(b)                                 Origination of Loans. Each Loan was originated in the United States of America, its territories, its possessions or other areas subject to its jurisdiction by Bank in the ordinary course of its business.

(c)                                  Payments on Loans.

(e)                                  Compliance with Law.  Each Loan and the activities of Bank and its agents, representatives, or designees with respect thereto has at all times complied with, and does comply with, Applicable Laws, except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedule.  Without limiting the foregoing, and for purposes of illustration only, (i) each Loan has been duly originated and serviced in accordance with the provisions of Applicable Laws, and (ii) the form of the underlying Credit Agreement and Loan Documents have at all times complied with, and do comply with, Applicable Laws.  The originator of each such Loan, whether Bank, or any other entity, was, to the best of Bank’s knowledge, duly licensed and authorized to participate in the making, selling, transferring, servicing and assigning of such Loan pursuant to Applicable Laws.

(f)                                    Binding Obligation.  Except (i) with respect to any identity theft, fraud or forgery by the borrower or cosigner, if any, that is discovered after the Purchase Date and (ii) as a result of the application of Debtor Relief Laws after the Purchase Date, each Loan represents the legal, valid and binding payment obligation of the Eligible Borrower(s), enforceable against such Eligible Borrower(s), by or on behalf of the holder thereof in accordance with its terms, and no Loan has been satisfied, subordinated or rescinded.  The Disclosure Schedule identifies all Loans with respect to which Bank, or its Affiliates or agents (including by way of example, Servicer), has received notice of any allegation or claim of identity theft, fraud or forgery by the borrower or cosigner, if any.

(g)                                 Execution of Credit Agreement.  Except with respect to any identity theft, fraud or forgery by the borrower or cosigner, if any, that is first discovered after the Purchase Date, (A) each underlying Credit Agreement of a Loan has been duly and properly executed by all parties to the Credit Agreement, and all signatures to each such Credit Agreement are genuine and (B) all parties to the underlying Credit Agreement had legal capacity at the time to enter into, execute and deliver such Credit Agreement and no borrower or cosigner, if any, has been released in whole or in part from any liability under the Credit Agreement.  Without in any way limiting the foregoing, no Credit Agreement was executed using electronic signatures of the borrower or cosigner, if applicable, except to the extent that a facsimile signature is deemed to be an electronic signature, in which case such electronic signature complies with Applicable Law and creates a valid and binding repayment obligation enforceable against the Eligible Borrower(s).

(h)                                 No Defenses.  Except (i) with respect to any identity theft, fraud or forgery by the borrower or cosigner, if any, that is discovered after the Purchase Date or (ii) as a result of the application of Debtor Relief Laws after the Purchase Date, no counterclaim, offset, defense, or right of rescission of any kind or description has been asserted or threatened or exists, which could be asserted and maintained or which, with notice, lapse of time, or the occurrence or failure to occur of any act or event, could be asserted and maintained, by the borrower, cosigner, if any, or any other person or entity against Purchaser or any assignee with respect to any Loan.  Nothing will be done or will be omitted to be done by Bank, or it agents, Affiliates or designees, after the Cut-off Date, which would create an offset, defense, counterclaim or moratorium with respect to such Loan, and in particular the obligation of the Eligible Borrower(s) to pay the full amount of unpaid principal of, and interest on, such Loan.

11

(i)                                     No Default.  There is no default, breach, violation, event of acceleration or event of repurchase existing under the terms and covenants of the Loans, nor has any event occurred or does any condition exist which, upon the giving of notice, would constitute a default, breach, violation, event of acceleration or event of repurchase, nor has Bank, or it agents, Affiliates or designees, waived any of the foregoing.  The Eligible Borrower(s) on each Loan was/were not party to any proceedings under Debtor Relief Laws as of the Cut-off Date of which Bank, or its Affiliates or agents (including by way of example, the Servicer) had notice.

