          B.        If the final closing statement requires an Adjusted Payment,
Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, shall make the Adjusted Payment to the
other party to correct any discrepancy between the amount of the Transfer paid
under Section 1.4 and the amount of the Adjusted Payment determined under this
Section 1.5.  Seller shall provide Purchaser with the worksheets it used to
calculate the Adjustment Payment. Any Adjustment Payment due to either party on
the Adjustment Payment Date pursuant to this provision shall be paid to such
party on the Adjustment Payment Date by the other party by wire transfer on the
first business day immediately following the execution of the final closing
statement by Purchaser and Seller and shall bear interest from and including the

shall operate for its own account the business being transferred pursuant to
this Agreement until the close of business on the day immediately before the
Closing Date, and that Purchaser shall operate for its own account the business
being transferred pursuant to this Agreement from and after the Closing
Date.  Thus, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, items
of income and expense allocable to the Assets and Assumed Liabilities shall be
prorated as of the close of business on the day immediately before the Closing

would normally be made as of such time.  For purposes of this Agreement, items

under the Contracts) and prepaid expenses (but only including prepaids that will
inure directly to the benefit of Purchaser and excluding all others, such as by
way of example, prepaid advertising) for the Branch.  Seller shall deliver to
Purchaser a preliminary proration schedule as of the end of the month preceding
the Closing Date to enable the parties to agree on the types of prorations to
apply at Closing.

1.7       Closing Date: Closing; Real Estate Transfer.  The consummation of the
purchase and assumption transactions provided for in this Agreement (the
“Closing”), shall occur (i) no later than 15 calendar days after receipt by the
parties of all required regulatory approvals and all other approvals required by
law or contract for consummation of the transactions provided for herein and
lapse of all required waiting periods associated therewith (such date referred
to hereinafter as the “Closing Date”), with a target date of October 31, 2009 or
(ii) such other date as is mutually agreed upon in writing by the parties
hereto. In any event, the Closing Date may be extended to December 31, 2009, if
regulatory approvals and waiting periods necessitate.  Delivery of the documents
and instruments to be delivered by Seller and Purchaser, payment of the Transfer
Payment by Seller or Purchaser, closing of the sale of the Real Property, and
other transactions herein contemplated to take place concurrently with such
deliveries, assumptions and payments, shall take place on the Closing Date at
8:00 a.m. (local time) at the offices of Seller in the State of Georgia (or at
such other time and place as are agreed to by both parties), and all such
transactions shall be deemed effective as of the close of business on the day

made by either party to the other by wire transfer of immediately available
funds on the Closing Date shall be made by wire transfer initiated prior to
10:00 a.m. (local time) on the Closing Date (or on the business day immediately
before the Closing Date, if the Closing Date occurs on a day when funds cannot
be wired for same day reinvestment).  Any deliveries, conveyances, assignments
or transfers required under this Agreement, other than the foregoing, shall be
made at the time and date specified in this Agreement (and where no time is
specified, on or before the start of business on the date specified) and in the
manner and place specified in this Agreement (where not specified, in the manner

A.        Seller shall provide Purchaser with copies of all of its IRA Account

depositors who maintain IRA Accounts at the Branch of Seller’s intent to resign
as custodian or trustee as of Closing and to appoint Purchaser as successor
custodian or trustee and the discharge and release of Seller from all
liabilities as custodian or trustee from and after the effective time of its
resignation. Purchaser will accept such appointment as successor custodian or
trustee, unless the customer objects in writing to such appointment or to
Purchaser's master IRA agreement. It is agreed that Seller is required to notify
each such depositor only once, which notification will be by means of a letter
approved by Purchaser and accompanied by all appropriate forms and documents
necessary to effect such replacement and release and to adopt Purchaser's master
agreement. The IRA Account of any customer not accepting the appointment of
Purchaser and the Purchaser's master plan will not be included in the Deposit

Date.  Purchaser’s employment offers shall provide the Employees with the same
or similar benefits as the Purchaser offers to the Purchaser's other employees
that are similarly situated in terms of their position and longevity including
service at Seller as provided in Section 7.4.  Seller shall be responsible for

the Closing Date.  Purchaser shall have no liability or obligation to the
Employees relating to their employment by Seller.  Seller shall indemnify
Purchaser for any damages, losses and expenses (including reasonable attorney
fees) incurred by the Purchaser resulting from employment claims by the
Employees against Purchaser relating to Seller's actions with respect to such
employees prior to termination of employment, as required by this Section
4.3.  The Purchaser shall indemnify Seller for any damages, losses and expenses

Schedule 1.1C.

