Each party agrees and acknowledges that no loans, credit card relationships, trust and custody relationships, or brokerage or investment management relationships are being sold hereby. Further, except as contemplated by Section 7.8, no right to the use of any trade name, trademark or service mark, if any, of Seller, BBX or any of their respective Affiliates, is being sold hereby.

2.2 Assumption of Liabilities. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, Purchaser shall assume, pay, perform and discharge the duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of Seller (or, with respect to the Warehouse Lease, BBX) to be discharged, performed, satisfied or paid on or after the Closing Date (or the Transfer Date with respect to a Transferred Employee) with respect to the following (collectively, the “Assumed Liabilities”):

(i)

2.3 Purchase Price. The purchase price (“Purchase Price”) for the Assets shall be the sum of:

(a) An amount equal to 10% of the average daily closing balance of the Deposits (excluding for purposes of such calculation, all Accrued Interest on the Deposits) for the period commencing thirty (30) calendar days prior to and inclusive of the third (3rd) Business Day prior to the Closing Date and ending on the third (3rd) Business Day prior to the Closing Date (the “Purchase Price Premium”);

Purchaser (or such Affiliate) will not be required to assume a Keogh Account unless Purchaser (or such Affiliate) has received the documents necessary for such assumption at or before the Closing. With respect to any owner of a Keogh Account who does not adopt Purchaser’s (or such affiliate’s) form of Keogh Master Plan, Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts in order to enable Purchaser (or such Affiliate) to retain such Keogh Accounts at the Branches.

(c) If, notwithstanding the foregoing, as of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall be unable to retain deposit liabilities in respect of an IRA or Keogh Account, such deposit liabilities, which shall on or prior to the Closing Date be set forth on Schedule 2.4(c), shall be excluded from Deposits for purposes of this Agreement and shall constitute “Excluded IRA/Keogh Account Deposits.”

Any adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 3.3 shall be allocated among the Assets by reference to the item or items to which such adjustment is attributable.

Seller will notify the holders of Deposits to be transferred on the Closing Date that, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Purchaser will be assuming liability for such Deposits; and

each of Seller and Purchaser shall provide, or join in providing where appropriate, all notices to customers of the Branches and other Persons that either Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, is required to give under applicable law or the terms of any other agreement between Seller and any customer in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

A party proposing to send or publish any notice or communication pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall furnish to the other party a copy of the proposed form of such notice or communication, to the extent reasonably practicable, three (3) Business Days in advance of the proposed date of the first mailing, posting, or other dissemination thereof to customers, and shall not unreasonably refuse to amend such notice to incorporate any changes that the other such party proposes as necessary to comply with applicable law. All costs and expenses of any notice or communication sent or published by Purchaser or Seller shall be the responsibility of the party sending such notice or communication and all costs and expenses of any jointly sent notice or communication shall be shared equally by Seller and Purchaser. Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to, as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within twenty one (21) calendar days after the date hereof, provide to Purchaser a report of the names and addresses of the owners of the Deposits and the lessees of the safe deposit boxes as of a

recent date hereof in connection with the mailing of such materials and Seller shall provide updates to such report at reasonable intervals thereafter upon the reasonable request of Purchaser from time to time. No communications by Purchaser, and no communications by Seller outside the ordinary course of business, to any such owners, borrowers, customers or lessees as such shall be made prior to the Closing Date except as provided in this Agreement or otherwise agreed to by the parties in writing.

(b) Following the giving of any notice described in paragraph (a) above, Purchaser and Seller shall deliver to each new customer at any of the Branches such notice or notices as may be reasonably necessary to notify such new customers of Purchaser’s pending assumption of liability for the Deposits and to comply with applicable law.

(c) Neither Purchaser nor Seller shall object to the use, by depositors of the Deposits, of payment orders issued to or ordered by such depositors on or prior to the Closing Date, which payment orders bear the name, or any logo, trademark, service mark or the proprietary mark of Seller, BBX or any of their respective Affiliates; provided, however, that Purchaser shall notify Deposit account customers that, upon the expiration of a post-Closing processing period, which shall be ninety (90) calendar days after the Closing Date (the “Post-Closing Processing Period”), any Items that are drawn on Seller shall not thereafter be honored by Seller. Such notice shall be given by delivering written instructions to such effect to such Deposit account customers in accordance with this Section 4.2.

(d) During the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the ninetieth (90th) calendar day thereafter, Seller shall, by commercially reasonable efforts and at Purchaser’s expense, (A) accept as a correspondent bank for forwarding to Purchaser all Items that are presented to Seller for payment or credit in any manner including through Seller’s Federal Reserve cash letters or correspondent bank cash letters or deposited by Deposit account customers, correspondent banks or others but excluding ATM withdrawals, deposits and transfers unless initiated with an automated teller machine card issued by Purchaser; and (B) send all such items in the form of an ICL (Image Cash Letter) and make available to Purchaser no later than 8:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day after presentation to Seller.

Seller will transfer to Purchaser on the Closing Date all of those automated clearing house (“ACH”) and FedWire direct deposit arrangements related (by agreement or other standing arrangement, if any) to the Deposits that are in Seller’s ACH warehouse system and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to so transfer any other such arrangements. For a period of ninety (90) calendar days following the Closing, in the case of ACH direct deposits to accounts constituting Deposits (the final Business Day of such period being the “ACH Direct Deposit Cut-Off Date”), Seller shall transfer to Purchaser all received ACH direct deposits each Business Day at 7:00 a.m., New York City time, to the extent reasonably practicable, but in any event not later than 7:30 a.m., New York City time. Such transfers shall contain Direct Deposits effective for that Business Day only. On each Business Day, for a period of ninety (90) calendar days following the Closing Date (the final Business

Day of such period being the “FedWire Direct Deposit Cut-Off Date”), FedWires received by Seller for credit to accounts constituting Deposits shall be returned (as soon as is practicable after receipt) to the originator with an indication of Purchaser’s correct Wire Room contact information and an instruction that such wire should be sent to Purchaser. Compensation for ACH direct deposits or FedWire direct deposits not forwarded to Purchaser on the same Business Day as that on which Seller has received such deposits will be handled in accordance with the applicable rules established by the United States Council on International Banking. After the respective ACH Direct Deposit Cut-Off Date or FedWire Direct Deposit Cut-Off Date, Seller may discontinue accepting and forwarding ACH and FedWire entries and funds and return such direct deposits to the originators marked “Account Closed.” Seller and its Affiliates shall not be liable for any overdrafts that may thereby be created. Purchaser and Seller shall agree on a reasonable period of time prior to the Closing during which Seller will no longer be obligated to accept new direct deposit arrangements related to the Branches. At the time of the ACH Direct Deposit Cut-Off Date, Purchaser will provide ACH originators with account numbers relating to the Deposits.

4.4 Direct Debits. As soon as practicable after the notice provided in Section 4.2(a), Purchaser shall send appropriate notice to all customers having accounts constituting Deposits the terms of which provide for direct debit of such accounts by third parties, instructing such customers concerning the transfer of customer direct debit authorizations from Seller to Purchaser. Such notice shall be in a form reasonably agreed to by the parties. For a period of ninety (90) calendar days following the Closing, Seller shall transfer to Purchaser all received direct debits on accounts constituting Deposits each Business Day at 7:00 a.m., New York City time, to the extent reasonably practicable, but in any event not later than 7:30 a.m., New York City time. Such transfers shall contain Direct Debits effective for that Business Day only. Thereafter, Seller may discontinue forwarding such entries and return them to the originators marked “Account Closed.” Purchaser and Seller shall agree on a reasonable period of time prior to the Closing during which Seller will no longer be obligated to accept new direct debit arrangements related to the Branches. Beginning on the Closing Date, Purchaser shall provide ACH originators of such Direct Debits with account numbers relating to the Deposits.