(j)                                     Title.  Bank has good and marketable title to and is the sole owner and holder of one hundred percent (100%) of the legal and beneficial rights, title and interest in each Loan including the Credit Agreement and Loan Documents, and upon the sale of each Loan pursuant to this Agreement Purchaser will receive Bank’s full right, title and interest in such Loan, Credit Agreement and Loan Documents, free and clear of all pledges, liens, adverse claims, security interests and other charges or encumbrances of any nature or description with respect to the Loan, and no Loan is pledged or assigned for any purpose or to any person as of the Purchase Date and no effective financing statements or like instruments will be on file in any jurisdiction with respect to the Bank’s rights in any Loan on such Purchase Date.  There has not been any other sale, transfer or assignment of the Loans prior to the effective date of this Agreement and the Credit Agreements relating to the Loans, which shall be held in custody for the Purchaser, are the only executed copies thereof.  By way of example, and without in any way limiting the foregoing, for each Loan that was executed electronically, Bank, directly or through sub-contractors or agents has possession of the electronic records evidencing the Loan and on the Purchase Date Purchaser shall acquire full and entire legal and beneficial right, title, and interest to the original electronic records evidencing such Loans.

(k)                                  Lawful Assignment.  No Loan has been originated in, or is subject to the laws of, any jurisdiction under which the sale, transfer and assignment of such Loan is unlawful, void or voidable.

(l)                                     Principal Balance.  The aggregate Principal Balance of the Loans, plus accrued interest to be capitalized with respect thereto, as of the Cut-off Date, is $233,831,784.

(m)                               UCC.  Each Loan constitutes an “instrument” or “payment intangibles” as defined in the UCC.

(n)                                 U.S.  Obligors.  At the time of origination, the borrower or cosigner, if any, of each Loan was a U.S. Citizen or permanent resident alien and had a mailing address in the United States of America.

(o)                                 No Waiver.  Neither Bank, nor its agents, Affiliates or designees, has waived, altered, impaired or modified any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Loans (or the related Credit Agreements) in any respect, other than in accordance with the Loan Documents, the Program Guidelines and Applicable Law.

(p)                                 Full Amount Owed. On the Purchase Date, the full amount of the unpaid Principal Balance of each Loan to be purchased will be owed by the borrower and cosigner, if any, of such Loan.

12

(q)                                 Reasonable Care.  Due diligence and reasonable care have been exercised by Bank, its Affiliates and agents (including by way of example the Servicer) in the origination, servicing and collecting of the Loans.

4.04.        Exclusive Representations and Warranties.  The representations and warranties made on the date of the execution of this Agreement and on the Purchase Date set forth in Section 4.02 and Section 4.03 above are the sole and exclusive representations and warranties made by Bank, its representatives, agents, officers, directors and other employees, with respect to this Agreement, any Loan, any obligor, and the sale of any Loan to Purchaser hereunder or otherwise.  No representation or warranty is made by Bank or Purchaser on any date subsequent to the Purchase Date.

V.            Repurchase

5.01.        Remedy for Breach of Representations and Warranties.

(a)                                  In the event that (i) any representation or warranty made by Bank in Section 4.02 or Section 4.03 of this Agreement shall prove to have been false, misleading or incorrect in any material respect on the date of this Agreement or on the Purchase Date, or (ii) any Loan becomes subject to a formal judicial proceeding or lawsuit filed by a borrower and/or cosigner, if any, or a third party, with respect to such Loan if the proceeding or suit is based upon the acts or omissions of Bank or its agents or Affiliates arising prior to the Purchase Date, Bank shall within thirty (30) days’ notice from Purchaser (which notice shall identify the Loan(s) and the basis for repurchase) repurchase such Loan or Loans from Purchaser for a cash purchase price equal to the Loan Repurchase Consideration.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Loan set forth in the Disclosure Schedule, if the sole basis for repurchase is identity theft, fraud or forgery on the part of the borrower or cosigner, if any, no representation or warranty made by Bank in Section 4.03 with respect to such Loan shall be deemed false, misleading or incorrect in any material respect on the date of this Agreement or on the Purchase Date unless and until (i) Purchaser delivers to Bank an affidavit in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Fraud Affidavit”) that has been duly completed and executed by the Eligible Borrower(s) of the Loan, to the good faith and reasonable satisfaction of Bank and (ii) the Loan defaults under the terms of the Credit Agreement and the Program Guidelines.