4.6       Sales and Transfer Taxes.  Except for such taxes and assessments
relating to the transfer of the Real Property, Purchaser and Seller agree that
no sales or transfer tax is due on this transaction because it is not in the
ordinary course of business of either Purchaser or Seller; however, in the event
that a sales or transfer tax is imposed by a governmental authority having
jurisdiction to impose such a tax, Seller shall be responsible for the full and
timely payment of same and shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser for the
amount of any such taxes due, and from any expenses, fines, penalties, fees,
costs, or other damages resulting from the imposition of such tax or for any
failure to make timely payment thereof.  Seller shall indemnify Purchaser and
hold Purchaser harmless for the amount of any taxes attributable to its
operations prior to the Closing Date, and from any expenses, fines, penalties,
fees, costs or other damages resulting from the imposition of such tax or for
any failure to make timely payment thereof provided that Purchaser promptly
notifies Seller of same.

4.7       Bulk Sales Act Indemnity.  Seller shall promptly pay when due all its
creditors in order to avoid any claim by any such creditor against Purchaser or
any of the Assets by virtue of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement

indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from any liability, loss or damage arising
from failure of any applicable bulk transfer law to be satisfied or from
Seller's failure to perform this covenant.

the ordinary course of business; (ii) transfer to the Branch any of the deposits
domiciled at its other banking facilities except upon the unsolicited request of

of business consistent with past practices; (v) offer interest rates on any
deposit liabilities at the Branch in excess of those interest rates paid on
similar deposits at Seller's other banking facilities; or (f) alter its current
advertising or marketing programs at the Branch in any material respect, other
than as part of a general advertising or marketing campaign implemented by
Seller company-wide.

13

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4.9       Affirmative Operating Covenants.  Seller shall use its best efforts to
(i) cause the Deposits to be equal to or greater than the Deposit Balance, (ii)
preserve the goodwill of customers and others doing business with the Branch and
(iii) cause the Employees to continue their employment with Purchaser on and
after the Closing Date.

4.10      Damage or Destruction of Personal or Real Property.  If prior to
Closing there is any damage to or destruction or theft of the Personal Property,
or either Purchaser or Seller receives or obtains written notice of any
proceeding that affects the Personal Property, then Purchaser shall be entitled
to receive and will be assigned (i) all insurance proceeds payable with respect
to the damage, destruction or theft of the Personal Property with Seller paying
over to Purchaser any deductible under the applicable insurance policies; (ii)
any award or payment received in connection with any proceeding and (iii) any
additional amount necessary to repair, restore or replace the Personal Property
in excess of the payments in (i) and (ii).  In the event insurance proceeds are
not received by Seller within 120 days after the Closing Date, then Seller shall
pay to Purchaser at such time the full amount spent by Purchaser to repair,
restore or replace such Personal Property, and in such case, Seller shall retain
the insurance proceeds.

4.11      Assistance in Obtaining Regulatory Approvals.  Purchaser and Seller
shall exercise their best efforts to obtain any required regulatory
approvals.  Seller agrees to use all reasonable efforts to assist Purchaser in
obtaining all regulatory approvals necessary to complete the transactions
contemplated hereby, and Seller will provide to Purchaser and to the appropriate
regulatory authorities all information reasonably required of Seller to be
submitted by Purchaser in connection with such approvals.

4.12      Other Relationships.  Except for the deposit relationships being
transferred by Seller to Purchaser, as of the Closing Date neither Seller nor
any of its affiliates will have any other business relationship with any holders
of Deposits or borrowers of Purchased Loans, except for outstanding deposit or
loan relationships at other banking offices of the Seller.

4.13      Status of Purchased Loans.  Seller covenants that all of the Purchased
Loans will be fully performing as of three business days before the Closing
Date.