4.5 Access to Records. (a) From and after the Closing Date, each of the parties shall permit the other, at such other party’s sole expense, reasonable access to any applicable Records in its possession or control relating to matters arising on or before the Closing Date and reasonably necessary, solely in connection with (i) accounting purposes, (ii) regulatory purposes, (iii) any claim, action, litigation or other proceeding involving the party requesting access to such Records, (iv) any legal obligation owed by such party to any present or former depositor or other customer, or (v) Tax purposes, subject to confidentiality requirements. Such party requesting such access shall not use the Records or any information contained therein or derived therefrom for any other purpose whatsoever. All Records, whether held by Purchaser or Seller, shall be maintained for such periods as are required by law, unless the parties shall agree in writing to a longer period. Between the date hereof and the Closing Date, Purchaser and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to agree to policies and procedures to be followed by each party in connection with any request by Purchaser, following the Closing Date, for Seller to provide it with Records retained by Seller following the Closing.

(b) Each party agrees that any records or documents that come into its possession as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, to the extent relating to the other party’s business and not relating to the Assets, the Assumed Liabilities or the business of the Branches (which becomes the property of Purchaser), shall remain the property of the other party, and shall, upon the other party’s request from time to time and as it may elect in its sole discretion, be returned to the other party or destroyed, and each party agrees not to make any use of such records or documents and to keep such records and documents confidential in accordance with Section 7.2(c).

4.6 Interest Reporting and Withholding. (a) Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties, Seller will report to applicable taxing authorities and holders of Deposits, with respect to the period from January 1 of the year in which the Closing occurs through the Closing Date, all interest (including dividends and other distributions with respect to money market accounts) credited to, withheld from and any early withdrawal penalties imposed upon, the Deposits. Purchaser will report to the applicable taxing authorities and holders of Deposits, with respect to all periods from the day after the Closing Date, all such interest credited to, withheld from and any early withdrawal penalties imposed upon, the Deposits. Any amounts required by any governmental agencies to be withheld from any of the Deposits through the Closing Date will be withheld by Seller in accordance with applicable law or appropriate notice from any governmental agency and will be remitted by Seller to the appropriate agency on or prior to the applicable due date. Any such withholding required to be made subsequent to the Closing Date will be withheld by Purchaser in accordance with applicable law or appropriate notice from any governmental agency and will be remitted by Purchaser to the appropriate agency on or prior to the applicable due date.

(b) Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, Seller shall be responsible for delivering to payees all IRS notices and forms with respect to information reporting and tax identification numbers required to be delivered through the Closing Date with respect to the Deposits, and Purchaser shall be responsible for delivering to payees all such notices and forms required to be delivered following the Closing Date with respect to the Deposits.

4.7 Negotiable Instruments. Seller will remove any supply of Seller’s money orders, official checks, gift checks, travelers’ checks or any other negotiable instruments located at each of the Branches on the Closing Date.

4.8 ATM/Debit Cards; POS Cards. Seller will use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide Purchaser with a list of ATM access/debit cards and Point-of-Sale (“POS”) cards issued by Seller to depositors of any Deposits, and a record thereof in a format reasonably agreed to by the parties containing all addresses therefor, no later than twenty-one (21) calendar days after the date of this Agreement, and Seller will provide Purchaser with an updated record forty-five (45) calendar days prior to the Closing Date. At or promptly after the Closing, Seller will provide Purchaser with a revised record through the Closing. In instances where a depositor of a Deposit made an assertion of error regarding an account pursuant to the Electronic Funds Transfer Act and Federal Reserve Board Regulation E, and Seller, prior to the Closing, recredited the disputed amount to the relevant account during the conduct of the error investigation, Purchaser agrees to comply with a written request from Seller to debit such account in a stated amount and remit such amount to Seller, to the extent of the balance of funds

available in the accounts. Seller agrees to indemnify Purchaser for any claims or losses that Purchaser may incur as a result of complying with such request from Seller. Seller and Purchaser shall discuss in good faith the option of having Seller transfer customers’ PINs to Purchaser at Closing. In the context of such discussions, Seller will disclose to Purchaser customers’ PINs as reasonably necessary to effectuate any such transfer, it being agreed that Purchaser shall protect the confidentiality of such PINs in accordance with protocols Purchaser uses to protect its customers’ PINs. Following receipt of all Regulatory Approvals (except for the expiration of statutory waiting periods), Purchaser shall reissue ATM access/debit cards to depositors of any Deposits not earlier than forty-five (45) Business Days nor later than fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, which cards shall be effective on or before 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Closing Date. Purchaser and Seller agree to settle any and all ATM transactions and POS transactions effected on or before 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Closing Date, but processed after the Closing Date, as soon as practicable. In addition, Purchaser assumes responsibility for and agrees to pay on presentation all POS transactions initiated before or after the Closing with POS cards issued by Seller to access Transaction Accounts.

Within ten (10) Business Days of the date of this Agreement, Purchaser and/or its representatives shall be permitted reasonable access (subject to the provisions of Section 7.2(a)) to review each Branch for the purpose of installing automated equipment for use by Branch personnel. Following the receipt of the Regulatory Approvals (except for the expiration of statutory waiting periods) or with the approval of Seller, Purchaser shall be permitted, at its expense and without unreasonably interfering with the operations of the Branches, to install and test communication lines, both internal and external, from each site and prepare for the installation of automated equipment on the Closing Date.

(b) As soon as practicable and in no event more than three (3) Business Days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall mail to each depositor in respect of a Transaction Account (i) a letter approved by Seller requesting that such depositor promptly cease writing Seller’s drafts against such Transaction Account and (ii) new drafts which such depositor may draw upon Purchaser against such Transaction Accounts. Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause these depositors to begin using such drafts and cease using drafts bearing Seller’s name. The parties hereto shall use commercially reasonable efforts to develop procedures that cause Seller’s drafts against Transaction Accounts received after the Closing Date to be cleared through Purchaser’s then-current clearing procedures. During the ninety (90) calendar day period after the Closing Date, if it is not possible to clear Transaction Account drafts through Purchaser’s then-current clearing procedures, Seller shall make available to Purchaser as soon as practicable but in no event more than three (3) Business Days after receipt all Transaction Account drafts drawn against Transaction Accounts. Seller shall have no obligation to pay such forwarded Transaction Account drafts. Upon the expiration of such ninety (90) calendar day period, Seller shall cease forwarding drafts against Transaction Accounts. Seller shall be compensated for its processing of the drafts and for other services rendered to Purchaser during the ninety (90) calendar day period following the Closing Date in accordance with Schedule 4.9.

Except as set forth below, Returned Items shall be the responsibility of Seller. If depositor’s bank account at Seller is charged for the Returned Item, Seller shall forward such Returned Item to Purchaser. If upon Purchaser’s receipt of such Returned Item there are sufficient funds in the Deposit to which such Returned Item was credited or any other Deposit transferred at the Closing standing in the name of the party liable for such Returned Item, Purchaser will debit any or all of such Deposits an amount equal in the aggregate to the Returned Item, and shall repay that amount to Seller. If there are not sufficient funds in the Deposit because of Purchaser’s failure to honor holds placed on such Deposit, Purchaser shall repay the amount of such Returned Item to Seller. Any items that were credited for deposit to or cashed against an account at the Branches to be transferred at the Closing prior to the Closing and are returned unpaid more than ninety (90) calendar days after the Closing will be the responsibility of Seller.