(b)                                 In the event that the basis for repurchase is correctable in the reasonable judgment of Bank, Bank shall notify Purchaser of its intent to attempt to correct the problem and shall have thirty (30) days from the date it receives notice pursuant to Section 5.01(a) to correct the problem to the reasonable satisfaction of the Purchaser before it is obligated to repurchase the Loan.

(c)                                  Subject to the foregoing, Bank shall remit by wire transfer the entire Loan Repurchase Consideration for the defective Loan(s) within three (3) Business Days of the expiration of the thirty (30) day notice period provided in Section 5.01(a) and as reasonably instructed by Purchaser, with notice to Purchaser of the amount of such remittance and the Loan(s) concerned.

5.02.        No later than one Business Day following receipt by Purchaser of the Loan Repurchase Consideration with respect to any Loan, Purchaser shall, or, if applicable, shall cause the related servicer to, deliver the related Credit Agreement or Credit Agreements and Loan Documents relating thereto to Bank, duly endorsed or assigned to Bank or to such person as Bank may direct, in any such case, without recourse to Purchaser

13

5.03.        Bank agrees that its obligations under this Article V shall not be affected by any modification of the terms of any Loan, including without limitation, any extension of the time of payment under the Loan, the release of an Eligible Borrower on the Loan, any compromises made with regard to such Loan or any other dealings by Purchaser in connection with such Loan, whether or not notice thereof has been given to Bank; provided, that any such modification, extension, release or compromise is consistent with the Program Guidelines and does not materially and adversely affect the enforceability of the Loan against the Eligible Borrower(s).  Bank further hereby waives presentment, demand for payment, notice of non-payment, notice of default, protest and any other demands or notices whatsoever in connection with such Loan except as set forth in this Article V.

VI.           Survival.  With respect to any Loan set forth in Annex A to Schedule III, any obligation of Bank to repurchase such Loan on the basis of identity theft, fraud or forgery on the part of the borrower or co-signer, if any, shall expire five years from the later of (a) the date hereof and (b) the date such Loan enters repayment status.  For the avoidance of doubt, Bank’s obligations under Article V shall not expire with respect to any Loan set forth on Schedule I or Schedule II hereto.  The obligation of Bank to indemnify Purchaser for breaches of covenants contained herein shall terminate within one year of the Purchase Date with respect to covenants solely to be performed or complied with at or prior to the Purchase Date.  The duty of confidentiality for Proprietary Information set forth in Article IX hereof shall survive termination of this Agreement.

VII.         Miscellaneous.

7.01.        Successors and Assigns.

(a)                                  All representations, warranties, covenants, obligations, and agreements herein contained shall inure to the benefit of and be obligatory upon all successors of the respective parties hereto, whether through merger, acquisition, or purchase of assets substantially equivalent to an acquisition, and shall survive the sale of any Loans hereunder and the termination of this Agreement (including by way of example but without limitation the repurchase-related obligations under Article V, the indemnities under Article VIII, Sections 7.06, 7.09, 7.13, 7.14, 7.16 and 7.17, and Article IX); provided, however, that any representations, warranties, covenants, obligations and agreements of Bank contained herein that are expressly assumed by The First Marblehead Corporation in conformance with Section 7.01(b) shall not be obligatory upon any successor of Bank.