4.14      No Breach.  Seller and Purchaser shall each not take or fail to take
any action, that taking or failure would cause or constitute a breach or would,
if it had been taken or failed to be taken prior to the date hereof, have caused
or constituted a breach, of any of the applicable representations and warranties
set forth in the Agreement or the covenants of each of Seller and Purchaser set
forth in this Agreement.  Seller and Purchaser will each, in the event of, or
promptly after becoming aware of the occurrence of, or the impending or
threatened occurrence of, any event that would cause or constitute a breach or
would, if it had occurred prior to the date hereof, have caused or constituted a
breach of any of the applicable representations and warranties set forth in the
Agreement or the covenants of Seller or Purchaser set forth in this Agreement,
or which may result in the non-satisfaction of any condition set forth in
Section 8.1 or 8.2 hereof, promptly give detailed notice thereof to the other
party.  Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, will use its commercially
reasonable efforts to prevent or promptly to remedy such breach or failure, to
perform such covenant or to satisfy such condition.

POST-CLOSING MATTERS

and Seller will use reasonable efforts to cause all information concerning the
Purchased Loans and the Deposits to be transferred into a form usable by
Purchaser.

7.2       Covenants Not to Compete.  From the Closing Date and for a period of
three years thereafter (the “Restrictive Period”), the Seller (and its
affiliates, successors and assigns) shall not open any branch office,
deposit-taking facility (including ATM), loan office or solicit any business in
Columbia County, Florida (the “Restricted Area”).  Seller agrees that said time
and geographic restrictions are reasonable and necessary to protect Purchaser's
legitimate business concerns, that said covenants do not violate public policy,
and do not place any unreasonable restraints upon Seller’s other ongoing
business operations.  During the Restrictive Period, Seller (and its affiliates,
successors, and assigns) shall not directly or indirectly (i) solicit any
business from any of the holders of Deposits or any of the borrowers or
guarantors of the Purchased Loans, (ii) undertake any targeted marketing or
advertising in the Restricted Area or (iii) encourage any Employee or employee
of Purchaser to cease employment with Purchaser or change such person's
employment.

7.3       Sales and Transfer Taxes, Etc.  All charges relating to the
recordation of the assignment of the Purchased Loans by Purchaser shall be borne
and paid by Purchaser.  If any sales, transfer or similar tax is imposed by a
governmental authority relating to the transfer of any of the Assets or any of
the Assumed Liabilities, Seller shall be responsible for the full and timely
payment of same and shall hold Purchaser harmless from the amount of any such
taxes due, and from any expenses, fines, penalties, fees, costs, or other
damages resulting from the imposition of such tax or for any failure to make
timely payment thereof.

7.4       Employees.  Each Employee shall receive credit for his or her past
service with Seller for purposes of eligibility, vesting and accrual of benefits
under all of the employee benefit plans of Purchaser that are uniformly provided
on a nondiscriminatory basis to similar employees of Purchaser, except (i) there
shall be no accrual of benefit under any defined benefit plan of Purchaser and
(ii) there shall be no credit during calendar year 2009 for vacation time or
sick days prior to the date of employment by Purchaser.  Seller shall cause
Employees to be covered under Seller’s health and welfare plans until the first
day of the month following the day of Closing on the same basis as they were
covered prior to the Closing Date.  Purchaser shall withhold from each Employee
his or her portion of the cost for such plans during this period and, on the
first day of the month following the Closing, shall remit to Seller the entire
amount of such employee’s withheld portion of such costs, along with the entire
amount applicable to the employer’s portion of such costs for all
Employees.  Other than as set forth in the preceding sentence, Employees will
not be subject to any waiting period under the health and welfare plans of
Purchaser and Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its
health insurance carrier to cover any pre-existing condition of an Employee that
was covered under Seller’s health insurance plan.

17

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7.5       Transactions After Closing Date.  Seller and Purchaser hereby agree
that, except as provided below or otherwise agreed in writing by the parties,
for a period of 90 days after the Closing Date:

A.        Subject to Section 7.5I, Seller agrees that it will transfer, convey,
and assign to Purchaser on the date of its receipt all deposits received by
Seller after the Closing Date for credit to any of the accounts for the
Deposits, and all payments received by Seller after the Closing Date for
application to or on account of any of the Assets.