(e) Prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser will open and maintain a demand deposit account with Seller for deposits, to be used for settlement activity following the Closing Date. Seller will provide Purchaser with a daily statement for this account and Purchaser will be responsible for initiating all funding and draw-down activity against this account. Purchaser will ensure that all debit (negative) balances are funded no later than one day following the day the account went into a negative status. Activity that will be settled through this account will include but not be limited to: items drawn on a Deposit but presented to Seller for payment, ACH transactions, Direct Debit transactions and Returned Items.

4.10 Employee Training. In accordance with Section 7.2 and after receipt of Regulatory Approvals (except for the expiration of statutory waiting periods), Seller and Purchaser shall agree to mutually acceptable terms and conditions under which Purchaser shall be permitted to provide training to Seller’s employees at the Branches who are reasonably anticipated to become Transferred Employees. Any such training will be conducted in a manner that will not unreasonably interfere with the business activities of the Branches. Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for the additional time spent by, and all related, reasonable travel expenses incurred by, any such prospective Transferred Employee in connection with such training activities to the extent such time and expenses would not have been spent or incurred by such prospective Transferred Employee but for such training activities, and Purchaser shall pay the full salary or wages of replacement employees for such prospective Transferred Employees excused from their duties at the Branches for such training activities for the periods during which such prospective Transferred Employees are excused, where such replacement employees are reasonably determined by Seller (and reasonably agreed to by Purchaser) to be needed to maintain ongoing operations at the Branches without disruption. Such training activities may take place, as mutually agreed by the parties, at a Branch or off-site. As promptly as practicable

following the date of this Agreement, Purchaser shall provide Seller with Purchaser’s proposed plan for the training of all anticipated Transferred Employees and, within ten (10) Business Days of Seller’s receipt of such plan, Seller shall provide Purchaser with an estimate of the anticipated costs of implementing Purchaser’s proposed training program. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller and Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate in good faith to minimize the costs of such training program in a manner consistent with achieving its intended purpose.

Seller shall furnish Purchaser with such additional financial and operating data and other information about its business operations at the Branches as may be reasonably necessary for the orderly transfer of the business operations of the Branches and for purposes of enabling Purchaser to comply with its securities law disclosure obligations, and Purchaser shall be responsible for any documented, out-of-pocket third party costs reasonably incurred by Seller in connection with furnishing such information; provided, however, that Seller shall, when commercially reasonable, utilize its internal resources; and provided, further, that nothing herein shall afford Purchaser the right to review any information relating to loans held by Seller, including information regarding borrowers or any information relating to Seller’s other branches, facilities and operations not subject to this Agreement. Any investigation pursuant to this Section 7.2(a) shall be conducted in such manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of Seller’s business. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Purchaser may meet with Branch Employees, as well as with any regional directors who have responsibility for the Branches and Facilities, promptly following execution of this Agreement and through the Closing to discuss employment retention and other employment related matters at mutually agreeable times and so long as such meetings do not interfere unreasonably with the conduct of Seller’s business and Seller is provided advance notice of such meetings and is permitted to have one or more representative(s) of Seller attend such meetings. Furthermore, Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Purchaser and will make available at Purchaser’s reasonable request during the period from the date of this Agreement until the Closing Date, during business hours and without unreasonably interfering with the operations of Seller, Seller’s experienced technical personnel for consultations with Purchaser concerning transition matters and other than the matters referred to in Section 4.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not be required to provide access to or disclose information where such access or disclosure would impose an unreasonable burden on Seller or any employee of Seller, would violate the rights of customers, or would, based on

the advice of outside counsel, result in the loss of any attorney-client privilege or contravene any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, decree, or binding agreement entered into and disclosed to Purchaser prior to the date of this Agreement. Seller and Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements under circumstances in which the restrictions of the preceding sentence apply.

(b) Seller shall permit Purchaser, at Purchaser’s expense, to cause a “phase I environmental audit” and a “phase II environmental audit” to be performed at each Branch and Facility at any time prior to the Closing Date; provided, however, that Purchaser shall have the right to conduct a “phase II environmental audit” prior to the Closing only to the extent that a “phase II environmental audit” is within the scope of additional testing recommended by the “phase I environmental audit” to be performed as a result of a “Recognized Environmental Condition” (as such term is defined by The American Society for Testing Materials) that was discovered in the “phase I environmental audit.” Prior to performing any “phase II environmental audits,” Purchaser will provide Seller with a copy of its proposed work plan and Purchaser will cooperate in good faith with Seller to address any comments or suggestions made by Seller regarding the work plan. Purchaser and its environmental consultant shall conduct all environmental assessments pursuant to this Section 7.2(b) at mutually agreeable times and so as to or minimize interference with Seller’s operation of its business. Purchaser shall be required to restore each Owned Real Property to its pre-assessment condition. All costs and expenses incurred in connection with any “phase I environmental audit” and any “phase II environmental audit,” and any restoration and clean up required to restore each Owned Real Property to its pre-assessment condition, shall be borne solely by Purchaser.

(c) From and after the date of this Agreement, Seller shall keep confidential non-public information in its possession relating to Purchaser, its Affiliates, the Branches, the Facilities, the Assets and the Assumed Liabilities; provided, however, that Seller shall not be liable hereunder with respect to any disclosure to the extent such disclosure is required pursuant to legal process (including pursuant to the assertion of Seller’s rights under this Agreement) (by interrogatories, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process), regulatory process or request, or to the extent such disclosure is reasonably necessary for purposes of compliance by Seller or its Affiliates with tax or regulatory reporting requirements; provided that in the event of any disclosure pursuant to legal process Seller exercises commercially reasonable efforts to preserve the confidentiality of the non-public information disclosed, including by cooperating with Purchaser to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the non-public information required to be disclosed.

(d) From and after the Closing, Purchaser shall keep confidential non-public information in its possession (other than information which was or becomes available to Purchaser on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Seller or any of its Affiliates) relating to Seller and its Affiliates other than the Branches, the Facilities, the Assets and the Assumed Liabilities; provided, however that Purchaser shall not be liable hereunder with respect to any disclosure to the extent such disclosure is required pursuant to legal process (including pursuant to the assertion of Purchaser’s rights under this Agreement) (by interrogatories, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) or regulatory process or request; provided that in the event of any disclosure pursuant to legal process Purchaser exercises commercially reasonable efforts to preserve the confidentiality of the non-public information

disclosed, including by cooperating with Seller to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the non-public information required to be disclosed.

7.3 Regulatory Approvals. (a) As soon as practicable and in no event later than thirty (30) calendar days after the date of this Agreement, Purchaser shall prepare and file any applications, notices and filing required in order to obtain the Regulatory Approvals. Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain each such approval as promptly as reasonably practicable. Seller shall cooperate in connection therewith (including the furnishing of any information and any reasonable undertaking or commitments that may be required to obtain the Regulatory Approvals). Each party will provide the other with copies of any applications and all correspondence relating thereto prior to filing, other than material filed in connection therewith under a claim of confidentiality. If any Regulatory Authority shall require the modification of any of the terms and provisions of this Agreement as a condition to granting the Regulatory Approvals, the parties hereto will negotiate in good faith and use commercially reasonable efforts to seek a mutually agreeable adjustment to the terms of the transaction contemplated hereby, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(b) The parties shall promptly advise each other upon receiving any communication from any Regulatory Authority whose consent or approval is required for consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement that causes such party to believe that there is a reasonable likelihood that the Regulatory Approvals or any other consent or approval required hereunder will not be obtained or that the receipt of any such approval will be materially delayed.