14

7.04.        Entire Agreement.  This Agreement and the documents and agreements referred to herein, including the Bill of Sale and Disclosure Schedule, embody the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto and supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

8.01.        By Bank.  Bank shall pay for, and indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Purchaser (and its Affiliates and assigns) and any officer, director, employee or agent of any of the foregoing (herein, individually referred to as a “Bank Indemnified Person” and collectively referred to as the “Bank Indemnified Persons”) against, any and all liabilities, losses, costs, damages and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses and sums paid, liabilities incurred or expenses paid or incurred in connection with settling claims, suits or judgments or obtaining or attempting to obtain release from liability under this Agreement (collectively, “Loss”), which such Bank Indemnified Person may sustain or incur by reason of any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of Bank contained herein or any act of gross negligence or willful misconduct of Bank occurring prior to the Purchase Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligation of the Bank to indemnify Purchaser, and Purchaser’s right to make a claim against Bank for indemnification under Article VIII, shall terminate five years from the date hereof or expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, whichever is the later to occur; provided that the obligation of Bank to indemnify Purchaser, and Purchaser’s right to make a claim against Bank for indemnification under Article VIII, for breaches of covenants solely to be performed or complied with at or prior to the Purchase Date shall terminate one year after the Purchase Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any obligation to indemnify and hold harmless pursuant to this Article VIII hereof shall not terminate with respect to any item as to which any Bank Indemnified Person shall have, before the expiration of the applicable survival period, previously made a bona fide claim by delivering notice of such claim to the Bank indemnifying party in accordance with Article VIII until final resolution of such claim.  This section shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

8.02.        By Purchaser.  Purchaser shall pay for, and indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Bank and any officer, director, employee or agent of Bank (herein, collectively referred to as “Purchaser Indemnified Persons”) against, any and all Loss which such Purchaser Indemnified Person may sustain or incur by reason of any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of Purchaser contained herein or any act of gross negligence or willful misconduct of Purchaser occurring prior to the Purchase Date. 

17

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligation of the Purchaser to indemnify Bank, and Bank’s right to make a claim against Purchaser for indemnification under Article VIII, shall terminate five years from the date hereof or expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, whichever is the later to occur.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any obligation to indemnify and hold harmless pursuant to this Article VIII hereof shall not terminate with respect to any item as to which any Purchaser Indemnified Person shall have, before the expiration of the applicable survival period, previously made a bona fide claim by delivering notice of such claim to the Purchaser indemnifying party in accordance with Article VIII until final resolution of such claim.  This section shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

8.03.        Indemnity Procedures.

(a)                                  In the event that any claim or demand for which an indemnifying party would be liable to a Bank Indemnified Person or a Purchaser Indemnified Person (each, an “Indemnified Person”) hereunder is asserted against or sought to be collected from an Indemnified Person by a third party (an “Action”), the Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the indemnifying party of such Action, specifying the nature of such claim or demand in reasonable detail and the amount or the estimated amount thereof to the extent feasible (which estimate the parties agree shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such claims and demand) (the “Claim Notice”).  The failure to provide the Claim Notice to the indemnifying party promptly will not relieve the indemnifying party of any liability it may have to the Indemnified Person giving the Claim Notice, except to the extent that the indemnifying party demonstrates that the defense of such action is actually and materially prejudiced by the indemnifying party’s failure to give such Claim Notice promptly.  The indemnifying party shall have five (5) Business Days from receipt of the Claim Notice (the “Notice Period”) to notify the Indemnified Person in writing whether or not the indemnifying party, acting reasonably and in good faith, disputes liability to the Indemnified Person hereunder with respect to such claim or demand and such notification shall provide the rationale and factual basis for any such dispute (“Dispute Notice”).  Any Dispute Notice shall be resolved by the mutual agreement of the Indemnified Person and the indemnifying party or a final order, decree or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.  The Indemnified Person hereby covenants, undertakes and agrees that if it is ultimately determined (either by mutual agreement of the parties or by such final order, decree or judgment referred to in the previous sentence) that Indemnified Person was not entitled to be indemnified by the indemnifying party, the Indemnified Person shall reimburse the indemnifying party, within five (5) Business Days of such agreement or final order, decree or judgment, for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses) incurred by the indemnifying party in defending the related claim or demand, from the date on which the indemnifying party began defending such claim or demand, together with interest thereon from such date calculated at the prime rate plus 1.0%.