B.        Seller agrees to notify Purchaser on the date of its receipt of the
return to it of any items deposited in, or cashed at, the Branch prior to the
Closing Date and shall expeditiously forward any such items to Purchaser. If
Purchaser cannot recover on such returned items after making a good faith effort
to do so, Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for such return items upon assignment
of such items by Purchaser to Seller. Purchaser’s good faith effort shall not
include institution of any legal action with respect to such recovery.

C.        To the extent permitted by law and the applicable contracts for the
Deposits, Purchaser agrees that it will honor all properly payable checks,
drafts, withdrawal orders and similar items drawn on Seller’s forms against the
Deposits, which are presented to Purchaser by mail, over its counters, or
through clearing houses.

D.        Provided that such items have been timely delivered to Purchaser by
Seller, Purchaser shall pay the items referred to in Section 7.5C to the extent
of the balance of funds in the accounts. Seller shall deliver such checks and
drafts to Purchaser at Purchaser’s address set forth in Section 9.9, no later
than 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time one business day following the day they were
received by Seller. Purchaser shall promptly reimburse Seller on a daily basis
for the amount of all such checks and drafts paid by Seller. The parties shall
share equally the cost of delivery of any items under this Section 7.5D.

E.        As of the Closing Date, Purchaser will notify all Automated Clearing
House (“ACH”) originators of the transfers and assumptions made pursuant to the
Agreement; provided, however, that Seller may, at its option, notify all such
originators itself (on behalf of Purchaser). For a period of 90 days beginning
on the Closing Date, Seller will honor all ACH items related to accounts for
Deposits assumed under this Agreement, which are routed or presented to Seller.
Seller will make no charge to Purchaser for honoring such items, and will
electronically transmit such ACH data to Purchaser on a daily basis. If
Purchaser cannot receive an electronic transmission, Seller will make available
daily to Purchaser at Seller’s operations center receiving items from the ACH
tapes containing such ACH data. Seller and Purchaser shall make arrangements to
provide for the daily settlement with immediately available funds by Purchaser
of any ACH items honored by Seller, and Seller shall be held harmless and
indemnified by Purchaser for acting in accordance with this arrangement to
accept ACH items other than ACH items initiated by Seller. Seller agrees to
settle any and all ATM transactions effected on or before the Closing Date, but
processed after the Closing Date, as soon as practicable. Purchaser and Seller
agree to remit the total net balance of such transactions to Seller or
Purchaser, as the case may be, on the same date the transactions are settled. In
instances in which an owner 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 Date, 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.

18

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

F.        Seller shall provide Purchaser with a listing of each stop payment
order in effect as to a Deposit or Purchased Loan on the Closing Date. Purchaser
shall honor all stop payment orders relating to the Deposits or the Purchased
Loans initiated prior to the Closing and reflected in the magnetic tape made
available by Seller to Purchaser on the Closing Date. In the event that
Purchaser shall make any payment in violation of a stop payment order initiated
prior to the Closing but not reflected in stop payment documents and the
magnetic tape made available by Seller to Purchaser prior to such payment, then
Seller shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Purchaser from and against all
claims, losses and liabilities, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
expenses, arising out of any such payment. In the event that Purchaser shall
make any payment in violation of a stop payment order initiated prior to the
Closing that is reflected in stop payment documents and the magnetic tape made
available by Seller to Purchaser prior to such payment, then Purchaser shall
indemnify, hold harmless and defend Seller from and against all claims, losses
and liabilities, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, arising out
of any such payment.

G.        After the Closing Date, Purchaser hereby agrees to process any and all
“charge-back items” received subsequent to the Closing Date but arising prior
thereto against any amount for Deposits, as covered under applicable charge-back
regulations. “Charge-back items” shall include, but not be limited to, disputed
items, purchases over limit, fraudulent use of a debit card, late presentations
of sales slips, unpresented credit on sales returns and other adjustments as
specified under the rules and regulations of MasterCard or Visa. If Purchaser
cannot recover on any such charge-back items after making a good faith effort to
do so, Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for such items upon assignment of such
items by Purchaser to Seller. Purchaser’s good faith effort to recover on any
such items shall not require that Purchaser take any legal action against any
person.