(c) Purchaser shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates to not, knowingly take any action that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect with respect to Purchaser.

7.4 Consents. (a) Seller agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from lessors under Branch Leases, Facility Leases, Equipment Leases and counterparties under Assumed Contracts and any other parties the consent of which is required in order to assign or transfer any Asset or Deposit to Purchaser on the Closing Date, any required consents to such assignment or transfer to Purchaser on the Closing Date; provided that, in the case of any Branch Lease, Equipment Lease, Assumed Contract or any Facility Leases, if any consent set forth in this Section 7.4(a) is not obtained notwithstanding Seller’s use of commercially reasonable efforts as required hereunder, the parties shall negotiate in good faith and Seller and Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make alternative arrangements reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser that provide Purchaser, to the maximum extent reasonably possible, the benefits and burdens of the properties subject to Branch Leases, Equipment Leases, Assumed Contracts and Facility Leases in a manner that does not violate the applicable Branch Lease, Equipment Lease, Assumed Contract or Facility Lease (for the same cost as would have applied if the relevant consent had been obtained); provided, further, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither Purchaser nor Seller, nor any of their respective Affiliates, shall be required to commence any litigation or offer or grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise) to any third party to obtain such authorizations, approvals, consents, negative clearances or waivers; and provided, further, that, notwithstanding anything in this

Agreement to the contrary, neither Purchaser nor Seller shall be obligated to incur any monetary obligations or expenditures to the parties whose consent is requested (in the case of Seller, in connection with the utilization of its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any such required consents). Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the Equipment Leases and Assumed Contracts, if Seller is unable to obtain any consent contemplated by this Section 7.4(a) after using its commercially reasonable efforts, Seller may terminate the applicable Equipment Lease or Assumed Contract at Seller’s sole expense, it being agreed that effective as of such termination, such Equipment Lease or Assumed Contract shall not constitute an Asset under this Agreement. If any alternative arrangement is implemented between Seller and Purchaser at or prior to the Closing, the parties shall continue after the Closing to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the related consents that could not be obtained prior to the Closing, and, if such a consent is obtained, Seller shall assign to Purchaser the applicable Branch Lease, Equipment Lease, Assumed Contract or Facility Lease pursuant to the terms of this Agreement applicable to leases assigned at the Closing, and the parties shall restructure the applicable alternative arrangement.

(b) Unless otherwise directed by Purchaser, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to procure estoppel certificates substantially in the form of Schedule 7.4(b)-1 attached hereto, from each lessor under Branch Leases and the Facility Leases, and in the form of Schedule 7.4(b)-2 from each subtenant under Tenant Leases, which certificates shall be at the expense of Purchaser; provided that in the case of any Branch Lease or Facility Lease, if any estoppel certificate as set forth in this Section 7.4(b) is not obtained, notwithstanding Seller’s use of commercially reasonable efforts as required hereunder, the Assets and Assumed Liabilities associated with the subject Branch or Facility shall be transferred to Purchaser and the parties shall negotiate in good faith and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make alternative arrangements reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser with respect to such Branch Lease or Facility Lease; provided, further, that Seller shall not be obligated to incur any monetary obligations or expenditures to lessors or subtenants in connection with the utilization of commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such estoppel certificates.

(c) Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to procure non-disturbance agreements from any mortgage lender holding a mortgage lien on any Real Property at which a Branch Lease or Facility Lease is operated, substantially in the form of Schedule 7.4(c); provided, however, Seller shall not be obligated to incur any monetary obligations or expenditures to mortgage lenders in connection with the utilization of commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such non-disturbance agreements.

7.5 Efforts to Consummate; Further Assurances. (a) Purchaser and Seller agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy or cause to be satisfied as soon as practicable their respective obligations hereunder and the conditions precedent to the Closing.

(b) From time to time following the Closing, at Purchaser’s request and at Purchaser’s expense, Seller will duly execute and deliver such assignments, bills of sale, deeds, acknowledgments and other instruments of conveyance and transfer and take such other action as shall be necessary or appropriate to vest in Purchaser the full legal and equitable title to the Assets and Assumed Liabilities or to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) Subject to Section 4.3, on and after the Closing Date, each party will promptly deliver to the other, at such other party’s expense, all mail and other communications properly addressable or deliverable to the other as a consequence of the P&A Transaction; and without limitation of the foregoing, on and after the Closing Date, Seller shall promptly forward any mail, communications or other material relating to the Deposits or the Assets transferred on the Closing Date, including that portion of any IRS “B” tapes that relates to such Deposits, to such employees of Purchaser at such addresses as may from time to time be specified by Purchaser in writing.

(d) Prior to the Closing Date, each of the parties hereto shall promptly advise the other party of any change or event that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to cause or constitute a breach in any material respect of any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained herein.

7.6 Non-Solicitation/Non-Competition. (a) For a period of three (3) years following the Closing Date, Seller agrees that it shall not (and BBX agrees that it shall not, and shall cause BBX’s Affiliates not to) (i) establish or maintain any banking, branch banking, loan production or agency office or operation in the Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater MSA that solicits or accepts deposits or deposit relationships, (ii) solicit deposits or deposit relationships from customers or potential customers residing or having a place of business in the Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater MSA, or (iii) solicit or target for solicitation, directly or indirectly, customers of the Branches or depositors associated with the Deposits; provided, however, that clauses (ii) and (iii) of this Section 7.6(a) shall not prohibit (1) general solicitations through mass media that are not specifically directed, in whole or in part, at the Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater MSA, (2) engaging in servicing (including collection and foreclosure activities), modification, or refinancing of existing loans serviced, originated or owned by Seller, (3) engaging in deposit (other than with respect to the Deposits), safe deposit (other than pursuant to the Safe Deposit Agreements), trust or other financial services relationships with Persons who are customers of Seller as of the date hereof, and their respective Affiliates, and with respect to whom there is as of the Closing Date a customer relationship with Seller that is located or conducted through branch offices of Seller not located within the Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater MSA, or (4) responding to unsolicited inquiries by such customers with respect to banking or other financial services. The restrictions set forth in this Section 7.6(a) shall not apply to the banking, branch banking, or agency offices or operations of any Person who (A) as of the date hereof, is not an Affiliate of BBX and (B) following the date hereof, acquires Seller or BBX substantially in its entirety (without consideration of the Assets and Assumed Liabilities) in a transaction in which (1) Persons who are directors of BBX immediately prior to the consummation of the transaction do not constitute upon the consummation of such transaction a majority of the board of directors of the Person which survives such transaction (or the publicly traded parent thereof) and (2) the holders of the common stock of BBX hold upon the consummation of such transaction less than 50% of the shares of equity securities normally entitled to vote in the election of directors of such Person (such Person, an “Acquiring Person”); provided, however that, in no event, shall an Acquiring Person be permitted to use the “BankAtlantic” name in connection with any activity otherwise restricted by this Section 7.6(a) for three (3) years following the Closing Date; and, provided, further, that nothing in this sentence shall be construed to permit any of BBX, Seller, any Acquiring Person or any of their respective Affiliates to employ any Records in order to conduct or facilitate any solicitation or targeting contemplated by the first sentence of this Section 7.6(a).