(b)                                 Notwithstanding any dispute by the indemnifying party of its liability with respect to any claim or demand, the indemnifying party shall have the obligation to defend the Indemnified Person by appropriate proceedings, which proceedings shall be promptly settled or prosecuted by the indemnifying party to a final conclusion in such a manner as to avoid any risk of the Indemnified Person becoming subject to liability for any other matter; provided, however, the indemnifying party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, consent to the entry of any judgment against the Indemnified Person or enter into any settlement or compromise which (i) involves financial compensation by the Indemnified Person, and (ii) does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnified

18

Person of a release, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, as the case may be, from all liability with respect to such claim or litigation. If any Indemnified Person desires settlement without the prior consent of the indemnifying party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, it may do so at its sole cost and expense. The Indemnified Person shall also be permitted to participate in the defense of any Action at its sole cost and expense. In any event, the Indemnified Person and the indemnifying party shall provide reasonable cooperation and assistance to the other and its counsel in connection with the defense or settlement of any Action.

(c)                                  Pending the resolution of any dispute by the indemnifying party of its liability with respect to any claim or demand, such claim or demand shall not be settled without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld so long as the Indemnified Person suffers no economic loss thereby and such settlement includes an unconditional term thereof given by the claimant or plaintiff of a release of the Indemnified Person from all liability with respect to the claim or demand.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if it is reasonably likely that damages in such Action would result in an injunction or other equitable relief then the Indemnified Person may, by notice to the indemnifying party, assume the right to defend, compromise or settle such Action; provided, the indemnifying party may participate in such Action at its expense and; provided, further, no such Action shall be settled without the consent of both the Indemnified Person and the indemnifying party.

(d)                                 If the indemnifying party fails to assume defense of the Indemnified Person against such Action within five (5) Business Days of receipt of the Claim Notice or, if a Dispute Notice is provided, within five (5) Business Days after receipt by Indemnified Person of the Dispute Notice, then the Action may be defended by the Indemnified Person at the indemnifying party’s cost and expense (without imposing any obligation on any Indemnified Person to defend any such claim or demand), in which case it may defend such Action in such a manner as it may deem appropriate (including settlement) and then that portion thereof as to which such defense is unsuccessful, in each case, shall be deemed to be a liability of the indemnifying party hereunder; provided that if the indemnifying party shall have disputed its liability to the Indemnified Person hereunder, as provided in Section 8.03(a) above, then such determination or settlement shall not affect the right of the indemnifying party to dispute the Indemnified Person’s claim for indemnification or the indemnifying party’s liability under this Section 8.03(d).

(e)                                  In the event an Indemnified Person should have a claim against the indemnifying party hereunder that does not involve a claim or demand being asserted against or sought to be collected from it by a third party, the Indemnified Person shall promptly send a Claim Notice with respect to such claim to the indemnifying party.  If the indemnifying party disputes its liability with respect to such claim or demand, the Indemnified Person shall have the right to pursue all of its legal and equitable remedies against the indemnifying party for indemnity hereunder.

8.04.        Payment.  Upon the determination of the liability under Section 8.03 hereof, the indemnifying party shall pay to the Indemnified Person within five (5) Business Days after such determination, the amount of any claim for indemnification made hereunder, subject to the limitations set forth herein.  Upon payment in full of any claim, either by set off or otherwise, the entity making payment shall be subrogated to the rights of the Indemnified Person against any person, with respect to the subject matter of such claim.

19

9.01.        Prior Agreement.  The terms of any existing confidentiality agreement between the parties hereto are hereby superseded and replaced with this Article IX as of the date of this Agreement.