H.        Seller agrees that, following the date of this Agreement, Seller will
not, without the consent of Purchaser, alter or change any business practice at
the Branch related to overdrawn deposit accounts, except in connection with a
change applicable to Seller generally and which is no more permissive than the
current policy.

I.        Purchaser and Seller agree that all amounts required to be remitted by
either such party to the other party hereto pursuant to this Section 7.5 shall
be settled on a daily basis. Any amounts to be paid by Seller to Purchaser shall
be netted daily against any amounts to be paid by Purchaser to Seller, such that
only one amount, representing the net amount due, shall be transferred on a
daily basis by the party with the higher amount of remittances for such day in
immediately available funds. Purchaser shall provide Seller with a daily net
settlement figure for all such transactions from the immediately preceding
business day by 12:00 noon Eastern Time on each business day and the party
obligated to remit any funds thereunder shall do so in immediately available
funds by wire transfer by 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time on such day or by any other
method of payment agreed upon by the parties; any such settlement shall be
provisional pending receipt or review by the parties of the physical items
relating to such settlement.

19

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

J.        If any uncollected item credited to a Deposit at the time of the
transfer of such Deposit to Purchaser is subsequently returned resulting in an
overdraft to the Deposit account, Seller agrees, not later than two business
days after demand, to pay to Purchaser the amount of such uncollected item;
provided, however, that Purchaser shall, upon Seller's making payment for such
uncollected item, deliver such uncollected item to Seller and shall assign to
Seller any and all rights which Purchaser may have or obtain in connection with
such returned item.

K.        If the balance due on any Purchased Loan transferred and assigned to
Purchaser pursuant to the terms of the Agreement has been reduced as a result of
the receipt of an item or items prior to the Closing Date, which are returned
after the Closing Date as uncollected, the asset value represented by the
Purchased Loan transferred shall be correspondingly increased, and an amount in
cash equal to such increase shall be paid by Purchaser to Seller within two
business days after receipt of such returned item.

L.        If Seller receives payments, notices or correspondence with respect to
any Purchased Loan after the Closing Date, Seller shall remit such payments,
notices or correspondence to Purchaser in the same form received by Seller.

M.        For a period of 30 days after the Closing Date, Seller agrees that,
upon demand of Purchaser, Seller shall immediately pay to Purchaser the
overdraft amount (negative balance) of any of the Deposits.

N.        For a period of 60 days after the Closing Date, Seller agrees that,
for any reason whatsoever, Purchaser may return to Seller for repurchase within
three business days of Purchaser’s submission any of the Purchased Loans at a
price equal to the amount of the unpaid principal and Accrued Loan Interest at
Closing, as adjusted for interim payments on the returned loans since the
Closing Date.

O.        Purchaser shall file Form 1099s for the Deposits covering the year in
which the Closing occurs only from the Closing Date to the end of that
year.  Seller shall file Form 1099s for the Deposits from the first of the year
in which the Closing occurs through the close of business the day before the
Closing Date.

20

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7.6       Maintenance of Records.  For a period of five years after the Closing,
(i) Purchaser will preserve and safe keep the Records transferred to Purchaser
that relate to the Assets and Assumed Liabilities as required by reasonable
business practices for the joint benefit of Seller and Purchaser and (ii) Seller
shall preserve and safe keep all tax records which are not transferred to
Purchaser as required by reasonable business practices for the joint benefit of
Seller and Purchaser.  Each of Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate from and
after the Closing Date to provide to the other upon request such information and
records in the possession of the non-requesting party which is reasonably
necessary for the operation of business by the requesting party or the
requesting party is required to produce to a third party in connection with
legal, administrative or governmental proceedings.  The requesting party agrees
to give the non-requesting party prompt notice of all requests for disclosure of
such information or records that arise during legal, administrative or
governmental proceedings involving the requesting party, so that the
non-requesting party may seek a protective order with respect to the threatened
disclosure.  If the requesting party is required to disclose such information or
records, the requesting party agrees to give written notice to the
non-requesting party as soon as possible of the information and records required
to be disclosed and, at the non-requesting party’s request and expense, to use
reasonable efforts to obtain assurances that such information and records
required to be disclosed will be maintained on a confidential basis and will not
be disclosed to a greater degree than required by law.  In addition to the
foregoing, Seller will permit Purchaser and its tax or accounting
representatives access to Seller’s journals and general ledgers relating to the
Branch for financial and tax purposes during such five-year period.