(b) For a period of two (2) years following the Closing Date, BBX and Seller will not, and shall cause their respective Affiliates not to, solicit for employment or employ any Transferred Employee; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 7.6(b) shall be deemed to prohibit Seller, BBX and/or their respective Affiliates from (i) making general solicitations not targeted at Transferred Employees (including job announcements in newspapers and industry publications or on the Internet), (ii) soliciting any Transferred Employee whose employment is terminated by Purchaser prior to BBX or Seller, and/or any of their Affiliates, soliciting such Transferred Employee or (iii) using employee search firms, so long as such employee search firms are not instructed to and do not engage in targeted solicitations of Transferred Employees.

(c) If any provision or part of this Section 7.6 is held by a court or other authority of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree that the court or authority making such determination will have the power to reduce the duration or scope of such provision or to delete specific words or phrases as necessary (but only to the minimum extent necessary) to cause such provision or part to be valid and enforceable. If such court or authority does not have the legal authority to take the actions described in the preceding sentence, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith a modified provision that would, in so far as possible, reflect the original intent of this Section 7.6 without violating applicable law.

7.7 Insurance. Seller will maintain in effect until the Closing Date all casualty and public liability policies relating to the Branches and the Facilities and maintained by Seller on the date hereof or will use commercially reasonable efforts to procure comparable replacement coverage and maintain such policies or replacement coverage in effect until the Closing Date. Purchaser shall provide all casualty and public liability insurance for the Branches and the Facilities after the Closing Date. In the event of any material damage, destruction or condemnation affecting Real Property between the date hereof and the time of the Closing, Purchaser shall have the right to exclude any Real Property so affected from the Assets to be acquired, require Seller to take reasonable steps to repair or replace the damaged or destroyed property, or require Seller to deliver to Purchaser any insurance proceeds and other payments, to the extent of the fair market value or the replacement cost of the Real Property, received by Seller as a result thereof unless, in the case of damage or destruction, Seller has repaired or replaced the damaged or destroyed property.

7.8 Change of Name, Etc. As promptly as possible after the Closing, Purchaser will (a) change the name and logo on all documents and facilities relating to the Assets and the Assumed Liabilities to Purchaser’s name and logo, (b) notify all Persons whose Deposits or Safe Deposit Agreements are transferred under this Agreement of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (c) provide all appropriate notices to the OCC and any other Regulatory Authorities required as a result of the consummation of such transactions. From and after the date of this Agreement, Seller shall cooperate with any commercially reasonable request of Purchaser directed to accomplish the removal of Seller’s signage by Purchaser and the installation of Purchaser’s signage by Purchaser; provided, however, that (i) all such removals and all such installations shall be at the expense of Purchaser, (ii) such removals and installations shall be performed in such a manner that does not

unreasonably interfere with the normal business activities and operations of the Branches and Facilities and Purchaser shall repair any damage to the area altered to its pre-existing condition, (iii) such installed signage shall comply with the applicable Branch Lease or Facility Lease and all applicable zoning and permitting laws and regulations, (iv) such installed signage shall have, if necessary, received the prior approval of the owner or landlord of the facility, and such installed signage shall be covered in such a way as to make Purchaser signage unreadable at all times prior to the Closing, but such cover shall display the name and/or logo of Seller (or of its Affiliates) in a manner reasonably acceptable to Seller and (v) if this Agreement is terminated prior to the Closing, Purchaser shall immediately and at its sole expense restore such signage and any other area altered in connection therewith to its pre-existing condition.

For purposes of this Agreement, in the case of any Straddle Period, (1) Property Taxes for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be equal to the amount of such Property Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the Straddle Period that are in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period, and (2) Taxes (other than Property Taxes) for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be computed as if such taxable period ended as of the close of business on the Closing Date.

8.2 Sales and Transfer Taxes. Purchaser and Seller shall share equally the responsibility for the payment of all transfer, recording, documentary, stamp, sales, use (including all bulk sales Taxes) and other similar Taxes and fees (collectively, the “Transfer Taxes”), that are payable or that arise as a result of the P&A Transaction, when due. The party which has the primary obligation to do so under applicable Law shall file any Tax Return that is required to be filed in respect of Transfer Taxes described in this Section 8.2 when due, and the other party shall cooperate with respect thereto as necessary.

8.7 Transferred Employees.

(a) Offers of Employment.

(i)

General. At least fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the Closing Date, and effective as of the Closing Date, Purchaser agrees that it shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates to, offer employment to each Branch Employee who is actively employed by Seller as of the Closing Date and, subject to Section 8.7(a)(ii) below, to each Leave Recipient, and, effective as of the applicable Transfer Date, Purchaser will employ each such employee who has accepted the offer, remains in good standing with Seller and satisfies all employment screening requirements of Purchaser. On and after the Closing Date, each Branch Employee employed by Purchaser, as of the Transfer Date, shall be defined as a “Transferred Employee” for purposes of this Agreement. Each Transferred Employee’s employment with Seller shall cease as of the applicable Transfer Date. Subject to the provisions of this Section 8.7, Transferred Employees shall be subject to the employment terms, conditions and rules applicable to other similarly situated employees of Purchaser. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as an employment contract between Purchaser and any Branch Employee or Transferred Employee.

(ii)

Special Provisions for Leave Recipients. With respect to any Branch Employee who is not actively at work on the Closing Date as a result of an approved leave of absence (including military leave with reemployment rights under federal law and leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993) (collectively, the “Leave Recipients”), Purchaser shall make an offer of employment in the manner required by Section 8.7(a)(i), contingent on such Leave Recipient’s return to active status (x) to any Branch Employee on military leave at the Closing Date who actively commences employment with Purchaser within the time period mandated by applicable law and (y) for any other Leave Recipients, within one-hundred and eighty (180) days following the Closing Date. When the Leave Recipient returns to active status pursuant to the terms hereof, such Leave Recipient shall be considered a Transferred Employee.

(b) Terms of Offer. Each Transferred Employee shall be provided employment subject to the following terms and conditions:

(i)

Each Transferred Employee’s base salary shall be at least equivalent to the rate of annual base salary or regular hourly wage rate, as applicable, paid by Seller to such Transferred Employee as of the Business Day prior to the Closing Date; and

(ii)

Each Transferred Employee shall be eligible to receive employee benefits substantially comparable to those available to similarly situated employees of Purchaser, as in effect from time to time, and Purchaser shall permit each Transferred Employee whose position is eliminated by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates following the Transfer Date to participate in Purchaser’s displacement benefits plan, with credit for past service and subject to such plan’s terms and conditions, including the Transferred Employee’s execution and non-revocation of a release of claims in a form satisfactory to Purchaser.

(c) Each Transferred Employee shall be eligible to participate in the medical and dental plans of Purchaser and in other welfare plans of Purchaser to the extent the terms of such other welfare plans permit admission of new hires, as such plans may exist, on and after the applicable Transfer Date, subject to the applicable terms and conditions of such plans in effect from time to time. For purposes of each New Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical and/or vision benefits to any Transferred Employee, Purchaser shall cause any pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such New Plan to be waived for such employee and his or her covered dependents (it being understood that general requirements of formal employment with Purchaser shall not be waived), and Purchaser shall cause any eligible expenses incurred by such employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the Benefit Plan ending on the date such employee’s participation in the corresponding New Plan begins to be taken into account under such New Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such New Plan; provided that Seller provides Purchaser as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than thirty (30) calendar days following a request therefor, with such data as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser in connection therewith (whether from Seller or the applicable plan administrator or insurer), and Seller delivers to Purchaser an update of such information as of the Closing Date (or any such later Transfer Date) no later than sixty (60) days following the Closing Date (or any such later Transfer Date). In addition, for purposes of (i) any New Plan providing short-term disability benefits to the Transferred Employee after the Transfer Date and (ii) accruals under any New Plan providing vacation benefits to a Transferred Employee after the Transfer Date, each Transferred Employee shall be credited with his or her years of service from his or her most recent date of hire with Seller or any predecessor of Seller before the Transfer Date, to the same extent as such Transferred Employee was entitled, before the Transfer Date, to credit for such service under the analogous benefits plan of Seller.

