred by Purchaser in relocating operations of the Banking Center from the Real Property to another business premises). Upon termination of this Agreement with respect to the Real Property of a Banking Center pursuant to this Section 1.10, neither party shall have any further liability to the other party under this Agreement with respect to such Real Property and the Purchase Price shall be adjusted accordingly.

(iii) Purchaser shall have the right to update title matters at Closing for any changes which may have arisen between the date of Purchaser’s original title search and the Closing Date. If such update indicates that any Title Defects have been placed of record since the date of Purchaser’s original title search, and Purchaser reasonably objects thereto, then Seller may elect to delay the Closing with respect to the affected Banking Center for up to 30 calendar days while Seller makes a good faith effort to cure any such Title Defect to Purchaser’s reasonable satisfaction; provided that Seller shall not be obligated to bring any lawsuit or make any payments of money (except to pay liens that Seller does not dispute in good faith) to cure a Title Defect. If Seller is unable or unwilling to cure any such Title Defect within such 30 day period, Purchaser shall have the option to (upon written notice to Seller) receive title in the then existing condition (with a corresponding Purchase Price adjustment agreeable to both parties) or to accept the assets and assume the liabilities of the Banking Center without the Real Property on which the Banking Center is located, in which event neither party shall have any further liability to the other party under this Agreement with respect to the Real Property of such Banking Center and the Purchase Price shall be adjusted accordingly.

(iv) Purchaser shall accept the terms of any Real Property Lease as is. If the Real Property Lease is not assignable without consent of the landlord, and if the landlord does not consent to assignment of such Lease as is, Seller and Purchaser agree to use reasonable efforts to reach agreement with the landlord with respect to any modifications of such Lease in order to obtain such assignment. Purchaser agrees to take such commercially reasonable actions as Seller may request in order to assist Seller to obtain assignment of the Real Property Lease.

12

(b) Environmental Matters.

Purchaser shall have the right to conduct such investigation of environmental matters with respect to the Real Property as it may reasonably require and shall report the results of any such investigation, together with its objections to any material violation of applicable environmental law which impacts the Real Property or the use thereof as a banking center, if any, to Seller no later than 60 calendar days after the date of this Agreement; provided, that without the prior written consent of Seller, Purchaser shall not conduct any ground water monitoring or install any test well or undertake any other investigation which requires a permit or license from, or the reporting of the investigation or the results thereof to, a local or state environmental regulatory authority or the United States Environmental Protection Agency. Seller has no actual knowledge of any material violation of applicable environmental law that materially impacts the Real Property or the use thereof as a Banking Center. If Purchaser objects to any material violation of applicable environmental law which materially impacts the Real Property or the use thereof as a Banking Center (“Environmental Issue”), which is discovered by Purchaser’s investigation as provided for in subsection (d) below, Seller and Purchaser shall address such Environmental Issue as set forth in subsection (d) below.

(c) Facilities Inspection.

Purchaser shall have the right, for and during the period ending 60 calendar days following the date of execution of this Agreement (the “Inspection Period”), to inspect the physical condition of the Real Property, including, without limitation, compliance of the Real Property with the provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act (collectively, “Inspection Issues”). These inspections shall be conducted during regular business hours by qualified inspectors or employees of Purchaser or its affiliates following not less than three business days notice to Seller. Prior to entry upon the property, Purchaser will confirm to Seller the existence of general liability insurance in coverage amounts reasonably acceptable to Seller. Any physical disturbance to the Real Property shall be subject to Seller’s prior approval, which may be subject to such reasonable repair and restoration conditions as Seller may impose (including, without limitation, the obligation to repair any disturbed area to its condition immediately prior to that disturbance). Purchaser promptly shall provide Seller with copies of any and all written reports in connection with those inspections, at no cost to Seller, upon Seller’s request.

13

(d) Correction of Defects.

If Purchaser discovers a defect in a Banking Center with respect to Inspection Issues or Environmental Issues (a “Defect”) that would require an expenditure of funds to correct, Purchaser shall promptly give written notice thereof to Seller describing the Defect in detail, and Seller shall have the obligation to pay up to the sum of $25,000 to cure such Defect at such Banking Center prior to the Effective Time if reasonably possible or as soon thereafter as can be reasonably accomplished. If the estimated cost to cure a Defect exceeds $25,000, Purchaser shall pay the additional cost to cure such Defect in excess of $25,000 up to $50,000. If the estimated cost to cure such Defect exceeds $50,000, Seller shall pay the additional cost to cure such Defect in excess of $50,000 up to $100,000. If the estimated cost to cure such Defect exceeds $100,000, Seller shall have the option to pay the additional cost to cure the Defect or, in the alternative, to lease the Banking Center which has a Defect to Purchaser for a period of two years. Such lease shall be negotiated in good faith by the parties at a market rate upon commercial property and lease terms consistent with the area and Banking Center involved. If the parties are unable to reach agreement on such a lease at least 45 calendar days prior to the Closing Date, each party shall select a commercial real estate professional who shall provide a market rate for lease of the Banking Center in question. The lease rate shall be set at the average of the two market rates so determined. Other lease terms shall be as negotiated by the parties or, failing agreement by the parties, as mutually agreed by the commercial real estate professionals. This method of resolving defects shall be applied to each Banking Center. Purchaser shall provide to Seller copies of all reports from consultants or experts engaged by Purchaser documenting the existence of a Defect and estimated cost to cure the Defect. In the event Seller shall not agree that a Defect exists or that it is required to be remediated, Seller and Purchaser agree to negotiate in good faith to resolve the issue. If they cannot do so, then Seller shall have the option to pay the additional cost to cure the Defect or, in the alternative, to lease the Banking Center which has a Defect to Purchaser for a period of two years pursuant to the procedures provided in this Section 1.10(d).