9.02.        Proprietary Information.  All information which is disclosed by a Disclosing Party shall be presumed to be Proprietary Information and “confidential” unless otherwise specifically identified in writing by the Disclosing Party.  Except with regard to Customer Information that becomes Proprietary Information of Purchaser upon the purchase of the Loans hereunder (which is governed by Section 9.03(a)), the Receiving Party agrees to hold in confidence, and agrees not to disclose to any person outside of its organization, any Proprietary Information disclosed to the Receiving Party by the Disclosing Party and agrees, in perpetuity, not to use Proprietary Information for any purpose other than performance of this Agreement or otherwise as permitted by Applicable Law.  Receiving Party further agrees not to copy or disclose, directly or indirectly, to any third party any Proprietary Information of Disclosing Party without the prior written consent of Disclosing Party, except as necessary to fulfill obligations under this Agreement or to third parties in accordance with Applicable Law and provided that (a) such Receiving Party has executed written agreements with such third parties having provisions that comply with the provisions of this Article IX and (b) Receiving Party remains responsible for any unauthorized use or disclosure of any Proprietary Information by any person to whom it discloses Proprietary Information.  Receiving Party may disclose Proprietary Information to its Affiliates or third parties for purposes of performing this Agreement, but only if Receiving Party assures that each such Affiliate or third party conforms to the requirements of confidentiality and the restrictions on use set forth in this section, as well as the safeguarding rules (Section 9.05) applicable to Receiving Party hereunder, Receiving Party has executed written agreements with such Affiliates and third parties providing for the same, and Receiving Party remains responsible for any unauthorized use or disclosure of any Proprietary Information by any person to whom it discloses Proprietary Information.

9.03.        Customer Information.

(a)                                  Customer Information becomes the Proprietary Information of Purchaser upon purchase of Loans hereunder, and Bank and its Affiliates agree (i) to hold in confidence, and not to sell nor directly or indirectly release, transfer or disclose in any manner to any person other than its Affiliates, agents and representatives, such Customer Information, in perpetuity; provided, however, that Bank and its Affiliates shall only be permitted to directly or indirectly release, transfer or disclose Customer Information to their respective agents on a de-identified basis, (ii) not to use, or suffer, permit or cause to be used, such Customer Information for any purpose other than performance of this Agreement or as permitted under Applicable Law; it being understood and agreed that notwithstanding the foregoing, Bank and its Affiliates shall not at any time directly or indirectly market or cross-sell, or suffer, permit or cause the marketing or cross-selling of, any products or services of any kind to Eligible Borrowers unless Bank or its Affiliates, as applicable, has first obtained Purchaser’s prior written approval, and  (iii) not to copy or disclose, directly or indirectly, to any third party any such Customer Information without the Purchaser’s prior written consent, except as necessary to fulfill obligations under this Agreement or otherwise permitted under Section 9.03(a)(i), 9.03(a)(ii) and 9.03(a)(iii) with respect to Affiliates, agents and representatives.  The Bank may disclose such Customer Information to its Affiliates or third parties as permitted under Section 

20

9.03(a)(i), 9.03(a)(ii) and 9.03(a)(iii), but only if the Bank assures that each such Affiliate or third party conforms to the requirements of confidentiality, protection, and the restrictions on use set forth in this Section 9.03, as well as the safeguarding rules (Section 9.05) applicable to the Bank hereunder, the Bank has executed written agreements with such Affiliates and third parties providing for the same, and the Bank remains responsible for any unauthorized use or disclosure of any such Customer Information by any person to whom it discloses such Information.

(b)                                 In accordance with the provisions of Title V, Subtitle A of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the “GLB Act”), its implementing regulations, the guidelines issued pursuant to §501 of the GLB Act, and any similar and applicable federal and state law and regulation, as in effect from time to time, Bank and Purchaser agree to respect and protect the security and confidentiality of any Customer Information, including, without limitation, establishing and maintaining an information security program designed to meet the objectives of the foregoing laws, regulations, and guidelines.

(c)                                  For purposes of Section 9.03(a)

(i)            information is “de-identified” when it does not identify an individual and there is no reasonable basis to believe that the information can be used to identify an individual.  Information is considered “de-identified” if it does not contain any of the items in subsection (c)(ii) below and if the remaining information could not be used alone, or in combination, to identify a subject of the information; and

(ii)           de-identified information does not include (A) the name, street or mail address, city, email address, date of birth, telephone number, cell phone (or other wireless device) number, fax number, social security number, account number, demographic, financial and employment application data, vehicle identifiers and serial numbers, including license plate numbers, or any other personally identifying information, including without limitation, financial, medical, health-related or demographic-related information, about or relating to any current, prospective (i.e. applicant) or former borrower or cosigner, if any, of a Loan, or (B) any nonpublic personal information (within the meaning of Title V of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and its implementing regulations, or any similar provision under any other applicable law) regarding Eligible Borrower(s) (other than the fact that such borrower or cosigner, if any, was a customer of Bank).