7.7       Further Assurances.  On and after the Closing Date, Seller shall (i)
give such further assurances to Purchaser and shall execute, acknowledge and
deliver all such bills of sale, deeds, acknowledgments and other instruments,
and take such further action as may be necessary and appropriate to effectively
vest in Purchaser the full legal and equitable title to the Assets and to the
security interests, if any, relating to the Assets and (ii) use reasonable
efforts to assist Purchaser in the orderly transition of the Branch operations
being acquired by the Purchaser.  In order to comply with its obligations set
forth in subsection (i) above, Seller will grant to specified employees of
Purchaser, if necessary, a power of attorney (the “Power of Attorney”) for the
limited purpose of signing and filing all such bills of sale, acknowledgments,
assignments and other instruments.

7.8       Signage.  All interior and exterior signs identifying the Seller will
be covered or removed by Purchaser, at Purchaser’s expense, by the opening of
business on the first business day after the Closing Date and all signs will be
removed within 10 calendar days following the Closing Date. From and after the
Closing Date, Purchaser will at its expense as soon as reasonably practicable
change the name on all documents and facilities relating to the Branch to
Purchaser's name.

7.9       Indemnification by Purchaser.  For a period of two years after the
Closing Date, Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and
against any and all damages, liabilities and losses which may be sustained by
Seller by reason of Purchaser's breach of any representation, warranty or
covenant to Seller under this Agreement.  Purchaser further agrees to indemnify
and hold Seller harmless from and against any and all damages, liabilities and
losses which may be sustained by Seller by reason of Purchaser's actions on and
after the Closing Date with respect to the Assets or Assumed Liabilities
transferred hereunder.  Purchaser's covenants shall not be deemed to be violated
by discharge of Assumed Liabilities in accordance with normal trade practices or
by forbearing to discharge any such obligation which Purchaser is disputing in
good faith and for which Purchaser has provided adequate reserves, provided
Purchaser indemnifies and holds Seller harmless in connection with the same as
set forth above.

21

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7.10      Indemnification by Seller.  For a period of two years after the
Closing Date, Seller agrees to indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from and
against any and all damages, liabilities and losses which may be sustained by
Purchaser by reason of Seller's breach of any representation, warranty or
covenant to Purchaser under this Agreement.  Seller further agrees to indemnify
and hold Purchaser harmless from and against any and all damages, liabilities
and losses which may be sustained by Purchaser with respect to the Branch, the
Assets or the Assumed Liabilities arising from acts, omissions or events
occurring prior to the Closing Date, but not including any state of facts
existing, or act or omission of Seller, with respect to: (a) the title to the
Real Property and any claims, liens or encumbrances thereon (it being understood
and agreed that Purchaser will rely upon title insurance for these purposes); or
(b) the condition of the Real Property, which the parties acknowledge is being
sold “AS IS,” except as provided in Section 4.10 and Schedule1.1C.

7.11      Defense of Actions - Purchaser Indemnifications.  Seller shall notify
Purchaser promptly of any lawsuit or claim against Seller which it has
reasonable cause to believe would entitle it to indemnification
hereunder.  Purchaser shall be entitled to assume at its expense the defense of,
and to determine the terms of settlement of, any such suit or claim, except that
no term awarding relief other than money damages against Seller may be agreed to
without the consent of Seller, and no award of money damages against Seller
shall be agreed to without satisfactory prior arrangements between Purchaser and
Seller to assure Seller that Purchaser will have sufficient funds available to
respond to the award.  If Purchaser promptly so elects to assume, and promptly
so notifies Seller, and does assume, the defense of any such suit or claim, it
shall not be liable for any legal expense or other expenses incurred by Seller
with respect to such suit or claim and Seller shall be solely responsible for
those expenses (whether incurred by Seller before or after Purchaser assumes the
defense of any such suit or claim).  If Purchaser does not assume the defense of
any such suit or claim, it shall thereafter be barred from disputing the nature
and amount of the monetary damages ultimately incurred or determined to have
been incurred by Seller in settling or litigating the suit or claim.