(d) On the Closing Date (or any such later Transfer Date), Seller shall take all necessary action to cause the Transferred Employees to be fully vested in their accounts and accrued benefits, as applicable under any tax-qualified savings plan in which the Transferred Employees are eligible to participate in.

(e) Seller shall remain solely responsible for any and all liabilities and obligations arising under the Benefit Plans, including the Employment Agreements, and Purchaser shall not

assume or otherwise acquire any of the Benefit Plans, including the Employment Agreements, or the liabilities thereunder. Seller shall pay, discharge, and be responsible for (i) all salary and wages arising out of employment of each Transferred Employee through the applicable Transfer Date and (ii) any employee benefits (including accrued vacation and sick days, as applicable) arising under Seller’s employee benefit plans and employee programs prior to the applicable Transfer Date, including (x) benefits and workers’ compensation with respect to claims incurred prior to the Transfer Date but reported after the Transfer Date and (y) severance, including any liability under the WARN Act, payable to or with respect to any Transferred Employee solely as a result of the cessation of such Transferred Employee’s employment with Seller and its Affiliates pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of any severance plan of Seller and its Affiliates applicable to such Transferred Employee as of immediately prior to the Transfer Date. For purposes hereof, a disability or workers’ compensation claim shall be considered incurred before the relevant Transferred Employee’s Transfer Date if the injury or condition giving rise to the claim occurs before such Transfer Date. For purposes of this Agreement, the liabilities described in the preceding sentences of this Section 8.7(e) shall for all purposes of this Agreement be considered Excluded Liabilities. From and after the applicable Transfer Date, Purchaser shall pay, discharge, and be responsible for all salary, wages, and benefits arising out of or relating to the employment of each Transferred Employee by Purchaser from and after the applicable Transfer Date, including all claims under Purchaser’s welfare benefits plans incurred after the applicable Transfer Date.

(f) Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to grant any Branch Employee or Transferred Employee a right to continued employment by, or to receive any payments or benefits from, Purchaser or Seller or their respective Affiliates or through any employee benefit plan. This Agreement shall not limit Purchaser’s or Purchaser’s Affiliate’s ability or right to amend or terminate any benefit or compensation plan or program of Purchaser or its Affiliates and nothing contained herein shall be construed as an amendment to or modification of any such plan. This Section 8.7 shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party to this Agreement, and nothing in this Section 8.7, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any other Person, including, any current or former director, officer or employee of Seller or any of its Affiliates, any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Section 8.7.

(c) Representations and Warranties. (i) The representations and warranties of Seller contained in Sections 5.1, 5.2(i), 5.12, 5.14(a)(ii), 5.16 and 5.17 shall be true and correct in all respects, and the representations and warranties of Seller contained in Sections 5.9 and 5.10 shall be true and correct in all material respects, in each case at and as of the date of this Agreement and at and as of the Closing Date as though such representations and warranties were made at and as of such time (except that representations and warranties as of a specified date need only be true on and as of such date) and (ii) the other representations and warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement shall be true in all respects, in each case at and as of the date of this Agreement and at and as of the Closing Date as though such representations and warranties were made at and as of such time (except that representations and warranties as of a specified date need only be true on and as of such date); provided, however, that for purposes of determining the satisfaction of the condition set forth in this Section 9.1(c)(ii), such representations and warranties shall be deemed to be so true and correct if the failure or failures of such representations and warranties to be true and correct (such representations and warranties to be read for this purpose without reference to any qualification set forth therein relating to “materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect”) do not constitute, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect with respect to Seller.

ARTICLE 10

TERMINATION

10.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing Date:

(a) by the mutual written agreement of Purchaser and Seller;

(b) by Purchaser if (i) at the time of such termination any of the representations and warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement shall not be true and correct to the extent that the condition set forth in Section 9.1(c) cannot be satisfied, or (ii) there shall have been any material breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of Seller or BBX hereunder to the extent that the condition set forth in Section 9.1(d) cannot be satisfied, and, in the case of (i) or (ii) and other than with respect to Sections 7.6 and 7.9, such breach or failure is not or cannot be remedied by Seller or BBX within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of notice in writing from Purchaser specifying the nature of such breach or failure and requesting that it be remedied; provided that Purchaser may not terminate this Agreement based upon the failure of the conditions set forth in Section 9.1(c) or Section 9.1(d) to be satisfied if such failure was solely caused by Purchaser’s breach of this Agreement or failure to act in good faith or Purchaser’s or any of its representative’s failure to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Closing to occur;

(c) by Seller, if (i) at the time of such termination any of the representations and warranties of Purchaser contained in this Agreement shall not be true and correct to the extent that the condition set forth in Section 9.2(c) cannot be satisfied, or (ii) there shall have been any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of Purchaser hereunder to the extent that the condition set forth in Section 9.2(d) cannot be satisfied, and, in the case of (i) or (ii), such breach or failure is not or cannot be remedied by Purchaser within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice in writing from Seller specifying the nature of such breach or failure and requesting that it be remedied; provided that Seller may not terminate this Agreement based upon the failure of the conditions set forth in Section 9.2(c) or Section 9.2(d) to be satisfied if such failure was solely caused by Seller’s or any of its representative’s failure to act in good faith or Seller’s breach of this Agreement or failure to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Closing to occur;

(d) by Seller or Purchaser, in the event the Closing has not occurred by the date that is nine (9) months after the date of this Agreement, unless the failure to so consummate is due to a breach of this Agreement by the party seeking to terminate;

(e) by either Seller or Purchaser, if any governmental agencies or authorities that must grant a Regulatory Approval has denied approval of the P&A Transaction or any governmental agency or authority of competent jurisdiction shall have issued a final and nonappealable order permanently enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the P&A Transaction; or

(f) by Purchaser if, the Regulatory Approvals shall contain or require, as a condition to the granting thereof, (i) any modification to any term of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any divestiture of any of the Deposits, the Assets or any other assets of Purchaser, or (iii) any non-customary requirement of, or restriction on the operation of the Assets and Assumed Liabilities by, Purchaser following the Closing Date, where the conditions referred to in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii), individually or in the aggregate, would have a material and adverse effect with respect to the business, financial condition or results of operations of Purchaser measured on a scale relative to the business represented by the Branches, Facilities, Assets and Assumed Liabilities, taken as a whole.

10.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement and abandonment of the transactions contemplated hereby pursuant to Section 10.1, no party hereto (or any of its directors, officers, employees, agents or Affiliates) shall have any liability or further obligation to any other party, except that neither Seller nor Purchaser shall be relieved or released from any liabilities or damages arising out of any willful breach of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 11

INDEMNIFICATION

11.1 Indemnification. (a) Subject to Section 12.1, Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by Purchaser, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents, from and against any and all Losses asserted against or incurred by Purchaser arising out of or attributable to the following:

(i)

any breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller in this Agreement (any such breach to be determined for purposes of this Article 11 without regard to any qualification for “materiality,” “in all material respects,” “Material Adverse Effect” or similar materiality qualifications);

(ii)

any breach of any covenant or agreement to be performed by Seller pursuant to this Agreement;

(iii)

any Excluded Taxes; or

(iv)

any Excluded Liability.