9.04.        Legal Process Exception.  Neither the Receiving Party nor the Disclosing Party shall be liable for the disclosure of Proprietary Information if such party is requested or required (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents in legal proceedings, subpoena, civil investigative demand, administrative proceedings or similar process, or by the rules or regulations of any regulatory or self-regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such party) to disclose such Proprietary Information; provided, however, that such party shall exercise the same efforts to protect the confidentiality of such information as it would for its own confidential information pursuant to legal process and shall (a) to the extent permitted by applicable law, provide the other party with prompt notice of such request or requirement (including a copy thereof) so that such other party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Article IX and (b) at the request of such other party, cooperate with such other party, at such other party’s expense, to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Proprietary Information by such tribunal or other entity.

9.05.        Safeguards.  To secure the confidentiality attaching to the Proprietary Information, Receiving Party shall:

21

(a)                                  Allow access to the Proprietary Information exclusively to those employees or agents of the Receiving Party who have reasonable need to see and use it for the purposes of its evaluation by the Receiving Party and shall inform each of said employees of the confidential nature of Proprietary Information and of the obligations of the Receiving Party in respect thereof;

(b)                                 Obtain from each third party adviser having access to the Proprietary Information a written undertaking to maintain the same confidential, and shall take such steps as may be reasonably necessary to enforce such obligations; and

(c)                                  Make copies of the Proprietary Information only to the extent that the same is strictly required for the purposes of its evaluation by the Receiving Party.

9.06.        Patents; Copyright.  In the event that any Proprietary Information is or becomes the subject of one or more patents, copyrights or applications therefor, the Receiving Party agrees and understands that the Disclosing Party will have all the rights and remedies available to it as a result of such patents, copyrights or applications.

9.07.        Non-Disparagement.  The Receiving Party shall not make any false, disparaging or derogatory statements to any media outlet, industry group, financial institution, competitor, customer, vendor or any other third party regarding Disclosing Party or the Loans.

9.08.        Remedies.  The parties agree that any breach or threatened breach of this Article IX by a Receiving Party would cause not only financial harm, but irreparable harm to the Disclosing Party; that money damages will not provide an adequate remedy.  In the event of a breach or threatened breach of this Article IX by a Receiving Party, the Disclosing Party shall, in addition to any other rights and remedies it may have, be entitled to an injunction (without the necessity of posting any bond or surety) restraining the Receiving Party from disclosing or using, in whole or in part, any Customer Information (if it is the subject of the breach of this Agreement) or Proprietary Information except as necessary to perform its obligations under this Agreement.  This provision with respect to injunctive relief will not, however, diminish the non-breaching party’s right to seek other legal, contractual or equitable remedies, or to claim and recover damages.

X.            Termination

10.01.      Termination.  The parties’ obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated herein may be terminated on or at any time prior to the Purchase Date:

(a)                                  By the mutual written consent of Purchaser and Bank;

(b)                                 By Bank pursuant to notice to Purchaser in the event that the condition set forth in Section 3.01(b)(iii) shall have not been satisfied by Purchaser by October 16, 2009;

(c)                                  By either party, if Bank has been advised by the Office of Thrift Supervision that Bank will not receive approval of the transactions contemplated herein.

10.02.      Effect of Termination.  In the event of the termination of the parties’ obligations to effect the transactions contemplated herein, the terms of this Agreement shall forthwith become void and of no further force and effect except that (i) the parties’ respective obligations under Article VIII and Article IX shall survive such termination and (ii) no such termination shall relieve any party hereto from any liability for any knowing or intentional breach of such terms or lack of good faith.