(b) Subject to Section 12.1, Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by Seller, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents from and against any and all Losses asserted against or incurred by Seller arising out of or attributable to the following:

(i)

any breach of any representation or warranty made by Purchaser in this Agreement (any such breach to be determined for purposes of this Article 11 without regard to any qualification for “materiality,” “in all material respects,” “Material Adverse Effect” or similar materiality qualifications);

(ii)

any breach of any covenant or agreement to be performed by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement; or

(iii)

the Assumed Liabilities or any legal action, administrative or judicial proceeding, claim, penalty, liability, responsibility, obligation or duty arising out of Purchaser’s ownership and operation after the Closing of the business represented by the Branches, the Facilities, the Assets or the Assumed Liabilities.

(c) In the event any indemnified party becomes aware of any act, circumstance, development, event, fact, occurrence, statement or omission with respect to which a claim for Losses may be asserted under this Article 11 that is not a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim“), the indemnified party shall promptly deliver notice of such Direct Claim to the indemnifying party in writing, specifying (to the extent known) the factual basis for such Direct Claim and the amount, or an estimate, if known or reasonably determinable, of the Losses which the indemnified party claims as a result of such Direct Claim; provided, however, that, subject to the Survival Periods set forth in Section 12.1(a), any delay or failure by the indemnified party to give such notice shall relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder only to the extent, if at all, that the indemnifying party is adversely prejudiced by reason of such delay or failure. If the indemnifying party does not notify the indemnified party within twenty (20) calendar days following its receipt of such notice that the indemnifying party disputes its liability to the indemnified party under this Section 11.1(c), such Direct Claim specified by the indemnified party in such notice shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the indemnifying party under this

Section 11.1(c) or, in the case of any notice in which the amount of the Direct Claim (or any portion thereof) is estimated, on such later date when the amount of such Direct Claim (or such portion thereof) becomes finally determined. Within ten (10) calendar days of the final determination of the amount of the Direct Claim pursuant to the terms of this Section 11.1(c), the indemnifying party shall pay to the indemnified party an amount equal to the Direct Claim by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account or accounts designated in writing by the indemnified party not less than one (1) Business Day prior to such payment.

(d) To exercise its indemnification rights under this Section 11.1 as a result of the assertion against it by any third party of any claim or potential liability for which indemnification is provided under this Article 11 (a “Third Party Claim”), the indemnified party shall promptly notify the indemnifying party of the assertion of such Third Party Claim, discovery of any such potential liability or the commencement of any action or proceeding in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder; provided, however, that, subject to the Survival Periods set forth in Section 12.1(a), any delay or failure by the indemnified party to give notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party of any liability it may have to such indemnifying party to the extent that such failure does not actually and materially prejudice the indemnifying party. The indemnified party shall advise the indemnifying party of all facts relating to such assertion within the knowledge of the indemnified party, and shall afford the indemnifying party the opportunity, at the indemnifying party’s sole cost and expense, to defend against such Third Party Claims (which election must be made by the indemnifying party within fifteen (15) calendar days after having been notified by the indemnified party of the existence of such Third Party Claims and shall be subject to the indemnifying party’s admission in writing of its obligation to indemnify the indemnified party for any Losses in respect of the Third Party Claim). Counsel selected by the indemnifying party to defend any such Third Party Claim shall be a nationally or regionally recognized law firm with the experience and resources to defend the indemnified party against any such Third Party Claim in any such proceeding (and shall be consented to by the indemnified party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld). In any such action or proceeding, the indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at its own expense unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party mutually agree to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the indemnifying party fails to elect to assume the defense of a suit, action or proceeding within the fifteen (15) calendar-day time period, (iii) in the event that the indemnifying party elects to assume the defense of a suit, action or proceeding, in the course of such defense, the indemnifying party fails to continue to take reasonable steps to diligently defend any such Third Party Claim, or (iv) the named parties to any such suit, action or proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, and in the reasonable judgment of the indemnified party, representation of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party by the same counsel would be inadvisable due to actual or potential differing defenses or conflicts of interests between them that make joint representation inappropriate, then in all such cases of clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), the indemnifying party shall pay, promptly as statements therefor are received, the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for the indemnified parties. Within ten (10) calendar days of determination of the amount of a Third Party Claim becoming non-appealable (whether as a result of procedural exhaustion or lapse of time), the indemnifying party shall pay to the indemnified party an amount equal to the Third Party Claim by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account or accounts designated in writing by the indemnified party not less than one (1) Business Day prior to such payment.

(e) Neither party to this Agreement shall settle, compromise, discharge or consent to an entry of judgment with respect to a claim or liability subject to indemnification under this Article 11 without the other party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided that the indemnifying party may agree without the prior written consent of the indemnified party to any settlement, compromise, discharge or consent to an entry of judgment in each case that by its terms (i) obligates the indemnifying party to pay the full amount of the liability in connection with such claim and that unconditionally releases the indemnified party and its Affiliates from all liability or obligation in connection with such claim and (ii) does not impose injunctive or other non-monetary equitable relief against the indemnified party or its Affiliates, or their respective businesses.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement:

(i) An indemnifying party shall not be liable under Section 11.1(a)(i) or Section 11.1(b)(i) for any Losses sustained by the indemnified party unless and until the aggregate amount of all indemnifiable Losses sustained by the indemnified party in respect of Section 11.1(a)(i) or Section 11.1(b)(i), as applicable, shall exceed $250,000, in which event the indemnifying party shall provide indemnification hereunder in respect of all such indemnifiable Losses in excess of $250,000; provided, however, that any individual item where the loss relating thereto is less than $25,000 shall not be aggregated for purposes hereof; provided, further, that the maximum aggregate amount of indemnification payments payable by Seller pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(i) (for avoidance of doubt, taking into account any indemnification payments payable by Seller in respect of Section 5.11) or by Purchaser pursuant to Section 11.1(b)(i), as applicable, shall be the Purchase Price Premium; provided, further, that the maximum aggregate amount of indemnification payments payable by Seller pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(i) in respect of Section 5.11 shall be an amount equal to 50% of the Purchase Price Premium.

(ii) In no event shall either party hereto be entitled to consequential or punitive damages or damages for lost profits in any action relating to the subject matter of this Agreement; provided that the foregoing shall not limit the right of an indemnified party to indemnification in accordance with this Article 11 with respect to any component of any claim, settlement, award or judgment against such party by any unaffiliated third party.

(iii) Each party shall cooperate, and cause their respective Affiliates to cooperate, fully in all aspects of any investigation, defense, pre-trial activities, trial, compromise, settlement or discharge of any claim in respect of which indemnity is sought pursuant to this Article 11, including by providing the other party with reasonable access to employees and officers (including as witnesses) and other information.

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a third-party claim includes or would reasonably be expected to include both a claim for Taxes that are Assumed Liabilities pursuant to Section 2.2(a)(vi) (“Purchaser Taxes”) and a claim for Taxes that are not Assumed Liabilities pursuant to Section 2.2(a)(vi) (“Seller Taxes”), and such claim for Seller Taxes is not separable from such a claim for Purchaser Taxes, Purchaser (if the claim for Purchaser Taxes exceeds or reasonably would be expected to exceed in amount the claim for Seller Taxes) or otherwise Seller (Seller or

Purchaser, as the case may be, the “Controlling Party”) shall be entitled to control the defense of such third-party claim (such third-party claim, a “Tax Claim”). In such case, the other party (Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, the “Non-Controlling Party”) shall be entitled to participate fully (at the Non-Controlling Party’s sole expense) in the conduct of such Tax Claim and the Controlling Party shall not settle such Tax Claim without the consent of such Non-Controlling Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The costs and expenses of conducting the defense of such Tax Claim shall be reasonably apportioned based on the relative amounts of the Tax Claim that are Seller Taxes and that are Purchaser Taxes.

(h) An indemnified party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any claim or liability that such indemnified party asserts under this Article 11; provided that the indemnified party shall not be required to incur any out-of-pocket fees or expenses in connection with such mitigation. In the event that an indemnified party shall fail to use such commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any claim or liability, then notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the indemnifying party shall not be required to indemnify any indemnified party for any portion of a Loss that could reasonably be expected to have been avoided if the indemnified party had made such efforts.

11.2 Exclusivity. After the Closing, except as expressly set forth in Sections 4.8 and 8.2, and except in the case of fraud or willful breach, this Article 11 will provide the exclusive remedy for any breach of representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement or otherwise arising out of this Agreement or the P&A Transaction; provided that the foregoing shall not prevent a party from obtaining specific performance, injunctive relief or any other available non-monetary equitable remedy.

11.3 As-Is Sale; Waiver of Warranties. Except for representations and warranties expressly set forth in this Agreement, Purchaser acknowledges that the Assets and Liabilities are being sold and accepted on an “AS-IS-WHERE-IS” basis, and are being accepted without any representation or warranty. As part of Purchaser’s agreement to purchase and accept the Assets and Liabilities AS-IS-WHERE-IS, and not as a limitation on such agreement, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SELLER HEREBY DISCLAIMS AND PURCHASER HEREBY UNCONDITIONALLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND RELEASES ANY AND ALL ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL RIGHTS PURCHASER MIGHT HAVE AGAINST SELLER OR ANY PERSON DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY CONTROLLING SELLER REGARDING ANY FORM OF WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OF ANY KIND OR TYPE, RELATING TO THE ASSETS AND LIABILITIES EXCEPT THOSE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OTHERWISE SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT. SUCH WAIVER AND RELEASE IS, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ABSOLUTE, COMPLETE, TOTAL AND UNLIMITED IN EVERY WAY. SUCH WAIVER AND RELEASE INCLUDES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO, A WAIVER AND RELEASE OF EXPRESS WARRANTIES (EXCEPT THOSE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OTHERWISE SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT), IMPLIED WARRANTIES, WARRANTIES OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR USE, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, WARRANTIES OF HABITABILITY, STRICT LIABILITY RIGHTS AND, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, CLAIMS OF

EVERY KIND AND TYPE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO CLAIMS REGARDING DEFECTS WHICH WERE NOT OR ARE NOT DISCOVERABLE, ALL OTHER EXTANT OR LATER CREATED OR CONCEIVED OF STRICT LIABILITY OR STRICT LIABILITY TYPE CLAIMS AND RIGHTS.

ARTICLE 12

MISCELLANEOUS

12.1 Survival. (a) The parties’ respective representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall survive until the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, however, that (i) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5.11 shall survive until the second (2nd) anniversary of the Closing Date and (ii) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5.9 shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, and thereafter neither party may claim any Loss in relation to a breach thereof (each such specified period, a “Survival Period”); provided, further, that the claims set forth in any claim for indemnity made by an indemnified party on or prior to the applicable Survival Period shall survive until such claim is finally resolved. The agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement shall not survive the Closing except to the extent expressly contemplating performance thereafter.

(b) No claim based on any breach of any representation or warranty shall be valid or made unless notice with respect thereto is given to the indemnifying party in accordance with this Agreement.

12.2 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations of either party may be assigned by Seller and BBX, on the one hand, or Purchaser, on the other hand, without the prior written consent of the other parties, and any purported assignment in contravention of this Section 12.2 shall be void.

12.3 Binding Effect. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Prior to the Closing, BBX shall not permit Seller, without the consent of Purchaser, to consolidate with or merge with or into any Person unless (a) Seller is the continuing Person or (b) the resulting or surviving entity expressly assumes by supplement to this Agreement all of the obligations of Seller under this Agreement and has equal or greater financially capability to that of Seller to perform its obligations hereunder.

12.4 Public Notice. Prior to the Closing Date, neither Purchaser nor Seller shall make or cause to be made any press release for general circulation, public announcement or disclosure or issue any notice or general communication to employees with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of the other party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Purchaser and Seller each agree that, without the other party’s prior written consent, it shall not release or disclose any of the terms or conditions of the transactions contemplated herein to any other Person (other than any bank Regulatory Authority). Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party may make such public disclosure as, based on the advice of its counsel, may be required by law, stock exchange rules or as necessary to obtain the Regulatory Approvals.

12.9 Entire Agreement; Amendment. (a) This Agreement contains the entire understanding of and all agreements between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior or contemporaneous agreement or understanding, oral or written, pertaining to any such matters, which agreements or understandings shall be of no force or effect for any purpose; provided, however, that the terms of that certain confidentiality agreement between BBX and Purchaser dated as of September 16, 2010, as amended and supplemented on January 27, 2011 by letter agreement between Purchaser and Seller, shall, to the extent not inconsistent with any provisions of this Agreement, apply until the Closing and from and after the Closing shall cease to apply with respect to the Assets, the Assumed Liabilities and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (but shall continue to apply in accordance with its terms with respect to matters set forth therein that are not related to the Assets, the Assumed Liabilities or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement).

(b) This Agreement may not be amended or supplemented in any manner except by mutual agreement of the parties and as set forth in a writing signed by the parties hereto or their respective successors in interest. The waiver of any beach of any provision under this Agreement by any party shall not be deemed to be waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach under this Agreement. No such waiver shall be effective unless in writing.

12.10 Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as expressly provided in Section 11.1, this Agreement shall not benefit or create any right or cause of action in or on behalf of any Person other than Seller, BBX and Purchaser.

12.12 Headings. The headings used in this Agreement are inserted for purposes of convenience of reference only and shall not limit or define the meaning of any provisions of this Agreement.

12.13 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, as applied to any party or circumstance, shall be judged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void, invalid or

unenforceable, the same shall in no way effect any other provision of this Agreement, the application of any such provision and any other circumstances or the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement.

12.14 Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to Articles, Sections or Exhibits, such reference shall be to an Article, Section of or Exhibit to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The Recitals hereto constitute an integral part of this Agreement. References to Sections include subsections, which are part of the related Section (e.g., a section numbered “Section 5.13(a)” would be part of “Section 5.13” and references to “Section 5.13” would also refer to material contained in the subsection described as “Section 5.13(a)”). The table of contents, index and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The phrases “the date of this Agreement,” “the date hereof” and terms of similar import, unless the context otherwise requires, shall be deemed to refer to the date set forth in the Preamble to this Agreement.

12.15 Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof (and, more specifically, that irreparable damage would likewise occur if the P&A Transaction was not consummated), and, accordingly, that the parties shall be entitled, without the necessity of posting a bond or other security, to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof (including the parties’ obligation to consummate the P&A Transaction, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement).
